FCP7 and Retina MacBook Pros

[Ben Holmes]

There is a good chance they’re right about FCP6 – I think it’s incompatible.

However, they are 100% wrong about FCP7. It runs fine on Mountain Lion. Anecdotally I’d say my rMBP is more stable than under Lion.

Get hold of a copy of Final Cut Studio 3 and install FCP7. And don’t panic!

Hey 🙂

I apologise if this question may have been answered further down on this page, but i dont have time to go through them all right now.

You see… i have just installed FCP7 in my new retina MBP and every time i try to drag the video from viewer over to the sequence my program crashes. It happens repeatedly, i can never get any further. Pls help me.

Hi Anja

I can’t answer that – what version of FCP are you running, what OS are you running, and what codec video are you editing with?

All I can say is that with normal codecs at HD resolutions the rMBP is fine. If you are trying to do this, then I’d suggest you have a bad install.

thank you for your answer.

I use FCP 7.0.3 and the MBP retina 15″ possibly DVC PRO HD

Something similar happened to me yesterday, but I wasn’t on the rMBP, just a regular MacPro tower. And happened when I tried changing the resolution of the screen whilst FCP was opened.
Coincidence? Bad Luck?
