final cut and avid on same computer
HI,
I’ve just acquired my first Mac – MacBook Pro 15, 2.8MHz, 4Gb ram. I’ve installed Final Cut Studio 2. I’m wondering if it is viable to also install Media Composer and Mojo and the same computer? Anyone have any knowledge of that?
Thanks,

I suggest partitioning the hard drive into two and putting FCS on one side and Avid on the other. WHile my laptop does have FCS2 and Avid 3.0 on it, I do have some minor conflict issues, unlike the MacPro that has both but on separate drives. But this might be due to the other stuff I have, like MXF4QT and other third party apps that I use to read MXF files from P2 cards natively. Since Avid now captures as MXF…there might be conflicts going on.
I will be getting a new MacBook Pro soon, and I will be partitioning that so that I can have both. You can try it. I don’t use this machine for day to day editing, mainly demos, so I can live with the minor issues.

Shane, sorry to dig this up from last year. I’m thinking about adding Avid to my computer that already has FCS. What were the minor conflict issues you mentioned? Like you, I’m only using this system for small jobs and personal projects so I imagine it won’t be a huge issue. I’d just like to know what to expect if I go through with it.
Thanks,
