Final Cut Pro 7 on a PowerPC

[Ian Liuzzi-fedun]

I have to agree with you about that whole family thing. Please let me know your results when installing on your quad.

FCS3 intel only? [Steve Lies] Motion 4 on G5 test = Success!

Despite Apple’s attempt to make me consider my perfectly decent G5 Quad Core Obsolete…FCS3 does indeed work on my machine.

Here is a picture of the thread apple ‘removed’ when I asked for further info on the possible PowerPC compatibility reported by some: https://files.me.com/lucidmotion/ybljnh

Happy to test any specific functions for G5 compatibility, just send me suggestions and I’ll report back.

Zane, while I can appreciate your persistence and insistence that FCP 7 not be run on a PPC, please let those of us whose goal is to try to use it in that way have our discussion. Your opposition has been noted again and again and again and again…

Bottom line, if FCP 7 absolutely can NOT run on a PPC, we will soon come to that same conclusion on our own without you berating us.

If it is possible to run on a PPC, as seems to be the case based on other people’s experiences, then your berating us serves no purpose as it will not stop us from trying.

Fair enough. But in return, I ask that anyone who insists on running FCP 7 on a PPC machine clearly state that in any request for assistance from this forum.

As in, “FCP 7 running a G5 Dual 2.0” somewhere in your question or in the system setup, so the moderators and anyone else who attempts to assist in your issue will know immediately that you are not running on a supported setup.

Ok?

You are as bad if not worse than apple.

[Ian Liuzzi-Fedun] “You are as bad if not worse than apple. “

I take that as a compliment in this thread.

But yeah, I’m horrible. I just hang out on this forum and others completely free of charge, completely volunteering my time to help folks figure out problems with FCP and teach them some new tricks. I’m definitely worse than Apple, I don’t even charge folks for this!

I’ve got FCP 7.0 running on my Apple IIe 🙂 LOL

[Brian Mclean]

There is a hack to get fcp 7 on a non-intel machine.
Search I am running now.

However I have to render my timeline for just a simple dv clip!

Can anyone list the packages that have to be installed by pacifist to get FCP7 and Motion working? I don’t need all the other stuff. I have installed FCPCore pkg and FCP package, but keep getting ‘shot down unexpectedly’ error. Any info would be helpful. I used pacifist and opened the installer package which then showed me the individual packages.

Thanks for any info.
Doug

I figured it out. I was missing the XSKey.pkg.
