    Thanks in advance for any help. Just got FCP6. Question: do I need to uninstall my older version of FCP? The reason I ask is I am looking to eke out some space on my laptop’s hard drive to make room for the new version. Could add more drive space I know but I’m kinda rural and in a bit of a hurry. any thoughts?

    You do not need to uninstall. FCS 2 overwrites the original files.I would suggest cloning your hard drive before you upgrade. I would order a couple of HD’s online. Fry’s and Zip Zoom Fly always have specials on HD’s.

    Install all your extra files form LT, STP and Motion on an external drive to save drive space on your laptop. Otherwise, move the files from your music, movie, picture and download folders to an external or DVD. I’ll bet you have GB’s of files there.

    Don’t Rush. If you are, wait till you have time.
