Macbook Pro for Final Cut Pro
I am going to get a new Macbook Pro but wanted to be sure it would work with Final Cut Pro. This is what I want to get. Cheapest MacBook Pro but I’m going to upgrade the memory to 4GB
Macbook Pro
15-inch: 2.4GHz
2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB memory
200GB hard drive
Double-layer SuperDrive
NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT with 256 MBThe things that threw me off on the final cut tech specs were:
Minimum Requirements to Install All Final Cut Studio Applications
* An AGP or PCI Express Quartz Extreme graphics card (Final Cut Studio is not compatible with integrated Intel graphics processors)Color-Specific Requirements
* The standard graphics card in any Mac Pro, 17-inch MacBook Pro, 24-inch iMac, or 2.5GHZ or faster Power Mac G5 Quad.Thanks!

That MBP will be fine but it will not run Color very well. IIRC, the screen is too small to have a high enough resolution.

Hi,
I have a similar question.
I got a Macbook Pro 15”, 2,6GHz IntelCore Duo
4GB memory
250Gb hard drive
NVIDIA GeForce8600GT with 512 MBbut it does not work with the Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 coming with the Final Cut Studio package. It signals a configuration problem, and a missing AGP card…?
How could I make it work?
Thanks, Zsuzsa -
Press the escape key when the error message comes up. Or upgrade to a version that works with an Intel machine.
All the best,
Tom
