Mountain Lion

[Arya Boustani]

Messengers are the product of the need and the momentum of believing in a concept by the critical mass, almost regardless of the capability of the messenger. Apple is trying to stick to the themes of popularity and I don’t think they quite know which ingredients are destructive in their path to future. They are just counting on the momentum.
I think the reason studios bought Mac 15 years ago was because they found it was not trying to change now and then to suite the peak of the popularity and profit making so they could rely on it as a solid ground to grow their proficiency by sticking to a work process. I rather fabricate that solid ground by sticking to the older OS and older Pro Apps. I think it is a dangerous path to mix up my day to day personal computer fun features with deadline driven audiovisual deliverables. I look to it as a hardware mixer. It doesn’t change with time and I know exactly what it’s doing so I can rely on it.

Thanks so much for this! I just bought a 12 core beast and upgraded to Lion and FCPX and my head is spinning. I definitely want to go back and install FCP7 on this new comp. i don;t get FCPX at all and I’m so slow on it with the edits I’ve tried. Good to know I’m not dead in the water with the pile of projects I have to cut for broadcast. Thanks again for the info/testing!

Hi, thank you for these screenshots and comments.
I hope it will still be ok with FCP7 and Mountain Lion (and also that this weird capture menu issue will be solved)

How is it going now, now that ML is going to come out.

Hey,
Does anyone know if this successfully applies to FCS 2 running FCP 6.0.6 as well?
Thanks
Andrew

Hi – apologies for not responding sooner…

As of the build prior to the GM that I believe released yesterday (???) FCP7 and the various menu spillages / bugs that I had shown in the first build have been corrected.

FCP7 works as it would under Lion which I’m currently using right now.

I see no reason why 6 wouldn’t work under Mountain Lion – Does 6 work for you under Lion / are you able to create a dummy HDD to test that on?

From what I can see at least the jump from Lion – ML is negligible compared to that of SL – Lion

Yes, this is a very crusty thread ….

“but anyway”

I am wondering what the highest version of FCP X that can run on Mountain Lion,
since I can’t seem to find any specifics on roaringapps.com

ie. Does FCP X 10.3 run on Mountain Lion?

How about 10.2.2?

“In quiring minds want to know”

Plus, I have a client who has an old MacBook Pro 2008 – that can only upgrade to Mountain Lion.

Thanks so much!

If I’m not mistaken the last version you can run on Mountain Lion is 10.0.9. A far cry from 10.3.1, the current version.
It also depends on which graphics cards you have.
