Activity Forums Apple Final Cut Pro Legacy new studio 2

  • Posted by Tom Maloney on April 25, 2007 at 2:46 pm

    Hi all , not making it to NAB, I did not see the demo of the new FCP 6 and Studio 2. My question is will this all work on my MB Pro and what is the correct procedure one would use to install it when it ships? Remove all the old programs and start from scratch. as you can tell I am fairly new to Macs

    Thank you all

    Tom

    Tech info is on Apple’s site. A MBP should be fine, with enough RAM. I have always just done a straight upgrade with no problems. Some folks prefer to do clean installs. I find with a full, un-customized upgrade, it has always worked just fine for me.

    I run Disk Repair and Disk Warrior first, then upgrade, then run Disk Repair again, and I’ve never had a problem.

    Nothing wrong with a clean install if you have all that extra time.

    Tom,

    Before lifting a finger clone your present system drive to an inexpensive firewire drive using a free app such as Carbon Copy Cloner. Test to make sure it will boot before proceeding, and then continue on… Leaving out that step is a big mistake that no one who earns a living should ever do…
