    No Dedicated Graphics Card… FCP-7?????

    Posted by Aaron Bech on August 4, 2009 at 3:15 am

    Does anyone know someone running FCP 6 or 7 on a machine that does not have a Dedicated Graphics Card (ie Intel integrated Graphics Card) If so, what are your limitations?

    I want to get FCP-7 and I’m worried it would be a bad move given this fact.

    Thanks so much for your help.

    Hi Aaron,

    I’m not sure about your iMac, which should run FCS3 very well, but I loaded FCP 7, Soundtrack Pro and DVDSP from FSC3 on a much less capable Macbook using one of the methods found here:

    Thanks Joel! How does FCS-3 run on your mac. What are the limitations?

    Thanks Joel!

    How does your machine handle FCS-3? What are the limitations? Can you get anything out of Motion or Color or are they effectively useless?
