Ok to Upgrade To Leopard??

[Rafael Amador]

Hi KC,
There are always “little things” but Leopard works great.
Same than you, I have a MBP and an old G5. In both of them I’m running leopard with no problems.

Mac OX 10.5.2-FC 6.02-QT 7.4.1
G5 2x2Gh 4GbRAM-BlackMagic Extreme
PMBP 17″Core2Duo 4GbRAM-AJA ioHD
JVC DTV-17″
SONY EX-1 . SONY PD170
..and always a big mess on top of the table.

Working great here.

Its been talked about quite a bit on the FCP forum.

There are no “technical solutions” to your “artistic problems”.
Don’t let technology get in the way of your creativity!

Leopard is fine, the only thing that has happened here on one of the workstations is Compressor stopped working. So I’m going to completely re-install Studio on that machine this coming week.

Don’t do an archive & install or upgrade, wipe the disk clean and start again.
there have been a lot of problems with Motion if you don’t wipe.

Peter’s correct. Every time I upgrade I wipe the drive clean and perform a clean install of the OS, Final Cut Studio, etc. Although it takes some time, I never had issues.

If I wipe the whole hard drive, can I reinstall FCPS2 without having to reinstall back versions? I think this last time all I got was the upgrade because I’ve been with FCP since vers.3.

Also, what’s the best way to wipe the drive? I was a PC guy forever until I switched in 2003, and there are still some things about MAC I’m not proficient with.

Lastly I do have some older software and quite a few FCP plug-ins. Will Leopard kill all that?
