    Okay I’m finally going to try it. How do I best install FCPX

    Posted by Don Walker on October 12, 2011 at 5:39 pm

    I am finally going to try a project on FCP X.

    While I know that DRW suggested a 3 partition setup to protect myself from problems, could I install FCP X on my current system drive without disrupting my current install of FCP 7?

    Does the program run better on Lion compared to Snow Leopard?

    Is there a inexpensive tutorial, that shows how to best get started?

    I would love to hear your opinions.

    I wouldn’t, but some have. You can at least clone your drive and install on the clone.

    Lion seems to hurt more than help.

    Google shall set you free.
