    Quick Question: Does FCP 6 work well with Tiger (OS X 10.4.9)?

    Posted by Chris Guevarra on July 20, 2010 at 5:45 am

    Hey Cows,

    Quick question:

    We’re looking to upgrade from FCP 5.1.4 to FCP 6 on Mac OS X 10.4.9. Has anyone done this and how did the transition go? Are there any known problems in upgrading to FCP 6 while using Tiger OS.

    Thanks everyone!

    Thanks,
    Chris Guevarra

    I ended up with the last Tiger and FCP 6.0.6 which worked fine on my old G5.

    I have since upgraded everything including hardware to SL, FCS3 which is even better

    I believe FCP 6 was originally released on Mac OS 10.4 so that should be no problem at all.
    Are you certain you’re not thinking about FCP 7 (the latest. FCStudio 2009, i.e. 3)?

    I believe that FCP 7 is NOT compatible with 10.4, and requires 10.5.6 or thereabouts.

    If you have an Intel machine why not jump right to FCP 7 and Snow Leopard? The multi-processor benefits will be HUGE! 🙂

    Good luck.

    Thank you both so much for your help.

    Anyone else have any positive (or negative) experiences upgrading FCP 5 to FCP 6 on Mac OS X 10.4.9?

    Thanks,
