Quicktime 7.5

[Joe Womble]

3.0.1 supports Quicktime 7.4.5 at this time. I haven’t tried going beyond that for obvious reasons. I suggest you wait until it’s approved to start using it with 7.5.

The dilema is that I have FCP 6.0 on my system as well and cannot work on a project that originated on a 6.03 system because I cannot upgrade to 6.03 until I have installed QT 7.5… This is a sad state of affairs!

Then create a Dual Boot. Better for both apps.

Can I do it with adding another user in the os accounts section?

Jeremy –
this is what you need to do. There is no shortcut (and believe me, if there was one, I would have done it, as I built systems with both FCP and AVID on them all the time).

You go to Best Buy, or your local mail order company, and order a nice cheap 160 gig internal SATA drive. You install this in your MAC, and load your MAC OS 10.5.4 on this NEW DRIVE. Then you load up FCP, with the latest Quicktime version (7.5), and you have no problems. If you put Media Composer and Final Cut Pro on the SAME drive you will have NOTHING but problems. A small raw SATA drive is very very very inexpensive (dinner out this weekend), and requires no tools or cables to install it in your MAC Pro. As long as you have your original MAC OS disks, this is very easy to do, and will take you about 5 hours this weekend to accomplish.

Thanks Bob,

I neglected to mention I’m running off a MacBook Pro not a Mac Pro…

I wish i could jam another internal drive in there!

ITS NOT GOING TO WORK.

Get an external drive, clone your current hard drive (with Carbon Copy Cloner), partition your MBP’s HD, Carbon Copy the “old” install back to one partition, and do a new install on the other partition.
Keep one partition for Avid with the right OS and QT, keep the other partition for everything else.

You could also get the person who gave you the original project to export it as XML Vers. 3. You could then import that into your older version and it should translate over fine. That is probably your best bet and you don’t have to mess around.

Why FCP does not do this by default is very annoying.
