Running FCS 2 on 13″ Core i5 with Lion
My Questions are;
1. What apps in Final Cut Studio 2 could be run on a 13″ Core i5 2.3 Ghz Macbookpro?
2. Are the integrated Intel Graphics 3000 on the sandybridge Pros supported with FSC 2 rather than the integrated intel graphics that FCS 2’s specs lists as unsupported?
13″ Specs – https://www.apple.com/macbookpro/specs-13inch.html
FCS 2 Specs – https://support.apple.com/kb/SP5353. Would the method of installing FCS 2 through firewire described in the following link work? (https://discussions.apple.com/message/15540498#15540498)
– I realize that optimally one should just get the 17″ Core i7 MBP with everything maxed out, however I am not rich and that isn’t an option.
– I realize that I could just read the specifications and assume everything doesn’t work but I’ve seen it mentioned without detail that someone ran FSC fine on a 13″ of some sort. Also I am not sure about the integrated graphics difference.
– I realize that the Installer for FCS 2 is PPC (Rosetta) which is not supported by Lion. That is why I have posted the question about the feasibleness of the workaround in point #3.
– I am not considering FCPX
Thanks for taking the time to read and I would appreciate any response you can give to any of the above questions.

I ran FCS 2 on a 13″ macbook. 2.2 ghz 2 gb of ram. It ran fine for SD footage but it started choking on HD. A 13″ screen is not a fun experience to edit on. I would deff recommend an external monitor.
