Snow Leopard update affecting FCP?
I currently have Final Cut Pro version 6.0.6 and am running OSX 10.5.
I’d like to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6 but have read about people having issues with Final Cut suddenly not working or issues with certain functions.
Has anyone heard of this?

Only if they don’t do the upgrade right. That means backing up the drive…best to CLONE the working system to an external drive. Then wiping the drive clean, and installing the OS fresh, and all of your applications from the original installers. NO MIGRATION ASSISTANT.

After the upgrade, doing an update past 10.6.2 has been breaking the mpeg2 component making Streamclip and DVDSP have issues with audio. Not everyone has had this problem, but it did happen to me (FCS2) and I had to roll back to 10.6.2 from 10.6.4. Don’t know if this has been fixed in later updates, or even if there are any, as my system is happy now, so I’m not even checking for updates.

Hi Shane,
May be you can help me.
I bought a new MBP and I’m trying to start it from an external HD were I’ve cloned (Carbon Copy Cloner with full “Blocks” copy). However my MBP doesn’t want to start. The HD shows up when I start with the Option key pressed, but when selected, its doesn’t load the system.
Any idea?
Best,

Is your Hard Drive’s Partition Map Scheme GUID Partition Table?

How is the drive connected Raf? I think you have to do this via firewire…

Hi Steve and Shane,
The HD is a FW, and is supposed to be a perfect clone of the HD that is running my old MBP (Intel Core 2 Duo). The partition is GUID.
I’ve reseted the PRAM, but nothing.
Thanks anyway.

If you have an older model Intel Mac Pro (ver 1.1, 1.2) and you use blackmagic I/O cards then you might have problems. Some do, some don’t. I do – and apparently blackmagic knows about it but they can’t be bothered fixing it – the “it” is that if you are using one of their codec’s FCP crashes whenever you deal with things like CG or still images.
Other than that I find Snow Leopard and FCP to be very stable.

I’ve installed SL on top of Leopard and I can boot from the external HD.
It seems that Leopard doesn’t works on the new Intel processors.
