I have the same exact problem, running FCP 7.0, Mountain Lion 10.8.3 on Mac Mini. I can’t figure out where the hell you install plugins manually, nothing seems to work. I’ve tried Library/Application Support/Pro Apps/Internal Plugins, I’ve tried in all the FXplug Folders, in FCP System Support and the “plug-ins” folder in “Library”, nothing seems to work. The organization seems to shift/change with every OS and every version of FCP on every computer. For some mysterious reason or another I’m missing the Smoothcam filter and am trying to put it in manually, for whatever reason (or thing I’m doing wrong) I can’t seem to be able to. God knows my folders may be all mis-arranged anyway

really all those semi confusing labels and codecs and formats mean to me is, “stuff that will not work on your machine because you don’t have thousands of dollars to upgrade your hardware”

Oh ProRes LT, ok, well thats what I was trying to find out. So there is a major difference between Po Res HQ 422 and Pro Res LT. One will work on PPC machines, the other will not. The two formats should be clearly labeled and identified.
-
just had the client send me a sample in the latest ProRes HQ 422 (highest data rate) it works fine on my G5 in FCP 6.4. So what’s the deal? I thought you guys said intel FCP 7 only?
-
Yea the question on my mind is, are there different types of ProRes 422 HQ’s? Cause the “Apple ProRes 422 HQ” (184mbs/s data rate) works fine on my G5. So whats to stop me from transcoding/converting the ProRes 422 HQ that will only work on Intel macs (apparently) to ProRes 422 HQ that will? and whats the big quality difference? Their both ProRes 422 HQ

i appreciate the info though. Obviously i’m going to have to borrow access to an intel Mac
-
it’s not a matter of “thinking” about updating it’s a matter of some of us not having the money!

i have read that ONLY FCP 7 can handle Pro Res HQ, but FCP 6.4 has the settings. are there different types of pro res 422 HQ codecs??
-
FCP 6.4 does have the Pro Res 422 HQ project settings, and I just took a small sample of some HDV and transcoded it to ProRes HQ (1920×1080) via Mpeg Streamclip, and it plays fine. I don’t know if this is any different than what the client will be sending me, could it be? I know it will be incredible sluggish/near impossible to work with one way or the other on this machine. Sigh, if only I still had easy access to an Intel mac since my MacBook Pro was damaged and lost forever

Yea i have the project settings and have worked with “standard” ProRes before, which was incredible sluggish on this machine. (or maybe it was the G4 with the RAID) I don’t know how big a difference between Prores and ProRes 422 HQ there is. No RAID card that I know of on this G5, just a standard SATA
