Done – thank you.

Dennis, Yes, I have FCP7 installed and would like the 7.0.3 update.
I started with FCP 2.0.1 in 2000 (although I did have earlier beta versions while still using Media 100) and stayed with FCP until 2015 when I finally switched to FCPX for all my editing. In 2019 I switched to Resolve Studio.
Now retired, I only work pro-bono for Church, Charity, Voluntary organisations but I still get asked to transfer VHS, Mini DV and DVCAM tapes to either DVD or mp4. I found a BM Intensity card on eBay for £10 UKP , then a 4.1 MacPro, Dual 3.2 with El Capitan with 32Gb RAM locally for sale for £100 UKP, I fitted a couple of SSD’s and then found a genuine unopened (still film wrapped) commercial version of FCP7 on eBay for £30UKP and couldn’t resist buying it.
To have the 7.0.3 update would be great if you could send it (WeTransfer is OK up to 2GB)
As an aside, I have the important FCP v6 updates that I occasionally get asked for, after people find me from conversations on Creative Cow years ago, but I never kept the 7.0.3 update!

Not sure that would work but thanks for the offer, I’ll hold out to see if anyone has the 7.0.3 installer. It’s not mission-critical and I can live without it, it’s an old 4.1 ElCapitan system I use for digitising archive DV/DVCAM tapes via a BM Intensity card.

As it says, I have FCP v7 running on an old MacPro 4.1, there was an update to 7.0.3 which is no longer available from Apple – I’m hoping someone has an archived copy they can send me.

[Kyle Le] “If I am playing something on the timeline and it goes to the right and runs out of space, I have to pause and play it again before the timeline adjusts so I can see the rest of the clip/or other files. Is there a setting that the timeline moves along with what is being played? or do. have to move the scroll to the right manually?”
CommandPost does this, a free ‘addon for FCPX – https://commandpost.io/

One ‘trick’ I’ve used when this occurs is to render each clip (or small section) individually to find the one clip (or clips) causing the problem.

One of the main reasons FCP memory errors occur is you have an image in the timeline that is over 4000 pixels – check your image file sizes.

I regularly get .avi files to edit from a ‘GoPro’ type camera, they open in QT7 Pro on a 2009 MacPro (El Capitan) and it allows export to ProRes for FCP7. The machine once had FCP7 on it so the ProRes codecs and QT7 stayed on the system when I deleted it off that partition as FCP7 failed to work properly under El Capitan and I now use a second boot drive with just SL & FCP7.

This is a well known problem which many have tried to answer, I had a JVC ProHD for 3 years with FCP7 and I’m not sure I ever fully ever understood it! The JVC HD110 records at 720p and up converts to 1080i on playback, I think you’ll either need a JVC BR-HD50 or a JVC HD110 camera to capture it to FCP. This article might help explain it – https://www.provideocoalition.com/universal_hdv_deck_almost/
I ended up buying a BR-HD50 and had no problems capturing to FCP 7.0.3. If you consider buying / using a JVC HD 110 camera, one point to remember is the FW out socket usually ends up broken and most don’t bother to get it fixed due to cost!
