Hi Bob,
And thanks for all of the retro information.

I have plenty of late iMacs, and MacBook Pros at my place of work for me and my team to get the job done.
My 5.1 MacPro is at home and I use it for fun stuff, not to make a living.

There are many 5.1s out there running the 580 card I spoke of, and I was curious as the price is nice:

So, Bob, when are you retiring? You’re already living in the top state for it.

I was considering getting a Sapphire 11265-05-20G Radeon PULSE RX 580 8GB GDDR5 GPU.
Will Media Composer work with it on my 5.1 system?

Do you mind sharing which video card you are using?
If it works for you, I’d like to emulate what you are doing.

THANKS! I’m Running 10.11.6 El Capitan – forgot to mention that.
I have not upgraded yet, but will move to a compatible OS if necessary.

Anyone? I can’t believe I’ve stumped the collective CC.

Thanks all.
Not complete lunacy to disable the back ups:
The content we run through it, is deleted shortly after it’s uploaded to our platforms, then replaced within a few hours. Stopping the back ups has sped up out iMac.

We create custom lower third templates in Motion.

To use them in one mac account I would copy the folder of these goodies to the Movie folder on the internal drive, and FCPX would automatically find it, and it would be available as a Custom title.. I want the same result, but want to store the motion files (lots of them) on a server, so many users can access them.

thank you. now is there a way to install FCP7 on a system that already has FCP X?

[Hugh Haynie]

Thanks! and have a great Holiday.

Thanks. Do you have Avid running on a laptop? I want to get a testimonial. We have MC6 is on a MacBook Pro at work, it exceeds Avid’s recommended specs, but is a bit slow.
