Ya know? The funny thing I’m seeing is that my old 8 core machine has a card that is “not supported”. But the app runs fine as far as I can see with the X1900 card I have in there…?
I’m unclear as to what I might be “giving up” using it however. Been using my laptop to play with it mostly.
Runs just peachy on my 17″ MBP 2.2 i7 though.

No the spec for what if must have is actually there.. must support Open CL. So any card that does will be compatible. Might simply look at the specs of any card, and if it does support Open CL, it’s compatible.

I was unclear… I’m saying that FCP X won’t import FCP 7 files. I know Premiere and Avid will import XML files… as does FCP 7.

If Apple doesn’t add these features, others will…
Take a look at this: https://www.automaticduck.com/products/pefcp/
They are getting on it already…
There’s little doubt that FCP 7 will run in Lion BTW. It should do just fine.

Stay right where you are. If your “research” has been reading all the whining about FCP X, then you need to chill a bit. There’s so much misinformation going out there right now because people are screaming things like “NO MARKERS”… well there are markers in FCP X.
Other screams like Cant Ingest from tape… Sure you can, just not within the software except for DV and HDV. Gotta AJA software? VTR Exchange I believe will do the trick for FCP X. Can’t monitor externally! True (sort of) for now, but AJA’s posted a way to do this (though you lose the ability for dual computer displays) and on it goes…
The biggest issue I see with the new software is that you can’t open FCP 7 files in FCP X. Yet… Bet you will be able to… you can run FCP 7 and X on the same computer. Just best to do it with a dual boot system setup.
MC is great software, but it’s no more modern right now than what you are running. It’s still 32 bit. Adobe? Well, it’s 64 bit… do you really want to jump? Won’t be opening FCP 7 files in it without a $500 piece of software. (Automatic Duck) and there’s that old learning curve thing no matter what you do unless you wait a bit.
If I were you, I’d stay right where you are for a bit until the shakedown is really over. Next Gen Avid software will no doubt be 64 bit. I’d also wait for a major decision on the future to look at the next gen Mac Pro’s… they are coming I’ll wager very shortly. Better wait and read this hopefully to calm your nerves: https://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/335/908

“There’s no way the plan is to bring this new application to half the functionality of FCP7. ”
What makes you think that?

Apple is no doubt not that surprised. They do know this market I’d think by now seeing that they have the largest share of it. Something tells me they what they are doing… I’ll stay tuned. They’ll say nothing, they will just release. Nothing new there.

That’s the behavior I’m seeing here too…
I have seen mice cause problems with this though.. If I have a fresh battery in my wireless, it sure seems to act better.
