Zane thanks and sorry that I used this thread and didn’t start a new one as you pointed out.

I’m just trying to figure out best how do make this transition within the money that I can allocate for it. I had thought there was a firewire port on the Macbook but gather I was wrong. Now that I have confirmed the used Macbook Pro’s are Intel based I’m looking at that.

I appreciate your’s and Tom’s feedback. I’ll cut myself off this thread and any other questions/problems I’ll post anew. Thank you guys.

I just realized too that the Pro’s I am looking at on Gainsaver’s are Intel machines, was my mistake I thought they were older. Given that the Pro will handle the video requirements since it’s not integrated correct or am I misinformed about that? Thx for all Tom.

Jim

Tom thanks for your response. My fear in getting Intel machine right now was wondering if v4 (I have) will run on the Macbook 13.3 which I couldn’t find a consistent answer on. Will the version not run at all on an integrated graphics card machine or is it only Motion and the Color module won’t?

Thanks

Jim

I have a sidebar question to this thread that I hope is okay. I’ve scoured the threads a bit and can’t find what I’m after. I’m new to CCow and in the process of preparing to go to FCE or FCP. I’ve been cutting for a while on Adobe Premiere due to hardware limitations on my present Mac HW (500mhz G4 tower). I have a better windows machine through work hence AP. I would like to go Mac portable either refurb Macbook Pro or new Macbook but realize the problems or limitations installing FCP on the Macbook which has integrated video card. Is it possible to install parts of FCP on a Macbook? I have come to believe the answer is no so I began to look at Macbook Pro G4 series recently. Will they support all of FCP? If so I’m looking at a 2.16 or 2.33 mhz with 2 gig of ram.

Lastly it seems that there is more flexibility with the older ports, 4 and 4.5 with non-Intel than with newer requring the UB version, am I right about that?

Thanks for the info and forgive if I’ve taken the thread askew.
