It also won’t work if the original G4 was not at least 867 MHz. AT least that was what Motion 1.0 needed.
There are now two video cards that can allow Motion. ATI has a new 9600 video card that can work in either a PC or MAC and has 256 MB Vram. It works in a 4x or 8x AGP slot, so it can be used in a G4.
The only other card that originally worked with Motion on a G4 (which I have) is the ATI 9800 Radeon Pro Mac Edition 4x AGP card with 128 MB Vram.
Either of these cards are either DVI-VGA or dual DVI outputs, so if you have an Apple ADC monitor, you will need to add their DVI-ADC converter.

My guess would be the iMac except for lack of expandability compared to the G4 dual 1.0 GHz.
FCP really likes dual procesors, but the G5 at twice the clock speed would seem to be a faster machine that 2×1.0 G4 processors.
I do have a Quicksilver dual 1.0 Ghz G4 and run FC Studio and other softwares on it. It also has an internal RAID 0 setup with 2-250 GB SATA drives.

:80 GB Mac hard drive
:160 GB lacie internal hard drive (originally firewire drive)If you want to keep FCP 4.5 I would suggest that you use the 160 GB internal drive as a place to load Tiger and FCP Studio.
If you try to load FCS onto the 80 GB drive, it will overwrite FCPHD with FCP 5.

It works on my machine – well not the Unlimited RT, but close.
Quicksilver 2002 dual 1.0 GHz G4 – ATI Radeon 9800 Pro – 1.5 GB Ram – Final Cut Studio – Tiger 10.4.2

Soundtrack Pro?????

[Richard Martz] “I expect to do analog capture from various sources like DVD and VHS and will need to view everything on a monitor”
What you need is an analog to digital conversion for VHS and for DVD, well; if they are legal to rip, there are other ways to get them back into Quicktime.
For A/D, you realy don’t need a capture card as such, rather you can route the output from a VHS deck into a DV camcorder with component inputs and out the Firewire as digital.
A capture card is for interfacing with a professional tape deck using BetaSP or DigiBeta.

If you want to FADE and not end in white, use the Dip to Color = white

[Tim] “What if I, in addition to the ATI Radeon, installed the original card (I believe it’s the Nvidia 5200) in an available slot?”
You only have ONE- AGP slot and both of those cards are AGP, not PCI.

10.4.2 installed on my G4 and all seems well.

Since the Apple RAID 0 is a software RAID, it is wise to consider this before upgrading from one major OS version to another.
I unloaded my two drive RAID system before installing Tiger, but amazingly, it was still active when I booted up after the install.
As it is ALWAYS suggested – be sure to BACKUP any thing important before updating or installing software.
