Just downloaded 10 driver and it crashes FCP7. They also officially state that 7 is not supported. I guess I’ll be working with out of sync audio. Too bad.

I’ve tried the last two drivers with no luck. Audio always drops after 10-15 seconds. When I pause the timeline, the audio resets but drops out again when I hit play. Strange because the video output is solid and there are no other issues with FCP7. Just wish the audio was stable!

Surprised that FCP7 works at all on new Mac Pro, so hoping there is a new driver soon.

Thinking of switching to Avid. I find the lack of a real timeline maddening in X–and not having built in support for OMF is a real downer for the kind of work we do. Premiere frustrated me even more. Although, I do want to load x on new mac to see just how fast it is.

Are you using offset in FCP7? Just switched to 9.9.3 and with system output it works fine, but can’t figure out what the offset is (or if I’ll be able to sync at all).

I’ve discovered the same with 9.9.2 and 9.9.3. The video is perfect, but in an edit in FCP7, the audio drops out after usually like 30 seconds. Sometimes, get a dropped frame warning. If I turn the warning off, the audio drops off just the same. The system audio works fine. Are you using any offset to handle this?

I hope they will fix it, but kind of cool to have FCP7 running on a relatively fast (and quiet) machine! Apple Color also screams and works perfectly with BMD, so a plus too.

Tech support hasn’t been very helpful. One would think that FCP7 is important. Regardless of what anyone says, it’s what half the world uses to edit commercially.

Thanks

Did you do any more testing with 9.9.2? I am running Ultrastudio w/ Thunderbolt on new Mac Pro and while the video works perfectly, having major audio issues in FCP7. It will work, albeit slightly out of sync, for a few seconds and then audio will drop out from timeline. Even when playing a QT audio file from QT player, the audio will drop out or scan forward through the timeline.

Any thoughts are appreciated. New machine is incredibly fast and stable with FCP7 and Apple Color, just wish the audio would work and then we’d have the perfect legacy solution.

Best,

Thanks for this. Installed Pro Apps and it worked.
