I have a copy of FCP 6.0.6 that I can confirm works just fine on Sierra 10.12.1.
I have absolutely no interest in using it anymore though as it really does feel old, slow and clunky compared to FCPX or PP. -
A teaser trailer for Focus has just been released. Here’s a link:https://youtu.be/A1PqBFHoeTA

Check out the Digital Anarchy – ‘Flicker Free’ plug-in if you haven’t already – you did post this a little while ago so you may already be aware of this.

Yeah – you’ve kinda got a point there. Now that the dust is settling and I’m looking down the list of new features have to agree with you. I thought The playhead and audio features would be there for sure. There was enough people making enough noise about this surely to have got noticed.
My opinion is they messed up real bad with the initial release of FCPX – i mean we know they did right? but further down the road i think they realised that the fundamental underlying structure and foundations of FCPX just weren’t adequate. It was essentially “A house built on sand’ – prone to corruption and “not ready for prime time” consequently it would seem they have had to spend all of there time rewriting the organisational structural basics yet again instead of implementing all the stuff users actually wanted. -
With no manufacturing costs as in the old days with disks and boxes and printing i guess they only need to claw back the development costs to break even. I suspect FCPX is seen at least in part as a marketing tool to drive people to buy the new MacPros and to a lesser extent maybe macbook Pros. Hardware is where the money is for Apple and the current push is “get yourself a new machine to power that future 4K production!”.

Absolutely – i couldn’t agree more.

What is this image tearing of which you speak?
I haven’t experienced this. When did it start? -
Do you have Time Machine back ups or the earlier codecs package on a different non updated machine?
Maybe you could manually remove the updated codecs from their folder by simply dragging them to the trash or keeping them somewhere where they wont be a nuisance and replace them with the earlier versions?Just an idea.

Hi Shane,
I have just updated my ageing 2009 Mac Book Pro to Mavericks.
As it goes i have an old install of Final Cut Studio 2 on there.
I am pleased to tell you that FCP6 does in fact work fine although some of the plug ins did not.
After updating and on first launching the application it would hang while attempting to load Boris Continuum Shaders making it then “Quit Suddenly” while still on the loading splash screen.
After uninstalling BCS plug ins however it all now works fine.
I haven’t tested it thoroughly as i don’t really use it anymore, however just for you and in the name of science i opened up a pre existing project, made a new sequence, set in and out points on some footage, dragged it to the timeline. Bladed it, trimmed it, added a cross dissolve, rendered some colour correction and exported a ProRes 422 Quicktime successfully, all of which is fairly conclusive i would say.There you go!
Steve.

If it’s afile size issue – remember that Compressor gives you the estimated file size as a calculation in the inspector when you are making your settings. As for what those settings should be? That depends on the files end purpose.
