Again, thank you so much for this new reply. I’ll try your suggestions and keep fcp 7 on my OS mountain lion session. But since I’m stubborn, I’d like to make a last try on my High Sierra OS.

I hope you won’t get worried but this little query of mine: I was wondering if maybe you could wire me the dmg file for fcp 7.0.3 by any chance with “grosfichiers.com” (10Go max!) if I sent you my email adress ?
If it’s not in your philosophy, forget it, I’d understand of course, but since I don’t have my install DVD anymore and do want to spend time and money on this adventure, I’m asking this favor from you. Please do as you please and I won’t mind at all if that’s not ok.
Thanks for reading me and understanding Bo, have a good day !

Guten Tag Bo Jones !

Viel dank for your interest, it’s very kind of you to take note of my little plea 😉
I’d even like to upgrade to Mojave if possible, so that my mac mini wouldn’t look so old ! I must confess it feels helpless on mountain when working on a fcp7 session, for as you know, no other app works anymore when you’re buried in there 😉 !
What I’d need in fact is the fcp7 .dmg file, I’m not expert enough to turn my mpkg into dmg though I know it’s possible.
Otherwise not too familiar with APFS and putting my hands deep into the engine either !

How about AppCleaner to clean the preceding install leftovers ?

Biss bald ?

Hi everyone !
Nostalgia striked again: tada , holly scoop !!!
Supposely Retroactive 2.1 let’s you seamlessly come back to FCP7 former projects.
I own a cranky mac mini 2012 Fusion with high sierra but my reality got different: I launched Retroactive and a so called seamless process searched for an existing fcp7 install file in my High Sierra partition. From then on, my FCP7 should have been ready to go! Great, but which install file? .mpkg, toast, dmg, .app??? Hurray, I reached the final step with a blasting success window complete with fireworks graphics, but when clicking on “launch”, zilch, nutin’ !
I just have a toast or mpkg file that works fine on the mac os mountain session, but I sense it’s bound to sleep there until the end of time. My heart thumped when I did a little progress as I manually showed the fcp.app to Retroactive on the mountain session, but then nothing again .

My original install dvds got lost, so I’ll just have to burn in hell I guess!

If anyone here can help me, I’d be really thankful for a tip for nostalgia, it’s the happiness of being sad !

Hi Nick,
Now I get it ! Am I dum !
Of course, I’ll put them all in the TL, brilliant, thanks again !

Thanks for your kind answer !
Clicking on the correct icons for each clip when you have many to view is a little cumbersome.
The amp thing is a good idea. Even using the simple computer’s sound balance btw is a pertinent practical tip I did not think of !
Cheerio

Hi again,
I’m wasting your time Shane and must apologise.
Everything went back into order. I erased the culprit shot on my timeline and put it back (it’s a 10Go itw shot that lasts for 7mn. It stalled when I started cutting into it, still dunno why) . Now it’s all working fine again in prores 422 HQ.
It’s all a mystery to me. Anyway, I’m still under the charm of discovering this fantastic little camera. Images are amazing for the price and I hope with time I’ll be able to master it better as well as Editready.
I also need to get back into basics about all those formats but I’m old school and it’s not easy.
Again, thanks for your time and for helping lost souls ?
Stephan

Another thing I don’t get with Editready or maybe I have to go through the whole abc agin’:
the metadata windows mentions dailies converted in prores are H.264 and I don’t get this notion. So far, H.264 was a notion I associated with my final export in .mov from FCP, not at the early conversion stage from XAVC to prores, or am I mixing up everything here ?
