Just a bit of a random shout out here, but there’s a little preference pane called ‘default apps’ which is useful for things like this sometime:

Even though I know the Cmd+I thing, it’s sometimes nice to have control over all extensions…

Despite the fact I can almost guarantee a load of people following this reply stating otherwise…. NO- you don’t need it. Yes there are a few reports around, but ignore them.

Yeah you can- if you have FCS1, then you can sell FCS2 and upgrade from FCS1- FCS3. And upgrade is an upgrade, wether it’s from 1-3 or 2-3. Itd be like you just never has FCS2.

Ummm sorry but Snow leopard features Rosetta as an optional install…. What are guys on about? You CAN’T install snow leopard onto a G4 because it won’t let you, you CAN’T install FCP on specs which aren’t high enough because it won’t let you, and Rosetta is an optional install to allow you to run PPC apps…. But yes, a clean install may be worth it; Or uninstall the turbo software? Does it have an uninstaller/ tell you how to in a manual somewhere- it could perhaps be somehow messing with stuff…

Ummm how would he have even installed snow leopard onto a non intel iMac? The check is pretty inherent in the installer- same with FCP7 (although I’m aware you alter the installer package contents to stop it checking what kinda system ur trying to install it on to….

So does that mean then guys, that if (when) the day comes that final cut really DOES just work, and there is NEVER a situation where you need to actually know the technicalities of something because it literally works perfectly every time; that all you guys will have to give way to a younger generation of editors who don’t know technical stuff but can put together a story well?

Because what in noticing alis a little bit of “old skool” syndrome, like the guys who said “unless you know how to splice film together well and know the technicalities you can’t really edit…” then digital film, meaning it’s mainly on a computer, then OH NO adobe/ apple etc start making NLEs and everyone can do it….. But thankfully having a broad technical knowledge will help separate the cream a bit…. As well as obviously the ability to make a story well and know the intricacies of different effects why and when they work etc…. But they WILL eventually make something which renders a lot of it useless, meanin it doesn’t matter if you know “how” it works or anything because that knowledge won’t be useful… People will probably now argue that it’s a bit like Latin, you should know the roots of your language, but unfortunately there’s plenty of good English speaking people who don’t know it…
Don’t get me wrong, I get work frequently because I can edit AND know technical things which are helpful in a “pro” capacity, but it is inevitably going to be the case soon that it won’t help too much.

Ps to everyone who came on PURELY to complain about me posting at the wrong time, I didn’t know it was apples consumer quarter, sorry; how DARE I mention it…. Lol now go and either a)get a life or b)type something which is universally beneficial- I only started with that to get the ball rolling, I wasn’t really being a primadonna… Lol
