Did you re-install FCP after updating to Tiger? You really should re-install all pro-apps after an OS upgrade.

Well, Boomer I just listened to the whole thing while I’m working here and I have to say I’m pretty excited about the change. I was actually impressed that Steve brought up the non-existant 3Ghz G5 and the non-existant G5 Powerbook. I love a company that stands up and says “We didn’t deliver so we’re making a change to make sure that doesn’t happen again.”
Overall, I thought the entire thing was a great presentation and it makes me feel pretty good about where Apple is going.

[Olivier Jean] “Have you check if you use the import from Avid that it is spot on?
i’m putting a system as we speak and i’ll need the Automatic plug in to work ;-(
I have have as a back up plan for the customer a second internal ATa drive with
Panther and FCP 4.5 just in case the caca hits the fan ;-).”Do the import via FCP 4.5 on the Panther System and it should come in dead on accurate. So far in this first episode of the series I’ve had to slip a total of 4 shots about 5 frames each and those were in collapsed tracks from the AVID, which appear as nests in FCP.
Even if you’re just running Tiger with FCP 4.5, you don’t want to do the import on the Tiger System. That’s what I have running on this laptop, FCP 4.5 / Tiger. The timecodes were almost 45 seconds off.

[gary adcock] “SO Kids— do not try this at home or at the very least not on your working machine.”
Amen to that! That’s why I’m cutting this broadcast series (paying job) on FCP 4.5 with OS 10.3.8 and I’m cutting my own independent film on FCP 5.0 / Tiger.

[wildmangoose] “Does this mean though that I am going to have to buy a whole new system next year after I just spent money on a brand new one.”
Depends on what you’re doing. I have a G4 Dual 533 from three years ago still working fine with graphics and internet work. I have two G5 Dual 2.0’s running right now in production and those won’t be upgraded until some serious new machines come out.
If you feel you need a new machine next year, then yes, you’ll need to purchase a new machine.

you generally don’t replace internal parts on the Mac to upgrade. Generally the overall speed and stability of the system are designed with all the parts working together. Replace a processor and you could just end up with a very unstable system.
I replace entire computers. The only things I swap out are the PCI cards.

[David Robinson] “But existing software will not work. You will have to buy new software.”
Um, that’s not what Steve said on the stage. They are using something called Rosetta that allows all Mac apps to run on the Intel chips today.

Hmmm, just read the line about a 3.6Ghz machine available to developers. Now there’s a great thing to hear.
