[Christopher Wright] “the rest of us are waiting for Apple to just keep up”
[Christopher Wright] “we expect”
[Christopher Wright] “the programs are “free””
[Christopher Wright] “”free” with FCP Studio”
[Christopher Wright] “Most of us just expect more”Forgive my brutal bluntness but as I read your post and quite frankly you come off sounding like a spoiled little kid whining and crying because mommy wont give him the toy he wants. You have quite an attitude of entitlement.
Thats what I loved about Walter’s post. He had a need for a BlueRay authoring and instead of whining and complaining because Apple has not given him a solution he went out and found a solution. He got the job done, still made a profit even though he had to buy additional equipment and software. Just because it was not an apple solution does not mean it is not a good solution.
Apple has made decisions about how they want to move the FCS along, and there are a lot of reasons they make the decisions they do. Russ named some of those reasons but there bottom line reason just like every other business is probably money. The cost to add some things to the studio bundle most likely outweighs the profit gain that those additions would bring.
I motto of mine (and yes even I at times have difficulty living buy) is if you can’t control it don’t complain about it. (now if you have control and things are not like you want them sure go ahead and complain because most likely it was your fault that its not the way you want.)

[Matt Callac] “I’ve used livetype in every one of the 200 or so projects that I have done over the past year.”
You and the few other people are the RARE exception. I see no need for Apple to cater to the 1% of people with FCS that actually use livetype, especially when livetype has been perfectly built into motion for years now.

Russ you are absolutely 100% correct here. I wish people would wipe off their whiny teary eyes read your post and this one from Walter https://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/8/1045400 and then get back to work.

[Russell Lasson] “As a note, LiveType is still included in Final Cut Express (probably where it belongs too).”
Amen I also think that is where it belongs.

[Steve Cohen] “We have 2 Intel octocore units that were purchased 1 in Early 2008 and the other in later 2008. Maybe the copy of Leopard that came with either of those would work. “
NOPE I thought I made it quote clear that they will not. These machines are NOT the same model of the machines that are currently being sold.
[Steve Cohen] “That is easier said then done. We will be moving to a new facility around November and they do not want to upgrade the 4th edit suite until we move.
So considering that Snow Leopard come on in September and we are moving in November then what ever we purchase at the time of the move will have Snow Leopard installed on it. “
Not only will a machine that you buy in Nov have Snow Leopard on it, this is also a chance that Apple will revise the MacPro line after Snow Leopard is released yet before you purchase. If that happens you will not be able to buy a new computer from Apple that will run Leopard.
If I were you I would explain to the powers that be that if you don’t get the machine before Snow Leopard comes out that there is a good chance that the machine will not be able to run the older OS.

The answer is it depends.
First off Snow leopard is not even out yet so any machine that you purchase now will NOT have Snow Leopard on it it will only have Leopard.
It will depend on the machine.
if the model of machine was released before Snow Leopard is released then you can run Leopard on it. BUT the tricky thing is you just cant use any copy of Leopard to install it with. The disks that come with machine are machine specific. So for example if you buy todays current MacPro after Snow Leopard is released you can run Leopard on it but to do so you will need to find someone that will let you use the disks that came with todays current MacPro purchased before Snow Leopard was released.
When a newer model MacPro is released after Snow Leopard that machine will require Snow Leopard more specifically it will require Snow Leopard from the disks that came with it because the build version of Snow Leopard that came with the machine will have been updated to include drivers for the new hardware. And drivers for the new hardware will NOT be included in an older OS like Leopard.
A retail Leopard disk will not work ether as those disks we designed to be used on computer that were released before leopard was and therefor they do NOT have drivers for any hardware that was released after Leopard was.
But because Snow Leopard will not be out for a couple of months now, simply buy your machine before Snow Leopard is released and you will be fine.
So yea it depends.

[Don Gaile] “Should I seperate the media into 3 drives and RAID them separately for better performance? “
YES
Never edit from your system drive.
Have one drive for they OS and Applications and then a completely separate RAID for your media storage.

Try trashing your compressor preference file and then try it again.
