fcp3 - tiger

Does FCP3 run on Tiger? Somebody I'm working with is having problems with this - connecting to deck/camera in log and capture.

FCP 3.0.4 does run on Tiger. If your friend upgraded with FW devices attached to his Mac then tell him to un hook them and re install Tiger and Quicktime

Hi Chris,

I have this from one of my posters.

I hope this helps some of you like myself who are having similar issues with
Tiger and Camera Recognition

I was just walked through a repair procedure by an Apple Care person, and it
fixed my camera recognition problems (I have a Canon XL1 and sometime after
installing Tiger, then 10.4.1, various patches (including Quicktime 7.1) and
the latest Desktop Video patch, I've been unable to use the camera with Final
Cut Express, and attempts to capture would result in a FCE crash).

The workaround is to download Quicktime *manually*, after removing the
"receipts" which indicate that it is loaded. Specifically, I was told to do
the following:

1. Navigate to Library -> Receipts on your main drive (not from your personal
folder).

2. Remove all files of the form QuickTime*.pkg, where "*" is a version number.
E.g. QuickTime600.pkg, QuickTime650.pkg, Quicktime700.pkg and
QuickTime701.pkg. This simply tells your system that those packages are not
installed.

3. Go to [www.apple.com] and click on the "download
Quicktime" link. DO NOT USE THE AUTOMATIC UPDATE UTILITY. Download
QuickTimeInstallerX.dmg. Double click this file (probably on your desktop) and
then invoke the installer by double clicking QuickTime701.pkg.

4. After your computer reboots, you should be able to restart FCE and see your
camera.

I hope this works for you as well as it does for me. The Apple tech said this
was the first case he'd seen for FCE, but that over the last couple of days,
he'd had success with it for several FCP users."

I keep forgetting that one. Might save you the re-install.

Ken...can you get permission from whom ever posted that for a Tip/trick O the week. I'm pretty sure its here on lafcpug somewhere but just dont know where.
