FCP 7 HELP! on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion?Posted by jaysync555
Hi,
Short version:_ can i run FCP7 on this > [www.jigsaw24.com] ? I'm also tracking this at the cow [forums.creativecow.net] i just presume one of you guys have gone through setting up and running a recent macbook with FCP 7 . . I have £1500-£2000 budget for a new macbook pro but need/want to be able to carry on using FCP. i'm upgrading my 2010 macbook pro to a new 2013 model, and i'll be installing the most recent version of FCP i can get my hands on - 7. The information i have managed to gleen from googling is often contradictory, some report FCP 7/7.3, FCS3 working on Lion, others not - and to varying degrees. 1- will it work with the 10.8 mountain lion OS, can you run FCP 7 on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion? 2- will i be able to open and edit my FCP 6.2 files in FCP7 on my new 2013 macbook pro? I have critical work in FCP 6.2 project files that i need to be able to open and continue working on in FCP on a new macbook pro. I am also not yet ready to switch full-time to Premier for clients or personal projects, with 13yrs experience in FCP. I also presume i'm not the only laptop-upgrading FCP editor concerned with this. The up-shot again being that i have up to £2000 to spend on a new or refurbed mackbook pro with which i want/need to be able to use FCP with, at least initially, to wrap up previous archives and projects. Any advise on my decision from anyone really appreciated, Cheers, Jay Or more crucially perhaps - what is the last macbook pro/OS combo that does/did except and run FCP7/FCS3??
Yes, FCP7 runs fine on Mountain Lion. I'm not sure about the Retina MacBook Pro, but I have FCP7 on my laptop which is a NOT a Retina Macbook Pro, and I'm running the latest 10.8.3 so it's fine.

I just checked and it quits also.
I can't even update 4 for some estrange reason. I am still on the original version. Good thing I still use FC7 with Motion 3. God Bless, Douglas Villalba director/cinematographer/editor Miami, Florida [www.DouglasVillalba.info] [www.youtube.com] [vimeo.com]
