Mac OS X: IS Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 compatible with Mac OS 10.6 SL?
IS Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 compatible with Mac OS 10.6 SL?
by Herenow33 - 10/19/09 11:21 AMI have a G4 which is getting pretty glitchy - and has recently stopped recognizing my external drives. So, I'm looking to buy a new mac and found a Mac Pro that looks like a good deal, but it has Snow Leopard installed as the OS. I am running FCP 5.1.4 on my G4 which has Tiger OS on it. If I do a direct copy from the G4 hard drives to the Mac Pro - will FCP 5.1.4 run properly?
Sorry if this is an obvious answer, but I can't seem to find anything that answers this elsewhere. Thanks.

there are probably a few other parts of FCP that you will need to copy as well.
Why not just use the installation disks and have it installed correctly.
I will almost certainly run on Snow Leopard

It may run, but will it be stable?

Ur best bet (if you have a budget) is to upgrade to FCS 3, with FCP7 and all the rest. It works great in snow leopard and has much improved...,well, everything!
Short answer is no

I ended up partitioning my drive and going back to Leopard for FCP (spending $1300 for new FCS 3 was not an option). Works fine again. My most repeatable problem was that my Canon XL-H1 absolutely refused to connect in HDV mode, but there were other weird glitches and crashes.
FYI I'm running an Intel iMac Core 2 Duo 2.16 with 3 megs of Ram and yes I did a clean install of Snow Leopard and reinstall of FCP from legit discs.
