#Final cut pro for mac os x 10.7.5 pro

Hi John, Yea, WOW that’s an original Intel Mac Pro 1,1 introduced in 2006 with 2 dual core CPUs. “I expect John has seen me in the Sony Vegas/Magic forum from time to time….

The downside to that is that it would no longer work on Fcp7.

One thing to be aware of though is that if you have any third party hardware such as a raid controller it may not run under El Capitan, and as I discovered, a replacement Highpoint Rocketraid, though good, will not work on anything earlier than Mountain lion, so that would be a problem for your Fcp7 installation.Īlso if you had a blackmagic card working in Fcp7 under Lion you would find that when booting into El Capitan the Card would require a firmware update for it to work. I tried it and gave up on it, but 10.3 is changed in many ways and is a great improvement on how things used to be. Personally I wouldn’t try to use that version of FcpX. As you have probably discovered FcpX looks for an AV device, (card) for external monitoring. As far as I’m aware there is no way of setting external monitoring without a card such as blackmagic or aja. FcpX 10.3 now has customisable workspaces which will allow you to set things up across two monitors. The 2008 3.1 and later will run Mac OS X El Capitan and the latest version of fcpx. It depends which model of Mac Pro you have. Have anyone found a cost effective solution for this as I am sure many people use these system. With FCP X there is no way to now send video out through Firewire but only at AV which clearly the Mac Tower does not have, and the Black magic card required to do this seem a bit pricey for what we do. With this setup we get a better prospective of how thing are looking On the old system we output via Firewire to a Canopus box which then connects to a large screen TV Via S-Video out from the Canopus box.

Ones screen is used for Timelines only as we use many multiple tracks and it does not seem possible to do this now which did seem a bit backward step but I guess it just caters for Laptops now. Whilst everything look great, it become clear that there are no floating windows as with FCP 7 ( we use dual screens ). It was mentioned that the FCP X is a much better platform to use so I hooked up a temporary HDD with a fresh OS and installed a trail version of FCP X 10.0.8 as I understand this it the highest version that will work on this Mac Pro. The current situation is that we use Final Cut pro 7 which does just about all we need. I am not a MAC user but I do help out with use of a Mac Pro Tower ( Intel Quad Xeon )
