Install Final Cut Pro/Studio on Macbook

Some of you may have facing some problem when installing Final Cut Pro on older Macbook white, yes the Final Cut Pro require us to have 128 MB of VRAM - As many of you know already, in many cases Apple's 'requirements' (and installer checks) for OS's, Apps, etc. are steeper than what the software will actualy run on (although not all features may work, or performance may be poor on some hardware).

The FCS 3 Install requirements lists "ATI or NVIDIA graphics processor (integrated Intel graphics processors not supported)" and "128MB of VRAM". They also list a higher minimum res (1280x800) display recommendation than FCS2 did (1024x768 min). And there's higher "requirements" listed for some apps like Color.

I copied the entire installation disk to my hard drive and deleted the installation check file from the FinalCutPro.mpkg file. (right click/"show package contents", etc.), and then go to "Content" - "Resources" and rename "Requirement Checker" file. Then the installer ran normally. After it was installed, I had to open up the applications' packages and change the "MRCheckPro.bundle" from the respective Contents/Resources folders (this is slightly different from older versions) with the one from here.

I should note that many newer Macbooks have more than 64MB shared VRAM, so people may not have to jump through these hoops on those models.

By the way, my experience with FCS 2 on this Macbook was that "almost" everything ran perfectly -- there were one or two filters (like "Bloom") that wouldn't render, but other than that, it was virtually indistinguishable from a Macbook Pro (and I should mention I have seen Mac Pros that couldn't render the Bloom filter either). I suspect this version will be similar...

Ok, have a great ministry with your Macbook.
