As the diplomat Markus would say... "That statement has an aroma of inaccuracy". :D
FCP Studio certainly runs on MacBooks. The only potential issue is the different video card in the MacBook from the MacBook Pro. FCP Studio is made up of modules, so each module does its own tests for installation. For instance, if your video card isn't powerful enough to run "Motion", then the option to install Motion will be greyed out. You'll still be able to install the rest of the modules, Final Cut Pro, LiveType, Soundtrack Pro, etc. Aside from the video card, the other considerations are processor speed and memory on the board. It takes a certain speed to be able to edit HD, for instance, if that's the intended application. Also, you need to have more than the 512MB memory that comes standard with the lowest-priced MacBook. Basically, a MacBook ordered specifically to handle the requirements of FCP Studio will run it fine. Worst-case scenario, have your student buy an old MacBook and put FCP 3 or 4.5 on it. The added functionality of Studio isn't necessarily useful to a novice. -- Bill C. http://ReelSolidTV --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Scott Lockman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello, > > A student of mine relayed an interesting bit of information she was > told at an Apple Store in Tokyo while shopping for Final Cut Pro > recently.
