Thanks Jose and Steve, I bought the G5 with FCP 5 installed. The original disks were traded in by previous owner for universal version. It worked fine till I erased and installled Leopard then used drag and drop to reinstall FCP 5. I'm able to log and capture DV but very buggy now and no time line showing up. Gonna probably just buy new copy of FC Express. Thanks for help. JC --- Jose Nuno Pereira <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
