Advice: Buying Used FCP
by Gary Chvatal on Sep 19, 2008 at 2:13:11 am

I have an opportunity to buy a FCP system and would like some advice.

First I want to say I'm not a FCP editor. Mostly use Windoze systems (now have a Vegas and used to use discrete edit). Not too familiar with Mac nor FCP but it could add flexibility and depth to my facility.

Its a G4 Silverfox 1Ghz with with 160gb internal storage, FCP, Motu 2408mk2, Matrox RT-Mac etc. System also includes associated audio hardware, video decks for I/O etc.

Since I'm not that familiar with FCP I wonder...will there be issues with transferring licenses? Will I be able to upgrade to newer versions of FCP when the need arises? Is the G4 still a viable platform or is it silly to even consider it?

What other issues should I consider to determine if its a reasonable system for purchase?
