Re: Final Cut Pro 7 on a PowerPC

The current and new FXPlug plugins do work, you can see one of the new ones in use on my FCP screenshot above, and though i haven't actually tested them, the new ProRes Quicktime plugin is 'Universal', though i will have a go at that tomorrow on a G5 to see how it performs.

I suppose the point i'm trying to make is that the new features work on PowerPC machines, so there must have been some conscious effort to make them PowerPC compatible, so why isn't the software officially PowerPC compatible? Did Apple just say 'na lets not bother testing it even though we've spent time making new features that work on PowerPC' . I'd just like an explanation really.

And like i said above, FCS2 is still good software, BUT we can't run a dual economy. We want to upgrade our Intel machines to FCS3 to take advantage of new features, but we can't leave our PowerPC machines on older versions, they'd be useless to us.
