ProRes 444, Firewire, MBP

Hello,

Quick one.

Will I be able to cut ProRess 444 footage on my 2008 MBP, Dual 2.53Ghz, 4Gb RAM, over a Firewire 800 connected to a standard 72000rpm external drive?

Yes. Probably better to offline on a lighter codec and then reconnect to the PR444. But you could pull it off native, maybe not well, but passable.

I suppose we'll have to suck it and see.

Thanks

No problems here for one stream of PR444 on FW800.

I'd be optimistic. With only a slightly faster model, I encounter no problem. Multiple streams would require a different approach.
