I know immediately that people are going to say "Duhh look at the System Requirements, it says it needs an 'Intel Processor' "
But having just purchased FCS3 for my Intel machine, I discovered according to the 'Get Info' tab, Final Cut 7 and all the other FCS3 apps are 'Universal'.
Screenshot here:
I loaded up FCP using 'Rosetta' and it said that FCP7 requires a G5 processor, and you have a G4. Don't know why it said that, but it seems to suggest FCP7 will work on a G5.
Again screenshot here:
The Info PList file in FCP7 which most people use to hack FCP to work on machines that don't meet requirements by default has the G4 500mhz as a minimum processor.
Unfortunately i don't have any PowerPC machines to hand to test whether a PowerPC will actually load the app.
Does anyone actually know for sure?
