Update it to 10.1.3 and everything will work (expect no backward compatibility)
I'm sure you can do your work at some of the computers at your school. Don't most school have macs with FCP?
I'm (very) in the real world, and we solely use Premiere inhouse, and require Premiere for any out-of-house jobs so we can work with the project files easily. Hasn't been an area of contention for anyone we've worked with, and we push BIG jobs.
Many of the big edit houses here in LA use Premiere. Sunset Edit, Milk, etc are all big Premiere houses.
Many seasoned editors, sports media and news organizations still use Avid, but honestly nobody uses FCP anymore. 10 is far too simplified and the interface is choppy on even the highest end Mac Pros, and FCP7 is far too old at this point - it can only address two 32-bit cores, 4GB of RAM, and limited if any GPU acceleration. This is why it crashes so damn often.
Premiere is cutting edge in terms of hardware support and on-the-fly transcoding of nearly all codecs, operates exactly like FCP7 and isn't absurdly expensive or complicated to train on. No reason not to use it over Avid unless you're doing a feature.
How exactly does one download Mavericks again? I know there are tons of torrents out there, but torrents are blocked on my campus, and I need to downgrade. Thanks
I you already downloaded Mavericks before in the App Store go to the purchased section and download it.
Why do you update a computer's OS as soon as it comes out when you depend on the computer for work or school?
Never ever, EVER update an operating system without checking compatibility with all of your apps. That can be done with a simple google search.
Now that we know the kid is running an illegal version, I think it's safe to say that he won't be posting again about problems.
Does Apple prevent you from reinstalling OS X Mavericks? If not I'm finding this all to be a little bit dramatic. I totally appreciate it sucks you can't run this app on OS X Yosemite, but let's not pretent there are no other options.
It's safe to say someone downloaded OS X Mavericks at some point if said person ran OS X Mavericks before. Even if your Mac shipped with OS X Mavericks and you never downloaded it yourself it's still added to your Apple ID.
well that and this:
combined with the fact that you've obviously got a pirated version of the software...yeah, it's kind of funny.
For future reference, I always backup before I do almost anything - especially a major update like this.
and i never ever ever push an update on release day or soon there after on a mission critical computer.
I decided to give it a go seeing as I still have time to roll back to Mavericks before I really need FCP.
10.1.2 opens up ok, not had chance to test it any further.
The thing with LA is that it's crowded and full of niches and cliques of production people that work in certain ways. In my universe over there, narrative projects are done on avid or fcp and premiere is mostly for one-man-bands that use the entire adobe suite to do different things. whatever floats your boat i guess.
personally, it took me hours just to figure out premiere and i loathe using it but i was cutting away in fcp x within minutes of downloading the app. its way more intuitive and eventually everything will move in that direction.
Current version is 10.1.3.
OP is obviously a dirty pirate that can't be bothered to pay for software that he NEEDS...
