Final Cut Pro HD

[DonkeyTron]

Very dissapointed because whenever I try to open Final Cut Pro HD an error message comes up saying "

Configuration error

This software requires certain hardware or software which is missing.

• AGP graphics card.


I have an iMac G5 17" 1.9 Ghz, version just before the new intel ones.
Do these computer just not come with an "AGP graphics card?" Where can I get one if that is so? What is an "AGP graphics card?"



Hopefully some body could help me out.

Navigate to the App in your Applications folder, right (Control) click on the app and choose Show Package Contents. Then open the Contents folder, find info.plist and open it. Find the line that says

<string>AGP</sting>

and change it to

<string>PCI</string>

NOTE: You will need TextWrangler to open the .plist file.

You will have to do this for the other Apps bundled with it too IE: Compressor.

Hi
I'm having the same problem. Do i change the '<string>AGP</string>' to '<string>PCI</string>' on LiveType, Soundtrack, Cinema Tools, Comressor and on Final Cut Pro?
Thanks

FCP only I think. If the other apps give the same message then change them too

To answer the question posed above newer Macs have PCI Express graphics cards/chips. This is better than AGP.

Keep in mind that FCP will not install on the new Intel iMacs

Thank you, its the iMac that came out before the intel ones

Do i just need to change the ACP to PCI on the Final Cut Pro using text wranger then save the package contents file with PCI now typed in?

Thanks

Yup, just change the string, save, and FCP will run.
