Can Motion 5 work as a "stand-alone" application without FCP X?

[Unggoy Murderer]

Hey there, this might be a silly question but does anyone know if I can use Motion 5 without installing Final Cut Pro X?

Thanks for your time =]

Yeah I'm certain you can. It's sold as a separate app so it should be fine.

Yes

Bought it yesterday (boy was the download sluggish) without FCP X and it works as advertised.

That's brilliant, thank you very much!

Here's a nice hands-on review should you need one.

(It's not mine.)

Run Software Update if you have installed Motion as they have a 1.15gb Motion Supplement and a 988kb ProApps Quicktime codec package (which installs if you also have FCP-x and/or Compressor).

Motion 5 on normal Macbook

Bought it yesterday (boy was the download sluggish) without FCP X and it works as advertised.

Hi, i have a Macbook and i was wondering if Motion 5 would run on my mac alone, and if yes how fast or slow??? Here are my stats:

2.26GHz Intel Duo Processor
3MB shared level 2 cache
2GB of 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM
250GB 5400-rpm Hard Drive
13.3 diagonal LED backlit glossy widescreen display; 1280 by 800 pixels
NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor with 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory.

It'll run, but you'll want more memory as it'll probably page out like crazy. It's def not an optimal machine.

That said, check the video card specs for the newer versions, last update or so broke older video cards.
