Final Cut Pro 5 on MBP error

[milner007]

I'm running final cut pro 5 on my MBP
and when i go to view in the main viewer it says unrendered
I can view things in the the previewer window and even test mulitcam stuff
any ideas?

is it the PPC version? I believe you have to change the .plist file to accept PCIx instead of AGP. First I suggest you make a backup of the .plist (Apple+D)
Final Cut> Control+click> show package contents> contents> info.plist> open in TextEdit =

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
        <key>AELMinimumCPUSpeedSingle</key>
        <string>350</string>
        <key>AELMinimumOSVersion</key>
        <string>10.3.7</string>
        <key>AELMinimumQuickTimeVersion</key>
        <string>6.5.2</string>
        <key>AELMinimumRAMSize</key>
        <string>384</string>
        <key>AELRequiredCPUType</key>
        <string>G4</string>
        <key>AELRequiredIOPCIDevice</key>
        <string>[B]AGP[/B]</string>
        <key>AEPCopyFiles</key>
        <array>

Change that to PCI
Save
Reboot
Hopefully it will work then. Otherwise replace the modified .plist w/ the backup.

To the OP,
Does your footage match your sequence settings?

Kingsly,
IIRC, the fix you are thinking about is a workaround to make FCP 4.5 work on newer G5 towers that don't have AGP slots.

So, does FCP5 actually run ok on intel? I know its not universal yet but is it useable by modifying it to run?
