Hey all, so snow leopard really fcsk'd up my Mac Pro (as well as my MBP, and my gf's MB, and her bosse's iMac and MB... :rolleyes: )

Final cut pro is being crazy, along with the rest of the machine. I feel it's reformat and reinstall time. I have a good time machine backup going.

I worry though, because my copy of FCS3 is on a volume license from a former employer (NOT a euphemism for piratebay :p ), and I won't be able to recover it if it's lost. Will the time machine restore put it all back okay?

I'm terrified of wiping it all, but at the same time I have a project due and need to make a decision asap. :eek:

If it isn't working now, what choice do you have? In "theory" migration assistant should restore a working version of Final Cut after the reformat.

But who in their right depends on such a critical application like FC without having the original copy on hand for times just like this? And why were you upgrading your OS in the middle of an editing project?
