ALso, does the install of FCPX destroy DCP Studio 7.03 at all?
bunches, Mac OS X (10.6.4), too many macs
To answer the thread title, it works without a hitch.
To answer the question in the body of your message, all the FCS 2009 apps are moved to a folder named Final Cut Studio, inside the Applcations folder. They can co-exist with FCPX peacefully.
Excellent info Nick. Appreciated.
Do I understand that we should 'not' install 10.6.8 if we wish to keep using FCP Studio 7.03? Aren't there woes with that combination?
I haven't seen any bad reports about 10.6.8 and FCS 2009 yet. Do you have a source that claims to have issues?
Saw some posts like this "10.6.8 upgrade killed digital out in FCP pro 7" and "It was widely reported here over the past few days to avoid this update if you are sticking with FCP7".
And "According to new posts today at Adobe the latest Snow Leopard 10.6.8 update has apparently broken Premiere's Mercury Playback Engine running on NVidia's Cuda cards. So, be careful." "
"A creative cow motion forum item from Stephen Smith seems to indicate this, which would
invalidate all Motion 4 workflows with legacy versions of FCP installed on the same partitiion
under Snow Leopard 10.6.8."
Lastly, "It seems that the update kills all media files with Media 100 codec - they play BLACK in Quicktime and cause bad video frame errors within Media 100 Suite 1.6.3 - other quicktime codecs seem to be okay."
But I dont know whether it is dangerous for us here or not. Perplexed whether to go to 10.6.8 or just 10.6.7
I'm running 7.03 on two systems with 10.6.8. Not having any problems, both systems connecting to Matrox output cards.
Whenever you are upgrading, always make a clone of your system disk first so that you have a safety net in case you get unexpected results.

Excellent help Meg.Thank you.
Is 10.6.7 OK with FCP studio 7.03?
