FCPX Installation and System requirements
I am wanting to trial the FCPX software. I have FCS currently installed.
My Macpro is a 2007 model with the following spec
- 2 x 3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon (is this 64bit?)
- Graphics - ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512 MB
- 16 GB RAM
- OS X Lion 10.7.3
- Will this fit the bill. Seems like it will although I am not sure if dual core = 2 Duo
- The install reccomendations are to install onto a separate partion on the startup disk. Can I partition the existing startup disk without cloning etc etc. ie just drag the handle in the partition section in the disk utility to the required capacity. I presume it would be reccomended to at least backup the startup disk? My start up disk is 750 GB with 569GB free.
- What size would the partition need to be for FCPX and should I make it big enough for when I install other apps?
- Would it be advisable to instal the trial version on a separate partition?
- I also note the following comment on the install reccomendations at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4722#
- Does this mean that all applications should be installed in a partition separate to where the OS resides?
- I assume that the FCPX data can be specified to be stored on any of my other disks?
Thanks in advance.
