| |  Looking for Final Cut Pro and Some Advice
Does anyone here own a copy of Final Cut Pro that they'd be willing to sell me? Doesn't matter if it's new or used (as long as it works of course ^_^), but it'd have to be shipped to the US, and I'm willing to pay for shipping costs.
Also, a bit of a more technical question: would it be practical to use Final Cut Pro on an Apple laptop (i.e. would it have enough memory to work with the program), or am I gonna need a desktop? Because that would be unfortunate if I did....
Thanks all.  |

Not sure yet, but how would it work with the cheapest MacBook, 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo, 512 megs memory, 60 gig hardrive? There are more specs listed here |

I am not a fcp user but I should think that it would work fine. Drive space may be an issue so you may need some f wire external storge if this is to be your main computer.

hiya mate,
i was looking at the macbook pro and was talking to a guy in apple who said that you need a minimum of a 256mb gfx card to run final cut pro so the new macbook range wont do. Hope this helps in some way. Go for the 15.4" 256mb gfx macbook pro and u should be ok!
im still saving up for mine!
