sept 28: this morning i had a major panic attack: finally set up my new mac pro (with osx) and was excited to install final cut pro 6 and get on with editing “partition stories.” nothing doing. osx is too advanced for fcp 6, it wants fcp x. i have absolutely no wish to upgrade to fcp x (too expensive and too weird) so i began to explore online forums to see if i could find a way around this horrible problem. most people said no, there is no compatibility. but i didn’t give up. finally i found a guy who swore that if u use ur snow leopard (older os) disc to install “rosetta”, fcp 6 would run seamlessly. i did just that. found rosetta under “optional installs”. it took 10 seconds to download and voila, fcp 6 is now being installed on my computer! all the filmmakers out there, you too can do it if u want. we don’t have to follow apple’s dictatorial edicts. we are not helpless minions!
