macbook and FCP (people who own them)

[barnapkins]

[FONT=&quot]Does anybody have experience using final cut pro on a macbook (not pro)? I did a search and it seems like some people say yes it works, others say no and some say sometimes.

I ask because I plan on possible purchasing one soon. I would get the 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with maxed out ram (2 gig). Would the performance be better then my 1.25ghz G4 with 1 gig of ram (which I don’t have anymore)?

Thanks[/FONT]

Why wouldn't it work?

Because apple says it doesnt
"Final Cut Studio is not compatible with integrated Intel graphics processors"

Thats why i am asking, some peole claim it works, some say it doesnt. And im sure if you ask somebody at the apple store they would say no also.

I know people who edit HDV in FCP on regular Macbook's. You should be fine with that setup

i edit with fcp on my macbook pro so i amagine theres no problem for the macbooks either.

my wife's macbook, black one, 2.0 ghz with 1.25 of ram runs fcp flawless. i've even done a few small projects on it

FCP yes- Motion not so great. It's better than nothing if you want to run Final Cut but a MacBook Pro or a Mac Pro (even a G5 really) is much better suited.
