FCP 5.1 Question

[Steve Shovlar]

Hi all, I am currently running FCP 5.04 on an Apple G5 Dual 2.5. 8 gig ram, If I upgrade to FCP 5.1 will I see any difference at all in rendering speed etc. Is there any benefit?

Are there any bugs that could cause problems with running this version on a G5 Dual 2.5?

thanks
Steve

I havent seen any problems yet with my Quad G5 - faster rendering on Intel Macs. A few fixes and enhancements tho.

OK so will I see any difference?

Steve,

Just worked on 5.1 with same setup, Dual 2.5. You won't notice anything different in terms of rendering speed, ect. The update itself doesn't contain new programming for those areas of the app.

OK Thanks Geoff. No need for me to get the updated version then.
cheers
Steve

If you are using a HVX200 - there are some major enhancements.

I have the PAL HVX200.
