Hi people,

I have a question about stability, performance and else of other software, not implemented in Leopard. I mean something like Adobe products, Toast, Final Cut, Motion,...
How is it going on your computers? And what are your configurantions?

I am thinking to try it on comp, maybe upgrade hardware, if there is any chance to work stable in good performance in Final Cut and Motion. So I need to here your opinion. I would buy original mac, but as student, I cannot afford it. And need to practice and learn something new and more.

In my part-time job in studio I am working in FCP, at home I in Premiere and After Effects, and I definitely think, FCP is better (but I don't want to provoke and leads this discussion what soft is better ). And I would also like to learn Motion instead of After Effects.

Thank you. And what else to say...? Let's discus

All of the Adobe Products, as well as any third party applications that I have tried in the past were working.

I'm sorry, but I don't know about Final Cut or Motion, because I don't use them. But they should most likely work flawlessly as well, if your system is OSx86 compatible.

DoiX, Final Cut Studio 2 -> 4 GB of disk space is required to install all the applications (Final Cut Pro, Color, DVD Studio Pro, Soundtrack Pro, Motion, Cinema Tools, LiveType, Compressor, and Apple Qmaster), and an additional 55 GB is required to install all optional templates, content, and tutorials. ;-)

I can't vouch for FCP or Motion, but I've moved all of the apps I used on my G5 such as the Creative Suite, QuarkXPress etc, over to my hack and they all work and perform as expected. The migration, for me, has been fairly transparent. Performance has been fantastic which obviously makes me very happy.

The only program I've found a bit unstable on my system is Firefox - it crashes every few hours with the Divide by Zero error. Other than that no issues whatsoever running 3rd party apps
