Any of you early adopters been able to install the universal binary Final Cut 5.1 on the new MacBook yet? I am sure that Motion won't work (it didn't work on the G4 mini or iBook), but FCP did. If it is a replacement for a 12" powerbook also, then it should be able to run FCP (or Aperture?).

If Final Cut works in a MacBook, then I will consolidate my Windows and Mac laptops into one with Boot Camp!

Oh, I'm sure it will run fine.

Yeah, but would it be able to run multi cam? If you check the specs it requires a dedicated graphics card, which the MB doesn't have. And Motion is a definite no no according to the Apple site.

Ah, Craig my dear, could you have waited any longer to post your 1st post? I never knew you were a member of this forum

I did hear reports that the Intel Mini can't run FCP - it wont even load aparently, so it looks like it possibly won't.

Apple now has a Knowledgebase article relating to this, similar to the one relating to the Mac Mini.

If you have a MacBook, the Final Cut Studio (Universal) crossgrade Installer does not prohibit you from installing the pro applications, but this configuration does not meet the minimum system requirements for Final Cut Studio.

See the Final Cut Studio system requirements for complete requirements.

Note: The integrated graphics processor in the MacBook does not permit float processing in Motion and will result in degraded performance and other issues in Motion and other Final Cut Studio applications.
