I just saw as youtube video where a guy was talking about what he had on his macbook and he mentioned that he had final cut pro on it, which I saw. He also mentioned shake. I'm not sure if he had the whole final cut studio, but is this possible? I thought only Final Cut Express could run on it.

Final Cut STUDIO can repeat CAN be installed on a MacBook Pro. Minimally you need OS Tiger, 160 GB HD and 2 GB RAM plus 2.33 GHz. BUT: you ALSO need an external HD with 800 Firewire, size depending on how much you need to store. Install FCS on the INTERNAL HD and everything else related to it --media etc. on the external. Don't lodge FC and your media files together on your internal HD. Recommend a pro setting it up for you, if you're not an expert. Note: the fastter your grafix card, the better FCS runs.

@PIXANATOR the op was talking about a MacBook not the Pro model. Also My machine is a MBP CD 2.16 and Final Cut Studio runs very well.
 MBP 17" 2.16ghz, ATI x1600 256, 100GBHD, 2GB ram, 23"AppleLCD
