[MacDV] Final Cut Express - Arrived

[Shirley Kehr]

2 Days later - it's Here!

I ordered shortly after lunch on Tuesday and the Federal Express driver
came down my steps as I drove in from work today. That was the free
ground shipping too.

No mention of a QT Pro serial number and no mention that you need QT
Pro, to answer a question posed here earlier. However the readme says
you need QT 6.0.2 or later.

I'm already wondering what to do about specifying a scratch disk. Do I
really have to specify a different volume (or partition) if I'm just
going to import short clips for learning right now? I'll either get
bigger drives or a new G4 before doing any long projects.

There's a short install brochure, two sets of FCP Keyboard shortcut
stickers, a CD with the software, manual (750-page PDF) and a DVD from
DigitalFilm Tree titled Getting Started With Final Cut Express. I
suppose that has tutorials. (Amusingly, Apple suggests putting one of
the stickers with the serial number on the manual.)

I see I'm going to have to update my G4. FCE wants 10.2.2 and I've never
gone beyond the Jaguar CD.
