[MacDV] FCP on intel Macs?

[David Gilbert]

Rodney,

Final Cut Pro (FCP) is a high-end digital video editing and  
compositing application (similar to Premiere on a PC). It is an Apple  
only application but is widely recognised as one of the best  
applications of its kind. I have never had a problem with it before.  
It is usually rock steady ( I can't ever recall having a crash since  
V1.0). Naturaally it concerns me that I am having to use iMovie to  
capture my clips at present. :-(.

Not sure if I answered your question.

Cheers
