recently purchased a macbook 13 inch , and final cut doesnt work. Says i need a AGP graphics card... does the new macbook come with a graphics card or do i need to buy one? is my final cut acting up or what
 
nope. i think none of the programs like that actually work on intels... well thats what i've been told, or it could just be macbooks. but anyways you're just gonna have to wait around for final cut to be developed a little more

i found this for you on the apple website:

Also I am pretty sure all programs that ran on the old PowerPC chips will run on the new Intel chips, but they have to go through a layer of emulation, this leading to a hit in performance. But Final Cut does have a Universal binary so that means it can run natively on the intel machines.
 
That isn't anything to do with the emulation. Macbooks come with onboard integrated graphics. They don't have a graphics card. You can't have an AGP card for a macbook.
 
final cut should still work. Its just not "supported" by apple. Just make sure you have Final Cut 5.1 because that is the universal binary.
 
I figured it might have been a problem with the integrated graphics. I just stated the emulation stuff to say how its still possible to run older programs on the new intel machines
 
that shit is fucked. so i have final cut, and cant run it. FUCk. any otehr editing programs on mac so i can get my money back on final cut
 
^your computer should have come with imovie, which isnt anywhere as near as nice as final cut, but i guess its better than nothing...
 
Like I said, Final Cut should still run. I've seen it run on many macbooks before. Just make sure its version 5.1 because theres no way any previous versions will run.
