what the hell is this thing is says i need it for final cut, its like 200 bucks and i dont want to pay it.  did anyone else have a similar problem?  NS come to my rescue
 
AGP is the type of port that AGP graphics card are pt into. There is also PCI and PCI-E. AGP is second best of the three, and the most common.
 
if you pop open your computer, you will see the sound card, video card etc. most of these are in long white ports (PCI), but the AGP bus is the smaller black one. this is for high end graphics cards, although it is already starting to become outdated. I wouldn't recommend getting any type of PC mod if you're not comfortable rearranging your computer, let alone a graphics card. but if you do, make sure you have unused power supply cables, and that your motherboard actually has an AGP slot.
 
ok . . . so basically i had the same problem, you dont need to buy a new chip or anything dont stress!

SO when you have final cut pro on your desktop as just an icon crtl click on the icon. Got to "Show Package Contents".

in that folder click "Contents".

There will be a document called "info.plist"

crtl click "info.plist" open with TEXT EDIT!!!

from here everything seem complicated but its easy, about 15 line it says : AGP change AGP so it says PCI, save the file and your good to go!!!

if this doesnt help lemme know
 
the thing is if your running a new Mac in my case i have a MacBook, they dont run on AGP graphics card, they run on PCI express . . . i had to find this out the hard way it took me like 3 weeks to figure out how to run FCP HD, but do what i told you and it will work
