TICKET ARCHIVE -> Final Cut Express HD for iMac

fernandos1 - Feb 15, 2008 - 10:13 am

Hi, I have an intel iMac (20 inch, 1.8Ghz processor). I have outgrown iMovie and wanted to know if I could install FCE in it. I thought that I read on the forums that you have to have a separate video card for FCE and that iMacs are not compatible with it.

Thanks,

FG
