can macbook cope with final cut?

[gadey]

Hi
i'm about to get delivery of a 2008 macbook, 160gb core2duo etc. I work in tv and need to practice techniques on final cut.
These will only be for rough edits, not going to air so what i wanted to know was:
Can the macbook cope with Final Cut Pro/Studio or should i get Express?

cheers

Probably but if you go to the Final Cut product page it will tell you the minimum spec needed.

Hi gadey me old mucker!!

Should have asked me this question....

I had Final Cut Express on the Macbook you bought from me. It worked fine for basic edits and even ingesting direct from a DVCAM deck via firewire.

I did a rough cut of the Norwich City end of season DVD on it last year and it was fine (apart from them getting relegated!).

Hope that helps

Noooooooo!!!!
i thought i'd asked what software it had on it!
You've cleaned it all up haven't you? WHat comes as standard? is it the iLife programs?
I would have enjoyed the Norwich cut too, being a long-suffering supporter - used to play in the youth team many years ago when they trained at Trowse.

cheers
