    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.

Hello all,

I just have a quick question concerning Final Cut Express 4 and Snow Leopard. I've read that there has been a few problems with certain programs not running very well (or at all) on Snow Leopard, and I'm wondering if FCE 4 might be one of those programs. I ask because I want to purchase a new iMac and have FCE pre-installed onto the system. And before I do that, I want to make sure that it works on Snow Leopard. :)

Currently I'm a Windows user, but I desire to switch to Mac (irrelevant information I know, just thought I'd mention it) for video editing purposes and also to have a stress-free OS experience.

Thanks to all who respond!

I have used FCE a few times since upgrading to snow leopard, and haven't had any problems (I primarily use FCS2) - plus FCE is not shown on any lists that I'm aware of reflecting it being incompatible with snow leopard.

There is a major list you can find here: Snow Leopard Compatibility: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Compatibility List of software that has been found compatible or incompatible w/ SL. Most software suppliers that want their products to continue seem to have arranged to do updates for SL.
