Has any one tried using Final Cut Express 3 on an Intel Mac?
I see that the specs. do not mention anything about Intel so I was wondering if anyone has ever tried it, if it worked and how well it worked.
Thanks.

Not sure which one you mean then, but for 3.5, I actually have it open and am doing some editing right now. Thus far, it seems to be running perfectly, other than my lack of knowledge on how to use it. Although I know when exporting something, it takes a loooooong time, but I'm blaming that on a mere 1.66GHz Dual-core.

Although it might be compatible, do yourself a favor and buy the upgrade. The 3.0 version would be super slow. Hardly worth using.

So, you are saying 3.0 WILL run on the Intel Macs, even though the documentations states it is only for G4 and G5?

Minimum Hardware Requirements
• A Macintosh computer with a 500 megahertz (MHz) or faster PowerPC G4 or G5 processor (550 MHz for PowerBook G4, 450 MHz for dual-processor Power Mac G4 or G5) and an AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) graphics card compatible with Quartz Extreme

Your Mac's Specs
iMac Intel 20", 2.0 GHz BlacBook
Someone else correct me if I am wrong, but 3.0 should run under Rosetta, but it will be slow. Like G4 slow.
