Will Logic 7.2 run on a G3 processor?

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev(a)lists.apple.com User-agent: Microsoft-Entourage/9.0.2509 Hi, I have not been able to get a definitive answer on this from anywhere else, so I hope that somebody can help! As I'm only using Logic for MIDI sequencing, will Logic (Express) 7.2 run OK on a G3 processor? It's all part of upgrading a 600mHz G3 iMac from OS 9.2.2 to OS10.4 I phoned Apple support here in the UK and I was told "Officially no, but unofficially it should work OK" - but was then pointed in the direction of this list as a source of confirmation! Many thanks, Robin Johnson _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

Digital Training & Designs How to create Subclips using markers: _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored. Pro-apps-dev mailing list (Pro-apps-dev(a)lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/pro-apps-dev/site_archiver%40lists.a… Mark, Here's my canned reply. It's how I teach it in class. It looks like a lot of work, but you'll find it goes pretty quickly once you get the hang of it. Just read through it a couple of times. You are actually making 'subclips', which work just like regular clips. (If the material is from DV source, you can skip the following section by using the Mark > DV Start/Stop Detect command. It will add the markers for you automatically, but it won't name them. To name a marker, use SHIFT-UP ARROW or SHIFT-DOWN ARROW to move to the marker, and then press the 'm' key as below. If the material is not DV, use the section below.) * Load the clip into the viewer window by double-clicking it * press 'Home' so you are at the start of the clip * add a marker by pressing the 'm' key * open the Edit Marker dialog box by pressing the 'm' key again * name the marker * click OK to dismiss the Edit Marker dialog box * you'll see a small marker at the beginning of the clip * move the playback head to where you want the next clip to start * add another marker by pressing the 'm' key * open the Edit Marker dialog box by pressing the 'm' key a second time * name the marker * click OK to close the dialog box * continue through the rest of the clip adding markers whenever you want to start a new clip and naming them as above You can move from one marker to the next by pressing the SHIFT + Up Arrow or SHIFT+ Down Arrow keys. When you are done adding markers, make a new bin: * make a new Bin to store the new clips you are about to make by pressing COMMAND-B * you should see a new untitled bin (folder) in the project window * name the new bin (folder) whatever makes sense to you Save your project. Now you can convert each marked section of the clip into a new, shorter clip: * in the browser window, locate your clip * click the small triangle just to the left of the clip name - you should see a list of all the markers you added * select all the markers listed under the clip - click on the first marker and then hold down the shift key and click on the last one * position the cursor over any one of the selected markers and hold down the mouse button and drag the marker over the new bin you created earlier * when the cursor is over the new bin you created, release the mouse button * when you release the mouse button, Final Cut will convert each marked area of the long 'master' clip into shorter 'subclips' * Click on the triangle next to the new bin you just dropped the clips into and you will see new clips named after the markers you created * the clips will have 'squiggly' edges on them to indicate they were part of a much longer clip (a subclip) * you can double click on 'subclip' and it will act as a regular clip - you can mark In and Out points, edit it onto the timeline, etc., just like a normal clip That's it. Once you get the hang of it, you can chop up a long clip in just a few minutes and it will be much easier to work with. I hope I don't make it sound harder than it is - once you've done it you're see that it really is pretty straightforward. This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

You can also use the viewer to set in and out points and drag the newly marked clip back into a bin. Instead of deleting anything, it just gives you a clip with preset ins and outs.

Move as appropriate, then in "Edit" select "Trim to selection" and then use "Save as" or "Export" to save the file. If you select one of those tools, you can use the arrow keys to move it frame by frame for fine grain control. I use this all the time to get rid of junk at the beginning or end of a file, but you can cut your file up any way you want. -- Mark Ratering A+, CCNP (248) 921-4679 _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
