Hi, I am getting a 2.2GHz MacBook with 1GB of RAM (which I am upgrading to 4GB) and I was wondering if I would be able to run Final Cut Pro on it, and will the RAM upgrade help?
Thanks in advance for the help!

The question was about Final Cut Pro, not Final Cut Studio. The issue with studio is Motion and Color.
MacWorld said:FCP 6 always felt solid and stable: in several days of testing on five machines, I never experienced a crash or lockup. Performance was consistently zippy on dual-G5 and faster Macs, and installation went smoothly. My biggest issue was the time it took to install the full nine-DVD, 55GB suite, and making room on a boot drive on my older G5s in order to do so. The system requirements are moderately steepyoull need a somewhat recent machine to run it: at least a 1.25GHz Power Mac G4 with AGP or PCIe graphics for standard-definition video. HD video requires even more CPU, GPU, and RAM.
Odd...

What is the difference between Final Cut Pro and Final Cut (whatever runs fine with intergrated graphics cards).

What exactly is it Motion and Color do?
Motion is for creating motion graphics, and Color is for color grading.
Sorry to go off subject dude.
Anyone know how Finalcut Pro is for chromakeying?
Can I still do some decently cool and impressive stuff with express?
Yes it will do quite a bit, I take it your not a serious editor so it will be great for you.
So i just read this entire thread.. can someone confirm that you can install FCP on a macbook???? what about FCS? From what I understand Colour and Motion will be braindead slow.. but the others (DVD Studio for one) will they run okay?
I guess I can just run FCE, with dvd studio??
Yes you can install FCP on a MacBook no problem It's just motion and Color that will not work on a MacBook. I am not sure about DVD Studio I would think it would be ok however I may be wrong.
