If not, I guess Ill have to have another hunt elsewhere for appropriate software (It doesn't have to be superb at editing, just good enough to start, stop maybe trim and export a file that I can then process in FCP7).

My question is, does the MR/PPC Community know of any older Video Editing Programs apart from Final Cut Pro 1/2, iMovie 2, or Strata VideoShop (This came with the 8600 as part of the original bundle, and I have the discs for this) that will run on the Classic Mac OS and on pre-G3 Macs, as it appears that FCP1 won't run on a 604 (It also requires FireWire, but I have a PCI Card for that and the appropriate System Extensions) - Im not opposed to upgrading to OS 9 if I have too (I like 7.5.5 on this machine personally, as it screams, but I don't think 7.5.5 supports FW).ĭoes anyone have an alternative (or know if FCP1/iMovie 2 will run, and thus its worth the pain of me digging for my original install discs). It is easy enough for beginners but robust enough for seasoned video editors to enjoy. PowerDirector - Best Overall PowerDirector is a free video editor for Chromebook with tons of powerful tools and effects. Its currently running OS 8.1 (Its a 8600/250 with 144MB RAM and 3GB HD Space - which is pretty nice spec for a 8600, and should be fine for VHS Importing), but I can upgrade that to any OS Version (I have the lot).

Okay, so today, because its cheaper than actually buying a Dongle to hook up a VCR to my Mac Pro, I received a PowerMac 8600/250 with the AV Capabilities.
