Does anyone know if it is or would be possible to run Final Cut Pro 7 in a VM with Fusion 12 and AMD eGPU? Up to now whenever I've tried to run FCP 7 in a VM I've always received the following error message: • Final Cut Pro requires that your system have 128 MB of VRAM; this system has only 0 MB of VRAM. • Final Cut Pro requires that your system have a Quartz Extreme capable video card. Would vmware Fusion 12 and following set up work? • 16" 2019 MacBook Pro (64GB RAM, 2.4Ghz) • AMD eGPU • Host: Big Sur running Fusion 12 • Guest: FCP 7 compatible OS such as Snow Leopard Server (10.6.8) through to Sierra (10.12.6) I don't own an eGPU so would need to buy one to test it but thought I'd ask in case anyone else has been successful or happens to have a similar set up? In case anyone's wondering why I want to do this, for me, FCP 7 still the best NLE in terms of actually editing with on a timeline for short form projects. Premiere is fantastic in that it doesn't require footage to be trans-coded but the UI and shortcuts aren't as well thought out or as detailed as FCP 7. FCPX has many great features but the again the most important one, interacting withe footage on the timeline just isn't as good. Long form AVID is great but for short form, I'm looking for a long term solution that would allow me to use FCP7 in a VM so that I don't need to hoard old hardware for the next 20 years or however long my working life continues. What will happen in the future - will M1 macs be able to run Mac OS X in a VM? I'm pretty new to using VMs so I hope my question is properly phrased. Maybe hoarding hardware is the best solution?
