Arpeture and Final Cut Studio

[artdog]

After Effects and Lightroom run fine on my system so I assume Arpeture and Final Cut would run fine too. Unfortunately Apple's installer refuses to continue due to, what apple considers, a substandard graphics card. I am using the on board intel graphics.

Does anyone know a way to force the installers to continue after the hardware check?

You should really check the minimum specs on the Final Cut website.

You need a dedicated graphics card to run Final Cut Studio, my guess being that the software at some level takes advantage of the GPU. It won't install in an Apple product without a graphics chip.

Kills me because I would love to buy a Mac Mini with Final Cut, but since it uses the Intel on-board graphics, it won't work. Lowest end system you can buy for Final Cut is an iMac 20".

Or you could build a really good hackint0sh. If you can get the audio and graphics to work.
