System Requirements
Our tests have shown that Red Giant products perform best when used with the system configurations listed below. Although many of our products will run on older or less-powerful systems, the configurations listed below are the minimum system requirements for which we will provide technical support.
Apple Macintosh
Mac OS X 10.5.8
Mac OS X 10.6 - 10.6.8
Mac OS X 10.7.2 and later
Mac Intel system
2 GB of RAM
45 MB of hard drive space
Note: Please assure that you have enough space to accomodate transcoded files. ProRes files can take up many gigabytes of space, typically requiring 4-7 times as much space as the original H264 encoded files. This means a flash card with 4 GB of files might take up to 30 GB of storage in ProRes format.
PC / Windows
Currently Magic Bullet Grinder does not support any Windows Operating System.
Host Applications
Magic Bullet Grinder runs in a variety of host applications. Each purchase and serial number allows the owner to use the product on more than one host application but only on a single computer at any one time. Except where noted, the features are the same in all systems and host applications.
