Suddenly I can't run my Final Cut Studio Programs-why?

All of a sudden when I try to run any of my Final Cut Studio applications I get the following: PROTECTION ERROR...CANNOT CONTINUE..ANOTHER APPLICATION WITH IDENTICAL SERIAL # RUNNING ON ANOTHER COMPUTER ON YOUR NETWORK.
Alas, I'm not on a network and there are no other programs running. So what can I do to set the Tiger's brain straight?

By running Disc Utility, I found a number of permissions were in need of repair. Repairing them fixed the problem.

  • ¿can I run a Final Cut 5 or 6.0.6 in a MacBook Pro i5?

    ¿can I run a Final Cut 5 or 6.0.6 in a MacBook Pro i5?

    Since 5.1 was the first version compatible with Intel Macs, the 5.0 version won't work.  But the 6.0 version should be fine.

  • Does new MacBookPro 13" (Apr2010) run all Final Cut Studio applications?

    Does the new MacBookPro 13" (April 2010) run all Final Cut Studio applications, and reasonably well?
    I've looked at the FCS specs, CPU, RAM and hard disc minimums are more than satisfied with the MBP 13".
    Now that the 13" has a discreet Nvidia (albeit sharing memory with main RAM) graphics card, that requirement is also satisfied.
    The Color app needs a screen resolution of at least 1680x1050: Is this really a hard requirement?
    i.e. will the Color app exit with an error message saying not supported at this resolution or will it work but with less space for items in its user interface? For example Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 used to say minimum resolutions but I can run it on my Toshiba NB100 netbook at 1024x600 just fine. (BTW as an aside even this 200pound netbook has an eSATA port!)
    Also I intend to use an external 23" 1920x1080 screen plugged into the MBP13" a lot of the time at home.
    Also what about the Core 2 Duo on the 13" versus the i5 dual core hyperthreaded = 4 threads or i7 quad core = 8 threads on the new (Apr2010) 15" and 17" MBPs.
    I intend to capture from solid state flash card, so dropped frames due to slow(is) internal 5400rpm non-raid hard drive capturing from real time playout of tape is not an issue.
    Where would I notice the difference in speed? Where would the MBP 13" run noticeably slower compared with the new 15" and 17"?
    I would expect the entry 2.4Ghz 13" Apr2010 model to run FCS/FCP reasonably well, given that people have coped with this sort of spec in the past.
    As long as editing works reasonably smoothly on the 13" MPB, e.g. I can go backwards and forwards through my work, preview multiple tracks/effects (at lower resolution, if necessary - by using RTExtreme feature with ProRes422Proxy) and then leave it render to maximum high quality overnight, then I would be happy.
    The smaller size of the 13" and lower cost make it more attractive to gain a more rounded cross platform skillset by entering into the Mac scene and for future opportunities requiring those skills.
    The benefits buying a higher end notebook diminish against cost and increasing screen size (more to carry around), also that only the cumbersome (IMHO) 17" has ExpressCard34 for SATA input.

    Thanks for your quick response and for the reassurance, my responses back...

    What sorts of things did you want to work on?

    Music videos, small projects to start with. I've come from working with Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 on Windows XP on a 30minute documentary that took 18months part and fulltime to produce with 3 staff (http://www.youtube.com/mediamotioninvision for a clip of it). I feel the next level up would be to work with what many professionals are using: Final Cut Studio, as I was told at Cannes Film Festival in 2009. So to progress my craft I want to develop the skillset of the professionals.
    {quote:title=NLEdit wrote:}
    You also have to consider the i/o issue. How will you get footage in and out of the machine to an external drive and from a firewire camera if you go that route?
    {quote}
    Many film/video cameras, both low end/entry level consumer prosumer and higher end professional are recording onto solid state flash memory cards, e.g. SD. So transferring from that into the notebook is straightforward. This used to be more of an issue with tape-based cameras, as the footage transfer was real time and dropped frames could occur if the host recieving notebook could not handle the amount of data be sent from the camera, e.g due to slow hard drive/bus.
    That said, even though solid state media eliminates the problem of dropped frames due to real time transfer of tape, it is a profound crying shame of a misguided decision that Apple decided to omit the ExpressCard34 interface (and therefore block high-speed eSATA/RAID hard drive options) from the 'Pro' range of 13" and 15" MacBookPros and reserve it for the 17", when the equivalent Windows notebooks have this for half the price.
    So I'm reluctant to invest more money in a higher spec machine 1) because of limited budget 2) but also the higher spec 15" appears to be sadly unbalanced in that there is up to quad core of processing power etc but a lacking in external interfaces i.e. maximum of FireWire 800 for connecting external drives to. More better in my view to spend just enough on a 'sketch' grade notebook, for learning on and reasonable performance and benefit from the smaller size and cost.
    Playback, previewing while editing the work may be a little compromised owing to the throughput of the internal harddrive, but, from my reading, I understand that RTExtreme and ProRes422Proxy technologies can help this situation of limited hard drive bandwidth/transfer rate whereby lower bitrates are used combined with reduction in preview quality to allow smoother playback. That is acceptable to me as long as I can get a good idea of how it looks. I intend to leave it running overnight to do the final maximum high quality render.

  • Why Can't I Install Final Cut Studio?

    I have a MacBook Pro which is about 12 months old. It has a 2.66GHz Intel Core i7 Processor and 8G of RAM. I have been trying to install Final Cut Studio 5.1. Yeah I know that is an OLLLLLLLLLLLD version. Why I chose not to update is neither here nor there. I was about to update when Final Cut Pro X was realeaded and FCS vanished into the ether. I really only wanted DVD Pro but when that wouldn't install I went back to Square 1.
    The specificationa as stated are:- "These discs contain the files required to install Final Cut Studio 5.1 on either PPC or Intel based Mac computers."
    The error message that shows up on the screen when I click on the install package is:- "You can't open the application Final Cut Studio pro.mpkg because Power PC applucations are no longer supported."
    This is despite the stated specifications and the fact that there is a Universal Icon on the discs.
    I am also having a simillar but not the same problem with iLife '06 but i'll start another thread on that.
    I'm confused, thanks for your help in advance.

    Your problem is you are running Lion as your OS (10.7) and Lion does not support Rosetta which is required to run the INSTALLER of FCS 2. If you were running Snow Leopard, you would have been able to do the install.

  • Can Remote Desktop install Final Cut Studio?

    Hi,
    I'm planning a large rollout of Final Cut Studio 3 to a network of 36 MacPro's. I use Apple Remote Desktop to install as much as possible, but I've never been able to install Final Cut using ARD due to it being a multi-disc installer and requiring the serial number during the install. The best I've been able to do is push installer disk images out to the computers, then run the installer manually on each via screen sharing. Not horrible, but a lot more time consuming than it should be.
    I don't see anything in the Final Cut Studio installer on using ARD, but I thought I'd check here.
    Thanks,
    Mitch

    Thanks. My method thus far is similar. I image each disc to a folder, then put the discs away (pretty much standard procedure for any install really). Remote Desktop lets you push the image files out to all computers simultaneously - freakishly fast using multicast networking. The image files are then local to each machine. I'll then sit at the admin station, and using Remote Desktop's screen sharing jump between each computer starting the installer and pasting the serial number. When done, I trash the installer image files from the local computers.
    I've played with imaging full systems, but I always think of "one last thing" that needs to be done to configure then I'm back imaging again.
    Most applications that use the pkg/mpkg installer format install great over Remote Desktop. Even some that have serial number entry during install have workarounds (Filemaker lets you create a plist containing the serial for example). Even Adobe has come around with CS4, not using the standard format but packaging their multi-disc installer with configuration info for simple network installs.

  • Can I get Authorised Final Cut Studio 7

    Hi, I'm a media student and I often work with video editing projects. Now own an iMac with OS X 10.9.5.
    For edits, Final Cut Studio 7 seems more comfortable than FCP X. Can I get an Authorised version of 7 anyway? I'm not interested in FCP X

    1) What Meg said.
    2) Did you ever try FCP X, I mean actually use it? It may look unfamiliar at first, but don't dismiss it out of hand. There is a free trial, fully functional for 30 days. I bet that if you really use it (and learn its ways, instead of trying to force it be like FCP 7), you will soon find that going back to FCP 7 is painful. Many people here share this experience...
    Plus, there is no guarantee as to how long FCP 7 will keep working on current systems (though it appears it still works in Yosemite). It is dead, and has been for over 3 years now. Oh, and sealed boxes containing Final Cut Studio 3 currently go on ebay by somewhat more than what FCP X costs.

  • Can I upgrade to Final Cut Studio 7 if my last version is also an upgrade??

    I upgraded to Final Cut Pro 4.5 with a version that was for upgrading to FCP 4 from either version 1, 2 or 3.
    I no longer have the previous version, just the FCP 4 box/discs and the "upgrade" authorization code on the sticker it came on.
    I see that there's an upgrade to Final Cut Studio 7 for around $300 from any previous non-academic version...but what about if the last version is an upgrade too?? It IS the FULL FCP 4.5.
    Am I eligible for this discounted upgrade to FC Studio 7? Has anyone done exactly this?
    Thank you for any solid info/experience on this you may have!

    This problem brings up another associated question.
    Is it possible to extract from the app/computer the original Retail Serial Number?
    With my Final Cut Express 4.0.1 I simply go to HD>Library>Application Support>ProApps and open the FCE System ID in TextEdit in order to have my original FCE 1.0.1 revealed. (The upgrade number of course is displayed on the splash screen and also "About FCE").
    However, opening the FCS System ID or the ProAppsSystemID does not reveal any serial number . . . . though my FCS3 is a Full Retail Version. Maybe if it was an upgrade, it might?
    Being able to access and save the original reg would be useful for anyone who has lost it since upgrading.
    It must be stored somewhere, unless when it was originally installed the computer just registered that it had a suitable number and did not save the specific one.

  • Hello.  Can I install a Final Cut Studio 3 Upgrade package using a serial number from an old Final Cut Studio 1 package?

    I would like to install Final Cut Studio 7 on my Macbook Pro (2012).
    I may be able to get an upgrade package, which will mean I need a previous version of Final Cut Studio to install it.  I have an old Macbook with Final Cut Studio 1 on it.  Could I use the serial number from that version of Final Cut Studio to activate the new upgrade on a new computer?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Thank you Jim.

  • HT5103 how many computers can I run my final cut pro x on?

    I have several computers....one iMac and one Mac Book Pro that I want to run final cut pro on....do I have to have two copies?
    Mahalo,

    You can run it on all the computers you own, though this does not apply to pro studios using teams of editors.
    Simply copy the FCP X app to the other computers just as you would copy any other file.

    why is this better than rosetta?  I've done the rosetta thing for a few people and it's pretty simple...
    ANSWER:
    I have come to the conclusion that the Installer app is NOT written in PowerPC, but otherwise has a bug that triggers the "PowerPC apps..." dialog box in Lion and Mt. Lion.
    While you and others have attempted to install Rosetta from a Mac OS X Snow Leopard Install DVD into Lion or Mt. Lion, I am convinced that it only works to side-step this bug and allow the installer to complete the installation.
    Think about it: if you can install Rosetta into Lion or Mt. Lion and get a PowerPC installer app to work, why doesn't that installation of Rosetta work for any of the hundreds of other PowerPC apps (and indeed they fail when launced to run in Lion or Mt. Lion with Rosetta installed)? 
    The conclusion is simple: the FCS2 installer app is NOT PowerPC and installing Rosetta into Lion or Mt. Lion will fail to gain any use of Rosetta on either platform.
    So, you might respond, but if the simple installation of Rosetta into Lion or Mt. Lion fixes the bug and allows the installer app to function, why not?
    The answer is more complicated: I am now reading posts on this and other forums of DANGER later on down that road.  People who earlier installed Rosetta into their Lion computers are now reporting all sorts of otherwise unexplainable crashes, freezes, etc.!
    There are two DANGER-FREE ways to install this program:
    1`.  Use Terminal as suggested above but described in more detail by Jeremy Johnstone on his blog (and be sure to read Aric's June 4, 2012 comment): http://www.jeremyjohnstone.com/blog/2012-03-11-installing-final-cut-pro-studio-2 -0-on-mac-os-x-10-7-lion.html; or
    2.  Use Pacifist http://www.charlessoft.com/
    DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL ROSETTA INTO LION OR MOUNTAIN LION!

  • Can I not install Final Cut Studio 2 on my new Mac Mini?

    I just purchased a new Mac Mini - it's time to retire my G5 Power Mac.
    FCS 2.0 is unverisal - so why can I not loan the software..???

    I am having a major problem, I have an old mac purchased 7 years ago and my hard drive got problems but is still working, I got a new mac having OS X system, I have final cut pro 6 and I installed it on the new os X but it didn't work, I also used the conversion method mentioned on the net in order to work on final cut pro x because final cut pro 6 is not supported on OS X, with the conversion the final cut pro X was only able to read the original tapes but was not able to read the edited material, am really stuck and I need help, can someone recommend a helpful solution? when i went to mac technical support office they said that for old macs we can only offer to change the hard drive and RAM and replacing the old hard drive for OS with a new hard drive does not gaurantee that final cut pro 6 will work also, and if something later on doesn't work in the old mac OS we can not fix it or replace it because apple does not provide any other spare parts besides the RAM and hard drive.

  • Where can I down load Final cut studio?

    All i see to down load are updates and final cut x. I dont want x i want 7. It would also be great it I could fined a custermer suport number to call but the liks just take me to apples suport.

    As Nick stated, you can't download FCP 7 (or FCS).  Even worse, Apple discontinued the product in June, 2011.  Look for a used copy online at sites like ebay.

  • Can I use the Final Cut Studio Audio Library in a Monetized Youtube Video?

    Hi All!
    I would like to use some of the sound effects (Explosions, etc.) and a few musical loops (of a trumpet) within a soundscape in a monetized youtube video. Do I have the rights to use these sounds?
    How would I fight a copyright claim if one arose?
    Thanks for your help, everyone.
    - Nick

    Apple grants you the rights to use audio clips in their library as long as you do not sell the clips alone. That is, you can use an explostion sound in a video as an effect but you can not market the explosion sound effect alone.
    Information regarding licensing an allowed use of Apple Loops in FCP used to be located in the ProApps area of the EULA web pages. It appears to be gone now that FCP is discontinued.
    Here's a link that may be useful.

  • Image Chnages Hue when loaded into any Final Cut Studio Program.

    I am having problems with the coloring of this image.
    I has been giving me problems for like 2 hours now.
    I wanted to do all the photoshop work at home before work but every way i convert it. (TIF, JPG, RAW, PSD)
    I will open it in normal photo programs it looks fine, but when I
    open it in any program associated with finalcut it changes the hue of
    the image.
    The forest green becomes almost black, and the lime green becomes
    neon toxic green.
    It weird.
    It happens on both of my computers.
    Any Suggestions.

    Photo data needs a color profile designated for the program to interpret and display the color space information accurately on the screen. It sounds like the color profile you are using in Photoshop is not the one being used in FCP.
    In Photoshop,
    Make sure the images are RGB (not CMYK).
    See what color profile is attached to the image. On the menu bar: Photoshop>Color Settings
    What's the Working Spaces RGB color profile? Something like Adobe RGB 1998 yields consistent results.
    Good luck.
