About Final Cut Studio?

In Apple Final Cut Studio are you able to create Blends & Avatars in Apple Final Cut Studio, like if I Had a Picture of Britney Spears or Jennifer Lopez, I Can create a Blend & Avatar if I Had a Picture of them I Saved on the Internet? Can I Do that in Apple Final Cut Studio? just asking cause I Mite be getting it, Maybe?

Ok, this is Photoshop Elements (make sure it's a Mac version if you buy it on ebay):
http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshopel/?promoid=DJDWS
It is very inexpensive. Also make sure you get the latest version so it'll work on your 10.6.5.
Final Cut Studio is a video editing software - you edit movies, not pictures. So I don't think you can do what you want in creating an Avatar. As for blend, you'd probably need one of the more expensive Photoshop versions.
So, Final Cut Studio is for movies and Photoshop is for pictures or photos.
I just checked the recent prices for Final Cut Studio on ebay and the latest version has been selling for more than $500; the cheaper ones are either old versions (which will probably not run on your 10.6.5) or upgrades. For an upgrade, you need to have an older version already installed. Here is what the new FCS includes:

  • Question about Final Cut Studio 3/Final Cut Pro 7

    Last year I bought Final Cut Studio 2 and got a student discount.
    I was thinking about upgrading to Final Cut Studio 3, but I saw a post that said you can't upgrade if you have the academic version. First of all, is this true, and secondly how can I tell if I have the academic version?
    If I can't upgrade, I can't afford to buy the whole package again. And surely I should have been informed of this! But can I edit a project on Final Cut Pro 6 and then work on it on Final Cut Studio 7, and back again? I presume not, but it's worth asking because I'm pretty much screwed if not and I can't get the upgrade.
    Thanks

    I want to upgrade because the macs at uni have upgraded, and I don't live near the uni I attend so it isn't practical for me to stay in their edit suites till late like everybody else does. I only bought the mac and final cut studio last year for this reason! So I prefer to edit from 2 machines: Mine, when I can, and the ones at uni when I'm collaborating with the 'crew'.
    However, I cannot see academic version written anywhere. And I know this is going to make me sound even more stupid than I already do, but I can't remember if I got the student discount on Final Cut, or whether it was just on the mac. Does anyone know where I should be looking. I've checked the 'about final cut pro' details and looked through the packaging (and my emails for the receipt) but I cannot see anything.
    Thanks

  • Help Me about Final Cut Studio Upgrade.

    I'm a student studied Editing in KOREA.
    I had used Final Cut Studio 5.1 now.
    and I wanted to upgrade FCP Studio 7. so I bought Final Cut Studio Upgrade 7 last week.
    And then I tried to installed, and I sucessed upgrade once. but it was not perpectly.
    So I re-installed from beginning(FCPS 5.1) yesterday.
    But now I can upgrade to FCPS 7 from FCPS 5.1.
    Because It said "My serial number is not vaild." again and again.
    (so I did format my mac book pro. and I installed from beginning, Mac OS X, iLife, iWork...FCPS 5.1. But I have same problem."
    I can't understand this situation. and I don't know the solution.
    I'm sorry to no support line about software in KOREA. T.T
    I need your help!!!!!!!

    If your 5.1 version was an academic version, it is not eligible for upgrade.
    But you say that the upgrade installed once, but not "perpectly" (whatever that means). Specifically, what went wrong with the first install?
    By the way, you don't need to have the older version on your computer to install an upgrade; all you need is the serial number from a legal RETAIL copy. If you own a legal retail copy (not academic) and are still having installation problems, contact Apple.

    Hello!
    I have two questions:
    1. How do I find all the updates to the final cut studio? Last came out before the final cut pro x came out.
    2. Works Motion 5 good up to final cut pro 7? Will there by any problem to use both prorammene against each other? And if so, what kind of problem can arise?
    I would be grateful if someone could tell me this because I had settings alert Motion 4 (which now crashes at startup). And considering buying Motion 5 for I will not have to be automatically installed again my whole system that works one hundred percent. The job I would rather not do.
    I'm not so good English so I hope you understand what I mean.
    Can any help me for this little crisis I have a lot of work left and wait. :-(

    This I have done to run instaleringen the entire final cut studio re-enter. Ran software product update. Have checked the final cut pro and then I have version 7 and version7.0.3 as I had before.
    Before this, I have thrown the preference files for Motion 4, but disk utility to repair permissions on the system drive, I have not used.
    But how can a fjærne entire final cut studio package also put it in again so we have aclean new installation of the programs?
    How can we explain that this has happened? Just what I do not understand.
    Are happy for all the tips I get. For I dread to put reindeer speakers the whole thing sinceit worked so well as it did before this happened.
    Thanks to all who will help me. I will be very happy if this can be solved in an easymanner without having to spend a whole day on automatically installed everythingagain.

  • About Apple Final Cut Studio 3 HD Full Retail?

    I'm Bidding on ebay.com on Apple Final Cut Studio 3 HD Full Retail & I Wanted to know how many CD's are in Apple Final Cut Studio 3 HD is this a long Continuing Process to Install?

    There is no such thing as Final Cut Studio 3 HD.
    I believe the official name is Final Cut Studio 2009. The HD has not been included since FCP 4.5 and only referred to FCP.
    Make sure you know what you are getting. Someone here recently was sold FCP 5.0 as the latest version of Final Cut Studio on eBay.
    As to the number of discs, there are a lot, but the best install procedure is to make DMG backups of your DVDs, mount them all at once, and install. Takes about 20 minutes once you've made the DMGs.

  • Question About Installing Individual Programs in Final Cut Studio 2

    I recently installed Final Cut Studio 2, but I chose not to install Livetype on the initial setup. Now I would like to install it, but was curious why it seems to be installing all the information from the other programs I installed last week. Only Livetype was available on the "Custom Install" screen, it was blue and checked. Everything else was greyed out, but still checked. However, it seems to be repeating the same install process I did previously; and I am curious if this is going to create any redundancies on my computer. Any help?

    Thank you for your quick response David!
    1. Great! Glad that worked out.
    2. When I say FCS 2 I mean the suite that came with Final Cut Pro 6, DVD Studio Pro 4, Motion 3, LiveType 2, Soundtrack Pro 2, Color, Compressor 3. I'm pretty sure it will play nicely with a new intel machine.  
    When I say FCS HD I mean the suite that came with Final Cut Pro (5.1.4), DVD Studio Pro, Motion 2, and Soundtrack Pro, and Compressor 2. This version (5.1) was made to work with intel machines.
    3. Thank you also for providing the link! I definitely want to make sure this is legal. 
    Much appreciated

  • In Thailand and thinking about ordering Final Cut Studio 5.1 NEED ADVICE

    I own a 2006 Power Book G4 notebook. The computer has a 1.5 GHz processor, 1.25 GBDDR SDRAM memory, and 80GB HD. I have enjoyed using iMovie but am ready to give my podcasts a more profesional look. Can my computer operate Final Cut Studio 5.1? If it can not is there an older version that would work?
    Thanks you,
    earthworm envy
    Power Book G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   processor 1.5 GHz memory 1.25 hardrive 80GB

    your powerbook may not be the latest and greatest but it is certainly good enough. version 5.1 is "universal" meaning it will work on both PPC macs (like yours) and the newer intel based macs. go for it.

  • About to buy Final Cut Studio 2 OR Final Cut Express

    Hey everyone, sorry if this has been threaded to death but i'm too lazy to search for it.
    So I've worked with Final Cut before, FCP4 and FCE, I am definitely confident I can work with it without being TOO overwhelmed. The college i'm going to for mass communications definitely works with macs with FCP so it will def be an advantage to owning it now.
    So my main concern is will my macbook pro c2d 2.16 with only 1 gb of ram memory (i bought it in may of this year) be able to run the entire final cut studio 2 without much sluggishness or requirement problems? Also i know i need a lot of hdd space (ive got like 60 gigs left) so i know an alternative drive will be required. but aside from this, is anyone running their FCP on a similar mac? thanks!

    Hi Guys,
    Motion needs RAM to work properly, at lest 4GB of RAM for some kind of acceptable performance.
    I tested Color on my MacbookPro (2GB RAM) and surprisingly it was working fine despite the monitor resolution isn't the one officially required (Serious color grading require an HD monitor anyway!).
    Austino,
    Installing FCP6 and DVDstudioPro would be a good starting point for you to let your basic editing work get going.
    I totally agree with Studio X,
    You need an external hard drive to use as your scratch disk.
    A G Tech *G-RAID 2* could be an option or Caldigit drives
    Take a look:

  • Please, suggestion about final cut x, dvd studio pro, sound track and color

    what to do now, final cut studio cannot exist in same partition of fc x, but at same time fcx does not have anymore dvd studio pro, color and soundtrack, is it replacing the 3 programs? are you really satisfied of it?

    Try building the project to your desktop and then open the Video_TS in the Mac DVD player application.
    How does it play/sound?  This application is the best way to see and hear how your burned DVD should play vs. just using simulator and burning.
    Just to clarify- are you taking your FC QT file into Compressor and creating a MPG-2 and AC3 file or are you bringing your FC QT directly into DSP?
    What codec are you exporting from FC? ProRes422, DV, H264?
    Open the FC QT in QT and apple+I to see this.
    What does it say for audio?

  • 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.

  • "Motion 4" icon greyed out after upgrading to Yosemite - Did Yosemite break "Motion 4" in Final Cut Studio?

    Against my better judgement (now that Apple has turned into Microsoft 10 years ago, breaking apps with every OS update, followed by radio silence from Apple, pretending like they didn't do anything), I just upgraded from Mountain Lion to Yosemite and noticed that my Motion 4 icon is now greyed out. Thanks Apple.
    I still do the majority of my work in Final Cut Pro 7, with many, many, Motion 4 projects embedded in the timeline (so that I can change them in Motion and have them seamlessly updated in my Final Cut Pro project), including an unfinished feature length documentary on gay and lesbian history from 2000 BC until 1900 AD. Should I just throw the entire film into the rubbish bin? I would presume that Motion 5.1.2 is incompatible with Final Cut 7? So what am I supposed to do now?
    1 - Downgrade to Mountain Lion (or heck, why not Snow Leopard?)?
    2 - Switch to Adobe Premiere?
    3 - All of the above?
    Thanks (for nothing, Apple).
    MacBook Pro 15" with Retina Display

    8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB

    After some peacefull time my system crashed completely on Friday!
    I installed all from Scratch to make sure its not some old stuff that I carried on during migration.
    It's not a problem with the motion files as I deleted all of them and XML export is still crashing!
    The situation is, that after installing it all I got the same quicktime translation error again and I am quite angry about how Apple handles clients who are working on projects with the recent FCP story.
    Unfortunately due to the problems in exporting XML I am not even able to switch to Adobe Premier as this is the only way to import there.
    After a lot of testing I am quite sure, that this issue has to do something with an Apple Update release between June 2011 and now.
    Conclusion: Final Cut Studio II is not working correctly anymore as it did before June 2011!!! Apple, Please fix this issue asap.!!!!

  • General Overview on How to use Final Cut Studio to create a Blu-Ray DVD

    I am a new user of Final Cut Studio and need an experienced user to give my a progression guide on how to create a Blu-Ray DVD of my recent Alaska Trip. Last month I spend 8 days in Alaska visiting Denali and Juneau primarily. During that time I took about 100 short video clips (HD 1080p) and 570+ still photos with my Canon 7D. I have experimented with some pieces of the software and have created a Blu-Ray disk using Final Cut Pro and Compressor. However my goal is to create this DVD with menus that will play short clips (some narrated) and still photos(also some narration). I did a short one in DVD Studio Pro this morning but need some general guidance on what progression and programs to use to create this project. I was not able to take my video from the Studio Pro Sequence I created for my 1st DVD I had to take the original clips which were processed using Apple ProRes 422 and copy them in one at a time and then find the audio (on the voice overs) I created and also place them into DVD Studio Pro one at a time. I obviously need some guidance on the proper progression.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Here's the situation...
    DVD Studio Pro will not do the trick for you - it doesn't do blu-ray discs. If you want to do Blu-ray you've got to use either Final Cut Pro's "Export" command or Compressor's "Burn Blu-ray disc" template. The downside to both of these approaches is that you can't burn more than one title (or movie, etc.) using Final Cut Studio.
    To do what you want to do, you need Toast (at least). Toast will auto-generate menus but will let you put more than one title per slide (so you can put multiple slideshows on the same disc).
    If you want to do full-on customizing of menus and multi-level menus, for that you need Adobe's Encore.
    My suggestion - Get Toast. Encore is close to $800.
    Here's your progression (at least the one I use).
    Edit in Final Cut Pro (ProRes 422 is fine, ProRes 422 LT would do the trick as well)
    Export as QuickTime movies (original settings)
    In Compressor using the H.264 for Blu-ray setting and Dolby Digital setting and create elementary streams for video (.264 file) and audio (.ac3). Make sure these files have identical names except for the extension.
    Using toast, add the video file to the Toast project and it'll find the audio file.
    Burn away!
