After a failed install my mac thinks I have final cut pro installed.

I tried installing Final Cut Studio and halfway through it I accidentally hit the cancel install button when it asked me for a disk to continue the install. No bid deal, I'll just run the install again, right? Wrong, the second time around it only gives me the option to "Upgrade" Final Cut Pro. So my comp thinks I have Final Cut Pro installed already. I used Appdelete to toss all of the half installed software, but apparently there must be something on my comp still because the installer only offers the upgrade. What do I do? Thanks everyone.

Look in Hard Drive/Library/Receipts.
Remove all .pkg files that refer to FCP.
Those files are the reason your computer thinks FCP is installed.

  • Does CC 2014 eliminate the need to have Final Cut Pro and/or Compressor installed to access Apple ProRes 422?

    Hello:
    Just today, I was working on a Mac system that does not have any of the applications that I would have expected to need to have installed in order to do more than just decompress movie files compressed with Apple ProRes 422.
    I was expecting to have to install Final Cut Studio 3, Final Cut Pro X, Compressor 4, and/or QuickTime 7 with the QuickTime Pro key; however, none of those applications are installed and I am able to create custom QuickTime Apple Pro Res422 Sequences in Premiere Pro as well as export using Apple ProRes 422.  After Effects and Adobe Media Encoder also show all the Apple ProRes variations.
    Does CC 2014 eliminate the need to have Final Cut Pro and/or Compressor installed to access Apple ProRes 422?  Is it something happening on the OS or QuickTime level that would affect CC or CS6 in the same way?
    I've done a web search, but haven't really come up with anything other than older articles about needing to have FCP installed (and I typically work on systems with Final Cut Studio 3 installed as well as CS6, CC, or CC 2014).  If more detailed information is available, it would be great to be able to read up on it.
    The system is a 21.5-inch iMac running Mac OS X 10.8.5, QuickTime Player 10.2, and Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 (8.0.0 - I know an update is available for PrPro, but it's not my system to make that change).
    Thanks in advance,
    Warren Heaton

    Hi Emil:
    I use ProRes all the time as well, but I have Final Cut Studio on my workstations.
    I had not come across MindPower009's YouTube video.  That explains how ProRes could be showing up without FCP or Compressor.
    So, the answer to my question would be, "No, CC 2014 does not eliminate the need to have Final Cut Pro and/or Compressor installed to access Apple ProRes 422; however, if you are willing to be in violation Apple's terms of use, you can install the ProRes codecs anyway."
    Even though MindPower009's YouTube video comments claim "FREE and LEGAL", it's clear from both the Apple download page and the ProRes codecs installer that Apple expects you to own at least one of their applications.
    Thanks again for the link!

  • I'm thinking of using Final Cut Pro to straighten slightly crooked footage and then re-import back to iMovie to complete the video. Does this have any impact on image quality?

    As your rotate the image, you will begin to see black edges. So, as Tom implies, the image must be scaled up to hide those voids. If you shot 4k ad are editing in a HD timeline, no problem, lots of room to spare. If you shot 1080 and are editing in a 1080 timeline, you will run into issues at a certain point. However, if your 1080 project is going to be transcoded to 720 or ye olde DVD you won't notice any deterioration at all.

    IIs there an export function from Lightroom? Did you export? Does the exported file contain your edit?
    THe hard drive file size doesn't matter. What matters is the image size, it's dimensions in pixels.
    IN FCP press Cmd-J to see the project properties.

  • How can I check to see if my version of QuickTime Pro 7.6.6 already has ProApps QuickTime Codecs installed? I also have Final Cut Pro 6. I'm asking because my computer can't seem to play ProRes 422 codec video without stuttering or skipping?

    I have a fairly capable MacBook Pro (2.93 GHzIntel Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory and a 1TB HD -5400 rpm, so I am hoping it's not that my computer that can't support it and it's something more simple like not have ProApps QuickTime codecs installed. Thanks in advance!

    If you can view a ProRes 4-2-2 video at all, then you either have the independent ProRes422 Playback component installed or the FCP "Pro" video components installed.

    Check your "~/Library/QuickTime" folder for your various "Pro" components. If in doubt that you have them all, re-run the FCP installer and it should add any missing components, apps, or utilities.

  • Would a 256 GB SSD on a 2012 Mac Mini significantly improve Final Cut Pro X Performance?

    Would a 256 GB SSD on a 2012 Mac Mini significantly improve Final Cut Pro X Performance?
    I'm considering a 2012 Mac Mini 2.6 Quad Core with 16 GB RAM and a 256 GB SSD with external Thunderbolt drives.
    I understand that Mavericks allocates 1GB VRAM from system memory in a 2012 Mini with 8GB RAM.

    It will only improve the read and write performance, and this is not as important as the processor and the GPU in Final Cut Pro.
    The Mac mini has got an integrated GPU that may work if you are a home user, but if you are a professional user, you should consider an iMac, a 15-inch MacBook Pro or a Mac Pro. You won't notice a big performance increase

  • Power mac g4 idvd and final cut pro 4

    i got a duel 1ghz upgraded power mac 1gh ram but it seems slow to run final cut pro 4 adobe premere 6.5 seems to run slow and crash alot on 10.4.9 and i keep dropping frames i never seemed to have these problems on my imac dv600mhz on os 9 years ago but i do know seems os x is like xp compaired to 9 or os 9 in terms of crashes is my system able to do final cut pro edit video and make idvd movies?

    I have a quad core i7 2,0 MiniServer. I bought it mainly for a file/print/web server but it does a great job running Compressor/Qmaster and FCP/DVDSP on occasion.
    FW800 has a 80mb/s limit. If you need more than that, you are headed to thunderbolt. For a bunch of reasons, I'd capture with ProRes if you are working through the Matrox.
    For simple capturing, it should work. The big caveat is 10.7 will not allow you to install FCS2 (no PPC installer support).

  • The best Mac laptop to use Final Cut Pro 4???

    I don't know much about Macs and I know even less about Mac laptops! Someone told me that the macbook (Intel based??) would be the best mac laptop to use with Final Cut Pro 4. Could someone tell me if this IS my best option or if I should be looking for a powerbook? What specs do I need to be looking for? I know that I need a G4 or higher, but the memory, speed, etc... I'm clueless about...

    Get a MacBookPro 17" and upgrade to FCP5.1
    You need the 17" to get the firewire 800 port - necessary if you want to edit anything more than DV or HDV.
    The upgrade from FCP4 to FCP5.1 is very inexpensive now (offer expires in mid December) and you would be very foolish to not do it.
    good luck.

    yes, this should have been posted in the FCP forum, but why clutter up two forums ...

  • Install Soundtrack Pro if already have Final Cut Pro Studio installed?

    Should I install Soundtrack Pro if I already have Final Cut Studio installed?

    EddyBoy_UK - I've got the most recent FCP Studio 2, with all the updates, yet the option was set to install Soundtrack pro.
    I guess I'll get on hold with Apple tech support. Like to ask them if they have a tech note on exactly which files get removed during an install with Logic 7 & Jam Packs already installed.

  • Mac App store and Final Cut Pro X can a single Apple account purchase 3 separate copies of Final Cut X? Also how do we allow our editors to update FCPX, but not have access to the credit card?

    I work for a medium sized compand 400+ people. We have a 3 person video crew. How does our company start an Apple account that will allow us to purchase three separate copies of Final Cut Pro X, but not allow us access Credit Card info, but still allows us to update purchased software? Surely Apple cators to small businesses needing multiple lisences. I appreciate any feedback, thanks!

    I would assume that since your company has a video department, it probably also has an IT department.   Have them set up the needed account(s) and download from the App Store for you.
    You should also contact Apple about a mulit-seat licensing arrangement, but those usually involve 25 seats or more.
    Apple doesn't really cater to small businesses ... or any business group in particular.  They primarily cater to the consumer market.

  • Will Final Cut Pro X transfer to a new Mac?

    I'm thinking about purchasing Final Cut Pro X in the next few weeks, but I also plan to replace my computer by the end of the year. If I download the app onto my current mac, will I also be able to install it on my new Mac when I get it?

    Yes...
    The Final Cut Pro X license agreement states that you are granted a limited non-exclusive license to install and use the Apple Software only on Apple-branded computers that you own or control in accordance with the Mac App Store Product Usage Rules located at http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/ww/ ("Mac Usage Rules"). Except as permitted under the Mac Usage Rules, you may not distribute or make the Apple Software available over a network where it could be used by multiple devices at the same time.
