Are there good reasons to upgrade to FCE version 4?

Hi, I am currently using FCE 3.5.1 I'm thinking that it just might be time to upgrade. Are there some really good reasons to upgrade to Version 4? Does 4 come bundled with LiveType 2.1, or does it at least have animated type options? Most importantly, in the audio realm, does it actually allow you to hear audio filers (such as an equalizer) in real time as you tweak them? If not, do you know if Final Cut Pro has substantially better audio features than FCE?
I appreciate your input. Bob

"Can you do that on 3.5?"
Yes. What format is the media you're using? There is no way you should have to render an EQ on a MacPro unless you have a lot of tracks. In which case, push up the number of realtime tracks in user preferences. Normal drives should be able to handle 24 tracks in realtime. The tracks count adds in effects as well as a track each.
What kind of animated text do you want? Title 3D and Title Crawl can be animated.
Apple has never sold a pro app upgrade via download. Only updates are available via download. It has never sold recent versions of FCE separately from LiveType, or LiveType separately from Final Cut. It has always been a bundled application and has never been available as a download. Do you have a torrent copy of the application?

  • Are there any problems with upgrading to FCE 3.5?

    Hello,
    I am upgrading from FCE 3.0 to FCE 3.5 and was wondering if doing this will affect the currently unfinished project I have on my external HD.
    I am aware of the free download to get once 3.5 is installed, on the apple website, but beyond this, will I be able to start working on my project again right away?
    Thanks!

    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Al,
    Assuming the 10.4.9 upgrade was where my problem began - inability to capture video, video device not recognized, I have tried every fix on this and several other forums at least once. I upgraded to FCE HD 3.5, then 3.5.1, upgraded QT. Nada. I have tried things with 2 different Firewire cables which do enable me to import images from my digital still camera.
    Today I did an Archive and Install, reinstalling Tiger and the 10.4.8 Combo update. Trashed QT receipts, reinstalled QT up to 7.1.5, Trashed FCE prefs, reinstalled FCE 3.5 and 3.5.1 update. Repairing permissions and restarting between each install.
    Capture Scratch is in my second internal hard drive (not in the one with operating system). I've also put Capture Scratch in Spotlight and repeatedly tried disconnecting every device, shutting down and rebooting with Sony DCR TRV950 attached to rear firewire port and turned on in VTR mode.
    On another forum they suggested resetting the SMU on my Power Mac G5, which I did. They also suggested checking System Profiler to see if the original 10.4.9 upgrade had caused the computer to lose track of the Firewire Bus.
    No matter what I do - and, afraid that it must be me, that I must be doing SOMETHING wrong - I get the same error messages over and over. "Unable to initialize video..." "AV unknown" (in Capture Now mode), "No communication", etc.
    I see that my Sony DCR TRV950 is not on the compatible with FCE 3.5 list, but people on the forum say that it's not a comprehensive list.
    When I go in System Profiler, and click on Firewire Bus, I get the following info: "FW Bus: max speed up to 800 mp/sec". Should there be an actual device listed? If so, is its absence likely the problem and what is the fix? Also, why can my Canon camera with firewire connection bring material into iPhoto but this DV camera connection can't be seen by FCE?
    Thanks for your help,

  • Are there any known issues upgrading to 10.8.3 from 10.7.5 with Parallels Desktop already installed in 10.7.5?

    Are there any known issues upgrading to 10.8.3 from 10.7.5 with Parallels Desktop already installed in 10.7.5?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Most of the applications compatible with Lion are also compatible with Mountain Lion, so you shouldn't have any problem. Mountain Lion supports the latest update for Parallels 7 and 8, so if you haven't got one of these versions, you should upgrade it before upgrading Mac OS X. That application uses extensions, so it may cause kernel panics

  • I have aperture 3.4.4, which does not work with Yosemite. Is there a way to upgrade my Aperture version, or do I have to buy Aperture again?

    I have aperture 3.4.4, which does not work with Yosemite. Is there a way to upgrade my Aperture version, or do I have to buy Aperture again?

    If you own any version of Aperture 3, you are entitled to a free update. Only it can be tricky, if your version is not associated with your AppleID, because you bought it with a serial number.
    Have you checked, if you can see an update at the App Store Updates page? Or an "Accept" button on the Purchases tab of the app Store?
    Contact the AppStore Support and request a redeem code, to be able to buy the update for free. You will need to provide a proof op purchase of Aperture.
    Use this link: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/
    Apple sent redeem codes for Aperture 3.6 to several users who had bought the version on disks, if they could provide a serial number.  See for example this discussion: (The post marked as the solution)
    Re: Aperture update not possible after update to Yosemite
    It is really unfortunate you missed the window of opportunity with Mavericks MacOS X 10.9.5, when the update was easy.

  • TS1717 are there problems with iTunes upgrading from Vista to Windows 7?

    are ther problems upgrading iTunes from Vista to Windows 7?

    The best method is to use Windows Easy Transfer first to backup all your data, and do custom clean install. And install all your apps and drivers afterwards.
    Yes it should work. Make sure you are ready, and have all the latest drivers and applications ahead of time.
    There are some "gottchas" with the upgrade from Vista.

  • PSE 8 some photos will not autoimport when creating an photobook and block the whole sequence. Are there knows reasons why individual photos can hang the import? Thanks Michael

    When creating photobooks with PSE 8 I find occasionally that certain photos block the autoimport function and none of the sequence are loaded into the new photobook. Using the identical setting to create a photobook other sequences of photos work perfectly. The photos have been checked and found and all are connected and recognised. Are there knows issues with some photo formats which will not autoimport when creating a photobook?
    Thanks for the help.

    Sometimes LR can be "nudged" into showing folder relationships which better match the file system, by using the "show parent folder" command. When existing folders appear as if they were "top level" in the drive, we can see a more or less virtual picture of the situation, rather than anything real. So newly added folders can sometimes present themselves as if independent of what is already there.
    By forcing LR to show a fuller hierarchy of folders, more attention gets paid to the actual arrangement - so new and existing folders should "wake up" and thereafter appear more reliably in the right relationships.

  • Are there any effects on IQ if LVM version is changed due to H/W issue ?

    Dear all,
    IQ15.2
    OS : HP
    I have a customer who has a plan to apply a patch of LVM due to H/W issue.
    Ct asked me that there are any effects on IQ when changing a version of LVM from 0903 to 1209.
    [H/W Issue]
    Table 1 LVM Fixes in HP-UX 11i v3 September 2012 Release
    In a cluster with 3 or more nodes, when VG recovery is in progress for at
    least 5 VGs on each node following a previous server node crash, one or
    more nodes may get TOC'ed by SG.
    On the TOC'ed node, most of the lvmkd daemons will have the following
    stack trace:

  • Is there an option to upgrade a student version of Acrobat Pro?

    I am looking at buying a student copy of Adobe Acrobat Pro XI but don't want to do that if a new version is coming out this year and then end up paying for it again. Is there an option to upgrade from one student version to another student version? I would really like to purchase the software as soon as possible.

    Consider a subscription.

  • I want Next/Back links between topics. Are there good examples how to do this?

    I also have multiple books in which I want to have Next/Back buttons. The Help PDF offered by Adobe does not adequately describe how to do this. Does anyone have a good example/description of how I do this?
    Walt Mahan

    Hi again
    To access the link I listed, you just click it in your web browser.
    There are a few different ways you can do this. You can insert the text as you wish to see it, then manually create the links. Ick! That's not very much fun.
    If you are using RoboHelp 8  you could create a Master Page and insert a Breadcrumb Trails placeholder, then apply the Master Page across the topics.
    For any version of RoboHelp you could achieve this by creating a Browse Sequence (Tools > Browse Sequence Editor) and generate WebHelp twice. The first pass to folder A and the second pass to folder B. During the first pass, you use the "Traditional - No skin" output. This would produce topics with code in them that contains the Previous and Next links. Then the second pass would be generated with a skin. You would then copy the topics from folder A and overwrite the topics in folder B to obtain the best of both worlds.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Are there specific reasons for choosing Oracle A/S 10g OVER IBM Websphere ?

    Our company runs a number of Oracle applications and currently supports both the IBM Websphere and Oracle
    10g A/S application servers. We use Oracle A/S to run Oracle Forms/Reports, as
    well as to interface from Oracle Advanced Queues (A/Q) to the outside world
    (with JMS over A/Q). The idea being floated is to use Oracle A/S only for our
    Forms/Reports server and IBM Websphere for everything else. Is there any
    downside to this ?
    Is there anything Oracle A/S can do that IBM Websphere cannot ?
    Would any features of Oracle A/Q not be accessible when using WebSphere ?
    We are also planning to use Oracle Workflow. Would there be any advantages to using Oracle A/S over Websphere ?

    'Fraid I'm not experienced in running Oracle products with Websphere but I'd have thought that the most obvious reason to use OAS would be that (theoretically at least!) AQ and Oracle Workflow should be better integrated into OAS and also recieve better support from Oracle if you are using OAS as your apps server rather than another vendor's product. The risk is that you might get into a situation where something doesn't work and Oracle say it's Websphere, phone IBM and IBM say it's AQ - phone Oracle.

  • Are there any ways to upgrade the graphics card on a sony vaio laptop?

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Pretty much if you have to ask, the answer is no.
    For those laptops that allow it (and "Sony Vaio" isn't specific enough to determine this, an exact model number and current configuration would be needed.), it's usually a difficult and expensive procedure that WILL void your warranty (unlike desktop video card upgrades).
    If it has Intel GMA graphics, 100% are non-upgradeable.
    If it has discrete graphics (ATI or NVidia), there's a slight chance but it's getting more and more rare.  In general, if multiple video card options were offered at purchase time for a system, it is possible to upgrade from the lower options to higher ones at a later date for significant expense.  The exception being systems that offered Intel GMA or other options - the GMA-based systems usually use a different motherboard than the other options (This was the case with the Dell E1705 series.)

  • Are there good encounters of iPad2 and OS5 oit there?

    Today I started to look into upgrading recent I Pad 2 purchase to OS5 but even the video showing the benefits is freezing so I hesitate, waiting to hear of god experiences first. Usually the 2nd of any major upgrade works out the kinks. thx. M

    I haven't had any problems.
    You're going to see lots of complaints on forums such as this, because the majority of people who do so are new posters who are having trouble with it - new posters don't sign up to a forum to say "all's well." I haven't noticed any of the power users of this forum saying they've had trouble, for what it's' worth.

  • Is there a reason I am stuck at version 14.2.1 x64  rather than 2014

    Hi
    I try to 'update' but the version 14.2.1 x64 seems to just stay with me rather than updating
    to 2014

    Do you see both versions in the Desktop Application Manager?  If yes, then you might not have located the launch icon.  Look in your list of program files.
    If you are stuck, you need to tell us what operating system you are using.
