Can I install Final Cut on OS 10.3.9?

The minimum system requirements on my Final Cut is 10.4.4.
Vut I read somewhere that it cam be run on 10.3.9.
Is this possible?

I think it might, but there were a lot of problems running QT 7 with 10.3.9 and that's a requirement of 5.1... but if you are intending to install on an iBook, I'd recommend going to FCP 4.5. Pro Apps require Pro Machines I'm afraid.

Can I install final cut express 2 on Panther 910.3.4

Thanks
Fabricio

Hi Fabricio,
I assume you have 10.3.4 and not 910.3.4 on the machine you want to install it on? If so, here are the system requirements I see for it:
Final Cut Express 2.0.2
System Requirements
* Macintosh computer with a 350MHz PowerPC G4 or G5 processor and AGP graphics card.
* RT Extreme requires a 500MHz PowerPC G4 (550MHz for PowerBook G4) or G5 processor
or any dual PowerPC G4 or G5 processors.
* Mac OS X v10.2.5 or later.
* QuickTime 6.4 or later.
* 384MB of RAM (512MB required for RT Extreme).
* 40MB of available disk space required for installation.
hope that helps some,

Can I install final cut express on a second computer?

Can I install final cut express on a second computer?

The FCE license permits you to install FCE on 1 Mac desktop + 1 Mac laptop provided you own and use both computers. You are not permitted to install on 2 laptops or 2 desktops.
From the FCE license:
2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.
A. This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on one Apple-labeled desktop computer and one Apple-labeled laptop computer so long as both computers are owned and used by you.
If you are not the owner of the second Mac then an additional license is required for it.
The fact that there are 2 stickers means nothing. It's just 2 stickers. The intent was for you to put them in different places so that you hopefully don't lose both stickers.

How can I install Final Cut Studio 2 on my new MacBook Pro with Lion?

I just purchased and received a new 15" MacBook Pro (non-retina) last week. I need to install Final Cut Studio 2 on this computer. I have researched this and found that I need to install Rosetta from the Snow Leopard DVD in order to do this. This is the first Mac I've bought ( although I've been working with them for years), so I don't have a Snow Leopard DVD. I am a high school teacher and we use FCS 2 for my classes so buying FCP X is not a viable option for me since I teach FCP 6. The iMacs we use in school run Leopard and were never upgraded to Snow Leopard (budget cuts and all), so I can't even borrow one from my district.
Does anyone know how I can obtain Rosetta? Or another way to install this without it?
Thank you ! :)

There is no way to add Rosetta support because it is not supported by OS X Lion at system level. This has been documented before the release of OS X Lion by itself.
If you really need Final Cut Studio 2, I would return your computer if possible, and purchase a Mac that is capable of running Snow Leopard (all 2010 models, early 2011 MBP and some other 2011 models)

Can i install Final cut studio 5 and DVD Studio Pro 4 on OSX lion

Is any body who can help me on giving me some direction on how to install Final Cut Studio 5.1 and DVD Studio Pro 4 on my OSX Lion, if it's doable. Thanks

The easiest way is to install Rosetta from a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD first.
There's also a way of doing it via Terminal that's been posted here a couple of times. A search should bring that up.
Edit: Found it... https://discussions.apple.com/message/21416133#21416133 read the second post.

Can't install Final Cut Studio 2 because "PowerPC applications are no longer supported"

Bought a brand new 15" MacBookPro OS X 10.7 2.2Ghz Intel Core i7 and tried to install Final Cut Studio 2. Got the error message "You can't open the application FinalCutStudio.mpkg because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." Oh no, does this mean I have to spend more money!???

I'd like to provide an update on this situation in case anyone is in the same boat I am.
I went to the Apple store today. I asked if I could downgrade my operating system. They said no, since it came pre-installed with Lion. I asked if Final Cut Studio 3 was compatible with Lion. They said yes, for the most part. They said there was an issue exporting video in 1080p.
Of course, conveniently Apple is no longer selling FCS3 and the ones on Ebay I saw have gone up to more than $650 a copy. I am out $400 for stupidly buying FCS2 a few months ago, which is now useless to me. I told the Apple guy that I'm not buying FCS X until they work out all the kinks. This leaves me with this laptop that I bought for video editing with no editing software to use.
I never thought I'd say this, but I'm actually considering getting Premiere Pro now for Apple, which is supported in Lion and is running a deal for 50% off. (http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/faq.html#lion-os) If Apple doesn't start selling FCS 3 again, they are really not giving me any choice but to switch!

I CAN'T INSTALL FINAL CUT PRO 3 ON MY NEW INTEL IMAC, HELP!!!

I'm trying to install FINAL CUT PRO 3 onto my new iMac but can't. It reads the disk but then says, "Original disk needed for install." I have the original disk, I own a registered copy of the program, so I'm stuck.

Hi -
I believe Final Cut 5 is designed to run on a Power PC CPU machine, the current MacBooks use Intel chips - so the software will not install on your Intel based MacBook.
You can, however, upgrade from a full version of Final Cut 5 to Final Cut Studio 3 which contains the latest version of FCP, version 7 as well as Compressor, Color, Soundtrack Pro and Motion for $299 which is a steal as the full version for Final Cut Studio 3 is $999.
You only need the serial number of the full version (non-academic or non-upgrade version) to do the FCS 3 upgrade - you don't need to have FCP 5 loaded on your machine to make the upgrade work.
Hope this helps.

Can I install Final Cut Studio 3.0 after already having FCP X?

I have already installed FCP X on one of my computers. I need to install Final Cut Studio 3.0 on the same computer now.
When I tried to install, I get the selection screen and Final Cut is ghosted out and unavailable.
Is there a way around this? I know FCP X can co-exist with Final Cut Studio 3.0 if it's installed afterward, but I need to know if I can install Final Cut Studio after FCP X which I imagine is a fairly rare situation.
I'm on Lion -- in case that matters.
_Matt_

I'm not positive, but I believe that FCPX installer is aware of FCS. If you intsall FCPX and FCS is already on your computer, the FCPX installer will move FCS into a folder inside Applications. I'm sure FCS installer is not aware of the existance of FCPX.
I would guess that you would have to uninstall FCPX, install FCS and then, if you wanted, re-install FCPX, using the App Store.
I have not actually done this, but I'm guessing that having FCPX already on your computer is what's causing issues with the FCS installer.

Can't install Final Cut Studio

I have a MacBook Pro OS X 10.6.6 and am trying to install Final Cut Studio. When individually do Livetype or Motion it works. When I do the Final Cut disc I get this error message.
"Your computer does not have the hardware required to run this software. See the Read Me for details."
My computer should have necessary specifications with 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3.
What should I do?

That could very well be a Pre-Intel version of FCS. It won't install properly on an Intel Mac.

How many computers can I install Final Cut Studio 2 on?

Here's my dilemma. I'm a poor soon-to-be college grad with an old 2004 PowerBook G4. I'm starting to do video projects this summer and want to get a new computer and Final Cut Studio 2. The problem is, I don't have money for both. However, my current computer DOES meet the requirements (1GB RAM, 1.5Ghz engine, and 17" monitor) to install the apps and run them. So, ideally, I would buy Final Cut Studio 2 and install it on this old computer until I saved up enough money to get myself a Mac Book Pro in a few months. Then, I would install FCS 2 on my new computer. Is this possible? Can I install FCS 2 on my old G4 and then months later when I get a new computer, on my new computer? Or at least transfer the apps to my new computer?
Thanks ahead of time! I haven't gone computer shopping in a while so I don't remember how this all works!

Install it on the PowerBook, and when you get the MacBook Pro, download and use this tool on the PowerBook prior to installing it on the MacBook Pro. The license for Final Cut Studio 2 permits it to be installed on a desktop and portable but not two portables.
If you're in the middle of a project when you get the MacBook Pro, complete it before changing the configuration.

Can I install Final Cut Studio on the G5 I have?

Currently have Final Cut 5.0.4 - I just purchased Final Cut Studio 2 and am nervous about installing it on this computer. From the box specs, it appears as though this computer meets all specs except the VRAM for 16 and 32 bit rendering. (It says I need 128 MB, but my graphics card is 64 MB.)
Any advice on what problems this might cause and if I should or should not install Studio 2 on this computer?
Any input is appreciated.

I think you'll be able to run Motion, as long as you stay 8 or 10 bit.
You may remember that I wrote:
So if you do all your work in regular 8 or 10-bit, it should work.
It's difficult to upgrade a computer that old, as you probably realize.
I'm not sure whether your computer is a M9454LL/A or a M9555LL/A
I checked out these spec pages:
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP80
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP67
and it seems that, if you can find this card
ATI RADEON 9600 XT with 128MB DDR SDRAM
(wihch was used on the faster G5s of that series)
it should plug in and work.
In any case, Motion needs a good graphics card.
My suggestion? Go ahead and install FCS on your G5 and get to work.
When you can afford an Intel machine, you can install it on the new machine
and go crazy!

HT5148 how many computers can I install final cut on?

Me and my business partner are looking to purchase Final Cut X for our company. Can you purchase one copy and use one both computers?

And if so, does that mean that once I purchase Final Cut X, I can install it on any computer (up to 5)
There is no authorization. There is nothing that defines any number of machines. The licenss addresses who owns the machine and who's using it. If you own a laptop and a desktop and you use them both you can install the application on both machines. If you own two machines and someone else is using one of them you need to purchase two licenses. You can do this my using separate Apple IDs for each machine.

I can't install FINAL CUT STUDIO 2...help!!!

Everytime I install the first disk when I get to the second disk put it in the computer it stil says that another disk is required. I take it out put it back in at leat 15 times and it stil says the same thing in fact if you lesve the disk in for any amount of time it pops back out on its own. For some strange reason it seems as if my computer is not recognizing the DVD studio pro disk that comes with the set....Does anyone have a clue as to what is going on???
Before installation I do get a message that says... my graphics card does not support the "OPENGL".... recommended by Final Cut what is this ???

a brody may be correct, but I'm going to throw out a couple of other thoughts.
1) Do you have a DVD drive in your G4? If that second disk is a DVD and you don't have a DVD drive, that would be why it's spitting the disk back out.
2) If the second disk is a CD (or it's a DVD and you DO have a DVD drive), then check it for scratches. Even heavy fingerprints can make it difficult or impossible for a drive to read a disk. Clean as necessary.
Open GL is a graphic display function that greatly speeds up 2D and 3D graphic generation. While Final Cut will likely still work without it, expect it to be much slower with some types of screen draws.
