Can I upgrade final cut express to final cut pro?

For some reason I'm having trouble finding the answer to this question. Can I upgrade my final cut express to final cut pro for a cheaper price then having to buy final cut pro from scratch? From what I've read, both final cuts are pretty similar so is an upgrade possible? I've found some posts saying you can, but they were from 2005 and not sure if that is still possible.
Thanks

I remember learning that myself a few months ago and feeling kicked in the 'nads by Apple. FWIW, I've seen people selling their copies of FCE on craigslist. Not sure it's "supported" by Apple, but what choice do you have to reclaim any value? If you upgrade, FCE is essentially useless and redundant software to you.

    Can I upgrade from Final Cut Pro 7 to Final Cut Pro X ?

    Two more important tidbits of information:
    1) There is a free trial of FCP X, that is fully functional for 30 days, so you can try it out and learn the ropes before you buy.
    2) In case you want to bring in some old projects cut in 7, and work on them in X, you are going to need a tool called 7toX to convert them.

  • How can I upgrade form Logic Express 9 to Logic pro?

    I have Loci Express 9 and I want to update to Logic Pro 9 . the only way is to download the "full" version from the app store? SInce I see that the download is only 400Mb what about the 8 DVD that used to come with the previous version? If I download Logic Pro, will It be a new program or It will upgrade Logic Express?

    You might be able to find a Logic Studio updgrade out there in the retail world but the only current and active "upgrade" available is to simply buy Logic Pro for $199 through the Mac App Store. The initial download is only about 400 megabytes but when it runs the first time, it downloads an additional 2 gigabytes or so of "required content." After that, you can go to the Help menu at any time and select "Download Additional Content." There's over 20 gigaytes of additional samples, loops and presets you can download at your leisure.
    To answer the second part of your post, Logic Pro will coexist with Logic Express side by side, but there's really no reason to do that unless you just want to. There's nothing Express does that Pro doesn't do.

    Can u upgrade Final Cut studio product key from a G-5 platform to a new intel processor?

    Not sure here ... you want to upgrade Final Cut Studio or do you want to move the version you have to an Intel Mac? Both is possible if you meet the system requirments.
    1. Upgrade FCS
    The Final Cut Studio upgrade provides an upgrade path from Final Cut Studio 2, Final Cut Studio 1, Production Suite, or any prior version of Final Cut Pro. Academic and Not-For-Resale (NFR) versions are not eligible for upgrade.
    2. Upgrade to Intel Mac

  • How can I upgrade to the latest version of Minion Pro (with a full set of superior letters)?

    I purchased Minion Pro a long time ago and love it, except ... it uses the ISO set of superior letters. I transcribe a lot of 17th- and 18th-century documents, and they use superior letters not in the ISO set. In Minion Pro Read Me it says that version 2.030 created 2007/08/16 has a full alphabet of superior letters. How can I upgrade from my version of Minion Pro without a full superior alphabet to a version with a full alphabet? --Thanks!

    I believe you're referring to an item on Minion Pro's Release Notes document. I've checked the latest version of this family and I'm sorry to tell you that Minion Pro does not have a full set of superiors. The comment in the Release Notes is incorrect.

  • Can not upgrade oracle 10g express edition 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.4

    I have install oracle 10g express edition 10.2.0.1 for windows 2003
    now I want upgrade to 10.2.0.4,I download p6810189(10.2.0.4 patch)
    When I upgrade 10.2.0.4 at OUI,have 2 option I don't know how to fill
    Specify File Locations
    1.Name:
    2.Patch:
    my oracle was installed at c:\oraclexe
    oracle Home:C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server
    oracle BASE:C:\oraclexe\
    oracle home_name:XE
    oracle sid:XE

    Hello,
    Oracle 10g XE is rather specific and, I'm not sure that you can upgrade it to 10.2.0.4 .
    However, Oracle published an Upgrade Guide for Oracle Express Edition but, it's limited to *10.2.0.3*:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/server.102/b32391/toc.htm
    But be careful:
    Once you have upgraded to Oracle Database 10g, you cannot downgrade back to Oracle Database Express Edition.Hope this help.
    Best regards,
    Jean-Valentin

  • How can I upgrade from Web Premium CS3 to Flash Pro CS6?

    I have a license for Web Premium CS3 (including Flash CS3 Pro) and bought an upgrade for Flash CS6. But I had problems with my license code because the installer always want's a Flash CS3 Pro license code and I only have a Web Premium license code. How can I solve this?
    Thanks

    You can't. Standalone products cannot be used with a suite serial. Eitehr you buy a full standalone license of Flash or upgrade your entire suite. Get in touch with sales.

    You may have an upgrade DVD that does not work on your machine even though it may work on others. If so, you should be able to exchange it. Also, note that it is acceptable, IMO, to borrow the upgrade disk of another to update your machine assuming, of course, that you can find one that will work on your machine.
    Regardless, did you try upgrading after starting up to your DVD by holding down C while starting up? If not, then try this approach.
    some people told me . that there is a major problem with most DVD readers for >MacBook pro computers is that true !!!
    Yes, there are problems with some of the DVDs released by Apple. But, see what I said above in this regard.

    If you do not have the Mac Pro I would find a 2008 or later but preferably, a 2009 or later one.

  • Can I upgrade my graphics card in my macbook pro? (2012 13-inch 2.9ghz)

    I'm wondering if this is possible, I almost bought the 15-inch with the nicer card but didn't.

    No as both the CPU and GPU are soldered to the Motherboard, Apple Speak Logic Board.
    Nothing is upgradeable except the HDD and RAM.

  • Can i upgrade from Logic PRO 7 to Logic express 9 (upgrade version)?

    Hello
    I was about to upgrade from Logic Pro 7 to Logic Studio 9 when i noticed that all the fetures i need are actually now in cheaper Logic Express 9.
    So would it be possible to upgrade to Logic Express 9 from Logic Pro 7? or will it only upgrade from older versions of Logic Express?
    Many thanks
    Tom

    Hi,
    guess that's not possible. But i strongly recommend upgrading your Logic Pro 7 to Logic Studio. It's not that much more money, but i bet once you have the new Express version, you'll desperately miss some of the features you only have with Logic Pro/Studio.
    I would recommend to call apple support or ask a dealer to find the correct upgrade version.
