Can I upgrade from Final Cut 7 to X or do I have to re-buy the software?

It looks like some forums are saying you have to re-buy at $299, but I see an upgrade in the app store for $9.99.

There's no upgrade pricing to go from FCP 7 to FCP X as it's a completely new version. The upgrade pricing before X was about the same, so $299 is not bad. The 7 to X App you see in the App Store is a third party utility used to translate old FCP 7 projects into FCP X.

  • How can I upgrade from Final Cut Pro X 10.0.4  to 10.0.7

    I need to upgrade from Final Cut Pro X 10.0.4 to 10.0.7 but can not find how to do this. Can anybody help?
    Thanks.

         You might do some web searching on "FCPx  torrent ".  I would think that if you have a legitimate copy of FCPx there would be no legal/moral issue with pulling down a 10.0.7 version via bittorrent, but I'm not a lawyer. And of course there are other issues relating to such software but as Tom implies, you can't get an older version from Apple so you'll have to find somebody, somewhere with a 10.0.7 copy that you can install.

  • Can you upgrade from Final Cut Pro 3 to Final Cut Pro Sudio 2 with upgrade?

    Does anyone know if you can upgrade from Final Cut Pro 3 to Final Cut Pro Sudio 2 with $699 upgrade?
    I purchased Final Cut Pro 2 years back and then purchased the Final Cut Pro 3 upgrade. I have not used it in years, but now I want to upgrade to Final Cut Studio 2. Is this possible by just purchasing the upgrade?

    Apple's web page has the requirements:
    http://store.apple.com/AppleStore/WebObjects/BizCustom?qprm=78313&productLearnMo re=MA886Z/A
    The $699.00 upgrade version requires a valid serial number from a commercial version of Final Cut Studio, Production Suite, or Final Cut Pro 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. Academic and not-for-resale versions are not eligible for this upgrade.

  • Can I upgrade from Final Cut Pro 6 to Final Cut Pro X?

    HI,
    I am trying to budget up expenses to upgrade both of these machines. Unfortunately, I sense that I have to scrap my G-5 Pre-Intel
    tower for one that is Intel, and can go through the Lion phase, as will my Macbook Pro laptop.   I have been pretty skimpy by only
    upgrading Photoshop (CS 4) and Final Cut Pro (6.06; though I have the entire suite from 2007), and may have to continue doing so unless I can
    imagine buying the entire Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft Office, and the entire FCP suite as well. I know that I can upgrade on the Photoshop from 4-6 but I am not finding anything that tells me that I can upgrade FCP from 6-X. 
    Any comments?

    There is no upgrade from FCP6/7 to X.  You have to either stay with 7 or buy X for $299.  Either way, an upgrade woud cost the same.
    Trust me, X is well worth it and I dont miss 7 one bit.

  • Final Cut Studio 2: upgrade from Final Cut Express HD

    I'm guessing I know the answer to this question already, but I'm hoping someone will tell me I'm not correct. Is there an upgrade path from Final Cut Express HD 3.5.1 to Final Cut Studio 2? I don't see one listed on the software page in the Apple store. Seems ashame if there isn't. I'm sure there are other FCE HD owners out there who would like to upgrade rather than starting over for the tune of $1299.
    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    And it's well worth it. you can recoup a little of
    your cost by uninstalling fce and selling it.
    What's required in order to sell it? Can the registration be transferred to a new owner?

  • Upgrade from Final Cut Express to Pro 5.0

    I think I made a stupid mistake. I purchased Final Cut Pro 5.0 upgrade thinking I could upgrade from Final Cut Express. But when I am asked to enter the previous versions serial number, it does not accept it. Is there any way to do this or am I going to have to buy the full version of Final Cut Pro?
    Also, I have a G4 Powerbook with the following specs. Is it going to run the program if I do finally get it installed?
    CPU Speed: 867 MHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
    Memory: 640 MB
    Bus Speed: 133 MHz
    NVIDIA GeForce4 MX

    To upgrade from FCE you need the Final Cut Pro 5 Upgrade from Final Cut Express. I just upgraded FCE and that worked fine for me.
    Hope this helps answer your question...

  • How do I upgrade from final cut 5.1 to final cut 5.1.4?

    I wanted to upgrade from final cut studio 5.1 to 5.1.4 because it doesn't recognise my camera JVC HD111E or the format I have used 730p 25 frame. 5.1 codecs are extremely limited. However my Mac doesn't see that I need this update when I go to software update. Downloaded it from idisk public folder after advice from apple support but this won't install. Have tried other ways such as buying a Lumiere HD plug in but this doesn't work either. Please help!

    Welcome to the discussions, saiga. From Wales, eh? Lovely country, that.
    You've registered the software, right? And you've not moved any programs or renamed them? Have you tried re-installing FCP?

    Why do you want to upgrade?

  • Can't export because of Error -50 but can't upgrade my final cut because of video card?

    So I updated to mavericks later to find out you can't export in final cut pro unless you upgrade the software, my problem is that when I try to upgrade the software it says "you do not have the required graphics card"
    So I'm stuck. What can I do? I Simply cannot export using any option  as I either get a compressor error -50 or nothing happens at all.
    I can't update the software. I can't export.
    APP NAP IS OFF

    If the problem is with the graphics card then here is a list of compatible cards: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4664
    What computer are you using? If it is an older Mac Pro 1,1 to 3,1 (early 2008) then the ATI Radeon HD 5770 should work. This is the one I've used and it has 1GB of memory. The more graphics card memory available the better. I read one account where a person had to go to 2GB of memory to avoid the spinning beachball but who knows what other resources he had tied up. For myself, I have a video-only machine and the Internet is disconnected when I'm editing and the 1GB worked perfectly fine. Oh, and with only 8 GB of RAM.
    The 5770 cost $249 with free shipping about two years ago. Recommend not using a "flashed" card.
    As for what to do for the interim, one suggestion would be to copy the Project to an external drive and find someone who would be willing to finish the share process. Other than that, it looks like you'll be dead in the water until the video card issue is resolved.

  • Can I upgrade to Final Cut Studio 7 if my last version is also an upgrade??

    I upgraded to Final Cut Pro 4.5 with a version that was for upgrading to FCP 4 from either version 1, 2 or 3.
    I no longer have the previous version, just the FCP 4 box/discs and the "upgrade" authorization code on the sticker it came on.
    I see that there's an upgrade to Final Cut Studio 7 for around $300 from any previous non-academic version...but what about if the last version is an upgrade too?? It IS the FULL FCP 4.5.
    Am I eligible for this discounted upgrade to FC Studio 7? Has anyone done exactly this?
    Thank you for any solid info/experience on this you may have!

    This problem brings up another associated question.
    Is it possible to extract from the app/computer the original Retail Serial Number?
    With my Final Cut Express 4.0.1 I simply go to HD>Library>Application Support>ProApps and open the FCE System ID in TextEdit in order to have my original FCE 1.0.1 revealed. (The upgrade number of course is displayed on the splash screen and also "About FCE").
    However, opening the FCS System ID or the ProAppsSystemID does not reveal any serial number . . . . though my FCS3 is a Full Retail Version. Maybe if it was an upgrade, it might?
    Being able to access and save the original reg would be useful for anyone who has lost it since upgrading.
    It must be stored somewhere, unless when it was originally installed the computer just registered that it had a suitable number and did not save the specific one.

  • HT1338 how can I upgrade my final cut express 4 to final cut pro?

    Can I update my Final Cut Express 4 to the current version?

    If you have questions about or are having difficulties with FCP, I'd suggest you start a new topic in the Final Cut Pro forum rather than posting in someone else's year-old thread.
    Final Cut Pro is by no means "amateur". It's used by many professional editors of feature films. So either you got Final Cut Express, or you just haven't discovered how to use all the features. Again, the FCP forum can help.
    Regards.

  • Upgrading From Final Cut Pro 5 to 6 - can you use full install disk?

    Hi,
    I have one MacBook Pro running Final Cut 6 (with Final Cut Studio 2), and another one running Final Cut Pro 5 (with Final Cut Studio). We're looking to upgrade the second one to Final Cut Studio 2.
    Does anyone know if the upgrade can be done with the disks from the full install box of Studio 2, using the product key from an upgrade? We happen to be in the middle of East Africa at the moment, so shipping is an issue...
    Thanks

    You CAN install Final Cut Studio with only the upgrade disk set BUT you will need the product key for BOTH the Final Cut Studio 2 AND the previous version.
    After you insert the Final Cut Studio 2 upgrade installation disk you will first be asked to input the product key for the upgrade version and then after you will be requested for the product key of the previous version.
    After this, the installation process does NOT require any disks from the previous version of Final Cut Studio.
