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.

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Error sending multi-track project back to Final Cut Pro, can't open XML

    I am an experienced Final Cut Pro user but just tried using Soundtrack Pro for the first time on a real project. I sent the audio from my Final Cut sequence to a Soundtrack Pro multi-track project, added a few effects and created some fade-ins and fade-outs, and then tried to Export back to Final Cut.
    I selected "File > Export", named my file and selected "After Export > Send files to Final Cut Pro sequence."
    Now in Final Cut an error appears that says "The document “Name.xml” could not be opened. Final Cut Pro cannot open files in the “Final Cut Pro XML File” format."
    Am I crazy or is something wrong happening here? I can get the exported audio files to appear in my sequence if I select "File > Import > XML" in Final Cut, but after this whole process Final Cut seems to be functioning unreliably (after closing Final Cut and re-opening, I even once got a similar error that said "Final Cut cannot open files in the Final Cut Pro Project File format", which is obviously crazy).
    Am I doing something wrong? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    hi,

  • I have AVI files that I need to be MOV files so that I can edit them in Final Cut Pro. I am going to use Quick Time Pro for this....do I have to 'export' it or can I just 'save as', or is there even a difference? Thanks in advance for your help!

    I have AVI files that I need to convert to MOV files so that I can edit them in Final Cut Pro. I am going to use Quick Time Pro for this....When I have the files open in QT Pro do I have to 'export' it or can I just 'save as', or is there even a difference? Thanks in advance for your help!

    I strongly recommend you use compressor to do the conversion (if it will open the files - since quicktime will open them, it will more than likely do it.
    Compressor allows you to customize presets and save them and apply them to multiple files.  Although the interface may seem daunting, it's actually pretty simple.
    Even if you can edit the avi in fcp, it's not a good idea.  Liable to cause problems down the road.

    ¿can I run a Final Cut 5 or 6.0.6 in a MacBook Pro i5?

    Since 5.1 was the first version compatible with Intel Macs, the 5.0 version won't work.  But the 6.0 version should be fine.

  • Why can't I use final cut pro 7 with Mavericks?

    Why can't I use final cut pro 7 with Mavericks? Is any one else having problems? All my media is reputedly "offline" even though I can see all the files. Using the reconnect to media function doesn't do a thing. All of my previous projects are the same. Any ideas would be most welcome!

    Because it is $299.99, and there is tax.

  • Can I capture with Final Cut Pro and edit in Premiere Pro?

    Since it appears that Premiere has issues with capture - at least for me but as I see it for others as well - and that I can capture with iMovie, can I consider using Final Cut Pro for capture - then cross to Adobe Premiere and the suite for editing, finalizing ? Or is there a problem to copy the shots/files from one program to the other (would they remain identified clearly so I could just import shots into Premiere afterward ?)
    Thanks
    Rob

    Hi Rob,
    When you capture HDV in FCP it creates a specific Apple HDV codec. This is a codec that is only available if FCP, Motion or Compressor is installed.
    The two workarounds would be to use Premiere Pro on the Mac with one of the above mentioned apps installed on the same system or convert to a codec that can be read in Premiere.
    Best,

  • How can I convert my Final Cut Pro 5 projects to Final Cut Pro X using XML via 7 to X?

    I have been using Final Cut Pro 5 for years and I was considering upgrading to FINAL CUT PRO X.  But I soon learned about the compatibility issues which leaves me with a bit of a dilemma.  Then I learned about 7 to X, which apparently can convert FCP7 projects via XML to FCPX.  That made me wonder if I can XML all my FCP 5 projects and have FCPX open them.  Is this possible?

    Best to post this question in the FCPX forum.
