Can't get Final Cut Express to work on my I Mac desktop

Hi All,
I just purchased an I Mac - the first in my life. I simply couldn't get Final Cut express to work on my station cos it keeps telling me I need Accelerated Graphics Port. I wonder what it is. My Mac fulfills all the specs for Final Cut Express to work, but it keeps prompting me that I need the AGP when I click on the icon. If you have any clue and even bette, the remedy, can you please drop me a msg here, thanks!

I guess you purchased the Intel based iMac, but you have Final Cut Express version 3.0 or older. This version is for older Macs based on PowerPC.
If this is the case, as a temporary solution you may simply bypass the AGP error message by pressing ESC when this appears, and then you'll be able to work with FCE 3.0, even though emulated by Rosetta.
The best solution is to upgrade to FCE 3.5 (99$) that is Universal and works natively on Intel.
In any case if you look for AGP in this forum you'll find many posts on this topic.

  • Since connecting my new Cinema display, I can't open Final Cut Express because I don says Quartz extreme, Since connecting my new Cinema display, I can't open Final Cut Express because I don says Quartz extreme

    Since connecting my new Cinema display to my new Mac Pro, I can't open Final Cut Express.  I get the message that I need Quartz Extreme to use it.  How come it isn't in my brand new computer or monitor??  I could use FCE fine with an old monitor.  HELP!

    I finally called Apple support on Monday (couldn't on Sunday - it surprised me that they don't have 24/7 phone support).  Tech had no idea, so put me onto a 'supertech' (in America?).  He instructed me to reset the whole computer - turn it off, unplug it and then hold down 4 keys while it rebooted.  That worked.  I can now open Final Cut Express and iMovie.  There's no reference to 'Quartz Extreme' in my 'About This Mac' display info, but I don't care, everything works now, hooray!  (Now if I can only get my Mac mouse to work properly...)

  • HT5103 How can I open Final Cut Express project in Final Cut Pro X?

    How can I open Final Cut Express project in Final Cut Pro X?

    If you export the project from FCE you can import the QuickTime into FCP. You can do limited work to it like adding titles.

    I have 8mm films transferred to .avi files at 18fps.  Can I use Final Cut Express to convert to standard DVDs to play on a US TV?

    Hi
    I was hoping that FCE would be able to handle the coversion from 18 to 30fps but that appears not to be the case.
    It does - If I'm not totally wrong. Can be to much using FinalCut Pro (6)
    Start FCE
    Select type of project You want to do
    I guess - NTSC 29.97fps - Select that from FCE menu / Easy Set-up
    Start a new Sequence
    DROP A PHOTO in TimeLine - at beginning.
    Now project is locked to 29.97 fps
    Now import and drop the 18fps clip in TimeLine.
    Select to convert it to match the setting of TimeLine.
    IF THIS IS A GOOD WAY - I hesitate to say - It works - but if quality is OK or not - I don't know
    I DO : use JES_Deinterlacer (free from Internet) to convert the frame rate in my clips (usually 25fps) to 29.97 fps - Then and first then I import the converted clip into FinalCut to be used in my NTSC projects.
    The quality done in this way - is very good and the program is free - so I can not want any better.

  • Can't install Final Cut Express on my new Powerbook

    I bought a 17" Powerbook G4 recently.
    I have Final Cut Express 2 installed on my Quicksilver G4 Desktop machine, but when I tried to install the software on my new laptop I got an error message.
    The message code reads:
    Unknown Error
    -5000
    This happens right ater the installer asks for my user name information and serial number.
    Does anyone know what this error message means, and more importantly, how I can overcome this error and get my software installed on my laptop?
    Mac G4 Quicksilver   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   iMovieHD and Final Cut Express

    Hello Ian,
    I am inputting my serial number correctly (the Ok button gets activated only after the last triplet of letters). I've made sure of not having a space before the first letter, as per your suggestion. I've also been careful to use my capslock key when entering the letters of my serial number.
    I still get the message
    Unknown error
    -5000
    The only option of this feedback dialog box is a Quit button. I tried hitting the esc key while clicking the Quit button, but that didn't help.
    What happens next during the install process is that I'm asked again to enter my name and serial number information. The information entered during this second attempt is accepted by the Installer, and the Installer goes on to its following steps (license agreement, etc). But when the Installer gets to show th drives where I can install the software, all the drives are flagged with the dreaded red exclamation mark (i.e., not able to install on any of the drives).

  • I have a Canon Vixia HV30 camera and can't get Final Cut Pro x to recognize it. Any suggestions?

    How can I get Final Cut ProX to recognize my Canon Vixia HV30 camera?

    Does your Mac have a FW 800 port? If it does, use a 4 pin to 9 pin connection. If you have only Thunderbolt, use a FW>Tb adaptor. Either way, your Mac should see the camera. If it does, so will FCP.

  • Can I use Final Cut Express 4.0.1. to import movies from Panasonic VDR-D250?

    Can I use Final Cut Express 4.0.1. to import movies from Panasonic VDR-D250 via USB 2.0? How? (page in handbook?)
    Further specifications of this older camera:
    USB 2.0
    DVD-RAM (cannot be inserted in my MBP!)
    50-PAL (signal)
    MPEG2
    Dolby Digital
    I want to use FCE if possible but maybe could try to install the software of this camera on Windows virtual XP also on my MBP?

    I forward an answer of Panasonic (written in German):
    So Panasonic does not offer a software which is compatible with Apple!
    Bezug nehmend auf Ihre Anfrage teilen wir Ihnen mit, dass der Camcorder
    VDR-D250 die Videoaufnahmen nach dem DVD-Videostandard sowie nach dem
    DVD-VR-Standard aufnehmen kann. Wir können jedoch nicht beurteilen ob Ihre
    Software Final Cut Express 4.0.1 die Bearbeitung dieser Standards
    unterstützt. Seitens Panasonic wird weder eine Apple kompatible software
    noch Support für Apple Geräte angeboten. Wenden Sie sich diesbezüglich
    bitte an Ihren Apple Händler oder Ihren Computeradministrator. Die
    mitgelieferte Software des Camcorders ist ausschließlich für folgende
    Betriebssysteme vorgesehen:
    - Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
    - Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
    - Microsoft Windows XP Professional
    Ob diese Software in einer virtuellen Umgebung genutzt werden kann ist uns
    nicht bekannt. Um die mit dem Camcorder aufgenommenen DVDs an einem
    Computer-Laufwerk auslesen zu können müssen diese vorab mit dem Camcorder
    finalisiert werden. Ausnahme ist die Verwendung einer DVD-RAM.

  • Can't get Final Cut to recognize my camera.

    I have a Canon VIXIA HF11 High def video camera and I can't get Final Cut Pro to recognize it. I don't have a firewire connection on the camera. It is a USB 2.0. I assume this is the root of the problem. iMovie recognizes the camera and imports the files. Does anyone know of a way to get the files into Final Cut? Thanks!

    Might I suggest a training DVD
    http://www.classondemand.net/media/final-cut-training/fcp7.aspx
    This is an AVCHD camera. You need to use the log and transfer function with the correct settings. You should not use iMovie for capture as it captures in an older codec that's not very good. In FCP7 you can capture in ProRes or ProRes LT, both of which are superior.
    I stand to profit from this message.

  • Can't load final cut express

    I can't load final cut express on an emac that has the system requirements. When loading the serial number the ok button will not highlight. I took it back to the shop today and the assistant installed it no trouble at all on the mac. Could their be anything in the administrator settings that are preventing it loading? Thanks

    Have you filled in all the fields? I remember wondering why it wouldn't let my hit OK; it was because I hadn't entered 'state' or something (Lancashire in my case). Anyway, it was one of the address fields that I didn't realise was necessary.

  • Can't use Final Cut Express Export Using Quick Time Conversion with iDVD.

    I am using iDVD 08v 7.0.4 and until 3 days ago I could import and create iDVD's using Final Cut Express export using Quick Time Conversion. There was an update that downloaded for iDVD. Since then, I can only use Final Cut Express Exports that is a self contained Quick Time Movie.
    I have never had this kind of apple and apple problem. I am disappointed that I'm having apple issues like this.

    Are you on latest 10.5.x release and latest FCE updates? Your info line says 10.5.1 and you didn't list FCE version. Not saying that will fix problem, but might help. You also might want to explain how you did your Quicktime conversion.

  • Can I install final cut express 2 on Panther 910.3.4

    Hi there,
    Long time, 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,
    LS

  • Can I use Final Cut Express 4 with Final Cut Pro 10

  • 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 much can i get Final Cut Studio 2?

    Hi,
    *in fact, i love this program so so much and i will get it to make tutorials in my blog or website as well but i can't buy it because it is so expensive for me and i'm student too,now i have some questions:-*
    *1-is there discount for this program?.*
    *2-can i get motion 3 only and buy final cut Express to make my tutorials?.*
    *3-i don't need sound track and dvd studio so can i get custom dvd for Final Cut Studio 2 with low price?.*
    *Thank you very much and keep going Apple i love you.*
    *Best regards,*
    *Khaled Samir.*

    1. There are academic discounts directly from Apple - though I do not know how it will work outside of the US. Google Apple Education and go to the education portion of the apple website.
    2&3. You can not purchase any of the applications independently from the whole Studio package or get a reduced price because you will not use one or two of them.
    Final Cut Express has a great deal of the functionality of Final Cut Pro but it will work only with DV and HDV video. It does not work with non-standard image sizes/codecs.
