Can't open Final Cut Studio 2010 upgrade from Apple page

Hi all
I'm setting up a new MacBook Pro, running Lion, after being away from video editing for a while. And not having a more techie person around to help. So after checking forums I installed Final Cut Studio 3.00 off disk.
Thought I'd better add the Apple 2010 update at: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL949 But after downloading it several times I can't open the dmg - it gives an error message: saying 'can't open .. invalid checksum'. Also - with Lion can only format the external drive as OS Extended Journalled. I'm just doing a short doco - using some footage off tape.
So I'm hoping someone can help - does it matter not having the update? Will the drive be able to cope in Journalled format?

Thanks Nick
Tried that & it does also bring up a few other updates. But it still goes to the link to download the update dmg - which can't be opened. Good news is that FCP seems to be working fine for what I'm doing now - which is capturing off tape & editing. Still, Iwouldn't mind updating though.
Sorry for slow reply but been having Applle ID problems, but that's another story.

Final Cut Studio 3 upgrade from FCS 2

What is the main difference between the Final Cut Studio 3 Upgrade version and the full retail version? I already have FCS 2 installed with all content but wonder if there's anything missing from the upgrade version compared to the full installation. Is it just the applications that are updated or is there any new content that I'll be missing with the upgrade?

And why would you trust us? We don't work for Apple and it is unlikely one of us will purchase both versions - so how would we know?
When in doubt, throw money in the general direction of uncertainty. It won't be a better solution but you'll feel that you've done everything possible to acquire the best solution. You'll also have the benefit if being able to sell your old FCS version on ebay because you won't need its serial number as a basis for the upgrade.
ymmv of course.
cheerios,

Can't open final cut studio 2 project in final cut pro 5.0.4

My color corrector has the new Final Cut Studio 2. I still have version 5.0.4
I can't open the project file he returned to me. I'm guessing its because we have different versions. 5.0.4 is the latest patch for me, right?
Furthermore, a friend of mine has final cut studio 2 and opened the project for me. He exported an xml file and told me i should be able to import that and view the project file. When I open it all the media files are offline.
Do I HAVE to upgrade to Final Cut studio 2 to be able to view these project files?
thanks,
ben

Reconnect the offline media and life should be good.
Still, the best solution is for everyone involved with the project to be using the same version of FCP/Color.

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?

Final Cut Studio 2 Upgrade from FCS - How's It Going?

Hello
I'm been using FCS 5.1 with great success. I have quite a bit of WWII footage stored and edited. The color correction program, 'Color' in FCS 2 is superior to FCS. I bought the upgrade but haven't put it in yet. Was wondering if you guys could give me your opinions about the Upgrade? Does it open older projects ok? Is it problematic in any areas? I do realize once you've opened a older project, it will forever be saved in the newer version.
Thank You
Mike

We are busy WORKING. Two hours...a bit impatient aren't we?
lol.
FCP 6...Studio 2...is a great improvement over FCP 5.1.4. Color makes it worth it, Motion 3 makes it worth it. Added support for other formats and better stability makes it worth it. Upgrade is solid....go for it.

Final Cut Studio 2 Upgrade Question

Hi
I have a Final Cut Studio 1 installed on my laptop. I still have the original install discs and serial number.
I recently purchased Final Cut Studio 2 upgrade from a "reputable" source on ebay....but it came with NO serial number.
I have heard that if I send the discs to Apple they will supply me with a new Serial Number. Is this true?
thanks

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
You may run the applications on one desktop and one laptop at the same time

Can't open Final Cut Pro anymore. HELP!!!

I can't open my Final Cut Pro. When I click to open it, a message comes up saying, "Final Cut Pro quit unexpectedly." It tells me to click reopen to open the application, but every time I click reopen, the same message screen comes back. I can't open Final Cut. I need help.

I am having same exact problem.
It was working fine for years, and all of a sudden, after a Mac Os X Software Update it will NOT open, ( I think this may have caused the problem, however I am not sure)

If i buy final cut studio 2 and then get final cut studio 3 upgrade will it be final cut studio 3

ive been looking around to buy final cut studio 3 for weeks now with no success and i think ive found a solution i'm just wondering if it will work by buying final cut studio 2 full and then buying final cut studio 3 upgrade overall will everything be final cut studio 3?

You can still get the FCS3 upgrades from the apple shop
No you can not get FCS upgrades from Apple retail stores or Apple dealers, they have been recalled by Apple.
Only places that will stock is independant retailers and online used software vendors.
Apple have clearly stated that FCS is now ''end of life''

FInal Cut Studio 3 Upgrade - Sluggish

I've recently installed the Final Cut Studio 3 upgrade (incl. FCP7) and have found playback to be super slow and crashes often. I've also just exported two simple ProRes files to compressor and found it incredibly sluggish. Is there anything that I'm missing in the upgrade?

Actually the upgrade is able to be used on computers with no previous versions installed as long as you have the original Retail Serial Number which it will ask for.
Your installation method sounds perfectly OK.
I was really interested in whether you had upgraded the OS to Snow Leopard, as this can sometimes cause problems together with the accumulated rubbish that inevitably appears after a year or so of use.
I found that after upgrading to SL and then upgrading to FCS3, my computer generally was not performing well.
A complete erase of the hard drive and a reinstallation of everything made it good as new.

Final Cut Studio 3 Upgrade P/N MB643Z/A How many Disks?

Hi! I have my Final Cut Studio 3 Upgrade disk set P/N MB643Z/A SKU 8859092445284 for sale on ebay (300781404751), the auction closes in 3 hours, I have 6 DVD disks. From my pictures I see I have one white and 5 Black disks. I had a person tell me I am missing a disk, that there should be 7 disks in total. I hope someone can help me by confirming how many disks I should have and the title of each of them. Also, If I have one missing, do I have any chance of getting one from Apple? and how I would go about getting it? Thanks very much!

There are 7 disks.
White one is FINAL CUT INSTALL DVD...this has all the apps. THen the black ones are:
Audio Content 1
Audio Content 2
Audio Content 3
DVD Studio Pro content
Motion Content 1
Motion Content 2
>Also, If I have one missing, do I have any chance of getting one from Apple?
Nope. They discontinued FCP 7 over a year ago.

Wont let me open final cut studio-missing hardware

when i try to open final cut studio a message comes up saying missing hardware 512mb ram, but i have this on my computer.
do i need more ram?
what will make it work?
any help would be greatfully appreciated

Welcome to the forums.
Yes, you need more RAM. FCP needs MINIMUM 512 MB Ram, and your system right now is taking up half of what you have. 1.5GB is the min RAM I recommend for running FCP. 2.5GB to be comfortable...3.5GB to be stylin'.

Where can I buy Final Cut Studio?

I have been searching everywhere, but I can't find Final Cut Studio with Final Cut 7 in it. Anyone know where I could buy this? I would love to buy it from Apple, but I can't find it anywhere.

Discontinued.
Call the Apple online store. A few months ago they still had a few copies for sale by telephone only.
Maybe you will get lucky.

Can I use Final Cut Studio 3 - notably FCP 7 - on the lastest MacBook Pro (non Retina) (Z0MV-27-4GB-512-HRA Apple 15" MacBook Pro/2.7GHz Quadcore Intel Core i7/8 GB) running OS 10.8?

Can I use Final Cut Studio 3 - notably FCP 7 - on the lastest MacBook Pro (non Retina) (Z0MV-27-4GB-512-HRA Apple 15" MacBook Pro/2.7GHz Quadcore Intel Core i7/8 GB) running OS 10.8? If not, is there a work-around if I have to revisit work done in FCS 3?

I have it running on the latest NON-Retina MBP. And a good friend of mine has it running on his Retina model. Works fine.
Henry English wrote:
What if I have to revisit any one of them? What if I try FCP X and find I prefer FCS 3?
If you need to revisit them...that's why you install FCS3. That's really the only reason I have that on my system, to revisit old projects, and to deal with clients who still use FCP 7.
You really should look at moving on though...not sticking with FCP7. It's 4 years old...two years since it was EOL. Adobe Premiere Pro CC is a very good FCP replacement...although I don't like their "rental" method of paying a subscription to use it. Or you can buy Adobe CS6...but that just lacks enough to make it not quite tempting for me. Premiere CC is spot on...but **** if I don't hate that subscription model. But there's also Avid Media Composer. But that doesn't do a lot of things that I used FCP and Adobe for...
