Can't reinstall Final Cut Express 4 from disc. What do I do?

I formatted my macbook pro and now want to reinstall final cut express 4.
The problem is that I keep getting the message that the disc is empty,
I think the problem is my cd driver. Is there a way to get the software online?

Can you borrow an external DVD drive to do the install?

  • 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.

  • 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?

    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.

  • How do I copy final cut express from my computer onto a laptop

    How do I copy final cut express from my computer onto a laptop?

    You don't.  Several of the system level components won't be installed properly if you copy or 'migrate' to a new computer.  You'll need to install from the original install discs.

  • Where can I download Final Cut Express 4.0.1?

    I recently reinstalled Final Cut Express 4.0 on an iMac running Mountain Lion.  Unfortunately, I am are not getting the option to download the Final Cut Express 4.0.1 update via the "Software Update" page.  4.0.1 is essential to work with certain codecs such as AVCHD.  Where can I find the update?  I am unable to find it in Apple's Support downloads.  The only thing available there is an old FCE 2 update.  Any ideas?

    It could be that your computer or its OS is too new to download a long obsolete app.
    If you have access to an older machine you could try installing on that and migrating across  ........  though I've no idea whether it would work.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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...)

  • 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 reinstall Final Cut X the correct way?

    I downloaded Final Cut X and Motion 5 thinking they would sit on my Mac Pro Desktop until I installed them.  I would then follow the Apple partiitioning instructions.  Unfortunately, it appears that they both installed as they downloaded.  I have not opened either yet.
    How can I start over?

    Not sure if you are aware that Apple recommends a separate start-up disk installation when one has the earlier version of Final Cut Studio.  Or, they recommend partitioning a single start-up drive.  I did neither thinking that after I downloaded the software I would be able to then install it after I prepared the disk.  Hence, the dowload apparently has already installed causing me to hesitate to open the new version since Apple suggests keeping the old and new version very separate, which I have not done.
    How might I fix this problem?  This is why I asked "Can I reinstall Final Cut X the correct way?"
