Cross Grade Final Cut Pro

I need to order the Final Cut Pro Cross grade for my recent purchase of the mac book pro. In order for me to turn it in I must turn in my original DVD's to get the cross grade version. Will the cross grade work with my older Mac and Mac Book Pro? Here is the specs to my older desktop: Dual 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5 with OS X 10.3.9? If not then how will I be able to use them on both computers with out having to pay for another verson of Final Cut Studio 5.0?

The crossgrade works on Intels and older G5s.
BUT...you only get a license for one tower. The Crossgrade does allow for it to be installed on a tower and a laptop, but you cannot use them at the same time. If you have several towers, you need multiple copies, or you are breaking the license agreement.

  • I just updated to new final cut pro x 10.1.1 and i am also on mavericks so but on my editing timeline i was trying to color grade using magic bullet looks but i am having problem with it. when it comes back to tcp x it's black.

    I just updated to the new final cut pro x 10.1.1 and i am also on mavericks so but on my editing timeline i was trying to color grade using magic bullet looks but i am having problem with it. When i send a sample to MBL and color grade it , it comes back to final cut pro x all black even after render. By the way on the MBL i am using the GPU rendering, I used before like 4months ago and it was fine. And i don't like to use the CPU because it very slow.

    What is the frame rate of the project? At what frame rate was the media recorded? What frame size?
    What are the audio settings?
    What are the specs of the machine, in particular how much RAM, how is the hard drive connected, etc.?
    If possible, post screenshots of the inspector for the project.
    It could be related to the audio frequency?

  • Final Cut Pro 10.1.3, My Cross Dissolve icon is black, I have tried many option but I cannot get it to function. Do I need another plug in for it to work? Help please.

    Hi,
    I am trying to do a very basic cross dissolve in final cut pro 10.1.3. One thing I have noticed is that al a lot of my icons in the transitions sections are black. Is this normal? I can' t find much on this. When I drag the transition onto the clip a message comes up saying, 'There is not enough extra media beyond clip egdes', It asks do I want to over lap to create the transition. I say 'Create Transition', but it doesn't. Any thoughts appreciated.

    Curiously, this picture I can see :-)
    The dialog is quite normal. It just means what it says, namely, there is not enough extra media at the edges of the clips (so called "handles") to be used for the transition, so FCP X needs to shorten some of those clips to create the handles - thus the total length of your timeline will decrease.
    But the fact that the transition appears as black in the browser, and that it is not applied, show that there is definitely something wrong.
    Since these default transitions are installed as part of the application itself, I believe the best course of action is to delete FCP X (use FCS Remover to completely remove all traces of the application), and then install afresh from the purchases section of the App Store.

  • Cross dissolving in Final Cut Pro 10.0.8

    Hi there, seriously struggling with cross dissolving in Final Cut Pro 10.0.8.
    The problem is simple: I don't know how to do it, and I can't find the option to do it. Right clicking doesn't give me the option to 'Add Cross Dissolve'. I eventually found it by clicking 'Lift From Storyline'  and then clicking 'Add Cross Dissolve' but I can't navigate it at all...I'm trying to cross dissolve from one clip to another without it fading to black in between. Can someone help me, or point me in the direction of a tutorial? I've been looking for ages now and not found one that I can use!
    This is how it looks at the moment...The clip on the left fades to black and then the next clip starts really suddenly, neither of which I want to happen, but this is the closest I've got after hours of trying to make sense of it!

    Lift From Storyline is not what you want, as you've found.
    Command-T
    Highilght the In or the Out point of a clip, the default transition (Cross Desolve) is applied to that edit point.
    Hiighlight a whole clip, or series of clips together, the default transition is applied to all In and Out points for all selected clips.
    In the Transition Browser, right-click a cilp and select "Make Default Transition" to change which is the default.
    In the Transition Browser, select the "All" catagory in the left column, the first one listed is the one currently set at the Default Transition.
    You can also drag-and-drop from the Transition Browser, or highilght an In or Out point, or a single or series of clips, and double-click a transition in the browser.

  • Cross Processing in Final Cut Pro...

    Hi everyone, I have been trying to figure out how to cross process in final cut pro without buying a plugin. I searched around and have seen the plugins, but they are not the cross processed look that I am lookin for. If anyone knows how to do this in Final Cut, please let me know.

    Between the "Bleach Bypass" filter available here (Well worth the money for the whole set but there is there is a demo version too).

  • Final Cut Pro now downloading onto a MacBook Pro

    I just bought a sweet MacBook Pro and my Final Cut Pro won't load. The message, "This software requires certain hardware or software whick is missing. AGP graphics card." comes up. Is there a problem with this computer or can Final Cut Pro 4 not run on a computer as updated as this? I also downloaded all of the updates for Final Cut. Please Help!!!!

    What's funny about this is that everything else works. Live Type works, Compressor works, DVD Studio Pro 3 works but Final Cut Pro HD needs to see an AGP graphics card. My MacBook Pro has a PCIe graphics card and not an AGP graphics card. You would think Apple would issue an update to FCP.
    Oh well not a big deal. I just sent in my FCP4 disc and Cross Grade form. $199.00 and you get the full FCP Studio. I'll be watching the mail like the kid from the movie "A Christmas Story" waiting for his decoder ring to show up. lol

  • Final cut pro crashing with slide show photos

    I am working with a large slide show - a few movie clips, but mostly still images from Aperture.  The photos were shot wtih a Nikon D300 in Raw, not that I think that matters much at all.
    Becasue this is a slide show I am working wth short durations for the images - usually 3:14.  Most of the transitions are simply cross dissolve, but some are more complex.
    I am getting again and again crashes - or the spinning color circle going to oblivion and requiring a Force Quit. 
    Either can happen when adding new material, moving arround existing material, or trying to reset durations, add text, different transitions, or working wth the Ken Burns options.  Sometimes it also happens when resizing the time line zoom level.   This marvelous feature seems the most consistent way of trashing the application so I tend to leave it alone.
    I may be able to work for an hour or only a few minutes.  Sometimes deleting and re-adding an image seems to help, but that may not be true - most of the time it's just simply random.   The system has 14 Gig Ram and I am using iCleanMemory now to see how much is in play.  A crash / freeze may occur with a lot or a little - usually looks like I have about 8.9 Gig in play for normal use of Final Cut and no clear change when it crashes / freezes.
    Clearly the images are compatible - they are from Aperture and there is no consistency in always the same image being the issue.  
    Below is the first part of the error report dump. 
    Hoping someone has an idea for how to overcome this.
    Appreciate the thoughts.
    Cheers -

    Well, I filmed many of those videos in HDV (the 2x2 wall, the 5x5 wall and some of the 10x10 wall). Plus I converted the whole project to HDV because it is the way I displayed it (thru camera to Plasma TV's) and I wanted the HD space to work with and since part of my videos were HDV I figured that would be best.
    Of course the DV footage is not so good quality, but when made very small for that big screen it looks fine I think. Yeah the AIC codec is great but it takes 4 times as much room, but you think that would work better hey?
    I just don't want Final Cut crashing like that. I don't care if it can't play it back in real time or it takes 10 seconds to display 1 frame.
    I have not used motion....would it work for what I did. Remember I used over 100 discreet video streams I had. I don't want to replicate the same layer...you get the drift.
    Did you see it in youtubes HD? What did you think of the quality?

  • Can't Find Final Cut Pro with my admin user!

    It was there, but I changed the name from the person I bought the macbook15 from and now all the settings and apps are set default.
    Is there a way my main account (set to admin) can find Final Cut Pro (and maybe others) to appear on hard drive without having to use the old name and password?
    If I create a new user with the name of the original account is simply says "Username already used". In other words, If I am to use the old username, I have to change my main admin account and go through that all over again.
    Admin should mean, total control of the computer...
    Also does deleting/changing the original user actually delete programs?? It shouldn't, the hard drive files should be left alone. I can't find Final Cut Pro on the drive at all, it seemed to only appear when I'm using the original user name.
    Thoughts....discussions??
    I'm using the latest Macbook Pro 15 and updates.

    Firewire port is not required to install Final Cut Pro. Take a look at the Final Cut Studio system requirements and cross-reference it with your system specifications to discover what hardware your computer is lacking.

  • Final Cut Pro X CRASHES every time I try to add a transition

    G'day - just wondering if anyone with this issue has found a solution ? Have seen some scatterings regarding this issue - but no real solutions. It's doing my head in - just trying to add a simple cross disolve will crash it everytime. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.

    Well, this actually got me somewhere!  Thanks so much, I can limp along now.
    I'm an audio guy by trade, so I had a ton of plugins installed.  Apparently, FCPx is just a poorly designed and inept at handling audio components.  All of my plugins are updated and 64-bit compliant, but apparently FCPx just can't handle audio components.  They all work fine in ProTools and Logic Pro X, but cause Final Cut Pro X to crash instantly.  They have to be removed from the Audio Components folder altogether for FCPx to run.  Even the brand new Waves bundles I just bought.
    It's frustrating that the only thing you can use in the plugin section are Apple's built-in utilities, but I can make do for now until I learn a replacement for FCPx.
    Thanks for the insight!

  • Every video put into Final Cut Pro exports in horrible quality regardless of format/settings.

    Hello fellow Mac enthusiasts,
    I'm having a problem which may or may not have been plaguing my studio since day one. Every video that we edit in Final Cut Pro exports in MUCH lower quality than it was when it was imported, not only that, the file size of the newly exported video is several times the size of the original. What I end up getting is a file too large for our clients to email around. We recently had a client come into our studio with a flash drive full of 15 second avi's no larger than 900 KB, he wanted a few of them edited together with simple cross fade transitions, and even a few seconds of dead space cut out. He needed them to be the highest quality possible for a powerpoint presentation he may now be unable to give. At first I exported them as Uncompressed avi's, best quality, thousands of colors, and no sound. The resulting file was not only blurrier, but now 260.5 MB!! And that one was with zero edits! The original was 803 KB and crystal clear. So after that I decided to try a few tests. We also produce a bi-weekly hour-long local television show, which looks fine on television but now I'm wondering how much better it could and should look. I've been exporting that out as a Quicktime, Apple ProRes 442 HQ, Interlaced bottom-field-first, zero filters, both compressor native and NTSC 720 X 480. I attempted this method on the client's original 803 KB with zero edits and not only did it export a completely unusable video compared to the original, but it was now 57.1 MB. What is going on here? Is Final Cut conspiring against me? I'm guessing it's something in my settings which I'll shamefully admit I know absolutely nothing about. Could anyone help a struggling video editor do his job?
    Joey

    Hey guys sorry it took me song long to respond it's been a busy week filled with many things not relating to final cut...
    In response to David's post, the original file is indeed larger than 720X480, though it's dimensions are not available to see in the 'more info' associated with the file itself. By comparison, the apple pro res LT file I exported through final cut of the same avi file is 720X480, and looks significantly worse.
    [URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/87/screenshotofavis.png/][IMG]http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/5421/screenshotofavis.png[/IMG][/URL]
    This was after I created a new project, made the sequence settings into Apple ProRes lt 30p under the audio/video settings in Final Cut, and exported it as the same with 'current' dimensions (it was listed as 850X637, maybe that was the original?) Although I did have to render the original avi itself once it was placed in the timeline. I guess there's no way to know exactly what sort of avi my original file is so I can match my sequence to it? The 'more info' (to be fair im sort of used to 'properties') leaves something to be desired..
    I guess my question is: what else can I change in my settings to leave the quality of the video intact, if anything?
    Thanks everyone.

  • IMovie to iDVD or Final Cut Pro to DVD studio pro "Better output"

    I recorded some family videos onto a computer with a WinTV pci board.
    Converted the MPEG2 to DV/DVCPro NTSC on my Mac with MPEG stremeclip.
    Used quicktime to divide the tapes/clips where we had switched recordings.
    Now i was going to use final cut pro but i am starting to like imovie 09.
    I want to take the clips and add simple fades mostly cross dissolve fade to black and just nothing something not noticeable. Then once I have combined the events reasonably. I want to put them onto DVD.
    Say our christmas videos
    One DVD with each year christmas event.
    And one for someone's birthdays through the years.
    If you need me to elaborate ill try harder.
    So should I use Final Cut Pro then have DVD studio make the DVDs Or iMovie 09 and iDVD 09. Which would have the best looking output.
    Oh by the way how can i remove the static feedback from the recordings I don't care which application i need tell me which one.
    If someone needs an example of the main sound i don't want ill post one.
    Note: I will be posting this in the Final Cut Pro forms as well.

    Since you have both, you should run both and see if you see a difference.
    I would expect that a $1,400 product would outperform a $20 product (= 1/4 of iLife).
    But the question is, How much better? and is it worth the extra effort to you? Only you can decide that.
    Another option for you to consider is you can edit in iMovie and export your project to Final Cut Pro in XML. Might be the best of both worlds.

  • Help. What format is best to export to for Final Cut Pro editing from PPCS5?

    Ok. So I really have no experience with Final Cut. After reading online for an hour about what formats to use, I was still left with no clear answer and confused. Here's my issue: I have 1080i 60i .tod files from my JVC ready to be batch exported from CS5 Encoder, I need a format that will be read and able to be edited on Final Cut Pro without issue.
    Could someone with Final Cut experience please chime in:
    What should I use exactly?
    Greatly appreciated,
    Nick

    Are you using Premiere on the same Mac that FCP is on? If so, your best format choice is QuickTime and codec choice would be ProRes422. If, however, you're on a different Mac or on a PC instead, I'd suggest QuickTime with the freely available, cross-platform Avid codecs. You'd probably want to use DNxHD, in that case.
    The Avid codecs are great because, well, they're free, but more importantly, they're available for both decoding AND encoding on Mac and PC. ProRes, on the other hand, only has an encoding component for Mac, and it has to have FCP installed on it.

  • Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 problems with LiveType & uninstall/reinstall missingCD

    Hi there. I am actually crossing my fingers hoping that people can help me with this issue of mine.
    I have been using full version of FCP HD 4.5 for a long while then I moved from an apt to a new apt, then I realized some of my previous FCP projects would not opened. After a long while figuring out what was the problem, and I realized if any of my projects that contain any LiveType project, my projects will not open. Why? I have no idea why? I am hoping someone might have the answer for this.
    So... I thought I would uninstall and reinstall everything, then I realized I might have misplaced my Final Cut install CD Luckily, I didn't delete the FC, so I decided to leave it on my hard drive. I went ahead and reinstall the rest, but I noticed LiveType doesn't show up at all except I was able to see LiveType Data. I couldn't see/find the LiveType Icon except the folder of LiveType Data. My another question is... was I supposed to have a LiveType installation CD along with the LiveType Data CD or that was the only installation CD I'm supposed to have? I thought I still have the list of items that Im supposed to have that came in the FCP HD 4.5 box... apparently, that is misplaced!
    Can anyone answer my questions--
    1. Why my FCP projects would not opened because of problems with LiveType & what is the problem?
    2. Was I supposed to have a LiveType installation CD along with the LiveType Data CD or that was the only installation CD I'm supposed to have?
    3. Is there a specific order that I am supposed to install FCP HD? Like I should install FCP first, then Motion 2nd, LiveType 3rd, & so forth? If so, please share it with me
    4. Can anyone please share with me on what installation CDs I was supposed to have from FCP HD 4.5? I want to make sure I have everything, which I know I do not, or I can look for specific CD(s).
    This is what I have (they may be for other program that I must have mixed it all together)--
    1. Final Cut Pro HD HD Sampler (obviously that is NOT the actual FCP HD 4.5 installation CD, right?)
    2. Motion Install
    3. Motion Content
    4. Apple Loops for Soundtrack
    5. DVD Studio Pro 3
    6. Live Type Data (1 of 2)
    7. Live Type Data (2 of 2)
    8. Peak 3 Express
    Any suggestions or answers will be SO MUCH appreciated!
    Thank you for taking the time to read this and answer my questions if you can
    Carrie

    Thank you, Nick.
    Shoot. That means I did misplaced my FCP installation disk!
    I still don't understand why my FCP projects that contains LiveType wouldn't opened! I need to get most of them opened! Argggghhh.
    I am curious ... is there any other program similar to LiveType (like creating exciting texts) that I can use to work with FCP?
    Lemme know! Thanks

  • TA26012 Has anyone used keyring 808 spy camera with an itouch and rendered with good results in final cut pro ?

    I am using spy camera 808 which has the same 1280 by 720 H264 AAC as an itouch for filming.
    Problems occour in fincal cut pro 6.06 on export if i export 808 on its own no issue the issue is the itouch messes up the time liine on sound video, example 20 min video 10 mins 808 and 10 mins itouch equals 12 mins.
    So has anyone actualy with the power pc g5 and final cut pro 6.06 had a method where it is succseful for a simple export to quicktime ?
    Just tried it with itouch in final cut and fcpro says does not match settings so i let fcpro choose audio needed render that was it export of 5 mins came out as 30 seconds.
    So question stands has anyone found a suitable way to bring in itouch video and export in final cut with out issues.?
    ps i brought the video in with "image capture" and iphoto no change.
    email here if you would [email protected]

    My plan is as follows:
    -Make a full backup copy of System Drive on an external drive
    -Boot from OS Install Disc > use Disk Utility to Erase/Write Zeros to drive
    -Install Snow Leopard
    -Install FCP, etc.
    -Delete "Capture" directory from external "Scratch Disk"
    -Transfer all remaining files to another external drive
    -Reformat "Scratch Disk
    -Cross fingers
    -Begin transcoding process again---frequently checking files for errors
    I'll let you know how it goes. Still open to other thoughts and suggestions...

  • Send to Final Cut Pro in Color off an external Hard Drive, causes Color to Crash

    Okay, so I'm having some Color issues guys...
    I'm color correcting a feature right now, and just completed the CC with Color. I did the entire color correct on an internal hard drive on a Mac Pro. My client wanted to take a look at the CC on a different machine, so I transferred all of the FCP files, Color Projects, footage, etc. (the ENTIRE directory from my machine) onto an external hard drive....
    ...When I opened the color project from the external drive on his machine, all of my media was gone, so of course I reconnected the media (directly from the source, the same source files I edited with in FCP), and everything was fine. My grades were there, and everything looked great....
    ....I rendered my Color sequence and tried to Send To Final Cut Pro, and color crashed on me. It continued to do this....
    ....I went back to my machine and tried to Send To Final Cut Pro, and everything worked just fine. What went wrong with the data transfer? Is that the reason Color keeps crashing? Is it because I relinked the footage in Color to the original source files? It doesn't make sense to me. All of the data from the original drive was moved to an external and relinked.
    I'm pretty new to Color so any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much!
    -Chris

    Copy the original project and media to the external drive using Media Manager. It will maintain the links.
