Does Final Cut Studio Academic get Updates?

I was wondering if i was eligible for updates. I got my software when I was a student and I have been getting the Updates within the 5.0 + version.
However, when I went to get the 6.0 update off the Apple site, and put in my Academic serial number, it said it did not recognize it (after several ensured attempts)... Anyone know wussup?

Academic versions are not eligible for the major upgrades. 5.0 to 5.0.4...5.1 to 5.1.4...yes. 5.1 to 6.0? No. That is one of the reasons the Academic version is cheap. To allow you to learn the application while in school. When you leave, then it is time to buy it for real...if you want the new version.
It is all in the Academic license.

  • Do I have to reinstall final cut studio to get quicktime 7 pro to unlock?

    I have installed Final Cut Studio 2
    Then when I noticed the Quicktime 7 Pro was not there I did some research, Found Quicktime 7 on the Snow Leopard EXTRA disk and installed it.
    Now, do I have to RE-install Final Cut Studio to get Quicktime 7 pro to unlock?
    I scoured the forums and couldn't find anything. If there is something please lead me to it.

    This isn't related to your query, just a note to say that you've marked this topic as answered (at the time at which I'm making my reply). It might be best to mark it as "not answered" again, just in case folks pass over it assuming that it has been resolved.

  • Does Final Cut Studio require Adminstrative rights to work

    Does Final cut Studio require Admin rights or will it run as a standard user
    I know that it has to be in Admin to install

    If properly installed it will run on any type of account.

  • Final Cut Studio Academic Version

    I purchased Final Cut Studio Academic Version in 10/08 and used it just once.  It is in "like new" condition complete with manuals
    and original packaging.  I want to resell it but want to make sure it will be available to another user.  Also, where do you think I should
    price it, as I realize it is not "upgradeable".  Thanks!

    Is this Final Cut STudio 2, or Studio 3?  Studio 2 is like 5 years old...has FCP 6.  SOMEONE might find it useful.  But Studio 3 is the most current, and a lot of people would find that useful.

  • How many licences does Final Cut Studio Support?

    How many licences does Final Cut Studio Support? Its the latest one (3) btw. The one that has FCP 7
    Any input is highly appreciated

    It can be installed on (1) desktop and (1) laptop, and you cannot use them at the same time. The idea is that you use the application when you are in your office, and if you need to go on the road, you can use it there, while the one in the office is not in use. 

  • Does Final Cut Studio 2 work with Lion?

    Does Final Cut Studio 2 work with Lion?

    As Final Cut Studio consists of several applications, either go to your System Profiler under Apple menu -> About This Mac -> More Info, and select Applications to determine which applications are PowerPC, or visit this website and check the version info of each application to see what works and what doesn't:

  • Final Cut Studio Academic Version - confused buyer.

    Hello,
    I am about to buy Final Cut Studio 2 using the Academic Discount Program. I know that by purchasing the academic version I will not be able to upgrade. When I access the page (viewing it as a student) where I can see the different types of "Pro Design" softwares that I can buy, I see two "Final Cut Studio 2". One is Final Cut Studio 2 and the other one is Final Cut Studio 2 Academic. Both cost the same $699. When I select Final Cut Studio 2 it does not say that this is an upgrade version.
    I'm afraid of selecting the one that does NOT have the word Academic because it might be an upgrade version even though it doesn't say.
    Help!
    Thank you...
    A humble confused customer....

    Hi DH,
    Thanks for your response. I would easily get the one that says academic, but if I have the option of buying the non-academic version for the same price as the academic I rather buy the non-academic one. I am confused because the website does not say that the non-academic one is an upgrade version, but when I called 1-800-MY-APPLE, the guy told me that is an upgrade version. I told him the website does not say it is and that is why I got confused.
    Thanks again...

  • Use Final Cut Studio Academic on multiple computers ?

    I bought Final Cut Studio 3 academic version for my Mac. However, I have another person who is helping me edit the film project. Is it ok to install the same s/w using the same discs and serial number on her computer as well ? Does the s/w licence cover multiple computer use ?

    Here's the exact wording from the Software License Agreement (SLA):
    "2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.
    A. Apple Software (Bundle)
    Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you are granted a limited non-exclusive license to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on one Apple-branded desktop computer and one Apple-branded laptop computer so long as both computers are owned and used by you.

  • Final Cut Studio 5 not updating in software update

    I have final cut studio 5, which I upgraded to from FCP4 through their update program and 199.00. When I run software update, no updates show up for any of the pro applications.
    When I had FCP4 on my old computer, the updates used to show up and I could install all of them directly from software update. I know that their are updates, cause I can manually download them off of the apple site, but they never show up in software update. does anyone know why this would be happening?
    Could it be a confliction due to some sort of registration issue? or does apple just not use software update as a means of updating the pro applications anymore? Thanks in advance for any help.

    I am running version 5.1 It just dawned on me that I have all of my pro apps in a folder called "final cut studio" does software update seach the applications folder to see if certain apps are installed, a if so, would this be why it isn't seeing it and not showing the updates?

  • Final Cut Studio Academic Upgrade to FCS 2??

    So, I just recently bought the Final Cut Studio 5.1 set, but seeing as how I'm a broke college kid, I bought the academic. Can I still upgrade to Final Cut Studio 2? Do I just buy the 499 upgrade? Just a little curious. Thanks in advance

    Sadly you cannot. However, if you are a college student, you can always acquire the full academic FCS2 for the academic price. If you check the Apple website (store) it's quite clear on these issues, both when you buy and when you try to upgrade.
    It's actually less expensive in the long term to buy a full version and then upgrade. That is, if you're planning on staying with the FCS ship for some time.

  • Does Final Cut Studio run on a standard Macbook Pro

    Hi,
    I have seen Final Cut Studio 2 and it looks superb.
    Before I buy it, I want to make sure...does it run on a Macbook Pro with 2GB memory and an ATI X1600 PCIe graphics card? (Standard Macbook Pro 15" 2.33GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo)
    Do I need anything else? The Apple website is not fully clear about it (I think).
    Thanks for your reply.
    Frank
    Macbook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Minimum Requirements to Install All Final Cut Studio Applications
    * A Macintosh computer with a 1.25GHz or faster PowerPC G4, PowerPC G5, Intel Core Duo, or Intel Xeon processor
    * 1GB of RAM
    * An AGP or PCI Express Quartz Extreme graphics card (Final Cut Studio is not compatible with integrated Intel graphics processors)
    * A display with 1024-by-768 resolution or higher
    * Mac OS X v10.4.9 or later
    * QuickTime 7.1.6 or later
    * A DVD drive for installation
    Is the ATI X1600 in my Macbook Pro a PCI Express Quartz Extreme graphics card?
    Thanks for your welcome...when I know it works and have installed it, I will be here more often I guess

  • How long does final cut studio crossgrade mail take?

    Hey there, forgive me if this is the wrong place to ask this.
    I sent in my final cut studio discs with filled out form in about 4 days ago regular mail.
    I scanned the discs before i sent them off and of course I still have my paperwork (serials) and all that.
    What bothers me is that I check the status and there is no record of it.
    there is also a field that is required for "company" and I dont have a company name so I have no idea if this is screwing up the whole look up.
    Anyway, its probably that they havent recieved my discs yet, since 4 days isnt very long.
    BUT, can anyone clue me in on how long it took to get their universal versions nial cut studio?

    It took mine almost 2 weeks. It took almost a week for mine to show up on the status and when it did, it said backordered. Stayed that way for 4 or 5 days, then got an e-mail saying they had been shipped. Got them this past Saturday.
    Company name doesn't matter. I didn't fill in one on the original form and didn't when used the status form.

  • Does Final Cut Studio deliver better quality than Final Cut Express

    If my export target is Apple-TV 720p, is there any difference between the quality delivered in Final Cut Express versus the new Final Cut Studio? E.g. is it the same because Quicktime is doing it? I read something on the FCS home page that it "adapted the quality to the video content"? So would FSC somehow be better at utilizing the maximum 5Mbps data stream compared to FCE? Thanks.
    -Troels

    +is there any difference between the quality delivered in Final Cut Express versus the new Final Cut Studio?+
    Not really, not per se, for this purpose. There are many factors at play, very important among them is the nature of your source media - if it is shot on a high quality camera and captured in ProRes or one of the other higher quality codecs supported by FCS then maybe you would see a difference. What are you using?

  • How well does Final Cut Studio run with 3gb of ram? Macbook Pro 2.33mhz

    I have a 2.33mhz (Model a1211) Macbook Pro. I've maxed out the ram to 4gb but because of the motherboard restrictions (that I still don't quite understand) it can only use 3GB.
    I've read on the FCS specs that the minimum is requirement is 1GB but Apple recommends 4GB.
    I cut mainly short 3 to 5 minute pieces with AVCHD video decoded with up to 60-90 minutes of footage.
    Will I have any serious issues with any of the Final Cut Studio Programs that I should be aware of?
    I'm obviously not expecting Mac Pro results but If it doesn't run very well with 3GB, I might have to rethink my purchase. If it is just a "hiccup" now and then with waiting for video to start or such, I will deal.
    Thanks

    Motion is gfx intensive. Meaning that the lower the gfx card, the lower the performance. You should expect little-to-no realtime performance from Motion on the system mentioned with even basic-to-remotely-intermediate animations. CPU RAM will make a difference in the amount of total frames that you can render in a RAM preview, but it will not affect realtime performance. With your proposed system: add a particle, a lower third text, a replicator with 5,000 points, a light with some shadows, and a reflection (and this is one of each mind you, not multiple instances) and expect around a * less than * 1-3 fps playback in draft quality with %50-%25 playback resolution. Then expect to wait up to a minute or more with the beachball of death for each parameter change. No joke either. Good luck fine-tuning your moderate-to-even-remotely-complex animation with your desired system.
    If working in Motion is your desire, then focus on the graphics card. Unfortunately you can not upgrade your gfx card on the MBP, so you should consider selling your MBP and investing in a Mac Pro. You can upgrade the gfx card in the Mac Pro and obtain optimal performance from Motion. Otherwise you'll literally be stuck in the mud with your animations.

  • Does Final Cut Studio have QuickTime Pro?

    I have Final Cut Studio. I have been told part of the package is QuickTime Pro. If this is true, how do I activate it?

    How do you backup registration information? Is this something done routinely by Time Machine?
    Most of my applications have a registration code and either a purchaser name or email address. I am simply creating TextEdit files containing this information and storing them in a centralized folder which is then copied to each of my RAID drives for archiving, as well as, 2 USB thumb dives for mobile access. In addition, since Apple no longer backs up my QT MPEG-2 Playback component, I am storing the last three versions of this component on the same storage devices. As to Time Machine, it backs up changes to applications and documents which may or may not include the registration information depending on how it is stored relative to the application to which it refers. Unfortunately, I may manipulate hundreds of GBs of video data in a single day so I had to turn off Time Machine because it was not able to keep up will all the changes. The Time Machine-like routines that track changes at the application level under Lion are good enough for my normal daily work. My main interst is the protection of several TBs of archived documents and projects on the external RAID drives. If push comes to shove on the main system, I can always re-initialize/replace the internal drive and re-install the System OS and applications. (I.e., I don't keep anything on the internal or external boot drives that I can't afford to lose.)
