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.)

Final cut studio 3, quicktime pro

just installed final cut studio on new laptop.
i thought it came with quicktime pro, but can only find quicktime.
does that mean another $29 investment?
if it's there, where can i find it?
many thanks,
berniej

I found this thread after having the same problem. I went through the steps suggested, but it didn't help me. I still have the regular QT instead of the Pro version. Any thoughts?

I am traveling with my macbook pro and I forgot to install final cut express and quicktime pro before I left. How can I in a way download them for free on my laptop from where I am

I am traveling with my macbook pro and I forgot to install final cut express and quicktime pro before I left. How can I in a way download them for free on my laptop from where I am? I need them and don't want naturally to buy them again!!!
Thank you

Assuming you purchased QT Pro, you can always download it again at no extra charge by logging in to your Apple account.
Regarding FCE, there is no way to download & install the product. You need an original FCE install disk and your FCE serial number.
Final Cut Pro X (aka FCPX) can be purchased & downloaded from the App Store.

Does final cut express have the functionality like macromedia flash 8?

does final cut express have the functionality like macromedia flash 8? I'm looking to compile my movie for easy viewing on the internet

The link of my 3-minute video of Native American Indian dancing (above) has been changed to: http://www.goliveusa.com/MoviesFlv/PowWow.html
where it should remain for at least the next two years.
Part of this change has to do with a discontent with .Mac, thought that is certainly a topic for another forum.
Since back here at this thread, and considering the initial forum topic, I'd guess it would be appropriate to ask: "What is meant by the term: functionality?"
FCE is a a video editing program. Flash 8 is graphic animation program.
You can incorporate video into Flash 8 and do extra animation with it.

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.

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:

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.

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 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
Bryan

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.

Final cut studio and macbook pro

hi i have final cut studio 2 currently installed on my imac, and it kinda slows my general use of the computer
i bought a new macbook pro (the new one with aluminum casing), but its only the base, and i have not upgraded it in any way, so it is as it comes
and basically i was wondering, if i installed the entire final cut studio 2 (and aperture), how would it affect the general speed of the machine when doing other general tasks not FCS related:
a) while FCS is running
and b) while it is not running
i also want to run games off of my MBP so i really dont want to compromise speed

It needs to be filled with RAM, and when running Pro Apps, in the faster graphics processor mode. Mail, etc. will likely run fine along side them. I'd not play games when rendering though.
When they don't run, they don't affect anything but disk space 60 gigs for it all including Templates... RAM is the key to running multiple apps on any given Mac.
Nice Mac too. I just saw one the other day for the first time. I love that new trackpad the most. It's likely a lot faster than my 2.3 laptop, and I can run all the apps at the same time no problem with it. But ya need to fill up the RAM. I like that it's so green.

Final Cut Studio on MacBook Pro

Will all Final Cut Studio 2 programs and features run efficiently on a new MacBook Pro 13"? If not, what MacBook Pro would be the cheapest to run it on?

Greetings,
I just upgraded to a new 3.06 GHz 17 inch MacBookPro with 4 GB of RAM from the previous generation 17 inch MacBookPro with a 2.33 GHz processor. I have noticed a tremendous increase in performance and ability to render and export with ease and alacrity.
Having said that, my general question is: Does anyone have any general advice for hardware/ video setup configurations? I am very well versed with iMovie (ha!), and now I am seriously trying to graduate to Final Cut Studio. I have made a few clips and played around with various transitions, filters, etc, but does anyone have advice for what settings I should be using?
Oh yeah, I have a Sony AVCHD Camcorder (HDR-CX7)... I am not a fan of the CMOS chip, but nonetheless, it is what I have at the moment.
Any feedback will be appreciated.
Cheers.

Final Cut Studio Fail After Pro Application Update 2010-1

Final Cut Pro crashes when loading project.
Motion crashes when loading project.
Compressor won't allow me to "submit" my batch from the 'name batch' stage.
I didn't try DVD Studio or Color.
Problems started as soon as I updated. Anyone else have similar problems? I tried dumping my system preferences but that didn't help. I haven't modified or customized FCS at all, I don't have any unusual plugins - I hardly even set up customized window configurations.
Using latest Final Cut Studio (MB642Z/A)
Final Cut Pro 7.0
Compressor 3.5
Motion 4
Running OS X 10.6.2
3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 21.5" iMac
8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Thank you for any feedback. If others have similar problems, I can wait for next update (hopefully soon) otherwise I have no clue where to start.

Final Cut Studio destroyed Quicktime in Safari

I just installed Final Cut Studio on my Macbook running 10.4.7 which installs version 7.1.2 of quicktime pro. But now Safari won't play any quicktime movies though my Firefox and Flock browsers will play QTmovies. I'd download and reinstall quicktime normally but Final Cut Studio doesn't give me a serial number for QTPro so I suspect that if I reinstall quicktime I'll wind up with no more quicktime pro or at the minimum I'd have to uninstall Final Cut Studio and reinstall to get QTPro and might be back in the same loop
Anyone have any experience with this or think of a way around getting Safari to show quicktime movies?

Yes...it "unlocks" Quicktime Pro.

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 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.
