Where can I go to find some information about the differences or anything to be aware of when I upgrade from FCP 5.1.4 to FC Studio 2/FCP 6?
Thanks!

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.

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...

Constant Crashes with Specific FCP X Project.

Hey all,
I've just recently upgraded to a 27" iMac with 24 gigs of ram, 2 gigs of video ram, 3.2 GHz i5, 1 TB Fusion drive, and I'm editing in FCP X.
I'm running the latest Mountain Lion. 10.8.3
I'm doing a project now and I'm getting towards the end of it, and it's starting to crash. At first it only happened a few times, but now it's just about every 2-3 minutes. It seems as if I can switch to another project / event and work just fine without any crashes. However it's not cooperating with this one specific (and important) project.
I've dumped the prefs files and uninstalled / reinstalled the only third part app I'm using. (Magic Bullet Looks 2.1.0)
Yes I have the current FCP X Version.
Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
Here is a screenshot of the crash report.

When just one project is causing problems, it's usually a sign of a corrupt file or files.
Unless you can find which one(s) you will not be able to finish the project.
If you can remember when it started you could remove that part of the project to see if there is an improvement.
There's no easy answer.

Can you transfer media captured in Final Cut Studio to a FCP 4.1 project

Hi
I batch captured some media on my G4 Powerbook with the FC Studio software and I want to add it to a FCP 4.1 project on my G5 dual 1.8 and when I transfer the files from the Powerbook to the G5 and try to import to the 4.1 project, I get a file corrupted message. Does that mean that Final Cut Studio is not backward compatible. If so . . any suggestions on a work around?
thanks

Just to clarify, you are trying to import the Quicktime movies that you captured using Final Cut Studio or are you trying to open a FCStudio project in FC 4.1?
If it is the former, ensure that you have captured your QT movies correctly (DV, 24P, HD, what format are you capturing). FCP 4.1 should read the captured clips in just fine.
If it is the latter (opening FCStudio projects in 4.1) you can export the project as an XML file and import that XML file into 4.1 and the project is essentially rebuilt. You may/will have to re-render and some transitions might break, but your timeline should be pretty much in tact.
Good luck and I hope this helps.

Why my final cut pro 5 in install disc look dim and saying upgrade. I make it with studio upgrade to FCP 7. Now saying FCP 5 upgrade and dim

Hi, I used Final cut 5 and 1 year ago I buy it studio upgrade and I make 7. Everything was ok. Now I changed my computer again with mac pro. I started to install in new computer and I see Final Cut Pro 5 dim and saying upgrade. Was not optional cause for dim..Want it 2 media disc too and look like ok but not working..cant started studio upgrade. Anyone can say something please ?

There's no need to install the old version (5) of FCP on the new computer. Just start with the newest version. You will be prompted to enter the old serial number during the install process of the upgrade version.
If you've already installed version 5 on your new computer, use this to remove it:http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/ Then install the newest version only.

Xml file from studio 2 to fcp 4.5

Hi I have my son on the other side of the world to me just now, we shot a short film on DVCPRO 720/25p I loged on my mac and made a copy for him to take and edit, all good so far.
The school has fcp 4.5 qt 7.6 (ithink) and of course he is working on a version and the version I am so I have sent him a xml file which should match v1.
when loading it stops at 50% now would that have to do with the fact that 4.5 dose not like dcvpro as this was shot on 25p in his setting there are only 24 30 60 no 50 or 25, i can remember, back then there was a plugin to get it to work is there any one who can spread some light on what to do.
Many thanks
Trevor

This XML file is the complete contents of the Browser?
If so, does an export of a single sequence - if only for testing purposes - make any difference?

Can you put Pinnacle Studio Files and FCP files on an IDVD project?

Just wondering...we have some old footage that I would like to put into an iDVD project...has anyone ever done this before? I was going to try tonight.....
Thanks!
Aubry

Hi Aubry
FCP - just export out as a full quality QuickTime .mov file. Import into iDVD.
Pinnacle - don't know - iDVD just uses QT.mov files.

Upgrade Studio Pro without FCP

I have DVD Studio Pro 2. I want to upgrade to 3 or 4. But the only thing I can find is packaged in the Final Cut Studio 4, for 700 bucks. I don't need the other upgrades, just DVD Studio Pro. Is is possible to upgrade just DVD Studio Pro? Thanks.

Not any more other than eBay.

Upgrade to Final Cut Studio 2 from FCP problem

Hello,
I'm trying to install Final Cut Studio 2 upgrade from Final Cut Pro or Production Suite, during the installation process, when i have to insert the original serial number of my older Fina Cut studio, installer show me an error message telling that my serial number is invalid!
What can i do? Both products are original!
Thanks

Call Apple if you're really sure that you are entering the numbers correctly. ones can look like L's and zero's look like Ohs... etc..
Here's a read on install issues too: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303184 Might help... if it doesn't though, Apple will fix you right up.

Will Final Cut Studio 2 HD and FCP 7 Upgrade load on newest OS?

I have Final Cut Studio HD and an FCP 7 Upgrade on my old system. Looking to buy a new iMac and wondered if I could load Studio 2 and FCP 7 on the newest OS?
Any insight is appreciated!

Forgot to mention, although it will install it isn't officially supported by Apple anymore. Just in case someone jumps in to point it out.

Trying to compare FCP with Media 100 for a Public Access studio

Hi all,
I am new here. I do most of the review of products for our Public Access studio. We have a couple of existing Media 100 systems and we are considering adding or upgrading our NLE capabilities. Our studio manager had a chance to look at FCP being used at our high school and she came back with a number of impressions that I wonder about and would like to vet with people who know more about FCP. So, any comments would be helpful.
The high school media person demo’d FCP for her and let her play with it a bit. After looking at it herself, she says she would definitely say Media 100 is easier to understand/use, especially if you've never used non-linear editing before. That is fairly typical of the people doing Public Access production in our town.
However, it looks to her like there are a lot of tools that come with FCP that Media 100 either doesn't have or are not easily found in it. For example, she feels FCP’s set up looks more complicated and confusing compared to Media 100’s, but in FCP you can have up to 99 video lines in a program, where with Media 100 we're just going back and forth between the a and b video lines. Plus you can have up to 99 Audio tracks on FCP as well, where our max at the moment is 8. Now as to when you would need 99 video or audio tracks, she is not sure, but it is definitely a capability that we don't have in Media 100.
Titling looked easier to her on Media 100. With FCP there were a lot of filters involved and hoops to jump through, plus she couldn't do a word with each letter a different color, for example, unless she did each letter on a different track.
The media person warned her that FCP is really large. Apparently the program itself takes up like 35 GB of space on the hard drive, and a typical 30 min. project comes in at over 100 GB! She couldn't believe it, but she was assured it’s true. Even with our longest programs, like like a School Committee meeting thqat went 3 1/2 hours, it would came in at a max of 30 GB on the Media 100. She got the impression this big difference was so because Final Cut renders everything you do, including rendering any edits you make on your footage as new files, and stores it all in a huge folder. She thinks with Media 100, you import the footage and use it as is - the only things it will render are screen freezes, transitions, and color effects. Is that sort of comparison correct (and fair), or is something being missed?
She says in her experience that something like iMovie is the most basic as far as what you can do, then Ulead would be a step above that- the editing is basically the same, but you have a few more options. Media 100 would be next as far as ease of use and understanding of the program. FCP seemed a little confusing even to her. Comments or insights?
G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Welcome to the family, maybe.
I switched from M100 about four years ago, I was never so glad to give that company the boot. A direct comparison just isn't possible but I'll try to answer some questions. There is a Media 100 forum on creativecow.net.
she says she would definitely say Media 100 is easier to understand/use, especially if you've never used non-linear editing before.< </div>
Yes, absolutely, M100 has always had an elegant and refined interface. However, the paradigm in FCP is not opaque. It's far more interesting, deeper, more complex. So, yes, it's a bit tougher to grasp. But don't sell your students/users short. They'll get it.
99 tracks is marketing BS. The serious work is done with nesting. How many public access pieces need more than 5 or 10 video tracks?
Titling in FCP depends on third party filters like Boris or tools like LiveType and Motion. The basic titling tools in FCP are lame and difficult to use, in my opinion, compared to the elegant titler in M100 (as long as you don't launch Graffiti).
The installation includes tens of gigs of animation, movie and music loop resources that you don't need to load. The suite includes Motion, LiveType, Soundtrack Pro, DVD Studio Pro and FCP.
If you're shooting DV, a 3-1/2 hour show is, umm, well, you look it up, DV is DV. But if you're capturing 3 hours from each of three cameras, that's a lot of DV.
Rendering depends on lots of things. M100's native codec handles lots of realtime stuff that FCP can't unless you've got a huge Macintosh. Previewing is not a big deal at lower rez in FCP, you get used to it. .
FCP is really scary. You can look at thousands of "I'm in way over my head, HELP!" posts here. But all those folks find they slip right into the Apple paradigm, the weirdly new workflow and start exploring the wide new world of serious editing that FCP opens up. You'll hate it for a few months because it's so dramatically different from M100. You'll love it, though.
If you want to continue the thread, give the rest of the disaffected former M100 users a few days to post their comments. There are many of us here. Then maybe start a new thread, one question at a time.

Is the latest version of FCP studio compatible with Radeon X1600 graphics..

I read under the requirements that the latest version of FCP studio is not compatible with "integrated graphics cards"... what does that mean to me with an iMac that has a Radeon X1600 with 128MB and a bus type PCIe? Will it work?
Thanks!

Final Cut Studio 2 (with FCP 6) runs just fine on my 2.0 GHz 20" iMac CD, which has a 128 MB ATI Radeon X1600 with an external display (1280x1024) connected via DVI.
