FC Studio Vs FC Studio Academic

Hi
I couldn't find a discussion forum for Final Cut Studio that didn't pertain to content creation, so my apologies if this is in the wrong forum.
I just wanted to check what the difference between FC Studio and FC Studio Academic were, besides that you can't use the Academic version to create content for commercial use. Is there any actual difference in the applications themselves?

There are two differences between the retail and academic versions:
1 Only full time students as well as faculty and staff of bona fide schools are eligible for the discounted Academic version.
2. Academic versions are not upgradable.
There are no restrictions on use of the content of the material created with the software.

    Seems that you have to update Logic to the latest version (9.0.15) to get it to work in Lion.

  • Just purchased Logic Studio Academic Version off ebay.  serial code is invalid. HELP!!!!

    I just purchased Logic Studio (academic version) off ebay.  It was only 200$.  When i received it, it was factory sealed and everything, and had the serial number.  However, when I entered the number it consistently gave me the "serial number is invalid".  I know its not any problems with how I entered the code, because I checked all my 0's and O's and 1's and L's.  I also entered it about 30 times.  I'm kind of freaking out.  Any suggestions on how to fix this problem? Or am i just screwed?....

    You could call AppleCare or Customer Support...

  • 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.

  • What is the difference between logic studio academic version and the normal version ?

    what is the difference between logic studio academic version from the other versions ?

    No difference... the Academic version cannot be upgraded to the next major revision.
    If you had putchased the Logic 9 academic version you get all the updates 9.0, 9.03, 9.1, 9.3...etc
    When Logic 10 rolls around you would have to purchase the application at full price, your version isn't elgible for the upgrade price.
    Same software as the retail version though.

  • Academic proof for FC Studio Academic

    Hi
    Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, couldn't figure out where else to post.
    I am interested in buying Final Cut Studio Academic online but can't figure out what type of academic proof will be required/if this to be scanned, faxed etc. Anybody bought academic Apple software online before?
    Thanks!!

    Why don't you order it and see.
    In my experience, the usually want a current ID card, a letter stating enrollment or something similar.
    If you order through AcademicSuperStore.com, all you need is for your name to show up in the University's web site as currently employed/ matriculating.

  • 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.

  • 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 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...

  • Installing Logic Studio (Academic) over Logic Pro 8 (Academic)

    Hello -
    I just purchased Logic Studio (9?) and have 8 on my computer. Will the install overwrite the significant files, or should I delete 8 before I install? Is there a doc somewhere which indicates where the files that aren't relevant to the new release (but were to 8) are so I can do some housekeeping?
    Thanks!

    To continue to use Applications that require Rosetta in Lion (such as Logic Studio 8), consider installing Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) into Parallels 7 in Lion:

  • 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.

  • Final cut studio academic 2

    We are looking into buying my daughter a macbook for school. She will need final cut for her video production class. Will the standard macbook run this?

    Welcome to the forum.
    The MacBook will run FCP but not Color or Motion.
    A much, much better choice is the MacBookPro.
    It will run more RAM, has a better video card, has the expresscard 34 slot and is an all round more capable machine.

    fwiw: Tell your daughter to show up here and participate - she needs to learn to advocate for herself - and this is the best support site for FCP. We growl but don't bite ... much.

  • Install Error when trying to install Measurement Studio 7.0

    I am receiving two erros when trying to install Measurement Studio 7.0:
    "The installer cannot setup Measurement Studio for Visual C++ while Visual C++ is open. Please make sure Visual C++ is closed and click ok."
    "Although you have the proper version of Visual C++ installed on your system, it is not configured properly. To correct this problem, run Visual C++ and exit it, then run this installer."
    I am running Windows XP and have installed Visual Studio.net Academic Edition. Will Measurement Studio work with Visual Studio Academic Edition, or do I need the professional edition? What can I do to solve this problem?

    Hello
    Are you installing the Measurement Studio support CD and having this problem? If you are using Visual Studio .NET 2003, you don't need to install the Measurement Studio support CD ( check my post here).
    Hope this helps

  • I Can't install my NEW Final Cut Studio 2

    I Can't install my NEW Final Cut Studio 2;During the initial installation process the applications are dimmed and it tells me that I have to upgrade the previous version, but my "previous" version is Final Cut Studio "ACADEMIC" (FCP 5) which doesn't allow upgrades!. When I enter the previous version's serial # it refuses it and the serial # of the new one doesn't allow me to install. I paid full price for the new FCS2 because I am not elegible to upgrade from an "academic" version... Anyone with a solution... Urgent. I am to start a new project/new client on Monday am
    thanks in advance

    Did you uninstall the 1st version with AppZapper? Gotta be some registry type files still lingering around.
    Thanks for your response.
    I installed using the conventional DVD's sent by Apple. I installed them on my previous computer a MacBook Pro and it was copied with the rest of its contents when upgrading to my new MacPro.

  • Installing FCP Studio Uninstall Express HD 3.5?

    I just bought FCP studio(Academic Version), but before I install it should I uninstall Express(version above.) ? Live Type ? Soundtrack? I was planning on using Express on another machine so would like to have these programs on that since I paid for both.
    MacProG5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    You do not need FCE HD 3.5 before you install FCS. The installation for FCS will be shorter because LifeType (including livetime fonts (about 6GB) don't need to install. You can use both versions on one machine. However when you install FCE HD on another machine you may not use the program (FCE HD) the same time. Look in the legal information.
