FCP Update to 5.0

My update went well or at least it works, however, I have a new JVC PRO/HD50 cassett player/record that my apple can't find. I've check and says, "Unknown" I'am using 6pin to 6pin firewire. When I'm booting up FCP it says, "missing apple fire wire 720x480" I go into my FCP>view>video play back, none is check, but if I check all frames, the screen go black and have to hit Cntrl;Q to quit. ...have a better idea on having FCP recog. my JVC Unit/Deck. I have shot DV and SD format that I would like to load. Thanks Kevin

Sounds like problems in FCP.
Try getting the newest updates, such as Final Cut Pro 5.0.4, it's resloving more and more camera issues while as it progresses.

  • Resizing of images after FCP update not working. When I try to resize, It resizes a blank transparent image.

    I am having trouble resizing images after I installed the FCP update. When I press the transform button, and then click on teh image, I go to the little blue dots on the side of the image that usually resize the image, and when I drag them out, instead of the image resizing, a black trasparent rectangle the same size as the photo expands outward to my desired size. This has happened to me before the update when trying to resize text, but the problem usually fixed itself once I clicked again on the text line in the editing section.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Russ,
    It doesn't work that way either, however it's okay because I solved the problem. Turns out I had to select 'add keyframe' on either the 'crop' or 'distort' tabs and it fixes itself. No idea why but the problem is solved! Thanks for your help anyhow.

  • Installing latest FCP update

    Hi
    I'm sure I'm overcomplicating an easy question but here goes....I have had to buy another G5 whilst my existing machine is being repaired by Apple.
    I have a project last saved in FCP version 6.0.3.
    I've re-installed FCP 6 on the new G5, but Apple did not install the Airport card I paid for. Ergo I can't get a net connection to download the FCP updates. Meaning I can't open the project since I'm stuck on FCP version 6.0.
    I know the easiest thing to do is take the new G5 back and get them to install the darn airport card. But the nearest Apple shop is 100 miles away.
    Finally the question: Is there a way I can copy the update files from my macbook pro onto a CD and finally the G5? If there is where do I find them on the disk to burn across? Many thanks for any help.+*
    Ben

    Just hook up your G5 via an ethernet cable.

  • FCP Update 5.1.4

    I too seem to need the latest FCP Update 5.1.4... been a registered user for years now and can't seem to bring it up... anyone know where i can find it?
    PULEEEASE?

    well i tried that sight, and the closest i could get to the update was the Pro App update... still nothing so far.. my biggest problem right now is, thinking 5.1.4 could help, is that the program freezes nearly every time i try to do some rendering... any one have any ideas as to why?

  • FCP Update 5.1.2 problem

    Wondering if anybody has this same problem?
    Last night, like a good Apple plebe, I loaded all the updates Apple recommended:
    FCP Update 5.1.2
    Mac OS X Update (PowerPC) 10.4.8
    iTunes 7.0.1
    Pro Applications Update 2006-02 1.0
    Cinema Tools Update 3.1.2
    After rebooting my machine all the apps worked except FCP. I went to the support page and did everything asked of me. Got rid of 3rd party QT plug-ins, deleted preferences, etc...
    Nothing worked.
    So, I deleted FCP and loaded it from the discs. It booted up. Hurray!!
    So, why not I thought? I loaded FCP Update 5.1.2 again, and guess what... it wouldn't boot FCP. I deleted the program again and reinstalled it and it seems to work fine. Not sure if anybody else has experienced this yet, and can offer a solution. I am just going to avoid loading the update for now.
    Thought somebody might find this interesting.

    Here I am replying to my own message.
    After reading a post regarding this problem on Creative Cow it turns out to be a Zazwerks plug-in. In this case 3d Flag. I use it in Motion.
    The path is Library/Plug-ins/FxPlug/Zaxwerks3DFlag.fxplug
    When I remove that last folder, the Zaxwerks one, FCP 5.1.2 loads no problem. Put the plug-in back, and no loading.
    There you go. Causes me some problem as I am using the plug-in for a client project in Motion, but I guess we'll just move it in and out until a fix is developed.

  • Problems with FCP update 10.1.3

    I attempted to install the FCP update on August 20th.
    Since then I have not been able to open FCP.
    I click on the icon in my dock. The mac app store opens and this warning message pops up: Final Cut Pro can not be opened while it is being updated.
    FCP is not listed as a recently installed update on my list of updates (compressor worked fine). There are no other updates in my mac app store to be installed.
    I have restarted my computer. But am not so great at tech stuff so not sure what to do next.
    Thanks for any help,
    Rosalee

    Sounds like the download is incomplete. Move the application to the trash and use the Install button from the Purchases page of the App Store.

  • URGENT - problems with fcp updates

    I have created a film with final cut pro, exported it and found that i could not open in it in Compressor. Or more accurately - my compressor was not working at all! So I was advised to reinstall compressor and Final Cut Pro, but this has made no improvement to the compressor problem, and now it says I cannot open my project as it was created in a later version of FCP.
    I cant seem to get the two versions of the programme to marry up correctly - so what versions are compatible? I imagine it is FCP 6.0 and Compressor 3.0.??
    And what do you advise me to do now to get my project open again?
    Thank you

    Make sure that FCP is FULLY updated. Just launch FCP, no project. You can do that my holding down the SHIFT key. Now go to the Final Cut Pro menu and choose ABOUT FINAL CUT PRO. What version does it say?

  • Quicktime update + fcp update = iDVD problem

    recently updated my quicktime to 7.1.5
    Now, after exporting clip from FCP 5.1.4, dropping the quicktime file into iDVD5, and burning a DVD, the clips are not able to be played on a consumer DVD player (I tried 3 different ones). The DVD is able to be navigated, but once a button is selected, the menu freezes and there is no clip. However, the DVD works fine on a computer (pc and mac). I have been working with this process for the last 2 years with no problem, and the DVD's were fine even hours before the upgrade.
    Any thoughts are appreciated!

  • Removing FCP Update!

    Hi,
    I've been struggling with my system for a couple of weeks now. Most recently I did a clean, erase and install of my OS Leopard, now updated to 10.5.8, and reinstall of Final Cut Studio 2 (following it's removal using FCS Remover). The first time I tried to open FCP, it was still 6.0, but of course I couldn't open any of my current projects because they were created in 6.0.5. I then proceeded to update to 6.0.5 and not .6, as I had issues with that version, but now the program is doing what it did before I reinstalled everything. It's crashing and refusing to open. Is there a way to remove the upgrade and reformat my project files to open in the earlier version?
    Lindsay

    You did not need to remove FCS2 with remover if you did a clean erase.
    You cannot back-convert your 6.0.6 projects to 6.0.5. Do you know anyone with FCP6+ that can open your projects for you? You will export XML. Lok it up and study the workflow carefully.
    It is my experience that the scorched earth procedure you have undertaken rarely solves these issues, whatever they are. Apple software and the MacOS just don't work that way. The only reason to replace the OS is if many different applications are broken and even then it is not likely going to be an OS issue. The only reason I would consider reinstalling FCS from the ground up would be an easily identifiable corruption of the application which almost never happens except if the disk is physically damaged where the program lives or someone got into the package and messed with the resources.
    Having "issues" with an update for FCP is usually solvable by simple means and you have not included ay information about the nature of your issues or what you did to resolve them.

  • FCP updates problems

    I cannot update fcp 5.0 to fcp 5.0.4 because it keeps telling
    me that i already downloaded the update.When i look for it
    on my computer i find it in library receipts but everytime
    i try to install, it fails and says try again. whats going on here?

    I'd Uninstall it, then Reinstall FCP 5.0. The procedure for the uninstall is here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302337
    Are you installing from the studio disks? or an fcp disk?
    You should be running 10.4.8 and QT 7.1.3 if you're not too.
    Clean installs are paramount for everything to work OK. if you haven't rebuilt that G4's startup disk in a while it very well be time before you want to start running FCP... I've an article in the free COW magazine here:http://forums.creativecow.net/cgi-bin/newpage_wrapper.cgi?forumid=1&page=http://www.creativecow.net/magazine/cowmagsubscribe.html You can read about setting up an FCP system solidly there in the first issue.
    I've not read about this happening much FWIW... so it should be fixable.
    If this is a new install, Apple will help for free over the phone with you. 1-800-myapple

  • FCP Updating On Own?

    This sounds crazy, but, when going to open FCP(For the first time in a week, after working out of town), it asked for the serial number. I obliged, and it kept saying invalid. After doing a lot of checking, and trying serial again, and again, I checked the info, and realized it said, version 6.0.5. On my Macbook Pro, and Mac Pro, I had 6.0.2. Never installed a later update. There is no records in downloads of an update download. Very strange. I purposely wasn't updating, until present project was finished. All other pro apps are the same they were. It's just FCP. Nobody else used the computer, and there's no history of Terminal use, etc. Has anybody had anything like this? It sounds crazy, but true.

    Underreceipts, it says, that there was a download a week ago, but, I must have been walking in my sleep, because it's been over a week since I "Remember using FCS on my Mac Pro. The interesting thing, is that, there are other updates for the other studio apps, but they are the same ones that were on there already. I already had Motion 3.0.2. But that is in the same download log. Maybe someone broke into my place, and used Final Cut Studio. I have Final Cut remover, which has been used to remove the whole thing when re-installing. I'm going to try and just remove the one app(FCP), because there is work to be done, and don't have time to re-install everything, because the ID trick didn't work.

  • Retrieving Video files originally loaded before Leopard and FCP updates

    I loaded in 10 hours of video onto a LaCie drive and created a FCP project. Since then (over six months ago) my MacBookPro's operating system has been upgraded to Leopard and there has been an upgrade of FCP itself. Trying to open the project now ends in failure. The project file still exists. However, all the video has gone off-line. It is not even visible as files on the LaCie drive even though clearly 100GB of memory are still indicated as being used. Does anyone know a way of retrieving these files? The only option may be to load the video in again.

    Sounds like you have a problem with the drive itself. It's not an FCP problem don't think. There are two software programs to try to see if you can recover the files, both are about $100 each though. One is Disk Warrior, and the other is Data Rescue II. DW will rebuild the directory of the drive, and if that fails, then Data Rescue II will copy to another drive the contents of any drive no matter what the condition is as long as it's spinning... Might just recapture if you can reformat that drive.

  • FCP update - serial number not valid

    Hi all, I recently bought final cut studio 2.0 from someone second hand.
    I am trying to download the update but when it asks for my serial number, it says it is not valid. I've tried several times and double checked the information entered.
    Is there any way around it? Or is it because it is a second hand copy?

    If you had FCS already installed prior to the update, and it was working, and after the update you were required to reenter the serial, then it definitely sounds like you have a pirated serial. I can't remember which update, but a couple months ago Apple released an update that invalidated any serial it knew was floating around the net. If you have a valid serial (not on the list of pirated keys), you would not have seen the enter license window.
    When you bought FCS, you should have been given EVERYTHING that normally comes in the package: Shipping Box, manuals, install DVDs with the serial number on the front of the "Installing Your Software" manual/insert. There will be no document for you to copy and paste from.
    If you have one of the serials that was released to the wild, contact Apple and tell them what happened. If you fax them the cover of the install manual, proving you have a legit copy, they will give you a new, valid number.
    Buying 2nd hand from e-Bay or such, has been know to result in exactly this kind of problem.
    In the mean time, you will have to downgrade the version of your install (preferably by reinstalling from the DVDs), but first deleting ANY and ALL FCS folders and files.
    My condolences..
    Good Luck

  • Panasonic-fs 100 fcp update

    Hi Guys
    I have done a good days work trying to find out things and now I hope for some stright answer.
    q1; do I have to upgrade to fcp 5.1 to use a firestore hard drive whihich capture frome a hvx-200.
    q2; runing on 5.04 and I follow firestore fcp set up when i come to import by going to panasonica 2 the program fcp closes down and I don't get any futher.
    any help in this matter would be great to read tomorrow morning when I wake up ready to go again.
    thanks a lot for you help

    I imported some P2 720P24 from a firestore last week and am running 5.0.4. There is a sequence of events to set up the firestore. to prepare the data captured it must be conformed or converted(can't remember the terminology) to P2 format. this sets up the footage to be recognized as a P2 volume. the other I believe was to set the firestore to be a mountable drive and I also can't remember the terminology, nor do I have the firestore here to tell you so check the manual for those scenarios. It worked fine and was pretty quick.

  • Soundtrack Pro after fcp update, Bloody useless

    Well the old fcp, worked fine for me quick, speedy, multiple programs open, fcp, soundtrack ect. I now find I cant run Soundtrack without super slow down, or crashing, its impossible to match audio to video now. what have apple done? I basically have nothing to edit with properly, I am so frustrated.
    Anyone else noticed this? its as if its intel code running on the power pc it does not run smooth at all.
    I have a 1.8ghz PowerPc G5 with 2gb ddr Sdram
    Any suggestions? old old fcp/Soundtrack Pro/ was super fast.
    Andy.

    Well after a complete reformat and installing of fcp2 only, it is exactley the same. What a complete and utter waste of time, the old fcp was fast smooth and USEABLE its now stopping me working.
    And to top it off i am now geting this..
    "Soundtrack Pro is dropping audio becasue your computers hard disk cannot deliver all of the audio in time. Try removing some long files or quitting other applications"
    I dont have anything else open and the file only conatins 6 tracks and is less than 1 min in length. Really dont know what to do now. I would take fcp2 off and go back to the old faster one but that means I cant capture 25f. ffs
