FCPX Update

Is it going to be possible to download just the updates to FCPX (for free) to my existing version or are the improvements only going to be available on new versions?

I have FCP X installed, but in the app store is says "install" not update.
When I click install is says FCP X is already installed and that I should update using the app store.

FCPX update soon, but-

If it's true that some updates will cost money Apple will be betraying early FPCX buyers.
Notes from Apple’s Pro briefing on Final Cut Pro X in London
Looks like Apple’s softly softly actions to keep professionals onside are continuing.
Sam Johnson(of AMV LAB) was invited, amongst others, to an Apple briefing on Final Cut Pro X.
Here are is what Sam tweeted after the briefing. Follow him on Twitter where he posts as @aPostEngineer
1. FCP XML in/out is coming via 3rd party soon…no FCP 6/7 support project support coming ever it seems…
2. Ability to buy FCP7 licenses for enterprise deployments coming in the next few weeks…
3. FCPX EDL import/export coming soon…
4. FCPX AJA plugins coming soon for tape capture and layback…capture straight into FCPX bins.
5. XSAN support for FCPX coming in the next few weeks…
6. FCPX Broadcast video output via #Blackmagic &@AJAVideo coming soon…
7. Additional codec support for FCPX via 3rd Parties coming soon…
8. Customizable sequence TC in FCPX for master exports coming soon…
9. Some FCPX updates will be free some will cost…
He went on to answer some questions:
conigs Do they have any kind of timeframe for “soon”? Am I safe in guessing in 2011?
aPostEngineer within a few weeks for some updates i.e. XSAN up to a few months for 3rd party developers to get their heads around the API.
gigarafa what about the rest of the suite? Color, dvd studio etc?
aPostEngineer they have unfortunately reached their EOL and will not be developed any more..
They said that taking FCP7 off the shelf was the most complained thing… (Answering a message from @NMRUK)
Peter Wiggins of Idustrial Revolution was also there, so I imagine we’ll get an update at his fcp.co site soon.

If you are making your living with DVD recorder it's because you already have one. If you need a brand new one, you can buy it from any DVD recorder manufacturer. (Actually, Apple never manufactured DVD recorders).
The only one Apple computer doesn't have DVD recorder today is the Macbook Air. So, there is no reason to speculate about that, but yes, sooner o later DVD will dead, as cassette did, as floppy did, as VHS did.
I make my living on editing. FCPX doesn't changed anything for me. I still work with FCP7 as I did before. I know how to edit in Avid and in Premiere, and now in FPCX.
I am training myself all of the time. That's my biggest investment, to always be learning as much as I can. Instead of waisting hours and hours blaming Apple, I started to learn FPCX with Ripple Training first, and now with Larry Jordan's tutorials.

Why can I no longer export alpha channels in the new FCPX update (10.0.6)?

While the new update is rich with new goodies- I am having some issues doing some things. My main concern is the inability to export alpha channels in the 10.0.6 updated version of FCPX.
I followed the following steps, same as before the update.
I used the Keying effect to remove the greenscreen and did some cleanup using the "sample color" refining tool.
I cropped and resized the clip so that the actor is the correct size for my clip.
Now it looks great in FCPX, except that I now need to put that footage into Motion 5 and do some motion tracking and match move.
I export the keyed clip as Apple Pro Res 4444
Now when I import that file into Motion 5 everything that is supposed to be transparant is black!
Is there an additional setting in the new version that I need to fix in order to export alphas? Is there a new way to do it?
I am operating Mountain Lion, OSX Version 10.8.2 with a 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor.
Thank you so much! This is a key element in almost all the projects I do and now I am stuck!

You got me curious so had to test and validate some of the above, forgive me if I go a little OT in the process.
Have you set your background to checkerboard, I find psycologically this makes a difference, though in exporting it does not...
screen grab below, from 422 timeline, showing original, exported 444 and then imported file comp'd in and scaled down for differentiation in FCPX, note that the project render parameter is actually set to 422 NOT 444 as fox_m suggested, it still works.
This one below shows the above scenario exported 444, with background set to black in pref's, note the overlap showing transparency, again in FCPX. This is purely to illustrate that the checkerboard and black backgrounds are not relevant, only that the 444 on export is relevant.
Hopefully this illustrates that cropping and 444 exports are working.

FCPX update not available

I was able to download / update Motion 5.2 and Compressor 4.2 but I do not see the FCPX 10.2 update.
When opening "Purchases" I do not see any of the programs, neither Motion nor Compressor nor FCPX.
What's wrong here?

I've restarted already. It didn't help.
Another funny thing.... I have a second Mac with the >same< Apple iD on which I was able to update FCPX and Compressor but not Motion.
It also shows that "Family Sharing is not set up with the current iCloud account"... which is not true and furthermore the settings are completely the same on both machines...
Don't know what to do... :-(

FCPx Update to 10.1 deleted all my projects

After updating to FCPx 10.1 it asked if I wanted to save the old projects and events. I a=said no - so it deleted all my projects.
does anyone know how I can get them back?
Previously if you didn't say to update projects you wouldn't see thm in FCPx.
help

Called FCPx Tech Support and they gave me a one time exemption, since it happened on an update.
The projects were not gone, although there were no old projects in the trash, like the info window said they would be. The old projects were just deleted.
The new FCPx 10.1 puts Events Libraries and Project Libraries together in one Library.
Since all my Projects were on my HD1, and most of the Events for those projects were on 3 other HDs, all my Projects were grouped with all my Events from HD1. They were in a folder called Updated Projects, but that folder also contained 364 clips from HD1, which made it hard to find the Projects.
So they were there all along, just didn't know how to find them or where to look.
There is no Project Library any more, if I understand it correctly. Projects and Events are in the same Library.
I will say this, the video quality after Update 10.1 increased 30 to 40% - stunning.
Thanks

How to negotiate FCPX Update error?

Hello to all,
Have purchased FCPX version 10.0.2 in Decemebr 2011 and did not update to the newer versions until yesterday. I clicked on update to version 10.0.5 and went to sleep. When I woke up in the night, I checked to see whether the update was completed, I saw this: an error has occured. I tried to click on update again but found the button not responding. Now what do I have to do?
DR.SOMANNA

Just read this blog. It would help you in solving the problem

Fcpx update won't work

I have FCS and FCPX on the same drive, in separate folders, per "best practices".
When I open FCPX and check for updates it says software is up to date.
Yet I have no sound effects in the sound & music bin. When I downdoad that update
from the Apple page and it installs just fine, but it still does not appear in the S&M Bin.
What up?

Ok, took FCPX out of the folder and put it along with Motion5 and compressor4 in the first level of the applications folder. left FCS and components in it's on folder with the administrator at read and write.
opened FCPX chose check for content. Said it was up to date. reloaded the SFX content from Apples site.
My sound and music bin is still empty and there is there aren't any other sound files represented. Even the search function of the sound and music bin is ghosted. Anything else I should try?

FCPX update not working because of iCloud upgrade

In short words... the new Photos app is uploading 100.000 photos/videos to iCloud at the "moment". It will need at least a week or so.
Now my iCloud syncing is not working anymore and my other mac shows that my "Family Sharing" is not set up correctly.
Also my two Macs show totally different "Purchases" in the App Store and one of them is not able to update FCPX to 10.2.
It just shows "No Updates Available".
I need FCPX 10.2 on both Macs and cannot wait for weeks until the Photos update to iCloud may have been successful!
Is there any chance to update FCPX in another way?

Now I calculated how long it will take to get back to normal again after uploading all pictures... just 10 days!!!
assuming that I will never turn off my computer.
This would not be a problem if iCloud and App Store would work during this period but they are not.
If I turn off my computer for 10 hours a day I will need approximately 2 weeks or even longer... before I can update FCPX!
HOW SHOULD THIS WORK????

FCPX updates without Apple Store

Ok, long story short. I have a copy of FCPX 10.0, which for myself is perfect, but I had a client come in with a FCP project that he wants me to finish. Usually its not an issue, but its a multicam project and 10.0 does not support multicam. Normally I would, and prefer to edit this in Avid, but the client had an existing 80% complete timeline, it just makes sense to finish it in FCPX.
But, the IT geniuses here have blocked access to the Apple Store, and also iTunes store, so I cannot update my copy of FCPX to 10.0.3 (don't want 10.0.4) and aside from brining a company owned MacPro home and update it there, which I would probably get fired for, is there anyway I download a update via the web, or better yet FTP?
Thats assuming the 10.0.3 update is a patch and not a full update like Avid Media Composer 6.0 to 6.01 was.

First, you can't get 10.0.3. Only 10.0.4 is available. Second, you would need the Apple ID and password to download it from the app store. If you have a Mac latop and that information you could download it at home and copy it onto the work machine. There is no web or FTP download.

FCPX update problems ?

Has anyone lost files or whole projects by doing this odd trash you old FCP to install a update ? IE 10.0 to 10.0.3

I just 'upgraded' to 10.0.3 from the trial 10.0.1. It did not overwrite the trial - it installed separately. My projects and events were untouched. There does seem to be issues with opening old projects in the new version. They open fine, but the media is missing or needs to be rerendered or something. I haven't had time to worry about this yet.

FCPx Update - soundtrack pro

Hi all, stuck at work so cant update yet
With the new patch, will we now be able to round trip to soundtrack pro?

Actually, under the Compressor Update info on the App Store ... under the "more" part, it says
"Removes stability issues when launching Soundtrack Pro after Compressor 4 is installed."
Hope this helps,
stephen

Help with FCPX and Compressor updates

So compressor automatically updated from 4.0 to 4.1 and is now not working and im also having issues with the 10.0 to 10.1 FCPX update. Please check out the link to my other post below for more details.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/24968191#2496819.

OK found projects, didnt realize they got moved to the events library from down by the timeline. Still waiting to see if Compressor 4.1 works with FCPX 10.1 update. Looks promising though. My computer automatically updated Compressor to 4.1 without me knowing (obviously when I opened it I noticed) but when it was failing I was still trying to compress with FCP 10.0 and Compressor 4.1 so maybe that was the issue.

Can I run 2 different updates of FCPX on the same computer?

How can I run 2 versions of FCPX (update 10.1.1 and the original FCPX) on the same computer?
I'm working on a team using FCPX. Recently, my computer updated FCPX to 10.1.1 (I'm assuming bc I have a newer computer & OS). The others on the team have FCPX, the earlier version.
Because we have projects edited on both version of FCP and we need to be able to transfer projects from one computer to another, I need to be using the earlier version of FCPX. However, I also need to be able to edit the 10-15 projects we've started in 10.1.1. So, I'm looking to somehow run the 2 different versions of FCPX on a single computer.
How could I best accomplish this - thru different users? partitioning the drive? Any suggestions??

WOW! Can it be that simple?
You also want to make sure that if 10.1 sees your 10.0.9 projects and events that you don't let it update them.

Problems updating from OSX 10.6.7 to 10.6.8

I've installed the new FCPX update on my iMac system, my second system, and it appears to be working fine. As part of the process I had to update the OS to 10.6.8 from 10.6.7.
So I felt that was successful and have tried to do the same on my mac tower primary system. This is the system that was built for me by a local systems integrator but has never worked as smoothly as it should and still crashes several times a day. I finally gave up hoping the systems integrator would ever make good on the setup after a couple of years, which is a long story and I won't bore you with it here.
On trying the update on the tower system, though, I get a "panic" on rebooting after the update of the OS. This is before even attempting to install the FCPX update. I get the restart message and the system always goes to the "panic" screen and hangs there, requiring a reboot which results in another hang.
I had made CCC clones of the system drive before doing the update, so I can boot to one of those, then CCC clone the system drive back to itself, and everything works normally. If I try to update the OS I get the "panic" screen again and the cycle repeats.
I'm pasting the error report below. I'm well out of my depth in trying to make sense of the report. I'd appreciate any help I can get on what the problem is and how to fix it.
Thanks in advance.
John

Thanks for the reply. The systems intregrator did a number of complete reinstalls when they were trying to work out the issues. I'm actually hoping this is a hardware issue that may finally be determined through this upgrade problem, if that makes sense. If that doesn't pan out I may just get a new, larger hard drive and do as you suggest, since they're so cheap. But I hope this will somehow track down the larger problem of system crashes.
Best,

Cannot install 10.0.3 update

Hi all;
There is no way in the world that I can install the FCPX UPDATE 10.0.3, and for that matter the Motion 5 update, or Compressor either.
running Lion 10.7.2 and have no issues, the Apps, FCPX is ver 10.0.2, from the previous update, that went flawlessly from the AppStore at that time
all the apps show as puchased at their respective original dates, and the AppStore shows the 3 updates ready to be downloaded.
I begin to download and everything goes well, data apparently downloads well for FCPX 1.47 Gb, for Motion 1.17 Gb if I do them separetly but when they start to install it never goes to completion, it seems as if they start an infinite loop indicating "one sec remaining to 3 sec remaining" and nothing gets installed.
I have searched the AppStore Forum every which way and have tried several work arounds, short of upgradind to Lion 7.10.3 because of all the issues they are having with that update now and at least my OSX is working well. I have not changed my account at AppStore in fact is the same as always, and just two days prior to the anouncement of the update I used it for another app and everything went well.
If you can be of help it will be appreciated.
Thanks,
AppleLou
