Feedback: Final Cut Pro 7 upgrading to 10.8 mountain lion

I have an iMac 3.1GHz i5 16GB RAM
I would like to upgrade to Mountain Lion 10.8 but not sure if there will be any problems with Final Cut Pro 7.
What can you tell me about your experience with the upgrade?

Yes I did, but I must tell you that I have only upgraded my Mac Book Pro to ML.  My main edit computer is a Mac Pro with SL.  I use the laptop to try things out.  A lot of guys on here would advise a clean install of OSX and FCS.

  • How can I get a version of Final Cut Pro X that works on OS Mountain Lion?

    I just downgraded my laptop to its original OS (Lion) and will be upgrading soon to Mountain Lion because this laptop is too old to work with Mavericks or Yosemeti. So far Final Cut Pro X, Motion and Compressor (which I had originally purchased when I first bought the computer) do not work. Will Final Cut Pro X work on Mountain Lion? If not, what can I do to get a version that will work?
    Thanks!

    10.0.9 is the latest version compatible with Mountain Lion.   I found this article which may help you:

    At the time it was written it was apparently possible to download from the app store with a computer running ML.  Maybe this is still the case.
    FCP 10.1. has video requirements which are not met by older machines.  I'm not sue about 10.0.9 but that might possibly be a 'gotcha'
    I'm a bit confused though since if you downgraded you laptop to Lion but Mountain Lion is the latest OS it will run then you must have been running ML already

  • Ever-changing gamma after Final Cut Pro 7 upgrade

    Just upgraded to the latest Final Cut Studio a week ago, featuring Final Cut Pro 7. Now I'm seeing a darker gamma every time a movie goes to a new program. I'm seeing one gamma in the Final Cut viewer, a darker gamma in QuickTime player, and finally an even darker gamma still once the file is compressed as an FLV. Have a look:
    http://homepage.mac.com/cbauer/files/FCP7_gamma.jpg
    Needless to say this is very irritating. "Enable Final Cut Studio color compatibility" is checked in QuickTime Player; ironically, unchecking it actually makes it look like Final Cut's viewer. I'm running Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard. Gamma was consistent before the Final Cut Studio upgrade. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

    Um, anybody?

  • Installing final cut pro vs upgrade

    Hi,
    Is there a difference between the install and upgrade?
    I had installed final cut studio (just final cut pro and color) and then removed the application. When I tried re-installing, the installer had the option Upgrade selected and I could not change it (I think its because i did not remove all the application files including the id files).
    There doesn't seem to be any difference when I start it. So is there a difference in what you get between a complete install and upgrade? Before I remove everything and install again.
    thanks

    There is no difference. In fact, when you install an upgrade, you don't even have to have the old version on the system.

  • How can I get my Final Cut Pro 7 to Work with 10.8 Lion?

    I get these two messages and then Final Cut Pro shuts down. Please don't tell me to use FCProX because I don't have time to learn a new system and need to edit a project today. Anyone who has real info on this please help! Thank you SO MUCH! xoxo

  • Final cut pro x upgrade

    I am very disappointed at Apple that there is no upgrade from Final Cut Studio.  I just purchased FCP STUDIO few months ago and now I am expected to pay for the FCP X, Motion and Others in the Studio package.
    Apple, I am not a happy customer!
    Are there any Apple Customers out there like me?

    Buying Studio was probably the smartest thing you did in terms of actually being able to achieve real work.
    The web has been abuzz for months with news of X and its distribution through the App store only - meaning no upgrade pricing etc. I'd be shocked if you made a purchase of Final Cut Studio's magnitude with no real research into what was coming ... Regardless, $299 to get on the train of something new is reasonable given the updates that are supposedly in the pipeline for X.
    Previously Motion and Compressor were included as part of the Studio bundle - perhaps for a couple of hundred, so $50 US seems like a bargain for those two pieces of software.
    The software you have isn't going to diminish in relevance anytime soon - and the software you're eyeing is not ready for prime-time.
    I'd say, enjoy and be productive with what you have - the bundled content alone is way more than what is supplied with Final Cut X.
    Best Wishes.

  • Final Cut Pro 5 upgrade won't accept full product serial number

    Just got FC Pro 5 upgrade and I am trying to install on top of FC Express Retail. I bought FCE at the apple store, so it's full retail.
    The installer first asks for the FCP s/n, then I get a pop that says I've entered an upgrade serial number and will need to enter the full product serial number. When I type in the FCE s/n, the OK button stays dimmed.
    Any advice? Apple's closed today.
    Thanks!

    Which upgrade did you get? The $399 version or $699 version? Only the $699 version upgrades FCE.

  • Final Cut Pro 3 upgrade from ebay

    I just received an ebay purchased box of FC3 upgrade. It loaded up fine but I can not get past the registration. I key in the numbers provided and I can't send it on.
    Have I been ripped off? Is there a way around this?
    The box had all of the manuals, tutorial, the cute little keyboard labels. It did not have any instructions on how to do the upgrade in paper form.
    What do I do with this?
    Help!

    The serial numbers are always in sets of 3 letters then 3 numbers... so zero's look like Oh's and one's can look like L's.. so be careful there...

  • Final Cut Pro for Upgraded G4

    Hi all, my first post is really about a few ideas/suggestions. I've read a little but still can't get my hands around how much my G4 will handle. I've upgraded my old G4 Dual 450 (Gigabit Ethernet) to the following:
    Dual 1 GHz processor/1.5 Gigs of RAM/500 Gig SATA A/V HD
    Graphics card choice of:
    The stock ATI RAGE 128 Pro (16 megs I think) AGP 2x video card..... or
    An ATI RADEON 9200 128 (128 Meg) PCI Graphics Card I just purchased.
    I've been using FCP 3 for years now and a Canon XL-1 and similar mini-DV formats with good results. Out next documentary will be 16x9 (either 30p or 24p) it may even be HD. I have had very little experience with producing in HD so bare with me.
    I have two questions:
    1) I need/want to upgrade my FCP to do either of the 16x9p or HD format. Considering my computer system, which version should I upgrade....FPC 5.1? Old version of FCP 4.5? FCP express HD 3.5??
    2) If I do move up to FCP HD or FCPE HD.... do I use my old RAGE 128 Pro AGP or my new RADEON 9200 128 PCI Graphics card. Other graphic card suggestions? I looked for the RADEON 9800 PRO but it's on back-order.
    After reading some of the forums, I still have no clear answer as to how much my system will take. The video card thing confuses me as well. Much thanks!

    First of all, make sure you learn the differences between HD & HDV, as well as all the different flavors of each. One thing to keep in mind, you can't mix formats on a timeline without having to render something.
    In any case, your best bet will be to upgrade to the most recent version of FCP, which is 5.1.x. You may want to wait until after NAB (next month), just in case something new is released. Unfortunately, you just missed the crossgrade program, which would have allowed you to upgrade for a fraction of the typical cost.
    Either of your graphics cards will work. There are only a few things so far in FCP that actually utilize the GPU for processing. The vast majority of FCPs functionality is still powered by your CPU. If you already have it, put the better card in. Can't hurt, and it will help if you plan on using Motion at all (part of the Studio suite).

  • Can you upgrade from Final Cut Pro 3 to Final Cut Pro Sudio 2 with upgrade?

    Does anyone know if you can upgrade from Final Cut Pro 3 to Final Cut Pro Sudio 2 with $699 upgrade?
    I purchased Final Cut Pro 2 years back and then purchased the Final Cut Pro 3 upgrade. I have not used it in years, but now I want to upgrade to Final Cut Studio 2. Is this possible by just purchasing the upgrade?

    Apple's web page has the requirements:
    http://store.apple.com/AppleStore/WebObjects/BizCustom?qprm=78313&productLearnMo re=MA886Z/A
    The $699.00 upgrade version requires a valid serial number from a commercial version of Final Cut Studio, Production Suite, or Final Cut Pro 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. Academic and not-for-resale versions are not eligible for this upgrade.
