Final Cut 6.03 IMAC Issues

My new Imac 3.06 Ghz Intel Duo final cut crashes when loading the video plugins folder.
Tried deleting user folders preferences no luck
Motion and DD studio run fine.
Please help

FCP reads plugins from it's plugin folder if they are "additional" plugins. They would be located in Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System support/plugins. There are four that should remain... they are the Boris plugins. Text scrambler, Title 3d, Title Crawl, and Vector shape.. They will not be the problem, but if there are AE plugins there, move them to the side in another folder on your desktop and see if FCP opens without these being read from that folder.

    Another update to my burning problem...in my movies folder there is an img file (states it is a classic disk image-2.82GB) after I have tried burning a DVD unsuccessfully and when I open the img file I see 1) AUDIO_TS AND 2) VIDEO_TS files. I 'control' clicked the file and tried burning this folder onto a disc. Result it seemed to burn both files onto DVD but still couldn't view video.

  • Final Cut Express on iMac G5

    Hey all,
    I nearly had a heart attack when I installed my Final Cut Express software onto my new Rev.C iMac G5 and it told me that I needed an APG graphics card. My new mac equiped with the new PCI-E graphics card apparantly isn't compatable. So how do I utilise my editing software on my new mac? Can I upgrade the software for it to work with my new graphics card? Or do I have to buy a new Final Cut?!
    Any help would be much apreciated. I have Final Cut Express 2.0.2 by the way.

    I heard about this on MacCast podcast. It was talking about FCP but it may affect FCE too. Officially Apple doesn't address it.
    There is a hack that was posted in the show notes (I assume it's there it was on the podcast). You basically have to edit one of the files in the contents that checks hardware when it (FC) opens. It didn't seem like much trouble to do so either.
    If you go to MacCast and download show 11-25-2005 it's there. As I say this addresses running older versions of FCP on newer G5's but I'll bet it's the same issue. At least it's worth a listen.

  • Panasonic and Final Cut pro on iMac

    Hello
    I have a Panasonic HDC-HS80 Video Camera.
    I work with Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 on an iMac with OS 10.6.7
    Do I have to set a special recording Mode on my camera?
    How Do I get my videos from the camera to Final Cut Pro, so that I can cut and edit them?
    Please help! Thanks

    Your camera shoots AVCHD which is not an editing codec, so you'll need to convert your footage in ingest (ProRes LT or 422). Have a look at Shane Ross' tutorial on tapeless workflows:
    http://library.creativecow.net/ross_shane/tapeless-workflow_fcp-7/1
    You will also need a fast external hard disk with FW800 connection (that will be your scratch disk).
    I can't tell you what recording mode you should set but don't mix them if possible.

  • Final Cut Express Manual printing issue

    Hi
    I'm recently purchased an IMac and don't have a lot of experience with the Apple operating system and Apple products. So if this question is more appropriate to another forum, please don't get mad.
    I want to start using Final Cut Express. The Help manual is very long and for now I just have a dinky little color printer. I wanted to be able to just print out chapters or select pages from the manual that I could read at my leisure. I can't figure out how to select a page from "Preview" and print it.
    I've tried to highlight a page and then print it. However, when I go to "Print the selected page" all I keep getting is the first page of the manual.
    I'm sorry to ask such a stupid novice question and any help or direction of where to get help would be appreciated.
    Thank you

    In the Preview window enter numbers in the From: To: fields. Only those pages in the selected range will print.

  • Question re: Xfer Final Cut Pro from iMac (OS 9.1) to an eMac (OS X 10.4)

    Hi,
    I own Final Cut Pro (ver 1.0 and ver 2.0 update) for a DV iMac (OS 9.1) but never used it.
    I now have an eMac running Tiger (OS X ver 10.4) and I'd like to install Final Cut Pro.
    When I tried to install the software on the eMac, the installer looked for an OS 9.1 folder on the eMac.
    Can I run this older version of Final Cut Pro on my eMac?
    Thanks for your help.

    All is not lost, you can upgrade ...
    In the immortal words of King Arthur in the IBM ads - "you expect me to THROW MONEY at the problem!?"
    In a word, yes. Not any other options if you want to run FCP on your more modern machine.
    good luck.

  • How can I transfer iLife and Final cut from my iMac to my Macbook Pro?

    I have Final Cut and iLife on my iMac and just bought a Macbook Pro and I want to transfer it to my Macbook now.  Do I need the disc?  Can I do it without the disc and if so how?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Respecting to iLife, your MacBook should come with iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand preinstalled, so you don't have to transfer iLife from your iMac unless you need iWeb or iDVD.
    Respecting to Final Cut, it depends on the version you have. If you have Final Cut Pro X, you have purchased it from the App Store, so you can download it in your MacBook Pro for free. To do it, open App Store > Purchases, and download Final Cut Pro X. If you have an older Final Cut version, I recommend you to install it into your computer using the DVDs where Final Cut Pro came.
    If you have to transfer more data, you should consider the option of using Migration Assistant. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4889

  • Capturing HDV onto Final Cut using an IMAC

    I just purchased an IMAC with 1 gig of memory and I installed Final Cut Pro 5. Capturing video is very slow, especially when acquistion is complete because processing is so very, very slow. Any way to speed up processing?
    Thanks.
    imac   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   Capturing FCP

    Yes.
    Anything below FCP 5.1 will run under the PowerPC emulation, Rosetta, on an Intel iMac - I'm amazed it works at all, never mind slowly.
    You need to send your CD's off for a 'crossgrade' to the Universal Binary version of Final Cut (5.1), go here for options and order forms:
    http://www.apple.com/universal/crossgrade/
    If you already had Final Cut Studio, the fee is $50, if you had just one of the Studio products the fee is more (e.g. only Final Cut Pro, $99), but you get the whole studio package for not a lot of money.
    The 5.1 universal binary version will also work on your PowerPC mac, and your new Intel mac - at blazing speed.
    I sent mine off a week ago - still not had it back (being in Canada may make a difference) so you may need to go back to your old machine to get work done in the mean time.

  • Final Cut Express with iMac G4

    I have been using an iMac G4 for several years. It has worked out extremely well for me. I use it for internet browsing and Microsoft Office applications. Now I'm considering getting Final Cut Express.
    Will the G4 iMac be able to handle it?

    My G4 733 worked great with FCE 2, and would probably run 3.5 just fine for regular DV, not HDV. Right now my G4 Quicksilver 1 GHz is running FCE 3.5 perfectly well, along with LiveType and SoundTrack. In fact I recently went to the local Apple store where they have Final Cut on their newest and latest Macs, and I deliberately made some complex edits in Final Cut on one of their Macs to see how much faster it would render them. I was surprised that it was not much faster than my Quicksilver G4.
    Check the hardware requirements for whatever version of FCE you want to run.

  • Final cut pro with imac g5 (older version)

    I purchased an imac g5 about a year ago. I've upgraded the RAM to 768 and thats about it. I want to install final cut pro. I know I need to upgrade the RAM to at least 1 gig and get more hard drive space. Is there anything else i should do? Any precautions?
    Thanks!!!!

    I had all sorts of problems bus sharing my DV (or HDV) camera with an external FW Drive, although I never tried plugging the camera into the drive itself - but you do have two options:
    1) Capture using the internal drive.
    2) Use a USB2 interface for the external drive.
    I found both workable, some people have had trouble with USB2 drives, but I find the interface is faster than the base drive speed for single stream work - your mileage may vary. I am using the Lacie triple interface drive.
    Use the system profiler to work out which USB port is not shared with any other, because if you have your mouse / keyboard or Bluetooth adaptor on the same internal hub as the drive, they will all be reduced to USB1.1 - and you definitely can't capture to that. I found one port on the powerbook was on its own bus, one was shared with the BT adaptor - go Apple -> About this Mac -> More Info to run the profiler, or run it from Applications -> Utilities.

  • Errors Using AJA IO LA & Final Cut Pro with iMac

    Has anyone experienced difficulties getting analog video through an AJA IO LA into an iMac? Control panel on AJA reads no video in or out & when Final Cut is launched I keep getting the following error message: "Unable to open specified video output device, may be in use by other applications, incorrectly connected or may be conflicting with a sound input device." If I continue into Final Cut, I am unable to capture and also have received the following error message: "An Error occurred while configuring QuickTime using the current capture preset. Please quit Final Cut Pro and check your hardware configuration"

    I have no experience with the product you are using, but after looking at their website and the system requirements, it occurred to me that they only mention Power PCs and OS X Panther or later. So the problem might be that their hardware/software is not compatible with Snow Leopard, which included major changes. Have you tried contacting them to ask if your particular model is compatible with an Intel Mac and 10.6?

  • My Final Cut Pro X rendering issue

    Hi,
    I'm new to using Final Cut Pro X and was hoping someone could help me with the issue I'm experiencing. 
    My Final Cut Pro X keeps rendering. As soon as I open up the application it just renders and I can’t do anything. It won’t move past 4%.  I've rebooted my Mac five times already.  I've recently uploading videos to the timeline (the last time I logged on) and it's 22 minutes.
    How can I fix this issue? I have plenty of space on my Mac's hard drive.
    If anyone could help, that would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Alicia

    I can see that Innocentius replied, but can't see the reply. So this may be redundant to his post.
    When you import media, you are given many options – to copy to events, to optimize, to analyze, and so forth. Which options did you elect?
    What kind of media are you using?  And if it came from a camera, describe how yoi brought it into FCP.
    If you hot Command-9, it will open the Background Tasks window. What does it indicate is going on? Better yet, post a screenshot of the window.

  • Final Cut Pro Upgrade Licence Issues

    Hi,
    I wonder if anyone can advise .
    I had an old version of Final Cut Pro and recently bought the upgrade , which I installed successfully.
    Then, seeing that I had a whole new box of manuals, in a moment of madness, I threw away the old box . In doing so, I have thrown away my old licence.
    So now if I ever need to re-instal Final Cut Pro , or instal it on my laptop (it is only installed on my desktop) , I have no licence key for the original ( which I must instal before the upgrade ) .
    Anyone got any ideas how I go about getting a re-issued licence key?
    Thanks in advance .

  • Final Cut Studio 2 Installation issue

    When I was installing Final Cut Studio 2, at the beginning of the install when it verifies if you system is compatible, I received the notice that Compression and Live Type would not load. My retailer tells me my system should handle FCS2 and I shouldn't be getting that message.
    I also have FC Express pre-loaded on my system...could this be part of the issue?
    Thanks in advance - creative type here and not a techie...

    The computer was purchased in Sept. 2010. The OS is updated as per automatic notifications and this is the initial install of FC.
    Thanks for the quick response.
