Final Cut 6, can I reinstall just Boris

Yes, I'm still running Final Cut 6 and yes it's been working perfectly up till now.
Running OS 10.6.8
Recently I've been having problems using Boris Calligraphy inside Final Cut, Once I create the title and try to apply it to my timeline, the whole program shuts down
I'm thinking I want to reinstall Boris but going thru my install disks, I didn't see (even in the Extras folder) a separate option for Boris. I didn't want to go all through the install (OK guess that makes me lazy) and I would rather not reinstall the entire program
If I keep going thru the install process will there be a step to reinstall just Boris?
Thanks in advance

Before starting the reinstallation process, you might want to try trashing your FCP Preferences first to see if that helps solve the wonky behavior. (Digital Rebellion's free Preference Manager is the go to app to clean them out)
If you go the reinstallation route, be sure to use DR's FCS Remover to clear out your old installation.
Many of us who do clean installs regularly have made disc images of the FCS media and stored them on an external Firewire or USB drive. This allows a fairly quick (20-40 minute) reinstall of the whole suite.
There is a link to how to do this as a sticky as part of the FCS forum.
good luck,

่Can I import geeThree transition in Final Cut s, ่Can I import geeThree transition in Final Cut studio?

Um, can you "import" it? You can "install" them, but only the ones made for FCP 7 on Leopard.

Final Cut x can't find my events or projects

Final Cut x can't find my events or projects. I've tried removing the events and projects and put them back into the right folders again but when I start up Final Cut X, the screen looks like a new installed application. Only "New Event" is on the list. I've even tried removing events and projects and tried putting them back one at a time to see if the reason could be a corrupt file or similar, but with the same result.
I've also tried to take some unused events and projects from backup disks and put them into the folders but Final Cut X still don't see any of it. So it doesn't seem that any of the folders or files are corrupted. I quit Final Cut X as usual yesterday and the problem occured 2 hours later when I opened the application.
I've googled the problem since yesterday but haven't found a solution yet. I've even tried re-installing the application twice but nothings helps.
Does anyone have an idea of what it could be? Or have tried anything similar?
Hope you can help. Thanks!

Hi again Andy.
Thanks for your quick replies. I'm back again now.
My Projects and Events are located in the Movies folder. The subfolders are called "Final Cut Events" and "Final Cut Projects"
They were originally located here from the beginning.
I did move the folders to backup disks and I've formatted the computer a couple of times since I purchased Final Cut X several months ago. I've always moved the folders back to the very same place each time I re-installed my computer and everything has worked fine that way until yesterday. I haven't moved or re-located the folders for at least 3-4 weeks.

I need a new license of final cut. Can I buy Final Cut X and use that serial on an older version of Final Cut?

I work in a small studio and we hired a new editor. We are staying on an older version of Final Cut Studio and need a new license/serial so we can run it on the new machine without having the 'protection error' over the network.
We CANNOT upgrade all of the machines at this time - we are in the middle of a few projects and need to keep the workflow going smoothly.
If we purchase the newest version of Final Cut Studio can we use the license on our old product and wait to install the new one until we can upgrade all of the machines at the same time? we're still on studio 6.
Thank you!

>If we purchase the newest version of Final Cut Studio
The newest version of Final Cut Studio was FCS 3 (aka FCS 2009) which contained FCP 7. It has been discontinued by Apple and recalled from retailers. If you can still find a legitimate copy to purchase, you can only use the serial number for that version. Serial numbers from other versions will not work.

Final cut studio can't start (boot up)

I can't start up my final cut pro when I switch on my Mac. I tried reinstall the program for many times, but still did not work. Can anyone tell me how to make it work again? Thank you.

Can you describe exactly what happens?
You turn on the Mac.
It boots up.
You double-click the FCP icon in the Applications folder.
Then what happens exactly?

Error sending multi-track project back to Final Cut Pro, can't open XML

I am an experienced Final Cut Pro user but just tried using Soundtrack Pro for the first time on a real project. I sent the audio from my Final Cut sequence to a Soundtrack Pro multi-track project, added a few effects and created some fade-ins and fade-outs, and then tried to Export back to Final Cut.
I selected "File > Export", named my file and selected "After Export > Send files to Final Cut Pro sequence."
Now in Final Cut an error appears that says "The document “Name.xml” could not be opened. Final Cut Pro cannot open files in the “Final Cut Pro XML File” format."
Am I crazy or is something wrong happening here? I can get the exported audio files to appear in my sequence if I select "File > Import > XML" in Final Cut, but after this whole process Final Cut seems to be functioning unreliably (after closing Final Cut and re-opening, I even once got a similar error that said "Final Cut cannot open files in the Final Cut Pro Project File format", which is obviously crazy).
Am I doing something wrong? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

hi,
i have the same situation. expirienced in fcp, new in soundtrack pro.
similar message. did you find an solution ?

Is there any way to Import From Camera (dv) in a way that Final Cut Pro can later import everything, including the audio

I know iMovie dv to Final Cut Pro has no audio. At least with my old events. But is there any way I can make it so future dv files Imported From Camera in iMove 2011 will later work in FCP?

Hi
Yes and No
And it depend's on what quality You want and how much problem You stand in FC - and what version of FinalCut You mean.
• FinalCut Pro-X - I have no clue at all
• FinalCut Express and Pro (till 6.0.6) - I'm very familiar to.
• If You take out the Imported/Captured material from Event's - it seems to be 100% OK - but in wrong codec so it will work in FinalCut BUT with a lot of RENDERINGS - every slight change = Need of RENDERING. To much for me.
• If You aim to do some Editing in iMovie them move over to FinalCut = Moving from Event's to Project's result in that every second line in the picture is discarded ( and can not be repaired ) so the project will lose a lot of quality - whatever way You use to Export/Move it over to FinalCut.
So at least I'm better of by Capture in FinalCut from Start as I can keep 100% quality till Movie is done.
Yours Bengt W

M4p files no good in Final Cut, how can I convert?

A P.S. to my previous questions: The iTunes m4p files don't work in Final Cut. I can't convert them in Final Cut or Quicktime or Soundtrack or Logic Audio. In fact, they don't play in any of those apps, only iTunes.
I've got the rights to a song for a film that has to be completed Friday. How can I convert the m4p file to something useable?
Help would be most appreciated,
Ben

This goes back a couple of years and is not related to your problem, but it may your next problem.
I tried using .mp3 files out of iTunes and into Final Cut Pro. They would play, but by the time I got to exporting final video, the sound quality was terrible. I went back to the original cd audio file (.aiff?) and everything was fine.

FInal Cut Upgrade CAn't edit in Canvas

Upgraded to the new final cut studio now can't edit clips directly in canvas. Ie. Crop tool doesnt engage when hovering over the edge of clip. Can't distort or resize the clip.
Motion tab doesn't have position option?
My Favourites are missing?

The FCS 3 review over at the [Cow|http://library.creativecow.net/articles/gatonjiggy/final_cut_studio3.php] mentions favorites being lost too.
Perhaps some or all of the filters have been rewritten as FX Plugs instead of using the old method, resulting in them landing in a different directory? I'm not upgraded yet, so this is pure speculation on my part. Maybe someone else knows more.

Final Cut Express-can it be run on a Core Solo mini?

Could Final Cut Express 4 be installed and used on a Core Solo Mac mini?

Yes, if it meets the minimum requirements laid out on the FCE web page. There will be some loss of functionality because of the lack of graphics card.

How can I reinstall just iCal?

I need to delete & reinstall iCal. I've lost all of my calander information as far as I can see & just need to start over. How can I do this? I had Tiger (10.4) installed, then installed the Leopard upgrade. Then I needed to reinstall the Tiger OS for work. So now I have Mac OS X 10.4.11 with 2 different system backups & all I want is for my iCal to work! If anyone can help me in getting my information from those backups that would be great, too. I've managed to get most of the music, keychains, but not documents.

An updater may not be replacing an entire application, so if you need to replace an application then you need to first get it from the installer DVD from which it came originally. Then use the updater to assure that it is the current version. You may not need to use the combo updater if the application hasn't changed any, but you can't know that positively, so use the updater. It cannot harm anything.

Can Lion reinstall just iCal?

I tried to restart my computer with command R and got the install option.
I picked my hard drive and realized that the "Customize" button is greyed out. Why is this?
I want to just install iCal as I am having some error prompts and no one has replied yet
Here is the other thread

Is there a way I can just reinstall iCal?
Thanks.

Will the install but install a replacement app retaining my current contacts and ical calendars?
Good to know
Your settings and data should all be untouched when you reinstall, but as I say, all you need is a power outage or something unexpexted to occur and you may lose all your data, so having a backup is essential, even if it takes a bit of time it is invaluable insurance 'just in case'.
Good Luck

If i buy final cut pro can i run on iMac and macbook with same license

If they're both your computers, sure. Just copy it from one machine to the other.

Final Cut Pro - Can the video move pre subframe?

I recently have two videos. And I want want to synchronize these two videos. But I found that the video can only be moved pre frame and the sound of these two video cannot match perfectly. So I detach the audio of the 2nd video and I try to synchronize my "1st video" and "the audio of the 2nd video" first. My "1st video" and "the audio of the 2nd video" match perfectly because "the audio of the 2nd video" can be moved pre subframe. However, "the audio of the 2nd video" and the "2nd video" itself don't match perfectly because the audio can be moved pre subframe but the video can only be moved pre frame.
How can synchronize everything perfectly?

When you shoot with two cameras, if you want perfect synchronicity, you must lock the video at the time of the recording by using cameras that allow for "gen lock" which uses the sync from either an independent sync generator, or the video of one of the cameras as a reference to lock the cameras together.
More on Gen Lock here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genlock
Without an electronically locked signal, you have the result you are having.
Within FCP, the audio can be moved at the subframe level, but not the video, which must be moved at the frame interval. In most editorial situations, the subframe offset of the cameras does not pose a problem, since the slight temporal shift will be masked by the dramatic image shift of the edit anyway, but I could see where it would be a problem in scientific, effects, or compositing work.
