Final Cut Express 2.0.3 and missing AGP graphic card

I had Final Cut Express 2.0.3 in my older G4 PPC Tower. But now that I've installed FCE 2.0.3 in my new iMac I get an error message telling me I need an AGP graphic card for the program to work.
What's the deal?
How can I fix this?
Thanks,
Panther

Have a read of this thread (link).
FCE 2 is a PowerPC application so you won't get great performance through Rosetta. FCE 2 is looking for AGP graphics which were standard at the time but no longer present. You should look at upgrading (link) for best performance.

Final Cut Express 2.0 Configuration Error--Missing AGP graphics card

Can't seem to get FCE2.0 working properly. Says I'm missing the AGP graphics card, but when I run the hardware diagnostics there is no problem with it. I thought FCE2.0 would work with the Intel processor.
Any ideas how to fix this?

FCE2 predates the MacBook Pros (Intel based systems) by quite a long time. Other users have had similar difficulties. If I recall correctly, you can just ignore the error message. But search the Forum, you will find out what other people have done.
I would suggest, however, that you upgrade to v 3.5 for your MacBook Pro. It's the UB version and runs much better on the Intel systems.

Final Cut Express HD & New I Mac CONFLICT - AGP graphics card error??

Not sure what to make of this. I would imagine this should be as seemless as all of the other transitions I have made with apple. I just bought a new I MAC running 10.5.2 and for some reason when I try to load Final Cut XPRESS HD 3.0, it loads just fine but when i try to launch, an error window pops up stating this software requires certain hardware or software which is missing. * AGP GRAPHICS CARD. And then proceeds to NOT launch the program.
Hmmm??? My graphics card is: ATI RADEON HD 2600 PRO. I had the first IMAC 20"(white body) and loaded the same program on that machine. It worked great.
Thanks for any help.

If I'm not mistaken (and I could be), I think FCE 3 isn't comaptible with IntelMacs. But you may want to ask in the FCE forum - this is the FCP forum.
The FCE forum is here: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=936

Final Cut Express HD 3.5 and Final Cut Pro Studio 5.1.1

Hi,
I have a client with both of these installed on the same machine (running 10.4.6).
When they try and launch either application, the splash screen comes up, loading various filters, etc. then they get an error message:
"File Error: A file of this name already exists" "OK"
Clicking "OK" closes the app.
Any idea:
1. What the file in question is?
2. Can it be deleted to let the app run?
3. Can Final Cut Express HD 3.5 and Final Cut Pro Studio 5.1.1 be used on the same machine?
I'll post this on the Final Cut Pro thread too (but with the order reversed).

1. No idea.
2. Depends what the file is.
3. Yes. Though I've never tried to run them at the same time.

Hey, I have Final Cut Express 4.0.1 and a JVC everio camera, whenever i try to import my files to FCE via "Log and transfer", it just doesn't do anything, as if FCE doesn't know the camera is there, please help !

FCE 4.0.1 can only capture DV/HDV which is produced by cameras using Mini-DV TAPES and cameras shooting AVCHD which is a high definition format.
If your camera shoots standard definition on Memory Cards, DVDs or Hard Drives it will not work in FCE.
What is your camera's exact model name and number?

When I move high quality clips into my timeline in Final Cut Express HD, they look and export low quality. I have tried converting the clips and de-interlacing them, but they always look the same, What is the problem? Thanks so much.

You should check that the Project settings match the clip settings before editing them to the Timeline.
Only newly created Projects will change not existing ones by adjusting the Project settings.
If, for example, you have a Project set to NTSC DV you can only end up in trouble if the clips are PAL 1920 x 1080i.

Hardware missing -AGP Graphics card. How can I get my FCE 4 working on the new computer? Cheers

Hi I have just upgraded my computer to Mac OSX 10.6.7 now I cant open my FCE 4. Message reads, Hardware missing -AGP Graphics card. How can I get my FCE 4 working on the new computer? Cheers

Thanks, just so I know we are talking about the same items please let me know - When you say "run Prokit" do you mean downloaded? Which I did. I dont have Prokit 4.0.1 if you are referring to that, do I need this first? Please explain what application name I am looking for if other than Prokit which is sitting in my "download folder" do I need to manually put it into the apps folder? Sorry if the questions are layman but this area is not a very strong point for me. Thanks for your help so far.

FInal Cut Express HD 3.0 and Tiger 10.4.6

I recently upgraded from Panther 10.3.9 to Tiger 10.4.6 on my 1.25ghz g4 laptop with 1.2gb RAM and Final Cut Express HD 3.0 is misbehaving. It quits when trying to capture (I had to capture in imovie and import the imovie file) and stutters in playback and won't render out audio. I'm using QT7.1.3
Any ideas why? I tried to upgrade to FCE HD 3.0.1 but it wouldn't let me saying that my computer didn't need this upgrade.
Do I have to get FCE HD 3.5 ?

Try this:

and also try to trash your preferences:

Get back to us and tell us how that worked.

Help! Final Cut Express crashes on Log and Transfer

Hi,
I am using a Canon Vixia HFS20 (AVCHD) and a Mac Book Pro (running snow leopard) , with a 1 tb My Book as scratch disk.
I have upgraded the software.
In Easy Setup, I selected AVCHD 1920x1080i60, after checking the camera and seeing that it is recording with 60i.
Log and Transfer opens, but then final cut express immediately crashes.
Please advise! Thank you so much,
Anne

What happens if you remove the external drive and try a test capture to the MAC directly?
How is the external connected? eg. USB
Is the external formatted to MAC OS Extended?

Final Cut - Missing AGP graphics card in my MacBook which is Quartz Extreme

Successful Install of Leopard.
I have Final Cut Express HD 3.0, my MacBook is supposedly Quartz Extreme Supported (System Profiler agrees with that). On attempted start of Final Cut, I get the following error message.
"Configuration Error
This software requires certain hardware of software which is missing.
• AGP graphics card"
Any ideas or did I find a true Apple Bug with their own hardware and software?

Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 on a iMac G5, "missing AGP graphics card" ?

I know that this isn't supposed to work, but I used to be able to run FCP 4.5 on my iMac G5. Was running Tiger and FCP 4.5 both with the latest updates. Compressor and DVD Studio pro wouldn't open, but FCP was fine.
Recently, I did a clean install on my iMac G5 and now FCP wont open just like the rest of the suite because an "AGP graphics card is missing"
There must be some way around this if I did before.

I think this will help...

Differences between Final Cut Express HD 3.5 and Final Cut Studio 5.1

Hi, all,
Unfortunately, I didn't find a list of what the main differences are between those two products on the Apple website - only about the latest versions of the programs.
Since I consider buying a used version of Final Cut Studio 5.1, I would appreciate if someone could give me an idea of what the main features are that come along with FCP as compared to FCE.
I am shooting HD with Canon HV30, so I am primarily interested in the HD features. Thanks a lot!
Cheers,
M.

Filters in FCE process video on a field-by-field basis; in FCE, only Generators process video on a full-frame basis, i.e. in considering both fields of each frame. By contrast, FCP allows you to choose how Filters process video: field-by-field or full-frame. For interlaced playback (e.g., on an NTSC monitor), field-by-field processing may be best, but not necessarily; but for progressive scan playback (e.g., on a flat screen TV, as well as on a computer monitor), video that was shot in progressive mode needs to be processed on a full-frame basis in order to avoid getting artifacts -- at least when applying certain effects.
In short, depending on the mode in which the video was shot, depending on the playback mode, and depending on the effect that you are applying, you may need to control how the corresponding Filter processes video (field-by-field or full-frame), and you can do this only in FCP.
This is also true when applying certain effects that are not explicitly labeled as "Filters", e.g., zoom. For example, if you use FCE to zoom in, over time, on video, the second field of each frame will be zoomed in slightly more than the first (since in essence, FCE "assumes" that the footage was shot in interlaced mode and that therefore, the second field was captured later in time than the first). Consequently, during playback on a flat screen TV, where both fields are displayed simultaneously, the fields will be shifted left-right with respect to one another, which may be quite noticeable.

Final Cut Express (FCE) 1.0 and Tiger 10.4.4--End of my rope...

So I know it's ridiculous that I haven't upgraded from 1.0, but I recently upgraded to Tiger and I am about ready to go PC because of all of the problems it has created--mostly with Final Cut.
I've tried everything in all of the posts, but FCE 1 still won't capture in Tiger. I deleted receipts for QT, upgraded to 7.0.4, re-installed FCE 1. Nothing.
What's the final verdict? Will FCE 1 just never work with Tiger?
I really hate how Apple does this. To use Toast 7 I needed 10.4, now becaue I have 10.4, I have to buy FCE HD, along with iLife again so that everything will work.
If anyone ever figured anything out, let me know. Otherwise I guess I'll just pony up the dough again to update yet another program that isn't compatible. This can't be an oversight on Apple's part. It must be an intentional marketing tactic, because capturing is one of the fundamental functions of FCE.

FWIW, Tiger, FCE 2, and QuickTime 7 do not play nice together
I had forgotten this thread, but since there is activity that brought it back to my attention, I have more information to share:
Tiger, FCE 2, and QuickTime 7 actually do "play nice" and work together great. I tracked my problem down to the means I was using to capture: Formac Studio TVR. The Formac software captures at a large data rate that FCE2/QT7 have trouble with. The Tiger/FCE 2/QuickTime7 work-around I have for this is to render any raw DV files I want to edit before I start. This drops the data rate to one that does not cause problems.
Meantime, I continue to try for a response out of Formac about tweaking their software.
Hope this helps.

Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 and AJA Kona LH card...

Hello,
I just installed the AJA Kona LH PCI-X HD capture card in the G5 2 Ghz dual.
I configured it, but when I go to the "System Settings - effects handling" of Final Cut Pro HD 4.5, I read that all the effects can only be handled by "Final Cut PRO HD": if I click on the selection menu, the only other available heading is "none": no AJA KONA!
This is for all the formats list (DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, DV - PAL, etc...).
So every think I do, FCP must render, and time flows...
Can you help me?
Thank you very much.

But we got this card especially for this reason: hardware acceleration.
I read that it has got this feature in this page:

I don't know more.
