Final Cut Express 2 and a MacBook

I have a MacBook running tiger, and I tried to install an older version of Final Cut Express- version 2.0.2, and it won't let me. It says that I am missing an AGP Graphics Card, which doesn't make sense. Is there any way that I can get this to work? Or do I need to upgrade to a newer version of Express?

actually, it should work. Hit ESC when that message comes up.
FWIW: I can run the program, etc, but after a bit of time, especially when rendering, it starts to toss error messages to the console. Pretty soon (thousands of errors later) it hangs the machine (usually the culprit looks like syslogd taking most of your cpu cycles). Then FCE has to be force-quit and everything is lost.
You should try it though. Maybe my video is just too long or something.

  • Final Cut Express HD and the Macbook Pro

    I just purchased a Macbook Pro along with final cut express HD. After purchase I read that FCE HD won't work with the macbook pro. I was hoping to see if anyone knew if they were coming out with an upgrade to the universal version like they are with Final Cut Pro.
    Intel based macbook pro   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    That will not work. Ian's solution is for dual core G5s and PCIe based iMacs. It does not address Intel based machines like the 2006 iMac and the MacBook Pro. These machines will have to wait till the end of March for the release of new Universal Binary software to run on them. It's possible FCE3 will never run and will need to be upgraded to another version. If you recently purchased FCE HD to run it on this new computer, I'd suggest, if you can, to return it until the position on the new software becomes clear.

    i have a new iMac but having problems installing final cut express 4 from old macbook pro ?

    FCE was discontinued nearly 3 years ago and is no longer supported.
    I don't know whether it's possible to install it on Mavericks and if you do it may not perform properly.
    Final Cut pro X and iMovie are the only Apple apps that are supported.

  • Final Cut Express 4 and avchd

    I read an article that recommended your products so I'm hoping you can help me.  I recently bought a Panasonic AC-90A HD video camera which uses AVCHD recording format. In the article it said that I should be able to upload into Final Cut Express 4 and edit. I can upload to the viewing screen, however, I can't seem to bring the clips into the bins which I need to do to edit. Would you be able to help finding the problem and clearing it so that I can edit.
    Thank you,
    John

    This is a user to user forum. You are not addressing Apple here.
    Can you describe exactly what you are doing and where the problem occurs?
    Can you verify you are using FCE version 4.01?
    On your camera can you verify you are not shooting in the 1080 60P mode? 1080 60P AVCHD was not a standard when Apple discontinued and abandoned FCE, so that functionality was never added.

  • Installing final cut express 3.5 onto macbook pro 10.8.4

    My Final Cut Express 3.5 will not install onto my new macbook pro 10.8.4
    Seems like an awful waste of money...
    Does anybody know of a way around this?
    - or is there someone I can sue?!

    There is a bug in the installer program that will not allow it to install into a Lion or Mt. Lion Mac.  However FCE 3.5 is a Universal app, which will run on Intel Macs without reference to Rosetta.
    Due to its age, there may be some incongruities in this program when run in Lion or Mt. Lion.

    How recently did you purchase this program; and did you purchase it new?  Have you been able to get use from this purchase on your previous Mac?
    peetapix wrote:

    There are two methods to install FCE 3.5 into your Mt. Lion Mac:
    1)  Use Pacifist
    2)  Use Jeremy Johnstone's Terminal method for FCS2, but modified for use with FCE 3.5 (if you are able to figure out those modifications):

  • Final Cut express upgrade for intel macbook pro

    I need help i used to have a G5 desktop and got DVD Studio Pro 3 and then i got Final Cut pro 4 with Upgrade, i try to install this software to the intel Macbook Pro wich i have 2 gig of memory, but if I install DVD Studio Pro 3 and Final Cut pro 4 it will run too slow and there is also the error pf agp graphic card missing i know that if you hit esc will run but it is to slow my hp 2.0ghz is faster i need help on which is the best upgrade for the intel mac so i don't have to purchase the software again i saw on www.apple.com/universal/crossgrade there are some option i call apple and they told me to buy the Final Cut Pro 4 or HD (4.5)for $199.00 but i want to make sure this is what i need to do! help

    Yes you need to crossgrade to 5.1
    The offer only lasts until the end of December and after that it'll probably go back up to $699.
    Also I wanted to point out that you're in the Final Cut Express forum asking about Final Cut Pro. Not a huge deal but in the future you might get better results asking Final Cut Pro related questions in the Final Cut Pro forum.
    i know that if you hit esc will run but it is to slow my hp 2.0ghz is faster
    Your HP runs Final Cut Pro and DVD Studio Pro faster?!? Huh...Bwa?!?
    By this I assume you mean your HP runs comparative programs faster (Avid)

  • Final Cut Express Log and Transfer files not playing audio on another mac

    I recently purchased a new Mac Pro for video editing for work, and am having some issues with it. Previously i was working on a MacBook Pro running OS 10.4.11, on Final Cut Express 4.
    I used Log & Transfer to get the AVCHD videos from my Canon HF 11 onto my mac, and had no issues. Where my problems started was when I moved my video files to my new Mac Pro running OS 10.5.6. Now when I open those video files in either Quicktime or FCE, the VIDEO plays but _not the audio_. I thought maybe the video files were bad, but when I tried the original files on the new Mac, they still didn't work. I don't know if there's some codec that isn't on the new mac or if there's some other problem... I just know that my new amazing machine cannot play the files that my 3 year old one can. I'm not new to computers, but I'm not an Apple guru. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Well I can try trashing the files, but I can't log and transfer the files again, as it's months of footage that aren't on the camera anymore. But i did find something else out. The files that were recorded with the camera's built-in mic recording is fine and with sound, but the files that I used my wireless mic setup had no sound. I don't know why that is, because they worked fine on the MacBook Pro. I tried log and transferring a new clip on the Mac Pro wit;h footage using the wireless mic, and still no sound.

  • Final Cut Express 4 and MacOS 10.6?

    I just bought the new Mac Box Set with Snow Leopard and Final Cut Express 4.
    Thus far, I've been running MacOS 10.4.11 on my MacBook Pro. I have no experience with 10.5 or 10.6.
    I have yet to receive shipment of either software package. Is there anything I should know about when installing Final Cut Express on a Snow Leopard system? (NOTE: I am having this software installed after also having an MCE Technologies 500 GB hard drive also installed, so this will all be a clean install.)
    I have used Final Cut Pro 4.5 before, but never Express.

    Walt,
    I don't think FCE comes with QT pro. I already had QT pro when I loaded FCE so I am not 100 % certain.
    Do you have quicktime Pro now? It looks like you are doing a clean install of Snow Leopard, If you are updating to Snow Leopard and have QT pro it moves QT7 Pro to the utilities folder. With the clean install you need to get QT 7 from the Snow Leopard disk. Then you fire up Quicktime and go to the registration screen and put in your QT pro info.
    Hope this helps you.

  • Final Cut Express 2 and Lion?

    Hi,
    I have some thoughts on FCE2 (2.0.2) and the Lion. Is it fully compatible or is it recommended that I buy Final Cut X in the App Store? I am interested in buying a new MacBook Pro 13-inchand need to know about my Final Cut Express 2 is fully compatible.
    Thanks in advance.

    Have been trying out FCX over the past month or so and not only is there key framing capability, but I would say its key framing techniques are more intuitive and the results superior to the legacy FCE and FCP.
    I think I pretty much agree with Ian Brown's views on the new program.  The majority of FCE (and probably FCS) users should find that FCX is more of an opportunity than a limitation to their creativity. It's different and requires an adjustment to our thinking, but most of us can get the hang of the new approach and terminology (which I am Not a fan of) in short order. (That's not to say that I don't agree with much of the criticism from the film & broadcast people, because I do.)

  • Will Final Cut Express work on a Macbook Core Duo

    I have a 2006 Macbook 2ghz Core Duo with 2gig of Ram. Will Final Cut Express work on this? Will the integrated graphics card affect performance?

    hey there 12frets,
    FCE should run w/out major probs. you should even be able to run a 2nd display up to 23", which would be very handy as the Canvass(playback) window will be rather small on a 13" display.
    FCE System Requirements
    A Mac computer with a 1.25GHz or faster PowerPC G4, PowerPC G5, Intel Core Duo, Intel Core 2 Duo, or Intel Xeon processor
    For AVCHD: A Mac computer with an Intel processor
    1GB of RAM or more
    An AGP or PCI Express graphics card compatible with Quartz Extreme; or an Intel GMA integrated graphics processor in a MacBook or Mac mini computer
    Some FxPlug filters are not compatible with integrated Intel graphics processors.
    A display with 1024-by-768 resolution or higher
    A DVD drive for installation
    Mac OS X v10.4.10 or later
    QuickTime 7.2 or later
    500MB of disk space to install Final Cut Express and LiveType
    Additional 500MB to install LiveType content
    good luck.

  • Final Cut Express 4 and Final Cut Pro 7

    I have been working at school on Final Cut Pro 7
    I just bought Final Cut Express 4 thinking it would be a cheaper way for me work at my home computer. However, when I open my Final Cut files (created in Pro 7) I get a message that says their format is too new for Final Cut Express 4.
    Is there a solution to my problem? Is it really not possible to go back and forth between Final Cut Pro 7 and Final Cut Express 4?
    Is there some creative way of making this work? Help!

    Unfortunately not. You can start the project in FCE. Open it FCP, but once it's saved in FCP, it will no longer open in FCE. (It's not supposed to anyway, though it does rarely in some cases where very little is done in FCP.)

  • Final Cut Express HD and Animoto resolutions don't match

    I imported a 720p video into Final Cut Express HD from Animoto.com (created online with Animoto and downloaded the MP4).
    I added a song and a couple of bookend credits then exported to QuickTime Movie. The resolution of the FC export is significantly lower than the original MP4. Significantly lower. I've tried almost all the export settings in the "QuickTime Conversion" export, but nothing comes close to the resolution of the imported MP4.
    Can anyone see what I might be doing wrong?

    Have a read here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19146995#19146995
    Sounds like your Easy Setup and clips are scrambled to me resulting in degraded footage.
    BTW: MP4 should be transcoded to match an Easy Setup.
    Codecs used in FCE are editing codecs, MP4 is for delivery.

  • What's the deal with Final Cut Express HD and me?

    A few months ago, I encountered a lot of problems when I was trying to capture some HD video using Final Cut Express H.D. I've set my camera (a JVC GR-HD1U) to the MPEG2 setting, and I changed the set up in Final Cut to Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60. The good news is that I was able to capture for about 15 seconds. Then the capture stops, and a message comes up telling me that I have reached the end of the tape. Only I haven't.
    So.....what's the deal here?
    Is there something that I am overlooking, or doing wrong? Or is it just not meant to be for me to capture HD Video?
    If someone could let me know, I would appreciate it.
    Thanks everyone.

    Am I right in thinking this camera isn't compatible/on the supported list? Does it work with iMovie? Perhaps you could capture there and import into FCE?
    I see in your earlier post Manson Root had captured from this camera successfully. Perhaps they will reply again.
