Final Cut express wont instal on mac book pro

I bought a Mac book pro last night and today I attempted loading the FCE 2.0 and then using the upgrade version FCE HD4 and It told me my HD 4 version had an invalid serial number (it works fine on my imac 24 in) And so I figured I would just look at the FCE 2.0 and open it up. It wont open and it gives me a error message RGP ERROR. You do not have a graphics card or sufficient software to run this program....
Have no clue Tried rebooting.. I will call apple in the AM. I told the guys at the store that I was using FCE 2.0 and no one said that It wouldn't work...
Any similar issues with anyone else?
Thanks
TIM

There is no need to install FCE2.
Just install the FCE4 upgrade as it is actually a Full Retail version with one tiny difference ....... you will have to input both the old and the new serial numbers.
Make sure you get the numbers exactly right or they won't work.
Before reinstalling you should remove every trace of the existing installations by deleting the files listed here:-

You can ignore the LiveType and Soundtrack items.

  • Final Cut Express 2 on new Mac Book Pro

    I recently got a MacBook Pro and loaded Final Cut Express 2 on there but it says it needs an AGP Graphics Card to work. Any info on this? Thanks.

    Hi Rupert.
    You will probably find that FCE2 works slower than it should.
    You really need to upgrade to FCE3.5 ($99 US / £65 UK) which is designed for maximum performance on your MBP.
    It is also a much more advanced program and contains the mind-blowing LiveType and Soundtrack which alone are worth the upgrade fee.
    For a permanent solution (for FCE2) to stop the error message ever appearing again you can use this hack:-
    1. Right click (Control-click) on the FCE application icon (NOT the one in the dock) and select "Show Package Contents".
    2. Open the "Contents" folder and double click the "info .plist". It should open automatically in TextEdit - if it doesn't, choose TextEdit manually.
    3. Around 15 or so lines down you will see AGP. Delete it and put in PCI.
    4. Close the window and when asked if you want to save the changes, say yes.

    Hi,
    welcome to FCP forum.
    Yes, FCP works fine with the X1600.

  • I have been using final cut express for years and now want to switch to final cut studio 3. do I have to remove final cut express before installing final cut studio 3 or can I have them both installed at the same time on one computer?

    I have been using final cut express for years and now want to switch to final cut studio 3. do I have to remove final cut express before installing final cut studio 3 or can I have them both installed at the same time on one computer?

    You can have them both on the same computer as I and many others have done for years.
    Just go ahead and install FCS 3 normally.
    There will be absolutely no problems.

  • TS3528 What to do if Final Cut Express was installed after Aperture, on a new MaBook Pro Retina running OS X 10.7.4?

    What to do if Final Cut Express was installed after Aperture, on a new MaBook Pro Retina running OS X 10.7.4?

    Bear in mind 10.7 and FCE are not supported working together.
    FCP X is the supported application for Lion.
    Users find FCE can mostly work to not working at all with Lion.
    You can dowmlaod a trial of FCP X from the App Store.

    os x could not be installed on Mac book pro because storage system verify or repair failed.
    When i open disk utility HDD does not let me repair.

    In order to repair the system disk you must boot from another disk drive. The operating system will not allow the disk drive it is running from to be repaired.
    Book the MBP and create a bootable clone on an external disk drive. Then boot from the external disk drive and repair the system disk drive from there.

  • How to install Final Cut Express on a different mac

    Hi everybody,
    my dead iMac is under repair. Now, I need to install Final Cut Express on a different machine but I don't understand if this is possible. I mean, at the end of the process the installer will ask me to register the product, but the product is yet registered. And i'm not going to torrent final cut studio... I bought the original sw!
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks everybody

    Thank you, Ian. It's not a laptop, just the mac of a friend of mine, so i'll have to uninstall it AFTER a good restore from Time Machine...

  • I installed Final Cut Express in new I-Mac OSX Lion 10.7.2 and it won´t start

    I just installed Final Cut Express 4 on a new IMac with OS X 10.7.1 and can´t get it sto launch.

    It's an accomplishment that you were even able to install it on Lion (normally it won't even install on Lion).
    But as you have already found out, it won't start, and even if it does it is not likely to run properly.  Apple discontinued FCE and do not support it on Lion.  You should get Final Cut Pro X instead.

  • Final Cut Express wont make make a self contained movie

    Until recently I have always been able to export my movies from final cut express HD without any problems. They save as final cut express movie files. Now when I come to export a movie, I click on " make self contained movie" and what I get is a quicktime movie that is split into 3 parts, one named whatever I had told it to save as and the other 2 with the same name but -av1 or -av2 after it. If either of these is deleted the original wont play but they wont open on their own. There is sufficient hard drive space and they are all saved in the same folder. There appears to be a 2GB maximum file size as the first movie is 2 GB the second is 2 GB and the third is whatever is left over. Anything smaller than 4 GB just saves as a 2GB plus whatever is lreft over! They will play if original video clips are deleted so they are independent but wont play if one of the 3 is missing. Please help this is driving me scatty
