Final Cut Pro 4 for Intel Mac

I have FCP 4.0 on an older Mac. I recently purchased a new intel Mac Pro. I'm trying to install FCP 4.0 on my new intel Mac Pro but it will not install. I get an error message about not being compatible with intel. Does anyone know if there is an upload to correct this problem? I don't have the extra money to buy the software again.
Thanks for your help,
Michelle

According to the Apple website: [http://store.apple.com/AppleStore/WebObjects/BizCustom?qprm=78313&productLearn More=MA886Z/A]
Upgrade Eligibility
The upgrade version requires a valid serial number from a commercial version of
Final Cut Studio, Production Suite, or Final Cut Pro 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. Academic
and not-for-resale versions are not eligible for this upgrade.
Elsewhere on the page:
Buy New $1,299.00
Upgrade from Final Cut Studio* $499.00
Upgrade from Final Cut Pro or Production Suite* $699.00
Not bad, considering what you get in FCS: DVD studio Pro, Motion, Soundtrack Pro, Color etc...
If money is really tight, and all you want to do is edit, look into Final Cut Express HD @ $199 - includes Livetype and supports FXPlug 3rd party plugins, but that's about all (unless AVCHD means anything to you).
You can always use iDVD for your DVDs.

Final cut pro for intel mac

hey i have a macbook and have final cut pro 5 HD powerpc version and i was wondering will it work on my mac? isen't there a program called rosetta on the intel macs the lets the power pc programs work on the intel macs? help please.

The question has come up daily since the Intel Macs were shipped so you might try searching back a few weeks for more definitive information and check the FCP marketing/upgrade pages for a clear explanation of minimum system requirements
No. Your older version will not run on your new Intel Mac using Rosetta. You must upgrade to 5.1.1., the universal version.

Final Cut Pro for PowerPc G3 Mac

is there Final Cut Pro for PowerPc G3 Mac, Im pretty sure I need version 2.0, so please comment a download like, or comment if you know anything, thanks

This is the Final Cut Pro X forum. The software you want is not supported on any forum. Obsolete Intel technology is on the Final Cut Studio forum.
Bottom line: modern camera formats are not available for PowerPC technology. You need to upgrade your hardware.

Rendered in Windows Movie Maker, usable in Final Cut Pro for mac?

Rendered some footage on a pc and have since lost the DV tape with it on.
Is there a way to use the window's video clip file in Final Cut Pro on a mac?
If so, will there be a big loss in quality?
many thanks for reading.

for some reason after using those programs Final Cut was still not able to edit the file...would there be any explaination for this? or anything else we could try?
There's only one likely reason, you did not use a setting that would produce a QT-compatible file. Provide that information and we'll keep trying.

HT4664 Can I use final cut pro X on " Mac mini" ?

Can I use final cut pro X on " Mac mini" ?

depending on what model: for sure yes, it does!
I did use FCPX on an old MacMini, c2d, 2.26GHz with 8GB Ram (using proxies made editing easy).
My actual work-horse is a MacMini i5, late 2012, 16GB Ram, plus some ext. usb3 drives = perfect for my needs! (costs vs. power)
I'm using two cheap 2.5" Toshiba 1TB usb3-drives, combined with MacOS' built-in DiskUtility as a Raid0 = 150mbps for under 100€ ... not professional (=raid0 contains a small risk of data loss), but again: best €-vs.-HP ratio

Final Cut Pro X and Mac Caption Site Licenses

How much does it cost for a site license for Final Cut Pro X and Mac Caption? I need to have one computer going for production and one for training someone. Is there 501C-3 pricing available?

FCP X can be used on as many Macs as you own. Be sure each is logged in to your iTunes/App Store account. So for two Macs that you own, you can download to both, only pay for one.
There is a bulk license deal for it, but you'd need to be running 10+ Macs before you'd get any discount or anything.
Mac Caption is an issue you'll have to take up with them.

I have purchased Final Cut Pro for my imac and now want to put it onto my macbook air so I can use it when away from my desk. How can I do this

I have purchased Final Cut Pro for my imac and now want to put it onto my macbook air so I can use it when away from my desk. How can I do this

I took away my backup disk with me so just took it from there excellent. I am back home at present working on my imac. When I go to use my macbook air on these projects (when away on boat) is it easiest to simply copy the Project and Events folders in total from my imac onto the other machine and do the same upon my return in reverse? I don't use icloud

Final Cut Pro on a Mac Book Pro

My daughter is going to buy a Mac Book Pro, 15", 2.4GHz, 2GB and 160GB hard drive. She intends to have the commercial Final Cut Pro downloaded onto it. I don't know anything about it but she says it is the very expensive software that is used commercially-whatever that may be. Is the Mac Book Pro just described sufficient to run it or would she need a larger HD and more ram beyond the 2GB? Should she get the glossy or regular screen?

Before I got my MBP, I had edited and postproduced multiclip sequences for years on my Powerbook 15" with just 1.5Gb RAM, running both After Effects and Photoshop alongside FCP without a problem. Apart from the graphics card, the the MB is a faster and better machine than my old pal, and I can't see a good enough reason to completely overlook it.
The differences in "FCP-stats" are marginal. What the MBP has over the MB in FCP-land is
* FW800 bus, providing better speed to the external disks (not needed for consumer material)
* Native DVI-output (in contrast to the MB's proprietary miniDVI connector)
* FCP might also find some help in the better graphics card of the MBP.
... but not enough to entirely outrule the MB. If you're on a budget, I'd concider it.
But the MBP / MP is definitely the weapon of choice!

Which final cut pro for my emac?

So I'm getting a bit bored with imovie's lack of multi layered video, and am wanting a program that can my emac can handle but that can do mutli layered video.
Final cut pro/express was my first thought, but I really dont know which version i should get.
Any one have any ideas?
My emac is a 1.25 GHz model, with 768 MB of RAM.
And for the record, I've got plenty of space for the movies on a 500GB firewire harddrive.

I run Final Cut Studio 1 (FCP 5.1) on my eMac with similar spec to you (1GB ram though).
And... it's ok.
I believe that at least FCP 6 (Studio 2) will run on an eMac... BUT I don't know how "good" it will run. And, considering you can only buy it as part of FCP studio, you are paying for apps that will NOT run - ie Color and Motion.
THAT said, FCP studio (current; FCP 7) is the only one you can buy from Apple today. And that is Intel only.
My advice... to "try" Final Cut out - get Final Cut Express. Look on eBay etc for version 3.5 though, as I understand that version was actually better (more features) than the recent v4.
FCE will give you a good feel of what FCP is about, and may well even be "enough" for your needs. Cheaper than finding a viable FC Studio option.

How to get final cut 5 for older Mac

Can't discuss getting codes on this forum. There are copyright restrictions. Sorry. But you might find better support buying the full package from someone who does not wish to keep their own copy. Usergroups are excellent sources for finding people with older software.

Final cut ex on intel macs

can you put final cut express on the new intel macs?

Yes but it is not ideal - it will run slower etc. We are expecting a new improved version designed for Intel-Macs.
If you already have FCE you can make it work by hitting the "esc" key when you get the error message.

Final Cut Pro 6 on Mac OS Snow Leopard installation problem HELP!!!

After 2 - 3 hours of installing all 10 FCS 2.0 discs and Software Updates, I can't seem to launch Final Cut Pro 6.0.6. I get *"...software maybe damaged or not installed.."* So I removed all of them and only custom-installed Final Cut Pro 6.0.6. It works with no problem!!! Then I custom-installed Soundtrack, Motion, DVD Studio Pro etc..., I can't launch Final Cut Pro 6.0.6. again! What the **** is going on? I get that "damaged" warning and Final Cut Pro icon is replaced by missing application icon.
My Mac Pro also has _Pro Tools 8 LE_ with _003 Mixer Rack connect to USB_. That's it. No other application. You think this is maybe causing the problem?
Anyone having similar problem?

https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2494
Carbon Copy Cloner is pretty simple to use. If you have any questions, post back or read the documentation. As I said in the user tip, test your clone after you make it to be sure it is bootable and your apps work.

Exporting from Final Cut Pro for DVD Studio Pro

In the recent DVDs I've made, the quality seems lower than it has before. I don't think I've changed anything, but I was wondering what is the best format to export a clip from Final Cut Pro and the best way to encode those clips in DVD Studio Pro. Thanks for all your help!
Erin

The best and only format is mpeg2/m2v.
The encoding rate for video is based on the length of the sequence in h/m/s.
They should not be encoded in DVDSP, but exported as a self contained with current settings, no recompression and dropped into Compressor.
Based on length and the type of footage, elect a preset for video and elect Dolby 2 for audio

Advantages of using Final Cut Pro for animation

Is there anyone out there using Final Cut Pro 6 that could tell me what they feel are the advantages of using FCP 6 for animation as compared to Final Cut Express 3.5?

Okay, cool. I was gonna use that in the first place but I'm still learning it and so far all I know how to do on it is clean up the audio. I'm going through a Soundtrack Pro book right now and had to stop because I couldn't continue without a microphone. I'm getting that microphone this week and by the time I have the next batch of audio files to edit I'll know what I'm doing in Soundtrack Pro.
Thanks for the suggestion, I was seriously coming back to this question to elaborate for the sake of bumping this.
Oh yeah, if Soundtrack Pro is the answer, is it possible to bypass FCP on the way in AND on the way out?
