Final Cut Pro 5.1 upgrade with FCS2 disks

I have Final Cut 5.1 installed, but I uninstalled the rest of the Final Cut studio applications, I purchased the FCS2 upgrade and am wanting to know if the disks will upgrade Final Cut without me having the rest of the applications installed, or will I need to reinstall the full studio package to take advantage of the new Final Cut and Color.

The answer to your question is, without regard to opinions on what's a good or bad idea, the entire suite is on the disks. You can load them on a clean unused hard drive or over your present drive which contains some or all of the earlier programs.
A search of these forums will probably result in much advice saying do a clean install... that is totally erase your hard drive, reinstall OSX 10.4.10 and then install FCS2. Not everyone believes that is an absolute necessity and the choice is yours.
You will find that FCS2 (Final Cut6) will not interface well with earlier versions of Compressor, Motion, etc.. If in fact, it will work with them at all. It is best to install all of FCS2, upgrading every element of the suite, then deleting any of the various programs you do not wish to use. But don't be too quick on the trigger... try them, you'll like many of them and wonder how you got along without them in the past.

  • I am putting together a proposal for a Final Cut Pro Workstation to use with a tapeless HD camera.  Can anyone suggest the best camera (in the 5-10,000 dollar range) ?  What hardware and software should I include in the package?

    I am putting together a proposal for a Final Cut Pro Workstation to use with a tapeless HD camera.  Can anyone suggest the best camera (in the 5-10,000 dollar range) ?  What hardware and software should I include in the package?

    This is quite an open suggestion, but here are some ideas which might get you started.  There are good HD cameras in your price range from Sony, Panasonic and Canon (and maybe other manufacturers). Tapeless formats vary.  I have only worked with Sony XDCAM which seems pretty good to me.  File sizes for material shot at 35MBS are not too huge and, with the free Sony transfer and conversion programme, are easy to bring into the computer via USB direct from the camera or from a fairly inexpensive converter.  The Sony XDCAM EX3 can produce results well up to broadcast quality.
    As to hardware, you'll need a powerful MAC - iMac, Macbook Pro or MacPro with 4GB or more of RAM and a good video card.  Softwarewise, FCPX is quite a bit cheaper than FC Studio 3 and of course it's 64bit and can make better use of multi-core machines than FCP7.    It's also designed to handle HD formats with less hassle than FCP7 and is matched to the latest versions of Motion and Compressor.   But you'd probably be wise to search reviews of FCPX before you make your choice - it has some issues.
    A good HD monitor will be essential and, for colour correction etc, you may want to consider a second monitor or HD TV foe editing. ( A MacPro is generally the best machine to connect a second monitor to). 
    This should give you a good editing system, but there are many other things you could add (Photoshop, professional sound monitors, etc)
    Hope this helps a bit.

  • Final Cut Pro does not work with Yosemite. Can it be fixed?

    Final Cut Pro does not work with Yosemite. Can it be fixed?

    Hi Tom, I don't know if you can help me.
    I'm using Final Cut version 10.1.4 with Yosemite 10.10.2 and whenever I open FCP it opens for about 5 seconds (not allowing me to click anywhere) before closing with the message  "Final Cut Pro quit unexpectedly. click reopen to open the application again. This report will be sent to apple automatically." I have tried opening it multiple times and the same thing has been happening over and over again and i've tried everything I could find on the internet and nothing is working.
    HELP.
    Jada.

  • Problem: Final Cut Pro X inaccurately reports "Out of disk space", when I have 333GB free.

    Problem: Final Cut Pro X inaccurately reports "Out of disk space", when I have 333GB free.
    Trying to "share" the compound clip I've created as an mp4 1080p file.

    Editing MP4 media can create all sorts of havoc with FCP.
    Convert the clips to .mov files – either Compressor or MPEG Streamclip will do that – preferably in Pro Res 422

  • Final Cut Pro X share fails with QuickTime Error -50

    Hello!
    I'm facing a very annoying issue when trying to share my project from Final Cut Pro X. It used to work perfectly fine but now I'm getting consistently "QuickTime Error -50" after FCPX exported about 10% of my project. This can be reproduced with other project as well - one time I was able to export by restarting my machine but not anymore.
    My configuration is a Mac Pro early 2008 with a ATI Radeon 5770. The only recent change I did to my config was to upgrade my old graphic cards to the Radeon 5770: do you think this can be the cause of this error?
    Thanks for any help,
    Jean

    I am also expriencing the same error. Tried every solution listed so far:
    1. Switch off background rendering. Trash render files. Don't render. Export.
    2. copying the project within Final Cut Pro into another project
    3. remove the following folder: Library > Application Support > ProApps > MIO > RADPlugins > XDCAMFormat.RADPlug
    Nothing worked. I try to export to Vimeo, YouTube, and master. All error right at 9%

  • HT201109 Final Cut Pro 10.1 crashes with Motion 5.1 custom Scrolling text and Graphics titles

    Dec 29, 2013 1:33 PM 
    found out why Final Cut 10.1 won't load my custom titles without crashing. When scrolling text in Motion 5.1 if you ad a graphic to scroll with the text Final Cut 10.1 will crash. If I remove the graphic in Motion and then load it into Final Cut 10.1 it will work.
    So Graphics and scrolling do not work. The graphics are .jpg, .png, .tiff, .psd. I don't know how to fix it. Hopefully someone out there does.

    Thanks Tom for the advice. I have four external hard disks, all of them formatted with Mac OS Extended Journaled. On all devices (2TB) I have more than half free space. They are connected either with Thunderbolt or USB3 cables. Different manufactures:  LaCie, Toshiba, WD and Samsung. I face the same crash problem if I connect a UBS drive 16GB or a any other device to the USB ports including the Sony Video camera connected with a USB1 cable. Same problem on ALL my computers! To work properly, I have to disconnect all USB devices and work only with internal hard disks. I also tried to format the MacbookPro (erasing the partitions with a new installation) but I have the same problem. I really lost hope...

  • Final Cut Pro X and Macbook with 9400M chip. Has anyone tried it?

    I have a late 2009 Macbook with Nvidia GeForce 9400M graphics chip. I've got 4 gig RAM installed. Apple lists this chip as working with Final Cut Pro X. Has anyone tried it on a Macbook? Is the performance adequate or should I wait until I get a more powerful laptop?

    Yep, I've got a Macbook with that chipset and it runs FCPX. It's not blindingly quick but it work.

  • HT4682 Does anybody know if Final Cut Pro X is compatible with, or equipped to receive input from MovieBox DV?

    I borrowed a MovieBox DV (by Pinnacle Systems) to try to digitize analog video from my Super 8 video camera cassettes onto my new iMac. I followed the MovieBox instructions to connect the analog video camera to the MovieBox DV and then onto my iMac. I opened first Final Cut Pro X and tried to import the digitized video, but my iMac does not seem to be recognizing or receiving the digitized input from the MovieBox DV.
    Does anybody have any suggestion on how to make this digitization work?
    Thanks,
    Novice1965

    FCP X needs a source with timecode, which means that you probably need some other tool to ingest your footage.
    Quicktime Player can probably do it (File->New Movie Recording).

    I don't know what terms you ** SEARCHED **
    But the list referenced above (click on the term searched) has quite a few.
    If you work with FCP/ Logic/ ProTools, etc in any professional capacity, you may want to wait until the fallout settles. This is especially true if you use 3rd party cards & drivers. Otherwise, get a new drive and install everything from scratch.
