Final Cut Pro 5 Studio Installation

Is there a work around to install Final Cut Pro 5 Studio to another drive other than the Applications folder on the Start-up Disk? I have 2 LaCie 500 Gb hard drives available via Firewire 800.
Between the operating system with iLife, Final Cut Pro 5 Studio, and Garage Band Rythem Pack, 60 Gb of this laptops 100 Gb hard drive is already used.
And lastly, if not possible to load in another hard drive, is the content for each application (such as templates) where most of the space is being taken up? I see that when loading, I had the option to load these to a custom location.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

/Users/Shared contains all the templates and media for Motion (5.91 GB). /Library/Application Support/ contains folders for LiveType (10.93 GB), DVD Studio Pro (8.7 GB), and Sound Track Pro (315 MB).

I had downloaded and used Final Cut Pro 7 (studio 3) on my mac, but it died. Can I download it to my new computer without buying a new copy? I'm not sure of the number of installations for academic copies. How would I do this?

AH...good.
There is no limit on the times you can install it from the DVDs. There's just a limit as to being able to run it on multiple machines AT THE SAME TIME. If your old computer dies, or you sell it (please reformat the drive so they don't get FCP for free), then you can install on a new computer fine. And you are allowed to install on (1) desktop and (1) laptop at the same time as well...but only use it on one machine at any given time. Meaning you can use it on the desktop at work, and then when away from the office, on your laptop.
Long story short...you can install it fine without any issues.

Final Cut Pro 2 Studio CORPORATE EDITION ???

i am looking to buy final cut from someone on craigslist - they say that it is a CORPORATE VERSION of FINAL CUT PRO 2 STUDIO - i asked if it was transferable and they said that i could not register it in my name but i would be able to upgrade it - is this true ?? - should i stay away

'Corporate' is a code word among warz dudes and dudettes. It's supposed to mean you can install it and not get caught for using an invalid serial number.
In this case, I suspect the seller is trying to give the impression the SN is a Volume License, usually purchased by corporations. That's why you would not be able to register it, and also the why you would not be able to upgrade it.
Run away from this one. It's a scam.

I have a newer MacBook Pro and I am trying to download my Final Cut Pro 7 Studio 2 on it. Is that possible or does the new MacBook Pro not support anything other than Final Cut Pro X?

As Tom said the FCS forum is the better place to post the question.
Here is Apple's best practices doc for installing both on the same system.
BTW, FCP7 is part of the FCS 3 suite of apps.

I am trying to install Final cut pro studio V1.0.1 (2005) on OS X lion. I get a message "You can't open the application final cut studio.mpkg because power pc application are no longer supported

I am trying to install Final cut pro 5 studio V1.0.1 (2005) on OS X lion. I get a message "You can't open the application final cut studio.mpkg because power pc application are no longer supported. My computer is New. Is their a link I can go to get tech support?

You won't find any help at tech support ... other than telling you the facts: Intel processor Macs require FCP 5.1 or higher. FCP 5.0 and earlier were written for PowerPC processor Macs, long before Apple switched to using Intel processors.
And then there's the issue of the OS. OS 7 will allow FCP 7 (and sometimes even FCP 6) to work OK, but versions earlier than that have spotty operation on Lion.
Here's a brief history of full FCP versions and recommended OS compatibility:
* = requires PPC             ** = works with both PPC and Intel                          *** = require Intel
FCP 1.0*       OS 9
FCP 2.0*       OS 9
FCP 3.0*       OS 9, OS 10.1, OS 10.2
FCP 4.0*       OS 10.2, 10.3
FCP 4.5*       OS 10.3
FCP 5.0*       OS 10.3 (OS 10.4?)
FCP 5.1**     OS 10.4, 10.5
FCP 6.0**     OS 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 (OS 10.7?)
FCP 7.0***    OS 10.6, OS 10.7
FCP-X***       OS 10.6, OS 10.7
Essentially, you have a newer Intel processor Mac with a new OS and very old, incompatible software.   You might be able to find a used version of Final Cut Studio 3 on sites like ebay or craigslist as it is no longer offered by Apple as an upgrade.
Alternatively, you could purchase and download FCP-X, but it is an entirely different application, sharing virtually nothing with previous versions of FCP.

Buying Older Versions of Final Cut Pro or Final Cut Studio

Is it possible to get new older versions of Final Cut (Pro or Studio) from Apple?
Or License Keys?
I'm not ready to take the plunge to the latest versions yet.
If not from Apple, where would I buy LEGAL versions?

Official Apple stores pull ALL old software the moment new versions come to market. For example, if you tried to purchase a copy of FCS from Apple the day after FCS2 was released, you'll be told it was no longer available. However, there can be a lot of software in other distribution channels - you just have to work harder to find it.
If you go the internet route, you need to be VERY careful that what you purchase will fit your situation. You do not want to be purchasing an UPGRADE package if you do not already own a qualifying product. The registration process will not work without the correct previous version's serial number (SN).
As an example of the subtlety of the situation, if the software is listed as the FCP 5.1 CROSSGRADE, it may or may not include a SN depending on the version it was intended to upgrade. I believe owners of v 5.0 did not get new serial numbers but users of 4.5 and earlier as well as those who had academic licenses received new serial numbers.
No matter what version you purchase, you need to receive all the install disks as well as all written material along with the serial numbers (if they were included - see above). I'm not trying to dissuade you but just letting you know there are a number of 'gotchas' out there.
Good luck,

Issue with Final Cut Pro 7 and Maverick OS.

I wanted to know if anyone was having issues with the new OS X 10.9.4 and Final Cut Pro 7 Studio? Are there any other solution other than purchasing new editing software?

I have FCP 7 running successfully on Mavericks 10.9.4 - although I mainly use Premiere Pro/Adobe CC now.

It will likely run FCP but won't run Motion or Color. If the fastest external drive connection you have is FW800 then you'll be somewhat limited in the number of streams of video you can work with at the same time.
Also, it would run better with 4 GB RAM.

Final Cut Studio Pro 2 Install - Skip Final Cut Pro itself - TT_NEWALREADYI

Dear All,
I hope you can help. I have just bought a new Macbook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4GB RAM, with OS X 10.4.10 running. It came with iLife 08.
I installed Logic Studio 8 (which was successful), and have been trying to install my copy of Final Cut Studio 2. When I run the installation, the options appear for custom install, but FInal Cut Pro, Compressor and QMaster are greyed out, and the action identified for them is "skip. If I rest the mouse over any of the options the text TT_NEWERALREADYINSTALLED appears.
I have tried uninstalling the Logic Studio components with AppZapper, and retrying the install of Final Cut Studio, but no matter what I try to do, it won't install Final Cut Pro.
Can anybody help?
Kind Regards,
Nick.

Setting up final cut pro studio after fault

Hi
I installed final cut pro studio a few months ago but my mac then had to go in for repair. I have since had it back but when trying to run any of the studio applications, when asked to enter my serial number again it says it cannot run application as licensing data is corrupt.
can anyone help?
thanks

If it was my mac, I'd archive anything of importance to another drive or cd's or data dvd's, then do a complete erase and install of everything, starting with the OS.
Install OS, run the updates, install applications, run the updates. Repair permissions and reboot after every installation. You'll be stunned at how spiffy your machine will then be.
You can search this forum for how to just trash the corrupt licensing data. But personally, I wouldn't do that. FWIW.

Code for Final Cut Pro 2 not being accepted by FC Studio 2

I upgraded to OS X 10.4.11 from 10.4.2. The FC Studio 2 icon would bounce a few times and stop, but nothing else would happen. 10.4.2 was reinstalled, erasing everything. An attempt was made at starting FCP 2, but the OS is not finding the files necessary in OS 9.
Upgrades Final Cut Pro 4 and FC Studio 2 were made since purchasing FCP 2 as a full package approximately 7 years ago, but FC Studio 2 is not accepting the code for Final Cut Pro 2. How do I correct the problem short of buying the full FC Studio 2 or buying a new hard drive?
Thank you.

It doesn't make sense to me either. As Thomas stated, the crossgrade that required you to send in your old FCP install disc was for Final Cut Studio version 1 (which included FCP 5.1) - NOT version 2. And regardless of the fact that you sent in your install disc, you should still have the serial number for FCP 4. It was printed on two stickers that were attached to the "Installing Your Software" booklet that was included when you purchased FCP 4 (upgrade or full retail versions).
There is NO need to have the old software installed in order to install and upgrade to FCS 1 or 2. All you need is the serial number form the older version; you'll be prompted to enter it during the install process for FCS 1 or 2.
FCP 2 may install on an OSX version, but will NOT run on ANY OSX version - it only runs on a full installation of OS 9.

Final Cut Pro Installation Woes

I hope this is the correct forum for this question. I have today received my Final Cut Studio upgrade via the Apple Universal Binary programme. When I try to install the upgrade I get an error message claiming I don't have enough privilages to perform this installation. It then installs the software but when I try to run any of the programs my Mac asks for the serial number and again claims I do not have the correct privilages. I am the administrator on my system (indeed the only user) and I have repaired permissions using disk utility - but this has not corrected the problem.
Can anyone help?

The same here...
I just deleted some preference and support files, following as a guideline the following article from Apple on how to unistall Final Cut Express (could not find anything about Final Cut Pro):
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301182
and now all apps in Final Cut Studio work properly...
Hope it helps...

Upgrade Final Cut Pro HD to Studio on an Intel iMac

When I transferred Final Cut Pro HD from a G5 to an Intel Core 2, I bought a copy of Final Cut Studio (upgrade) to upgrade the software. Sales told me this would work. However, I get an invalid serial number error when I enter the old serial number (after previously entering the new software's number). I can't find a way to ask Apple about this in the support area. Can anyone give me a lead?
John Sweeney
<Edited by Host>

The FCP HD isn't an academic version, is it?
Or a Not For Resale (NFR) version?
If it isn't either of those issues, call Applecare. The support number is in the documentation you received with the upgrade. Installation issues have free 90 day support.

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.
