Final Cut Pro 7 Installation

When I try to install Fincal Cut Pro 7, the screen tells me to insert Audio Content 2 disc but does not spit out the previous disk. When I force it to quit, it tells me my install failed. Help!

Hi there.
This is the wrong forum for FCP7.
You need to post here.
Good luck.

Final Cut Pro Studio installation error

Hey... I was installing the software. About half way through installing it said error and stopped; so I'm confused... should I trash everything installed and start all over?

I remember FCP installing first then the other programs but I wasn't paying very close attention.
You either had a strange hiccup or there is something wrong with one of the disks or there was user error.
Still, this should be a pretty simple process - just feed the disks in the order the install program asks for them. If you put in the wrong disk, it will usually tell you 'no that isn't the one I want' and spit it out. Maybe it didn't do that so you should be very clear about which disk you are feeding it.
You might as well try another install. If it crashes out again give Apple care a call. Installation issues are covered for 90 days I believe.
Good luck.

HT5127 how do you remove final cut pro x

i had installd a final cur pro x and i install a final pro cut but it does not come up so how can i get red of the final pro cut x and find the other one thanks

Proper installation is to install Final Cut Studio first. Then install Final Cut Pro X.
The Final Cut Pro X installation will place the Final Cut Studio apps into a folder called "Final Cut Studio". Since you can't have two "Final Cut Pro" apps in the same folder. Then you'd launch FCP X from the Applications folder, and lanuch FCP 7 from the Applications > Final Cut Studio folder.
Both can live on the same system at the same time quite easily.
Here is the Apple support document that explains it all in detail for various types of installation.

How to redownload final cut pro on different computer without installation disc?

I purchased a laptop that has final cut pro on it but it didnt come with an installation disc or anything. I need to put my final cut pro on a different computer...What can I do?

Final Cut Pro X is an app from the Mac App Store. There is no installation disc. Since you said it came pre-installed on your computer, I'm assuming that means you aren't able to go to the Purchased tab of the Mac App Store on a different computer to redownload it. Therefore, I would suggest using an external hard drive or FireWire or thunderbolt or USB connects,etc. to transfer the application between computers along with all the library files from the system library library and 'hidden library'

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 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...

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?

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.

Lost Final Cut Pro Installation Disc

Is there a way to get a replacement disc for Final Cut Pro 5 Academic. I lost mine and have looked hard and can't find it. OR Is there an e-mail for a support team person to Final Cut Pro so I can contact them? Please either answer one/both of the questions.
Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I beleive the answer is No to both.
It's kind of like losing your car ... you may still have the keys but that won't get you far, and the manufacturer is unlikely to send you a replacement.
... ok, its not really like that at all but I think you catch my drift

I have final cut pro 7 can i upgrade to the new pro x or it has to be a fresh installation

i have final cut pro 7 can i upgrade to the new pro x or it has to be a fresh installation

There is no upgrade. It's a separate application.

Installation of Final Cut Pro Version 2013 with OSX 10.7.5

In 2013 I bought Final Cut Pro for my MacBook (version 2007 with OSX 10.7.5). Meanwhile I had to reinstall the hard drive and set-up the MacBook again. As there is now only the latest version available in the AppStore, I cannot install this version 10.1.4 as it is not compatible with my 10.7.5. OSX. Is there any chance to get the version 2013 (June) to install it again? Thanks for support!

Also take a look at this doc.
You could install a more recent OS on a separate drive or partition and run a dual boot system.

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).

Installation Problem with Final Cut Pro X Training Disc

How do I allow read/write permissions with the sparseimage final cut pro X apple pro training series disc? I can't copy the project files to my desktop.

Thanks for the response. I'm not quite sure I understand. I can't copy the file anywhere: The Desktop, HD, Even an external hard disk due to (Error-36) which has something to do with the read/write permissions. I've checked my disk and I'm listed as the administrator with both of these privileges. I can't seem to get read/write from the DVD itself. It's most confusing!!!!!! I'm able to download all other kinds of video from my external sources, but I can't seem to get an uncorrupted file into FCPX.

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...

HT5149 Hi, I still have problems reinstalling Final Cut Pro even though I followed these steps. Didn´t find "com.apple.motionapp.plist" to remove though, but the others I found. Reason why I have to reinstall is because I have repaired my Macbook Pro hard

Hi, I still have problems reinstalling Final Cut Pro even though I followed these steps.
Reason why I have to reinstall is because I have repaired my Macbook Pro hard drive at a Mac Authorized Repair.
Short history of repair and my Final Cut Pro installation:
1. Macbook Pro stopped working, sendt it for repair. Had the Final Cut Pro installed,
2. Desided to try a MiniMac and recovered my backup with Time Machine, got the Final Cut Pro working.
3. Got my Macbook Pro back from repair, did backup on this one as well. But this time only the files not the Applications.
4. Removed the files as mentioned in HT5149. Didn´t find "com.apple.motionapp.plist" to remove though, but the others I found.
5. When I try to install Final Cut Pro from App Store, it downloads the application as planned. But after download it won´t show in the Application folder nor in the downloads folder, nor will it start an installation prosess. If I pause the installation in App Store, I can see the Final Cut Pro icon in my Dock. (But, as mentioned, after installation it won´t show neither here or in the Applications folder).
Any suggestions on what I should try now?
Thanks for any reply, I´m in deep water here...

Sounds like there is a file you're not getting. Never do a removal manually. It's so time consuming and a pain. There's a very easy and fast way to do this, safely, properly.
Get the free "Final Cut Remover" app from Digital Rebellion (dot com), use this to remove FCP X.
Reboot the Mac.
Download from scratch.
If you're not seeing FCP X in your app folder, run Disk Utility to Repair all drives.
If that doesn't help, try running Disk Warrior from Altsoft to repair the directories on all drives.

MPEG2 codec not working in Final Cut Pro on Mac OSX Tiger

We have been using the File-export-Quicktime Conversion-MPEG2 codec for exporting of files from Final Cut Pro to DVD Studio Pro. On the new mac system that was just bought, the option does not show up.
Currently the system is running Quicktime Pro 7.1.2/ FCP 5 and DVD Studio Pro 4 and it is a new mac system running Mac OSX Tiger.
This problem has happened before on a mac running on an older system, but that was solved by reinstalling FCP and then DVD Studio pro and making sure that the QT Pro was of the latest version.
Right now, we have reinstalled everything the same way, tried installing DVD Studio Pro after, we have also done a full software update of the software over the net.
The codec is still not working, all the macs in the office are supposed to be upgraded to Mac osx tiger, but right now we can't do so, cos then we wouldn't be able to burn any DVDs.
Please help, thanks.

The installation of QT 7 is the culprit behind the missing MPEG-2 Export Component. But during upgrades, it doesn't always get rid of the file ... probably what happened on your older system when you upgraded to QT 7 or Tiger. Either the new system came with QT 7 preinstalled, therefore not including the Export Component, or if it was upgraded, the upgrade missed it.
