Final Cut Pro / Quicktime /Mac OS version

Hello all worldwide,
I would like to know, for each version of Final Cut Pro (3 to latest at least), which version of Mac OS I should have and which version of quicktime I should also have to be sure the soft will work properly, as its best.
Have anyone ever made such a board ?
I need the technical caracteristics to do it but I'm unable to find that info on the support website, except for the latest version of final cut.
Thanks a lot if someone has any idea where to find the informations or, better, if you happen to know where I can find that board.
Marie

You're in totally the wrong place... this is the Mac Pro (no Book) forum for hardware. You want
Final Cut Pro X: Professional Applications: Apple Support Communities
Hopefully, FCP X has an autosave feature Like Final Cut Pro Studio so that you may already have a recent copy. If I were in your shoes, I'd try an ESC or something similar before going to a Forced Quit.
Good luck

IIs there an export function from Lightroom? Did you export? Does the exported file contain your edit?
THe hard drive file size doesn't matter. What matters is the image size, it's dimensions in pixels.
IN FCP press Cmd-J to see the project properties.

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.

Unable to install final cut pro on mac pro computer

Hello,
I started to use my new MacPro (Please see specs. at bottom of Page) and tried to install Final Cut Studio but never succeeded. I never can go beyond disk “apple loops for soundtrack pro.” the application “installer” quits unexpectedly each time. Does anyone has had the same problem? I would truly appreciate any help on this matter.
Thank you,

You'll be needing the univeral version of FCP (FCP

Might clean the disks... if that fails and you do
have the Unversal version, Call Apple. Could have a
bad disk, and new install issues over the phone
support are free. 1-800-myapple.

Jerry,
I thank you very much for your help. i will follow your advice and get the 5.1 universal version. do you know if i need to uninstall the version (final cut pro 5) that is on my computer.

Final Cut Pro 3-Mac Pro 3.2 Xeon

I'm trying to install my copy of FCP 3 onto my Mac Pro 3.2, and every time I try to launch it gives me the error "Final Cut Pro" requires a System ID file which is missing or Invalid. Please reinstall using the original CD that was used to install Final Cut Pro." I have done this several times, and re-booted, and the same error comes up. I want to but the upgrade to FCP STudio 2, but I want to find out what is happening with this first. Thanks.
Brad

Thank you very much Jim. I suspected that was the case. I assume there is no problem buying the upgrade version ($699) as opposed to the full version ($1299). I have never launched FCP 3 on this machine, so I have never been able to enter the Serial Number. Just wanted to make sure before I spent the money. Again, thanks.

Final cut pro make Mac pro kernel panic with RAM from other manufacturers

hi all
if i installed RAM For mac Pro from 667MHz DDR2 fully buffered ECC RAM from other manufacturers
final cut pro (just final cut)
make the machine kernel panic messege
all programs working good (like adobe and other compositing program) but final cut freez the machine and kernel panic
the standard RAMs good

Ahmed:
You can try visiting/searching the Expanding your Power Mac G5 forum. You'll find A LOT of help about RAM issues.
Any RAM brand must work but you maust be sure it follows the MAc specs. Some brand sites have good product locator by computer manufacturer/model (i.e. Kingston and Crucial). In fact there is no Apple branded RAM, they use a lot of different ones.
Inside FCP settings you'll find how to manage the memory that the program use, but that settings depends on the total quantity of memory you have installed, and you didn't post that information.

How do I continue editing a project from the trial version of final cut pro to the paid version

I have been working on a project on the trial version of final cut pro x. I bought the full version even though my trial wasn't up yet. When I opened the paid version my projects from the trial are not in there. I also closed the trial and opening the paid version and my projects were still not there. How do I get my projects to show in the paid version?

I have a 'similar' problem, but your advice above does not work (or does not seem to work). My Trail version of Final Cut Pro 10.1.1 expired before I completed my first/only movie project.
I purchased FCP yesterday. Now I want to "import" the video files and the movie project (not sure if that's the correct terminology - I am still a newbie) into FCP 10.1.1 - Please advise?

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.

HT1338 Not able to update Final Cut Pro X to latest version.

Macbook Pro 15" 2.6gHz, Retina display notebook:
When I try to update Final Cut Pro X (version 10.0.1) from within the software, the dialogue returns that all software is up to date. I know for a fact that FCP X is now at version 10.0.5. Spotlight is enabled for all system and software. How do I updage my FCP X?? Help. Thank you.

Thank you for your reply. I followed your suggestion: Checked once more in the App Store for the Update to Final Cut Pro 10.0.4 and did NOT find it. So, I deleted FCP X version 10.0.0 to the trash bin. I emptied the Trash Bin. Now when I go to the App Store, the only option I can find is to purchase a new application. There is no where to simply download the application in the App Store that I can find. I hope I have not been led to delete my working application and can not retrieve an update!!
What do you further suggest at this juncture? Thank you.

Cannot reinstall final cut pro x free trial version

According to the Apple web you can reinstall Final Cut Pro X free trial. Following instructyions I removed all final cut files. It did not work. I then used "ProMaintenance" to make sure all files are deleted. Same unsuccessful result: Unable to install it the second time. I get 2 options: "Buy" or "Quit". Any help appreciated. ty

within the 30d period.
or, do you want on an Apple hosted site like this advice to circumvent DRM of Apple Products??!
to bypass the 30-day-limit is simply illegal. whatever 'the web' says ....

Can't play Final Cut Pro Quicktime exports

I have version 10.0.09 and Ive tried every setting in the export settings to try and save the video as something other than Quicktime. This is because when I go to play my exported quicktime video, it comes up with "QuickTime Player can't open "*******" because the movie's file format isn't recognized." I need to send the video to a client but I myself can't view it and fear they won't be able to open it either..
What export settings can guarantee me to view the video?
I also need the video under 2GB and it tells me at the bottom it is at 3.18GB est. When I save it as AppleProRes 442 it comes up as 103MB in the info on my documents so I assume that's not a problem. But I still cannot open the file to view once exported.
Help please!

Choose your project (or a compound clip in the Timeline - in either case while in the timeline, put the playhead at the start and hit "I" then move to end and hit the "O" key. Now select the corresponding Project in the browser:
choose share/e-mail/settings/ Small. This will give you the smallest QT file that you MAY be able to put into an e-mail. If you want a larger file:
share/export file/settings/Format:Audio & Video/CODEC:H.264/open with QT Player/Roles as a QT File.
You can adjust as needed - in export file if you choose settings/format:Apple Devices/Codec: H.264 Better Quality/Open WITH/ QT PLAYER, click on the tiny TV icon with a check in it next to the file size & will always show you which devices it is optimized for. EVEN IF IT IS A MPEG_4 FILE... Quick Time will play it as will a PC.
Experiment with the settings of each setting in Export File. Stay away from MASTER and do not send Apple Pro Res it will be too big and they may not be able to play it.
Choose Codec h.264.
This is very basic stuff, I hope this helps, tho.

What format are your sources and what are your sequence settings? I'd guess that you're working with h.264 material which is not fcp friendly. If so, use compressor to conver to prores422
