Final Cut Pro Studio 2 Install
Hello I purchased my G4 Dual 1.25 Ghz with 1GB of memory about a year ago. It had installed Final Cut Pro Studio 1 (FCP 5) at the time with all the other programs. Recently after I upgraded my Quicktime to 7.6 My DVD Studio Pro stopped working. After much trying and advice I re-installed my OS Leopard that I purchased about 6 months ago and lost all my serial numbers for all the programs, (FCP, DVD Studio, Soundtrack etc.) So now I would like to purchase Final Cut Pro Studio 2 (educational version) and I am told I will have to have serial numbers for Final Cut Pro Studio 1 because this is an upgrade. How can I install FCP Studio 2 with out any previous serial numbers? Please any help would be greatly appreciated, I work with the elderly and we have several projects we are working on together and I really need to get back up and running. Thank you for any help anyone can give me.
Final Cut Pro Studio 2 (educational version)
EDU versions are full versions (but they can't be upgraded to the next full version)
if you go this route you should be fine

Final Cut Pro Studio 5 Install issues....
Hey Fellow iPeps., My name is Jonathan and I have a rathe complex issue infront of me. First, let me state that I am by no means a Mac sorta guy. I am in the transition stage where some things in that mac world just make no sense to me. Okay, I am trying to install Final Cut Pro 5 onto my new iMac 27inch unit and keep getting an error msg that reads, Your computer does not have the right hardware.... you know, I have tried installing it on my macbook pro as well... It should be noted that at some point it was installed on my G5. I did not install it so I dont actually know what the difference was. Someone help! Pretty Please
Final Cut Pro 5 is NOT compatible with Intel processor Macs. You need version 5.1 or higher. The current version is FCP 7, which is only available as part of Final Cut Studio 2009 (aka FCS 3).
If you own a legitimate retail version of FCP 5, you can upgrade to FCS 2009 for $299.00 (USD). http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB643Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA&mco=MTA4MjgwODU

New MacBook Pro 7.1 doesn't install final cut pro studio
I bought a new macbook pro 13' last week. When I tried to install the final cut pro studio, an alert window popped up saying that my mackbook doesn't have the required hardware to support the final cut pro. Can any one please help me on that?
FCP 5.0.4 is not compatible with Intel Macs.
If you have that version, then you need to upgrade to FC Studio 3, which is compatible with Intel Macs.
FCP 5.1.4 is compatible, but you'll need at least FCP 6.0.x to run with Snow Leopard.
Expect to pay about $250.00 for the upgrade if you shop. -
Hi friends! which version of Final Cut Pro/Studio i can install for Mac OS X 10.4.11?
FCP 5.1, which is part of the first Final Cut Studio package and FCP 6 (part of FCS 2) are both compatible with that OS (IIRC).

Specifications for Final Cut Pro Studio (FCP 7) ?
I have a G5 running OSX 10.4. I'm pretty sure I have to install OSX 10.5 to run the studio. But what about my other computer specs? Will my GeForce FX 5200 Graphics Chipset be enough? Will Quicktime 7.0 be enough? Here are my G5 specs. Following are the Apple FCP Studio specs. What do I need to do to get this G% up to speed to run the full, latest FCP Studio? Any help would be appreciated greatly.

Final Cut Express HD 3.5 and Final Cut Pro Studio 5.1.1
Hi,
I have a client with both of these installed on the same machine (running 10.4.6).
When they try and launch either application, the splash screen comes up, loading various filters, etc. then they get an error message:
"File Error: A file of this name already exists" "OK"
Clicking "OK" closes the app.
Any idea:
1. What the file in question is?
2. Can it be deleted to let the app run?
3. Can Final Cut Express HD 3.5 and Final Cut Pro Studio 5.1.1 be used on the same machine?
I'll post this on the Final Cut Pro thread too (but with the order reversed).1. No idea.
2. Depends what the file is.
3. Yes. Though I've never tried to run them at the same time. -
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?
thanksIf 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. -

This article tells you how. It is for FCE2 but works the same for FCE3 so I assume it is also OK for FCE 3.5:-

It's simple to do so try it before reinstalling etc. - You should completely uninstall before reinstalling:-

HT5127 do I need to remove final cut pro 7 before installing final cut pro x
do I need to remove final cut pro 7 before installing final cut pro x
No. When you install FCP, it will move the FCS applications into a folder called Final Cut Studio.

Final Cut Pro Studio and ProKit 7 conflict
Hi,
I've been trying to find a solution to a problem I've had with FCP Studio but can't seem to find one. Since running a software upgrade on my Mac Pro 2008 running 10.6.8, I can't seem to get DVD Studio Pro 4, Motion 4 and a few other parts of FCP Studio 7 to open. They crash instantly on opening and the only solution I have found is replacing ProKit 7, in the system, with an older ProKit 5.1. This works but then knocks out the ability to run some newer Apple apps. I'm running an identical system on a MacBook Pro 2011 and everything seems to run perfectly fine on ProKit 7 so wonder why the Mac Pro can't do the same. I've tried installing ProKit 5 and updating up to version 7, and also tried copying a copy of ProKit 7 from the working MacBook Pro system both without success. Does anyone know of any solution to get all my older FCP Studio apps and new Apple apps to run on the latest ProKit 7 on the Mac Pro? Is there perhaps something else in conflict with the apps?
Any help gratefully received.
AlecHi everyone,
Just an update on this problem. I've now resolved it, by luck more then anything!
I was rebuilding another Mac and noticed the exact point the same issue occurred so now know what the cause is, and it's such a simple but strange solution!
During the process of decluttering my system of none essential file (well I thought they were non essential!) I removed a particular file which seems to be needed by the Final Cut Pro Studio apps. This file is in the root System folder (System/Library/Colorsync/Profiles). Make sure you have "Generic Gray Gamma 2.2 Profile.icc"
in the folder or this will cause DVD Studio Pro, Motion4, CinemaTools and a few other Pro apps to unexpectedly quit at launch.
It was that simple! As soon as it was back in place everything was working with the latest ProKit 7 framework (so know need to downgrade Prokit to version 5 anymore!)
Hope this helps anyone in the same situation!

Does Final Cut Pro Studio work on old powerbook?
I'm planning to buy the Final Cut Pro Studio package, but before I want to be sure that it will work fine on my PowerBook.
I have enough Processor (G4 1Ghz) and RAM (1Gb) as apple suggest, but I'm worried about the supported graphics cards listed on the recommendation. My GeForce4 MX graphics cards is not mentioned. and of course I have to upgrade to OS 10.4.x... this is not a problem.
In this moment, from the Final Cut Pro Studio package, I only need to use FCP, DVDSP and Compressor. I have to import about 1 hour SD movie, other short clip, convert to AC3 and Mpeg2 and use DVD Pro to authoring a DVD. I don't need to use a lot of graphic fx with motion or capture in HD format.
Thank you for your suggestion and recommendation!
I hope to be more active in this forum soon!
Beppe
PowerBook G4 1Ghz, 1G ram Mac OS X (10.3.9) Video Card GeForce4 MXIt worked well enough (but slowly) on mine. But you probably won't be able to install Motion because of your graphics card.

Downgrading from Final Cut Pro Studio to Final Cut Express
Will Final Cut Express let me use the Boris Title 3D Video Generator effect that I now use in Final Cut Pro Studio?
Does it have an outline text video generator effect?
Since I have DVDSP 4.1.2, will I be able to drag my exported non self-contained quicktime movie into DVDSP? I have read I can use iDVD.
I see from the tutorial (http://www.apple.com/finalcutexpress/tutorials/) it does not have the ability to log clips for batch capture later but it does have a project button. Does anyone use that and can share what it does?
I have a Canon DV20 HD camera which I use for DV also. Since I have read that FCE will not read HDV from this camera, has anyone brought DV in using this camera?
Does anyone see any other negatives to downgrading?
I have been using Final Cut Pro from version 1.5 since it did what I needed it to do. Over the years they have added a plethora of packages to it, none of which I use. So why spend 700.00 to upgrade when I can spend 200 to get what I will use?
Thanks for your input.Lots of questions:
"Will Final Cut Express let me use the Boris Title 3D Video Generator effect that I now use in Final Cut Pro Studio?"
Yes.
"Does it have an outline text video generator effect?"
Yes, but don't use. Use Title 3D.
"Since I have DVDSP 4.1.2, will I be able to drag my exported non self-contained quicktime movie into DVDSP?"
Yes. Or you can use Compressor, which you should have, to encode your video.
"I see from the tutorial (http://www.apple.com/finalcutexpress/tutorials/) it does not have the ability to log clips for batch capture later but it does have a project button. Does anyone use that and can share what it does?"
It allows you to log your material first, selecting the pieces on the tape you want to capture and then going back and letting the machine capture the selected pieces.
"I have a Canon DV20 HD camera which I use for DV also. Since I have read that FCE will not read HDV from this camera, has anyone brought DV in using this camera?"
Never heard of camera.
"Does anyone see any other negatives to downgrading?"
What version are you using? -
How do you Chapter Video Podcasts in Final Cut Pro Studio 2
I am in final cut pro studio 2. I have my video setup like I want. I placed Markers and labeled them as chapters. But when I try to export i just get a chapterless video. How on earth do i get this to work. I tried exporting with Compressor and exporting with Quicktime pro. I just want to make a chaptered video podcast why is it so darn hard to do so? I went hunting everywhere on the net and nothing explains just how to do it in Final Cut Pro. Everything is iMovie this iMovie that .... well sorry, but I don't want to use stinking iMovie.
Sorry for venting I'm just really aggravated because I have tried four different things hoping it would work but each export which is two hours of wasted time that I fall more behind.Hi Patrick,
My FCP experience is limited - I write software add-ons for it, but I don't edit. I remember this issue coming up before though. QuickTime has the ability to create chapter tracks, but you can't do this from markers in FCP. (I used to do it with the great QuickTime editor in Adobe GoLive.)
The chapter tracks in .mp4 video are similar but different to the QuickTime chapter tracks, so I assume that the FCP markers won't work. Frustrating!
Why don't you try out PodcastMaker free for 30 days: http://www.lemonzdream.com/podcastmaker/ This software is very easy to use and (outside of Garageband) is the easiest way to add chapter tracks to a podcast, and even though it's an extra step, it will help you with the podcasting side of the workflow you'll eventually be faced with. -
