Final Cut Pro update for

I have final cut pro on my mac 10.7 needs to update with the serial number. Where do i do that? The final cut pro I have is old and says it cannot work on this computer. 

The serial number for FCS came affixed to the booklet titled "Installing Your Software" that came bundled with the install discs.
FWIW, upgrades for FCP are no longer available form Apple as they have discontinued the product.  You can purchase FCP-X (version 10), which is actually version 1 of completely different software.  FCP-X is available for download from the App Store for $299.00 (USD).

    10.0.8 is no longer available, except in the trial version. The current sale version is 10.0.9. Apple has never sold older versions of their software, only the current version. That's not going to change in the near future.

  • Is there a Final Cut Pro update price? I have FCP 6

    Is there a Final Cut Pro update price? I have FCP 6

    No, FCP X is a completely different app and everyone has to pay the full price.
    No educational discounts etc.

  • HT1531 does final cut pro works for my mac book pro 4 gb ram i5 processors

    why am not able to support power pc applications in mac     

    Babowa: Here is a recent post I made on this subject (responding to the oft mentioned claim on this forum that "installing Rosetta into Lion" would allow FCPS to be installed). 
    I would love it, if the OP (or you, perhaps, if you do not mind goting through the process again) could confirm the "Terminal Instruction"installation method:
    It never made sense to me that (a) one could install Rosetta into Lion and get any results at all, let alone get an installer written in PPC code to run; or (b) if installing Rosetta into Lion worked for an installer written in PPC code, then why wouldn't an application written in PPC code work also?
    And the answer is...
    Anytime an operating system is updated, there is a chance that some of your software will no longer function 100% correctly, until the publisher releases an update of that software for the newly updated operating system.  And that is what is going on here...
    The Final Cut Pro installer is NOT written in PowerPC code!  There is some minor instruction in the installer that makes a call to the operating system in Lion, that Lion is incorrectly interpreting as being PPC code and hence giving the Dialog Box that says that it cannot run a PowerPC program.
    This minor instruction is attempting to execute the following instruction in Terminal:
    $ sudo installer -package /Volumes/Final\ Cut\ Studio/Installer/FinalCutStudio.mpkg -target /
    If you execute this instruction in Terminal sans Rosetta, the program will install perfectly!
    Somehow, the "installation of Rosetta" into Lion, and perhaps Mountain Lion interferes just enough between the program and the operating system, to allow the program to make this call to Terminal and install the program.  Since this instruction will work in Terminal without Rosetta installed, it obviously has nothing to do with PowerPC code or Rosetta.
    So the best advice would appear to be to use this instruction in Terminal and wait while the installation program completes all of its tasks with the concluding statement:
    installer: The install was successful.
    This method avoids any pitfalls that may occur by installing Rosetta, which has no place in Lion or Mountain Lion and may be the cause of future problems!
    Since I do not have Final Cut Pro, I cannot confirm this, but maybe I can borrow a copy somewhere soon...

  • Final Cut Pro Settings For AVCHD Canon HFS100

    Hi friends,
    I am new to Final cut pro and digital video. I just purchased a Canon HFS 100 and am shooting in 30p and am going to be editing on FCP 6.0.1. From Easy Setup on FCP I have changed the FORMAT to HD, RATE to 29.97 and USE to DVCPRO HD -1080p30. Will this be the most favorable settings if I want to make high quality HD videos for the web. Or should I leave it on FCP Easy Setup default which is FORMAT: all formats, RATE: all rates and USE: Custom Setup.
    Thanks.

    Hi Khorsani,
    welcome to the arena.
    Your version of FCP was the [first one|http://www.apple.com/support/releasenotes/en/FinalCut_Pro_6.0_rn/index.html#appleref%3Adoc%3Auid%3ATempBookID-ReplacedWhenAssociatingWithMessierRevision-CH1-SW59 ] to offer some support for AVCHD.
    You want to use Log&Transfer (FCP main menu>File or ShiftCommand8)to convert your footage to ProRes or AIC, which are editable formats that FCP likes.
    http://www.apple.com/support/releasenotes/en/FinalCut_Pro_6.0rn/
    Also [Read this|http://documentation.apple.com/en/finalcutpro/professionalformatsandworkfl ows/index.html#chapter=6%26section=2%26tasks=true] for more general info.
    Connect your camera to your machine, then try to Log&Transfer.
    Please note that AVCHD support was improved with following FCP 6.0.x versions so you may want to update your current version if something does not work.
    To update just click on the Blue Apple of the OS top menu and look for software updates.

  • Final Cut Pro Updates on 2nd Computer

    I purchased Final Cut Pro from the App store on 21 June 2011. I have a receipt with date and order #.
    I understood I could install this software on 2 computers. It is installed on a laptop (computer to which it was originally downloaded) and I copied it to a flash drive to add it to my desktop applications folder. It is used occasionally on both computers.
    My problem is getting updates. When 10.0.8 was announced a few days ago I realized I had not been getting the automatic updates (for a long time) I thought were part of the deal when I purchased FCP from the App store.
    Secondly, I CANNOT get updates to the desktop. When I try to update I am told "you have FCP but you did not purchase it from the App store and am asked to pay the $299 price again."
    Is there a way to verify that the copy of FCP on the desktop was legitimately purchased from the App store so that I can get current updates?
    Any suggestions?

    Yes. I have only one Apple ID. It was registered in the late 90's or very early 2000's.
    Do you see the application on the purchased applications page of the App Store?
    Until this morning I did not!
    However, the purchase WAS listed in the app store in iTunes.
    I dug into the purchases area of the App Store page a bit more this morning and found that FCP was there but was HIDDEN. Hidden for what reason I do not know. I marked it as UNHIDDEN and it showed up on the App Store purchases page on both computers.
    I guess now I will have to wait until there is some activity for FCP to see it things work properly in the future.
    More later... depending!

  • New Soundtrack Pro and Final Cut Pro Updates...

    There's new updates for Soundtrack Pro and Final Cut Pro on Software Update.
    They seem to have fixed the problem I was having with one of my giant old projects. I used to have to open one of the audio projects before my multitrack project would open, but now it opens just fine. So far so good!

    Hi Collings,
    Looks like there are two threads about the recent FCP & STP updates, so I'm posting my findings here, too.
    I just found another thing that appears to be fixed in STP 1.0.2:
    Batch normalize is working:
    I have a bunch of aif files that I want to normalize. I opened one in the waveform editor, applied process->normalize (level=0dB), then selected File->Save as Applescript--this creates an Applescript droplet. Then I can then grab a whole bunch of audio files and drop them all onto this droplet and they all get normalized correctly. This is a huge timesaver for me. Before this update, using this approach to batch-normalize a set of files seemed to deliver unpredictable results, but I just ran a whole set of files through, and they all played back with a peak level of 0dB (and no clipping).
    Here are the other things that I've noticed so far with STP 1.0.2:
    Automation:
    -In STP 1.0.1, Automation was not applied correctly on project sample rates that were not supported by the hardware (e.g. play a 96K project on a laptop built-in 48K audio interface and the automation was late by 2X) -- this is fixed!!! YAY!
    -STP 1.0.1 did not handle long automation ramps across long periods of silence (it would sometimes cause a glitch at the start of the clip right after the automation ramp--there is even a support article about this)--it seems like they fixed this one, too.
    Sample rate switching:
    -I see an option in general preferences to allow me to disable the "Switch hardware sample rate to match document", and with this disabled, I no longer get audible clicks from my audio interface when I switch tabs. Plus, switching tabs seems faster to me.
    Realtime effects and automation in audio file projects:
    -They've added a warning to inform folks about the need to bounce realtime effects and automation to an action--if you are in an audio file project with realtime effects that have not been bounced to an action and you try to save, you get a warning message.
    Has anyone else noticed any other fixes or changes in this update?

  • Final Cut Pro X for amateurs?

    I am an amateur. I have done some basic editing with windows movie maker and similar but recently became a mac owner. I don't want to waste 300 plus dollars on something that I will find frustrating and unusable. So I guess my question is this; How easy is it for an amateur to use? I have just purchased a "GoPro HD Hero 2" and I don't want what I can do to be limited by my editing software but, I also don't want to be pulling my hair out because I wasted $300 plus dollars on something to complex for me to work out. Please help. Do I buy it or not?

    Well, you might like and try iMovie first, (should already be installed on your Mac)...
    By far not as complex as FCP X, but it has certain similarities...
    (some people even call FCP X iMovie on steroids... :-)
    I changed over from iMovie to Final Cut Express a few years ago, highly enjoyed
    the learning curve and the possibilities it provided...
    Recently I changed to Final Cut Pro X, highly enjoyed the challenge to learn something new, after a few days everything was familiar again, and I never looked back...
    This software is just absolutely amazing...
    In combination with Motion 5, this package is nearly unbelievable...
    Even FCP X is fairly sophisticated, and Motion 5 one can call indeed very complex.
    I can only highly recommend both of them...
    Watch a few of the introduction movies and in no time you’re ready to go...

  • Title Font Size in Final Cut Pro 6 for exhibition on movie theater sized screen

    When editing a documentary and creating title cards (that play as part of the movie - text center of screen on black b.g.), lower thirds identifying speakers, and end credits (both single card and scrolling) are there some standard fonts and font sizes people use so the end result will not look too large when projected on a movie screen?
    The titles are all from Final Cut Pro (a few from the Boris plug-in for FCP6) and there are no titles that move or that are created in Motion.
    I will be able to make additional edits with the fonts sized for tv, streaming, DVD distribution etc. if I'm lucky enough to end up needing those as well.
    Thanks!

    If the titling is properly composed for the frame size, it will look correct when projected. That is, if it looks font is legible and in decent proportion in your 1080 timeline, it's not important whether the display is 30 inches or 45 feet; the proportion will not change.
    In terms of font selection, medium or bold sans-serif fonts work well on all screens.  "Plain" fonts like Helvetica, Ariel, or Lucinda tend to work better than the more stylized fonts, but if style is part oif your message, be my guest...
    hope this helps

  • Exporting Final Cut Pro audio for importing into Avid via OMF

  • Final Cut Pro 4 for Intel Mac

    I have FCP 4.0 on an older Mac. I recently purchased a new intel Mac Pro. I'm trying to install FCP 4.0 on my new intel Mac Pro but it will not install. I get an error message about not being compatible with intel. Does anyone know if there is an upload to correct this problem? I don't have the extra money to buy the software again.
    Thanks for your help,

    According to the Apple website: [http://store.apple.com/AppleStore/WebObjects/BizCustom?qprm=78313&productLearn More=MA886Z/A]
    Upgrade Eligibility
    The upgrade version requires a valid serial number from a commercial version of
    Final Cut Studio, Production Suite, or Final Cut Pro 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. Academic
    and not-for-resale versions are not eligible for this upgrade.
    Elsewhere on the page:
    Buy New $1,299.00
    Upgrade from Final Cut Studio* $499.00
    Upgrade from Final Cut Pro or Production Suite* $699.00
    Not bad, considering what you get in FCS: DVD studio Pro, Motion, Soundtrack Pro, Color etc...
    If money is really tight, and all you want to do is edit, look into Final Cut Express HD @ $199 - includes Livetype and supports FXPlug 3rd party plugins, but that's about all (unless AVCHD means anything to you).
    You can always use iDVD for your DVDs.

  • Is it usefull to buy Final Cut Pro X for making music video's or not?

    Right now I'm using iMovie 11. I can put the audio an the video togheter and stuff but thats kinda it... So if I wan't to use more effects and stuff should I buy this?

    I think FCPX is very good for short-form work like music videos, and definitely a big upgrade to iMovie. Additionally, the interface is similar so you'd have less of a learning curve.
    There's a ton of hidden power though, and you probably would need to follow some tutorials and/or read instructional material in order to really be able to use the software efficiently, and understand what it has to offer. Many people have given high praise to Ripple Training; there's also some free training available at: http://www.izzyvideo.com/final-cut-pro-x-tutorial/ that can get your feet wet, so to speak. And I know Mr. Wolsky is working on a book that would be great to have, once it comes out.
    At the moment, there are still a bunch of bugs that need to be ironed out, which you can read about on this forum. If you are willing to deal with a beta-quality product that has lots of potential, I'd say go for it. The most important thing to remember is to have a way of backing up your projects so that in the event you are hit with the worst of the bugs, you can still recover work.

  • Getting error message in Final Cut Pro X for frame 13142 when sharing

    I am sharing a project to Master File and I get an error message: error occured when creating frame 13142.  How can I find that frame?

    I had frame generation error last nigtht trying to make master file  on a short 5 mintue simple video I built. 
    It said error was on frame 6797.
    I seach for soluitons and nothing seem to help.
    I tried copying project contents to new project and that still failed with frame error 6797.
    I then reviewed that frame and it was the one time in project I used any special affects for movement of image, Ken Burns and  Key frame transform affects on a freeze frame image.
    I createa new third project copied contents in and remove the freeze frame image.  added freeze frame image back into project and only did Ken Burnes affect without key frame movement.
    i was then able to complete geneeation and share project.
    So if you get a frame generation error check that frame and see what special affects your using.  There maybe a bug in FInal Cut Pro X when you mix and match affects on one object in a project.
    hope this helps someone... I was stuck for several hours on this last night.
