Final Cut Pro X : how to install on 2nd mac?

Hi,
Apple states that FCPX can be installed on as many macs I own personnally. But how do I proceed without ''re-buying'' it again on the App Store ? Do I simply copy the App in the application folder ? (Isn't that the ''installed application'' and not a .dmg or something alike ?)
Thanks,
Rob

The simplest way is just to copy the application.
You can also download it from the App Store. If you're on another computer without FCP. Go to the App Store, log in with the Apple ID that purchased the software, and go to Purchases page. You should see it there and be able to download it.

  • Does CC 2014 eliminate the need to have Final Cut Pro and/or Compressor installed to access Apple ProRes 422?

    Hello:
    Just today, I was working on a Mac system that does not have any of the applications that I would have expected to need to have installed in order to do more than just decompress movie files compressed with Apple ProRes 422.
    I was expecting to have to install Final Cut Studio 3, Final Cut Pro X, Compressor 4, and/or QuickTime 7 with the QuickTime Pro key; however, none of those applications are installed and I am able to create custom QuickTime Apple Pro Res422 Sequences in Premiere Pro as well as export using Apple ProRes 422.  After Effects and Adobe Media Encoder also show all the Apple ProRes variations.
    Does CC 2014 eliminate the need to have Final Cut Pro and/or Compressor installed to access Apple ProRes 422?  Is it something happening on the OS or QuickTime level that would affect CC or CS6 in the same way?
    I've done a web search, but haven't really come up with anything other than older articles about needing to have FCP installed (and I typically work on systems with Final Cut Studio 3 installed as well as CS6, CC, or CC 2014).  If more detailed information is available, it would be great to be able to read up on it.
    The system is a 21.5-inch iMac running Mac OS X 10.8.5, QuickTime Player 10.2, and Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 (8.0.0 - I know an update is available for PrPro, but it's not my system to make that change).
    Thanks in advance,
    Warren Heaton

    Hi Emil:
    I use ProRes all the time as well, but I have Final Cut Studio on my workstations.
    I had not come across MindPower009's YouTube video.  That explains how ProRes could be showing up without FCP or Compressor.
    So, the answer to my question would be, "No, CC 2014 does not eliminate the need to have Final Cut Pro and/or Compressor installed to access Apple ProRes 422; however, if you are willing to be in violation Apple's terms of use, you can install the ProRes codecs anyway."
    Even though MindPower009's YouTube video comments claim "FREE and LEGAL", it's clear from both the Apple download page and the ProRes codecs installer that Apple expects you to own at least one of their applications.
    Thanks again for the link!

    Look at this technical specs document, your system should be fine with the possible exception of Color.
    As for managing your preference files, use Digital Rebellion's tool.
    Good luck.

  • Using final cut pro x how to fade to black

    with final cut pro x, how do you fade to black?

    So, at this point I feel compelled to throw out a few 'pearls of wisdom' for the self-taught beginners who use this forum;
    It IS a place to come for expert advice from a mix of enthusiasts and professionals, and yes, you can get problems solved here that you won't find answers to anywhere else (with the possible exception of Creative Cow). Some problems get answered better here than from Apple Support.
    This does not mean that you (the beginner) are absolved from a little study on your own. BROWSE the forum a little before you ask a question - you may even discover something that you didn't even know that you didn't know.
    Speaking of youtube; take a look at the Izzyvideo tutorial or some of the others posted there. Learn the basics, and then ask a question. If we are willing to take the time to answer questions, then you should (at least!) be willing to take the time to do a little research.
    If you don't have the time to learn the software, HIRE an editor.
    Don't PAY MORE than $15 for a bottle of wine.

  • Final Cut Pro x how to export OMF?

    Final Cut Pro x how to export OMF?

    As far as I understand, FCPX doesn't support OMF exports, unless something has changed recently. There are some workarounds that you can do, see this post. It looks a little cumbersome though. Hope that helps you further.

  • I have final cut pro x, how can i copy my project to dvd

    i have final cut pro x on my i mac, i creat a video project and would like to copy to dvd. how can i do that. thanks haidar

    DVD should show as an option (destination) in the menu associated with Share.  To actually go to a DVD, there has to be a DVD burner connected to the Mac.

  • I downloaded Final cut pro x, how do i get hard copy disks?

    I recently downloaded Final Cut Pro X from the App store to my MacBook Pro (OS X-10.9.5). I need to move it and the projects to a different MBP in the office. Do I need the hardcopy disks in order to move the application? If so, how do I get them?

    you can redownload the application from the app store using the same ID you used to purchase it originally at no charge.

  • Is the final cut pro application too large for my 13" mac pro or should I install it on an external drive?

    Is the final cut pro application too large for my mac book pro laptop? Should I install it on a hard drive?

    4 GB hard drive!?!  It's a memory size not hard drive size   Your hard drive is much bigger than 4 GB . If you have 2011 model then hard drive size is 500GB or 750 GB HDD. You can install final cut pro and many other programs .

  • Final Cut Pro X: How to not get it to crash.

    Most times when I use Final Cut Pro X, sometimes it crashes and I have no idea how it is doing that. Can you please do something that can help me stop Final Cut Pro X from crashing?

    I found out that, according to digibudII, the maximum amount of RAM could be 6GB on my iMac. Even though the 8GB RAM was recommended to help Final Cut Pro X from not crashing, it would not work in my model.
    I did, however, find some Memory upgrades for the model:

  • Final cut pro x trial not installing

    Ok so when i first got my laptop i tried downloading final cut pro trial but it would always say  "invalid checksum" when verifying. it happened multiple times everytime i always tried to install it, until one day I'm not sure what i did that it finally downloaded. i used it until my trial was over so i bought the full version the begininng gf this month. i tried installing it and it would download all the way until it changes to installing and then it says "download failed try downloading again in the purchases page" this has been happening the day since i bought final cut pro. now its been 3 weeks and still nothing works, i have chatted with technicians online and have taken it to the apple store and they keep saying they don't know why final cut pro isn't installing because the laptop is working fine. so anyway i got my refund on it, but now I'm trying to install the trial but it keeps showing up invalid checksum when it verifies it,so i click skip and it will start writing the files but then in the middle it will stop and say " failed to download....contact the developer". honestly i don't know what to do anymore i need this app to do school work and I'm really frustrated that nothing seems to be working. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! thanks.

    Well when i took it to the apple store they ended up restoring the whole computer because it wouldn't update so they ended updating it and they said that final cut pro should download fine now since it was updated. i took it home and tried it but nothing happened. i live quite a while away from the store so i called a technician and they told me to wait a week to see if it would download, i waited a week and still nothing happened. and for the parental controls it says there are no user accounts to be managed so i don't think there is any parental controls. So the technicians at the apple store would be able to install it from the system drives?

  • My files from final cut pro trial aren't transferring to final cut pro x - how do I fix this?

    I had been making a video in the final cut pro trial and didn't realize my trial was going to run out as soon as it did that day. I downloaded final cut pro x and was planning on finishing up editing tonight, but none of my files from final cut pro trial transferred over to final cut pro x. Everywhere I have read online said they should transfer automatically, but that's not happening. Is there a fix?

    you're tried using the 'Open Library' command?

  • If i edit in final cut pro x, how can i create a dvd

    What is the best DVD creator to download to create DVDs  from movies edited in Final Cut Pro X?

    iDVD gets my top vote - it is no longer available from Apple, but still part of the retail iLife 09 or 11 versions available from online resellers. It offers customizable menus/themes which will give your creation a professional look. It encodes/authors and you can burn directly from it.
    Second is Roxio Toast (no customizable menus, but many other features and an excellent burn software).
    I've tried DVD creator and found it to be too simplistic. Then there is Burn (free) - it burns.
    I use iDVD to "create" and Toast to burn.
