Final Cut Server and Compressor / Qmaster serial conflict

On my Final Cut Server machine, i have Final Cut Server version 1.1.1. On my Mac Pro i have Final Cut Studio 7. I have installed Compressor and Qmaster on my Final Cut Server from the Final Cut Pro DVD, so i can use Qmaster (the version of Qmaster must match exactly on all machines). But the two serials conflict, Final Cut Server will not start due to the following problem:
"Either the current serial number is not valid or there is another server using the same serial number.
Check the serial number and then stop and start the server using the Final Cut Server Preferences panel."
Of course both serials is completely legit. Is it really true that i either need to downgrade Compressor and Qmaster (FCS will work, but Qmaster will not) or buy FCS 1.5? I have paid lots of money for this setup already, it can't be true that i am forced to update to 1.5.
Please Apple, a solution?

I have a similar case. Maybe someone knows how to solve it:
We installed Final Cut Server and on the same MacPro we installed Final Cut Studio.
After a while we dedicated this machine to Final Cut server and used the Final Cut Studio license on another nachine.
Now, if I want to change or add a transcode setting in the compressor, I'm getting the error message: 'conflicting serialnumber' or something like it.
So compressor thinks it's still part of th FinalCutStudio installation. But I don't quite understand, because Final Cut Server has its own compressor, isn't it?
How can I solve this without loosing the custom transcode settings I've made in compressor.

  • Are there any good DVD authoring programs for Mac now that Apple has discontinued DVD Studio and iDVD? I need to make DVDs that have interactive menus and such (Final Cut X and Compressor 4's DVD option is a little cheap). Any ideas?

    Are there any good DVD authoring programs for Mac now that Apple has discontinued DVD Studio and iDVD? I need to make DVDs that have interactive menus and such (Final Cut X and Compressor 4's DVD option is a little cheap and doesn't provide any kind of professional DVD authoring). Any ideas?

    This comes up a lot these days.
    Practically speaking, there are really four options for the Mac platform: Toast (<$100),  Adobe Premier Productiom ($1,600 to buy or $50/month to rent),  find a copy of Final Cut Studio from 3rd  party (+/- $1,000 new) or a boxed edition of iLife to get iDVD ($50 - $90 on Amazon new).
    The other question everyone has is how many OS versions before iDVD or FCS breaks? No one knows, but Apple has said they're no longer supporting these legacy apps. Of course, no one is mandated to upgrade to a new OS unless they buy a new computer. So if it works on a system, stay with it as long as it makes sense.
    Good luck.

  • Final cut pro and compressor

    I have a FCP project that I have been working on for a year and have made DVD's from through compressor. Suddenly when I open compressor it states that there are no files associated with this project.
    Another user suggested I trash the preferences, but am loath to do this incase it makes things worse as I'm not very clued up on some of the systems functions.
    Please help
    CB

    If you've been on the project for more than a year, it must be legacy Final Cut Pro and not FCP X.
    This is the FCP X forum - you should ask this question in the Final Cut Studio forum:

  • Final Cut Server and FileMaker Pro

    Has anyone tried to import FileMaker Pro data into Final Cut Server? I have an FMP database with photos, video and audio files that I'd like to export to Final Cut Server along with the meta data and I'd be interested to hear if anyone has any experience with this.

    It needs to be filled with RAM, and when running Pro Apps, in the faster graphics processor mode. Mail, etc. will likely run fine along side them. I'd not play games when rendering though.
    When they don't run, they don't affect anything but disk space 60 gigs for it all including Templates... RAM is the key to running multiple apps on any given Mac.
    Nice Mac too. I just saw one the other day for the first time. I love that new trackpad the most. It's likely a lot faster than my 2.3 laptop, and I can run all the apps at the same time no problem with it. But ya need to fill up the RAM. I like that it's so green.

  • Final Cut Server and Mountain Lion

    Ok, so I have been trying to get Final Cut Server to work on Mountain Lion Server, and I have been so far following the path that has been set forth here...
    http://krypted.com/mac-os-x/installing-final-cut-server-on-lion-mountain-lion-se rver/
    I have gotten through all of the steps except for the last one, which is concerning the "0000_any_80_.conf" file. My problem is, that this file doesn't exist at all on my system. In my /etc/apache2 folder there is no /etc/apache2/sites folder. I don't know what the junk is up with that. Neither the folder or the .conf file exist. I don't know if I'm just stupid or what. Don't know much about setting up apache. But in my Server app, "Websites" is up and running. Final Cut Server is even up and running in the System Preferences. I just have no way to download the client app. Has anyone else had this problem?

    And the file
    /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
    In mountain Lion is
    /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/httpd_server_app.conf

  • Final Cut Server and Laptops

    We are about to deploy FCS but have a number of editors that work off of their laptops.
    I know my editors can look at FCS, but how do they retrieve the information that is stored on the SAN? Are they connected into the SAN through some sort of afp or something?

    The clients are connected with the Final Cut Server service, running on a machine which can look at both local/network storages and the SAN. That means, by checking out/caching files, the server application (the user interface you can see) provides you with the files - transfered via the connection you have choosen for your laptop (LAN, WLAN etc.)
    To sum it up, it's like that.
    SAN Storage -> Mac with Final Cut Server service running <- Client, connected via LAN/WLAN (AFP, SMB whatever...)

  • Final Cut Server and iPad !!!???

    Is there a new to use FCS Client on an iPad !???

    Actually - there is. We here at factorial are just finishing developing one.
    It is called ClipTouch and it is a native iPad application that connects to an unmodified Final Cut Server (requires the latest version). It is designed as a review and approval tool for video clips. It allows searching of assets, viewing of proxies (supporting real timecode), changing of standard metadata (including status), browsing and adding timecode annotations, and archive and restore.
    We are currently in beta testing and are still looking for some testers.
    If you are interested, please get in touch with us via: [email protected]
    Please also include a brief description about where this application would be used/tested by you and what your interest in it is.
    Thanks!

  • I need a new license of final cut. Can I buy Final Cut X and use that serial on an older version of Final Cut?

    I work in a small studio and we hired a new editor. We are staying on an older version of Final Cut Studio and need a new license/serial so we can run it on the new machine without having the 'protection error' over the network.
    We CANNOT upgrade all of the machines at this time - we are in the middle of a few projects and need to keep the workflow going smoothly.
    If we purchase the newest version of Final Cut Studio can we use the license on our old product and wait to install the new one until we can upgrade all of the machines at the same time? we're still on studio 6.
    Thank you!

    >If we purchase the newest version of Final Cut Studio
    The newest version of Final Cut Studio was FCS 3 (aka FCS 2009) which contained FCP 7.  It has been discontinued by Apple and recalled from retailers.  If you can still find a legitimate copy to purchase, you can only use the serial number for that version.  Serial numbers from other versions will not work.

  • Trying to install final cut studio and not recognizing serial number

    I am upgrading from final cut pro 5.1.4 with final cut studio 2. When I enter the studio 2
    serial number it asks me for my original serial number from 5.1.4 and it tells me it's not
    a valid serial number. I have checked over and over with my manual and the serial number
    on the software in the computer and it still says the same thing.
    Please help me thank you.

    Well we are not together anymore but he was my boyfriend at that time. He was trying to do something really nice without realizing many things about purchasing something like this.
    Actually, I have 2 serial numbers one for DVD Studio Pro 3 academic and one for final cut pro HD Academic Su. Is that what I am looking for ?

  • Final Cut Server and Panasonic P2 MXF

    It is odd that in today's announcement, tech specs and PDF, there is no mention of MXF, P2 or Panasonic cameras. The specs do say it will read XML, but that doesn't mean it will read, display and play the P2 MXF files without import-and-conversion to QuickTime movies first. You would think the Final Cut team would be specific about this.

    As far as I know there is really no MXF integration right now. Should be working in some way with the really new MXF for QuickTime component (MXF4QT), but I have not yet tested it. Björn Adamski just wrote an article about the new plug in, you can find it in the FKT magazine (German, no online version available). It allows to open and play MXF files natively just like any other QuickTime clip. It works system wide, also in CoverFlow.
    Developers website: www.hamburgproaudio.de (right now no really infos, only for the windows tools.) or www.mxf4mac.com
    I am wondering how it works in real life with FCS.

  • Final Cut Server and Filters in the browser window

    Hi
    we have an issue with a client where they have put some filters in their browser and this is causing problems uploading them to FCSvr.
    This doesn't happen to every final cut pro project even though they all have filters in the browser
    Has anyone else had any issues with this and are there any ways to make sure all CP projects upload correctly?
    thank you

  • Final Cut Express and Compressor

    Does anyone know if Compressor comes with FCE. I have it in my Apps folder, but have no idea how it got there, and I can't find my FCE serials sheet to see if one was included for Compressor.
    Thanks in advance.

    What version is it? Is the program actually on your HD? It used to be sold separately so it is possible that someone installed it without your knowing it.

  • Final Cut Pro and Compressor not working

    I know this has been asked before, but I didn't find a solution to my problem yet.
    Ever since I upgraded to Mavericks, I can't export any movies.
    I get the following message: The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.Compressor.CompressorKit.ErrorDomain error -1.)
    And when I send the movie to compressor, I get the video rendering error: 60.
    I'm at a loss and would really apprecciate your help.
    Thanks

    It's probably the flux capacitor ... just give it a gentle but firm tap about 2 inches below the indent (just behid the mounting bracket) ... don't leave the tap on when you go out though or you will flood the bathroom.
    Hope it helps

  • FINAL CUT SERVER "UPDATE", YES, I said UPDATE!

    Everyone,
    I was just playing around on our Final Cut Server and ran a software update. I immediately saw that there were 2 updates: 1 for Final Cut Server and another which involved compressor!
    The Final Cut Server update said that it resolves the check-in/check-out issues with projects! Hopefully the compressor update fixes all the qmaster issues we've been having.
    - Ryan Salazar

    After doing the server update as well as update to FCP 6.0.4 on the client systems, I see that we can now check-in/check-out projects!!!
