I have an academic version of Final Cut Studio on my laptop and recently purchased the most recent Full version of Final Cut Studio. Do I need to uninstall the academic version before installing the new version?

I have an academic version of Final Cut Studio on my laptop and recently purchased the most recent Full version of Final Cut Studio. Do I need to uninstall the academic version before installing the new version? I ask because this is not an upgrade, but a completely new version.

I'm with Jim on this. It always seems to work out better if you do not install over another version. You can use this app (freeware - thanks to Jon Chappel) to completely remove ALL Final Cut Studio apps and components: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
Once that's done, install your newly purchased version.

I'm running OSX 10.6.8. I have final cut studio 6.0.6. The compressor aps won't load. I get a compressor not loaded properly pop-up. I have loaded twice and still no compressor.

I'm running OSX 10.6.8. I have final cut studio 6.0.6. The compressor aps won't load. I get a compressor not loaded properly pop-up. I have tried reloading but still no compressor.

Start by repairing permissions. Then remove Compressor using this utility:
FCS Remover - Uninstall Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Pro, Motion, Compressor, Soundtrack Pro, Color, DVD Studio Pro, LiveType, Cinema Tools
Then reinstall and try to load Compressor. If it fails, post the error statements here.
Good luck

Final cut Studio package is it worth the money ?

I have the most recent iLife package along with Toast, and Photo to Movie. My main goal is to make high quality photo slideshows to play on a TV. Will the Final Cut Studio Package really produce a better looking product, or does it just give me more control over what I can do with the images?

The Pro Apps allow for the use of conventional DVD-R media (like Verbatim DVD-R) as well as "Digital Linear Tape" or DLT which is what professionals prefer to write to rather than burning to standard DVD-R media.
Do a search on the DVDSP forum for DLT devices like the Quantum DLT4000 to learn more about this process.
Standard DVD-R media (for the most part) has significantly higher error rates as opposed to DLT which is extremely precise. From DLT an exact Glass Master can be produced which is like the "mold" for all future commercially pressed DVD copies which in turn also has far fewer error rates than conventional DVD-R media since it is pressed rather than burned to the surface of the media. Hope this makes sense.
This entire process is much more conducive for mass distribution of DVD's and can be very costly for small or what is called a "short run".
I can't give you an opinion on FotoMagico since I do not use it. Fred Shippey & others know much more about this app than I do. Anyway, I sure hope the above is semi helpful & good luck to you!

Final Cut Studio 3 upgrade version and Lion

I was all set to buy a new Macbook Pro, and I know Final Cut Studio 3 will run on Lion, but I've just realised that my version of Studio is an upgrade from 2. Since Studio 2 doesnt seem compatible with Lion am I at a dead end here in trying to get FCP 7 etc onto a new machine? Can I install it without installing Studio 2 first?
Thanks

You just do the install for studio 3. Or am I missing something? It will ask you for both the serial numbers of fcp studio 2 and 3. But you will have to install rosetta from a snowleopard install disk to run the installer.

Final Cut Studio Crash - Just Purchased and Installed - Crashes Immediately

Just installed Final Cut Studio (1).
Crashes immediately after open.
Please help.
I can provide report (code) if someone that can help needs to see it.
Thanks,
Dan

It is Snow Leopard. Don't run SL with your version of FCP. So what this means you have to do is back up all your files, erase the hard drive, install the Leopard OS from scratch (10.5), then fully update, then install FCS, and fully update. And stay there.
If your FCS is an older FCS, you can't run the latest OS, typically.

Final Cut Studio 2 with Leopard and Quick Time 7.3

I tried to upgrade to Leopard and Quick Time 7.3 early part of November and had numerous issues with Final Cut Pro. I had to revert back to 10.4.10 and quick time 7.2. Based on several postings on the discussion board, many others had the same issues... Is anyone aware if fixes have been implemented that would allow me to upgrade successfully at this time...
Thanks in advance for your comments/feedback...
JBK

Thanks... That is the steps that I took when I originally tried to upgrade. After talking to Apple back in early November, appeared there was issues with Quick Time 7.3... They recommended that I convert back.. Just wondering if any fixes had been put into place that would allow me to go ahead and upgrade.... Based on your comments, I am assuming that other users are successfully using Leopard and Quick Time 7.3 with Final Cut Pro.... If that is the case, I am not sure why my system will not work properly with QT 7.3.....

Installing Final Cut Studio to disk other than the startup disk?

Is it posable? if so, how. My startup disk is only 20GB and I have an 80GB in the case too, but no tiger install disk. It takes 30GB to do a full install.

The applications need to reside in the default location - on the startup disk. However, all the support files can be placed in other locations.
The apps = 5GB or so. It is all the support files that take up the space.
good luck.

Final Cut Studio 3 upgrade from FCS 2

What is the main difference between the Final Cut Studio 3 Upgrade version and the full retail version? I already have FCS 2 installed with all content but wonder if there's anything missing from the upgrade version compared to the full installation. Is it just the applications that are updated or is there any new content that I'll be missing with the upgrade?

And why would you trust us? We don't work for Apple and it is unlikely one of us will purchase both versions - so how would we know?
When in doubt, throw money in the general direction of uncertainty. It won't be a better solution but you'll feel that you've done everything possible to acquire the best solution. You'll also have the benefit if being able to sell your old FCS version on ebay because you won't need its serial number as a basis for the upgrade.
ymmv of course.
cheerios,

Updating Final Cut Studio 2.01 and workflow between FCP and AE

Hi. I am currently working in FCE 3.5 and am considering purchasing Final Cut Studio 2.01 (new and sealed) as opposed to the latest version since I am running a PowerPC G5. Am I assured of being able to download all the updates for Final Cut Pro 6 and exactly which version would be the latest and final one? Was there ever an FCP v6.5? I do mainly animation/motion graphics and work in After Effects (along w/ Flash, Carrara, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.). I understand that the workflow between FCP (as opposed to FCE) and AE is greatly enhanced. Can someone give me an idea of what advantages this new workflow will offer in terms of what I'll be able to accomplish that I can't do now w/ FCE? Also, any other comments on how FCP (as compared to FCE) will benefit me as an animator will be greatly appreciated. Lastly, am I correct in assuming that I will be able to open my FCE 3.5 project files in FCP 6 but not visa versa? Thanks. Jack.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I see that I will need some 3rd-party support in order to realize the benefit of a Final Cut Pro/After Effects workflow. Have another question. What are the kinds of filters that you can keyframe in FCP but not in FCE? And are there many filters in FCP that are not included w/ FCE? As I deal mainly w/ animation as opposed to footage of live video I am trying to justify the investment in Final Cut Studio 2 in terms of it being a benefit to me as an animator. I currently use FCE 3.5 (which includes versions of SoundTrack and LiveType) and After Effects CS3 plus other graphics programs. I would love to be able to work within DVD Studio Pro as iDVD is so limiting as an authoring program but am not sure how much I will benefit from switching from FCE to FCP. This is what I am trying to nail down.

No Final Cut Studio System ID file: Must re-enter the SN every time.

I was having trouble with needing to re-enter the FCS 3 SN every time I open an app. I am going mad. Another thread said to delete the Final Cut Studio System ID file then restart the program. Well now I have no Final Cut Studio System ID file and I STILL need to enter the SN every **** time I launch a program.
This was an upgrade from the FCS academic version.
Any help?

OK, let's give this a try.
First, let's create the systemid file again by launching Final Cut Pro and and re-register. This should create the files in the /tmp/ directory.
Then run this command in the Terminal.
launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.aelwriter.plist
launchctl start com.apple.aelwriter
Finally, run this command in the Terminal. It will ask you to enter your admin passward.
sudo /usr/sbin/AELWriter -installer
The files should have moved from /tmp/ to /Library/Application Support/ProApps/. If not then, something might be preventing from moving those files... perhaps a permission problem?

Canon FS11, FS10, FS100 and Final Cut Studio 2

I was wondering if anyone has tried downloading footage from the Canon FS10 or FS11 into Final Cut Pro 6? They use flash memory SDHC cards. They are the standard definition versions of the Canon HF 10 and 100.
I know they are not listed as compatible, but thought since they are using SDHC cards that maybe they do work. I have read in the forum discussions that people who have the Canon FS10 and 11 and are able to edit the footage easily with iMovie 08.
Does anyone know if iMovie is able to read the footage from the F11's flashdrive, does that mean Final Cut Pro 6 will do it as well or not necessarily? I would like to use my Final Cut Studio 2 to edit the footage.
Has anyone tried these out with any success?
If so what did you think of the cameras as a whole. There is not much out there about them yet.
Thanks!

+"Does anyone know if iMovie is able to read the footage from the F11's flashdrive, does that mean Final Cut Pro 6 will do it as well or not necessarily? I would like to use my Final Cut Studio 2 to edit the footage."+
iMovie and Final Cut Pro 6 could very well differ in the types of footage, they can read. If say, you had updated iMovie recently to the newest version it could have had increased capability in reading from a SDHC card. Also I use Final Cut Studio (5.1.4) and it seems to read just about any type of camera I hook up to it so I don't see why Final Cut Pro 6 wouldn't read this card, have you tried other cards? But yes, Final Cut Pro should be able to do anything that iMovie is able to do compatibility wise, unless iMovie is newer then your Final Cut version.
+"what did you think of the cameras as a whole"+
if you are referring to Canon cameras, then I have used a wide variety of them including the GL2 which I thought was a fabulous camera. Canon, in my opinion, is the best type of cameras you can find on the market and available to the general public.
Hope this helps,

Final Cut Studio on the Macbook?

Im looking to get either a Macbook or Macbook Pro around september and want to put Final Cut Studio on it. Is the Macbook powerful enough to handle Final Cut Studio or will I need to get one of the higher end Macbook Pros?

So really, the only options I have is getting a Macbook Pro either 15 or 17 inch? Should I get the 17 inch with some upgrades so I can effectively run Final Cut Studio?

Will Final Cut Studio do the job?

Hi
I've been using imovie for small easy projects for a number of years now and its great. However recently I filmed a wedding for some friends and need a program with a little more punch to do a professional job.
Firstly is Final Cut Studio accessible for a novice like me?
There are a few things I need to fix in post production that imovie just can't do. For example there are certain points where I need to eradicate bad camera shake. The other main problem is the sound. I recorded the sound separately on an audio device but for whatever reason the wav file is extremely quiet when played back. Therefore I need something to boost the sound. Is there anything in Final Cut Studio that will do this? These are the two big problems, there are other things like blond hair glair but I can sort that out later! Is Final Cut Studio right for me and do I have to be a computer genius in order to use it?
can anyone suggest any good books to purchase to help use the program.
Thanks
Kev

My friend has a new boxed Final Cut Express 4 (he hasn't even opened it!) he will sell to me dirt cheap so would the quality be better for importing on that?
Go for it! Although I said earlier to stay with iMovie, given you are using DV tape you are no doubt better off with FCE due to the quality difference when using DV (when compared to iMovie '09). As I mentioned, I'm happy with iMovie '09 as I'm using AVCHD and get great results. I continue to use iMovie HD 6 for DV, although just for some early projects that need to be edited or completed.
Otherwise how do I go about getting iMovie HD 6?
Users in the iMovie forums recommend eBay, as it is no longer available from Apple. However, as it is now a product not supported by Apple, you will be better off using Final Cut Express 4 - particularly as you can get it from your friend at a great price! Follow Ian's advice and work through the Izzy Video free tutorials - it appears to be an excellent resource.

Final Cut Studio license invalid after upgrading to Leopard?

Hello,
After upgrading to Leopard 10.5.1, Final Cut Studio v5.1.4 and its companion apps like DVD Studio 4 do not recognize my FC Studio License as valid. I input the license key and it says:
"Licensing Error
This application cannot continue because the licensing data is corrupt."
I am a licensed user via the FC Studio Crossgrade since 2006 and all has been fine with Tiger before Leopard.
I have used Disk Utility to "repair permissions". I have removed the FC files from the Preferences folder to give it a clean start.
PERHAPS A HINT?:
So I tried to re-install FC Studio 5.1 from the FC Install DVD and I get this message after inputting the key:
"Alert
Licensing Error: The license file will not be written to disk because the user does not have enough privileges."
I have Administrator privileges on this account and I even tried to install it as 'root' and the same error occurs.
Is there a file that I need to change permissions on?
THANKS for any help here! And happy holidays.
Bonafide

Hi,
Unfortunately there is also an issue with installing FCS2 on a brand new installation with Leopard and this licensing error.
"Alert Licensing Error: The license file will not be written to disk because the user does not have enough privileges."
This also occurs, apparently, that if you are logged in with an Active Directory user with Admin privileges it still will not let you install the product keys.
This is much the same as a problem with Adobe CS3 products, only the updates work when you are logged in with a local admin - not an Active Directory Admin.
Both these problems are really really annoying for those on corporate networks - such as myself.
For my problem, I had to log out as my AD account, login as a local admin and then install the software. .
