Final Cut Studio 2 Apple Loops, Jam Packs and Logic express 8 installation?

Hi(Bonjour)!
I've currently use Final Cut Studio 2 +Soundtrack Pro 2.0.2+ application with all included Apple Loops.
I own several Jam Pack Apple Loops packages (with a less than impressive integration with Garage Band for older one).
I purchased Logic Express 8 pro today.
Is there more Apple Loops files included with Logic express 8 than with Soundtrack Pro 2?
What is the best way to install Logic express 8 Apple Loops to avoid duplicate loops files?
Thank You.
Michel Boissonneault

Well, the installation was very simple, no duplicate files and tight integration of GarageBand loops and JamPacks.

Final cut studio pro 6 install problems and error message

Purchased a new macbook and am having trouble installing Final Cut Studio Pro 6- get this error message: You can't open the appliction FinalCutStudio.mpkg because PowerPC applications are no longer supported - have never seen this before, any clues?

The installer requires Rosetta to be present, but Lion doesn't include it anymore. You can try to install Rosetta from a Snow Leopard disc using the "Optional Installs". Note that this is not officially supported: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4769
There have also been reports that Lion will break most plugins for FCS 2 and FCS 3.

Final Cut Studio 2 Impressions with HV20 and HDV Impressions

Ok, so I got FCS 2 up and running Monday evening. I took work off yesterday to watch all the tutorials and to play with all the new software. I got a good grip of Motion 3, FCP6 and Soundtrack. I didn't bother with DVD Studio Pro, and Color is confusing as all get out. I'll be focusing more time on Color this weekend since I hear I should probably read the whole manual.
The camera I'm currently using is a Canon HV20 which is an HDV camera. I've found that the cadence issue is still not resolved (not that Apple said they would, but in case anyone was wondering, it's all the same) and the drop frame issue during capture, especially batch capture, ALSO hasn't been resolved (again, not that Apple said they would).
If you're upgrading from FCP 5 to 6 thinking your HDV issues or HV20 issues will go away, you're mistaken. It's all exactly the same. Batch capture can be finicky and the cadence issue still needs you to either import through AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec) OR you have to batch capture then export all your clips as AIC so you can remove each clip's interlaced frames. The resulting clips will be true 24p, and they look awesome for such a cheap camera. However, you have to figure out which process works best. I like logging and capturing if for no other reason just to be organized. However, with an HV20, importing the whole tape through AIC, removing the interlaced frames and then, within Final Cut, cutting up the scenes you need might actually take less time. It's up to you.
The silver lining comes in with the new software: Color. AIC tends to wash the image out just SLIGHTLY. It's not too noticeable, but it's definitely there. With Color, you can take your AIC'ed clips and tweak them to look as good (or better depending on how good you are) as the image would've looked had it come in via HDV codec. Of course, there's technicalities and there's still some quality loss no matter what, but Color is superbly powerful as my friend showed me.
ProRes codec isn't very good, IMHO. I imported some clips on my buddy's computer as ProRes and I even made some of my HDV clips at home with ProRes, and there seems to be a lot of artifacts especially around any movement in the scene. I actually don't like the codec at all. Maybe it's just me.
Otherwise, I really love FCP 6. The multi-codec timeline is pretty freakin fun, and I love some new interactions with Motion. Time tweaking is more approachable this time around through Motion AND Final Cut. It's fun to play with.
I found that smooth cam's a bit annoying. Even on an original imported clip that was only a minute long, the subclip that was only 20 seconds, took 10 minutes to analyze. I understand that it's analyzing the full clip, but Apple should figure out a way to have it simply analyze just the subclip in the timeline. Also, you have to know when to use smoothcam. There were a few tests I ran, and some resulted in BIZARRE movement and others the thing worked nicely after some tweaking. So be aware it's not something you can always fall back on.
That's all I can think of right off the bat. If you have questions or more comments, please post

I've found that the cadence issue
is still not resolved
Well, I'm not a very technical person, so I'll explain this the best I can. The HV20 can record at 1080/24p. However, no matter what, it'll always record to tape in 60i, but it does so by recording 3 progressive frames and 2 interlaced frames. I'm not sure why, but that's how they figured how to do it. Which means, when you import it to the computer, it doesn't recognize your 24p as 24p, it sees it as 60i.
So now you have a few extra steps you have to accomplish. In order to do a reverse telecine on the sequence, you have to use Cinema Tools so you can take out the interlace frames and leave the progressive frames leaving you a true 24p sequence. But Cinema Tools can't do that to a strictly HDV encoded sequence, so you either have to import it from your camera using AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec) or via HDV 60i which you then have to take those clips and turn them into AIC clips. When you capture using AIC, you can't batch capture, you have to capture chunks at a time, but when you capture using HDV you CAN batch capture (although it has some issues), but you then have to make those clips into AIC anyway.
Then you'd take the AIC clips, put them into Cinema Tools, figure out the Cadence of the clips (I(Interlaced)I_P(Progressive)_PP) etc and choose a reverse telecine setting which would then remove the interlace frames. This takes more time than one would like, and I was hoping FCP 6 might have dealt with that issue.
the drop frame issue during capture,
especially batch capture, ALSO hasn't been resolved
HDV cameras in general have problems in FCP it seems. When you try to batch capture, FCP says it can't find the right timecode even though there's no timecode breaks or anything. Frankly, when it tells you it can't find the right timecode, you simply tell it to look again and, oops, there's the right timecode. Not sure which end has the problem, but it's annoying.
This will help you with the Cinema Tools Cadence settings:

Final cut studio 2

I am installing final cut studio 2 on my computer and its been awhile since I bought it so I am not sure which disc its asking for. I have so many final cut disc here mixed up here, I put in the install disc and then it ask for Audio Content one could someone tell me what disc that is I have motion and apple loops and dvd studio 4 but can't seem to find the Audio Content disc and what version it is? Thanks

well I imagine the audio content disk is labelled ... wait for it... "audio content." You can choose NOT to install additional content (like audio content) if you can't find the disk, so that you can successfully install the applications.

Final Cut Studio 2 - not on Mac Mini?

I moved away from Mac towers around 12 months ago as I just didn't need the power and the Mac Mini has served me well since then, even running Final Cut Pro and DVD Studio Pro etc.
However, a worrying section of the spec requirements for Final Cut Studio 2 is 'An AGP or PCI Express Quartz Extreme graphics card (Final Cut Studio is not compatible with integrated Intel graphics processors)'
That basically means if you have a Mac Mini you are screwed, right? Therefore if I want to run Final Cut Pro 6 I need to get a tower? Crikey, that's bad news if that is the case...
As an aside - why the **** don't Apple release a 'Mac Middle' - a mini tower with space for two Sata drives and perhaps a maximum of 4Gb and a single Core duo. That way the Mac Pro is protected for the high end but the pro apps are far more affordable and worthwhile on a cheaper platform. Just my 2p worth!

Go to the individual applications page for detail and read the specs VERY closely. If it says it needs a video card or processor of a certain level - well - that's what it means. In years past, some hacks have been made but who knows if that is possible in the next generation. I certainly would not count on it.

Final Cut Studio on Intel PowerMacs?

I am planning on eventually upgrading to a top of the line PowerMac for editing using Final Cut Studio (which I currently own and run on my PowerBook), but I have a few questions that I need to figure out before making a decision on what to get and when to get it.
So I know all this is a little ways off, but soon enough, Apple PowerMacs will be running on Intel processors. Does anyone know if they will be fully capable of running the current version of Final Cut Studio (which is made for the PowerPC processor) and how much slower it would be, since it would be run using Rosetta? When Apple releases the Intel PowerMac, do you think it would be better to get the older generation Quad G5 or the newer and supposedly much faster Intel PowerMac, which would have to run Final Cut Studio through Rosetta, which would slow it down (if it indeed can run the app). Thanks a lot for the input.
15" PowerBook G4 1.25 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.3)

As I understand it, Apple has since OS X created versions of all its applications for both Intel and PowerPC.
Perhaps not all its system levels, but its pro apps.
Remember that Apple bought Final Cut Pro (nee Final Cut) from Macromedia, where the program, originally developed for PC and at one time earmarked to be the front-end editing software for Media 100 on the PC, was being developed by Randy Ubillos.
It was originally called "Key Grip."

"Clean Unintall" or Final Cut Studio 2, running on Snow Leopard ?????

Hey Folks:
I am a newbie to Final Cut Studio 2 and have had some major problems. I run the latest version of Snow Leopard and was able to install FC Studio 2 with no problems. I have a JVC BR-HD50 deck and took some test footage this week. Finding out how to log and capture JVC 24p was a task in and of it's self, but I get it to run and captured some footage into FC Studio 2.
Now the problem, Final Cut Studio stopped letting me log and capture. I tried to wipe and reinstall the software 4 times in the last 2 days and can't get rid of it completely. I used "FCS Remover" by Digital Rebellion, reloaded the FCP disks and still; still had old registration info appear when I rebooted.
I tried Apple's "Final Cut Assistant 1.0.6" the second time to wipe out user prefs, everything in fact - then reloaded all the FCP Studio disks and again the registration info is the still the old one (I misspelled my name so I see this each time I launch the application) and importing from the JVC deck is now not working correctly. I trashed all the FCP scratch files, ran all the utilities, scanned for anything on my drives that might be old pref files. Still on the forth reload of the DVD's the same registration name comes up. I can't log and capture, (I have it set to the correct import prefs for my deck)
Three xanax later, 48 hours without sleep; still have a app that won't run, I am at my wits end.
Anyone know how to totally wipe FC Studio 2 so I can get a "clean" start?
Thank you for your help in advance! (Rehab is in my near future)

License Error on Final Cut Studio install

We just purchased Final Cut Studio 5.11 from the Mall of America Apple Store. After entering the serial number for Final Cut Studio, the Install screen moves on to the installation type, but gives me the following error,
"Licensing Error: The license file will not be written to disk because the user does not have enough privileges"
I have one account on this machine, which is the Administrator account, I am logged into it during installation, I even have a done a few things that made it ask me for my password, and this still comes up.
After encountering that error, i was still able to install the software, but none of the programs will run, each asking for name/company/serial, then telling me the liscense file is not found.
Help!
thank you!
Ross Hendrickson

I can't seem to find the license file, i've looked under library, and application support.
I have checked on my permissions, and I have read&write permissions to my home folder, applications, system, and both library folders.
In the Final Cut forum it said people were having problems with upgrading. I had an old version of FCP that I thought I had deleted, but maybe that is causing problems? Should I somehow uninstall all FCS/FCP info and start over?
thanks!

Motion Download - Final Cut Studio 2

Hi,
I'm abroad, in London, and only have Final Cut Pro and DVD Studio Pro installed on my laptop. I left my Final Cut Studio install discs in California and am in need of Motion.
I also have the serial and receipt for my upgrade to Final Cut Studio 2. I searched Apple's download section to no avail. Is there a way to download and install Motion without the installation DVDs?

Motion and its many gigabytes of associated content are not available for download. I'ld contact a local post house and ask if you can have access to the installation DVDs...

Any idea what should i do ?? should I delete all related files including in the Library etc.. and if I have to do this, how ?
Thanks

Ran into same problems. Tried many things. Finally removed Apperture because with FCS Remover, it says not to do a complete uninstall if you have other Pro software on your computer. (This is a new computer and I didn't have any pics in Apperture yet). After removing Apperture, I removed ALL of FCP with FCP remover. Then I installed ONLY Final Cut. Yeah! It installed. So I got brave and installed only Motion. It worked fine as well. Then I got greedy and tried to install Live Type. Got hung up again on the "running package scripts". Ugh. Out of time. I really wanted these three applications at least. I'm bummed that I can only get two of them.

How to remove Final Cut Studio content, extras, etc?

Hi,
I want to say that I do not want to delete the apps. What I want to do is only remove the extra content.
Essentially, I installed the entire Final Cut Studio on my MacBook Pro and am realizing I should not have done the complete install (eats up hard drive like no tomorrow).
So.. any / all advice would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!

In Motion, open the Motion preferences found in the Motion menu... on the front page you see the path names to templates and livefonts... If you remove them, you could place them on another drive like a FW drive... and access them that way.
In Livetype, The media files are located in Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/LifeType/Templates. You could move them, then add their new location to the window that opens when you select LiveType's Preferences. Then LT will look for templates in this new location.
In DVD SP, the location of styles and templates is near the same path as in LiveType, however in the DVD SP folder. To reset them to a new location, the preferences for DVD SP you can change the location of where DVD SP looks for these...
I'd not want to lose them altogether, but you won't hurt anything doing so... I'd put them on an external drive and reset where the various apps look for them, and if all is well, delete the originals...
