Final cut Studio 2 - how much a no-go with logic 9?

I have the new Logic 9 upgrade but I see in the installation notes that the new compressor 3.5 and Soundtrack Pro 3 Is "incompatible" with Final cut studio 2.
Now I also run Finalcut studio 2 apps regularly but I hadn't planned on upgrading just yet but I certainly want to see soundtrack pro 3 (so many bugs in v2!!).
Does anyone know what will happen if I install STP and compressor from logic 9 regardless? How incompatible is incompatible?

My experience with logic9 and FCS 2...
I've installed the full package of Logic 9 regardless of the incompatibility problems (yes, brave, I know:-)
You are indeed "allowed" to do this - you just click a sort of "do it anyway" button.
So far I have launched existing projects and done basic edit cuts in FCP with no problems. I've edited for a day so I feel happy to conclude that basic editing in FCP is not broken.
I have exported ref. and self-contained movies via quicktime conversion so thats not broken.
I have exported XML files from FCP to Logic 9, thats not broken.
Soundtrack v3 launches, plays audio and appears to be ok after about 15mins of me testing - by no means conclusive testing.
I've used logic for a day and it seems just dandy.
I have not used colour, compressor or motion.
Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone else is facing the same dilemma as I was.

  • 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 5.1 won't install with new imac7,1 running Snow Leopard

    Howdy
    I bought Final Cut Studio 5.1 (FCP5, Motion2, etc) and tried to install on a very modern machine running snow leopard.
    The machine meets all the system requirements, as far as i can tell, but when i click to install, i get the following:
    Alert
    Your computer does not have the hardware required to run this software. See the Read Me for details.
    Is this a graphics card issue?
    Obviously i'm a bit annoyed because the of the costs and i thought a high-end computer would be able to run this 5-year old software package.
    If anyone can advise me of a way to circumnavigate the problem using the tools i already have, i'd be very appreciative.
    Thanks!
    ALB

    Hi, thanks for replies.
    It was bought from a reseller and is version 5.1.
    I was under the impression that you could only upgrade if you had a previous version of FCS installed. Since i cannot install the version i have, i cannot upgrade.
    I did try the 'esc' key but it didn't have any effect at all - this is a good tip though, so thanks for the idea. I'm sure one day i'll need to use it.
    I'm close to admitting defeat and selling it on again, but if there are any FCS experts out there with a fix, that'd be super awesome!

  • Is there a way to instal Final cut studio 2 in the new iMac with Lion?

    My new iMac arrived with pre installed Os x Lion. When tried to instal FCS2 it gives me error that it can't open it because PowerPC apps are no longer supported. Geniuses . I'm wandering, since I can't downgrade to snow leopard, is there a way around this. Can I buy the snow leopard, instal only the Roseta , instal FCS2 and then uninstall the Roseta?
    Has any of you encounter this problem?
    Are the new iMacs exclusively done to run with Lion?

    You will need to install Snow Leopard in order to be able to run the FCS 2 Installer since it requires Rosetta. Note however, that the applications do not require Rosetta (they are UB). So after having installed FCS you could now upgrade to Lion if you want .... but upgrading the OS over an installed version of FCS is not recommended practice.
    Personally, I'd just get a copy of Snow Leopard and stick with that .... or get FCS 3 (and stick with Snow Leopard).

  • Release product serial number for final cut studio

    i bought an imac. gonna take it back. installed final cut studio. how can i unlock the key for the next computer? do i have to contact apple to release it?

    You can uninstall all of the FCS components from the iMac before you return it by using this: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcs_remover.htm
    When you install FCS on the new computer, use the serial number that was included with the FCS package - it is on stickers affixed to the front cover of the booklet titled "Installing Your Software."

  • Troubles with playing out from Final Cut Studio to a camera

    hello!
    have troubles when playing out to a DV camcorder. i 've got a mac mini intel, final cut studio and 2 sony DV cameras with dv in.
    capturing works fine, but when i put the captured movie to the timeline, then on both cameras there are 4 small bars (2 vertical, 2 horizontal), which shows some content of the captured files. the rest of the display stays black. looks very strange.
    tried to reinstall quicktime, tried to erase quicktime receipts and quicktime settings.. it worked then, but just for one time. after restarting the mac the same problem occured.
    thanks for your help!!

  • Final Cut Studio is crashing a lot using a Mac Pro (nehalem) 2009

    Greetings,
    I have a video workstation based on a Mac Pro (2x2.26GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon Nehalem, 6 GB RAM, 640 GB HD, 512 NVIDEA VRAM) with a Blackmagic Decklink HD Extreme 2009 and an Highpoint RocketRAID 4322 card (properly connected to a RAID 5 array).
    I'm editing, with Final Cut Studio 3, a big TV project with some TGA and loads of HD XDCAM EX 35mbs video footage.
    *What is happening wrong?*
    Final Cut Pro is crashing to many times and dont let me work with the flow that is supposed. I start to work and i do a bit of scrubbing in the timeline and suddenly the rainbow spyral starts to spin and kaput! FCP just crashes.
    I've tried to many things. Re-installing everything from the baseline, plug out the 2 PCIe cards (and not even the drivers are installed). Even so FCP still crashes with the project.
    Funny thing is... This symptom only happens with the Nehalem Mac Pro. I have another station based on a Mac Pro 2x2.66 GHz Dual Core Xeon 3 GB RAM 2006 and when i run the project... everything works fine. FCP here doesn't crash.
    This is what makes me believe that the problem must be with the new Mac Pro.
    I have the reports generated by the FCP after the crash. You can find it here:
    http://www.ideiascompernas.com/reports/
    I'm getting frustrated because i've invested big in this workstation, safe in the knowledge that it was going to be stable to complete my requirements.
    Is there anything that i or Apple can do to resolve my problem. Is it the processor? Extended Hardware Test says that everything is ok.
    I'll be waiting,
    best regards, thanks,
    Pedro

    I see you have the GT120, not a very nice card really but maybe it is 'enough.' I'd upgrade. To ATI Radeon 4870, once you get it stable and working.

    Almost always that is memory related, are you seeing parity errors?
    Watch System Profile - Memory tab
    Replace the RAM (I'd even up it to more memory, 6 x 2GB is what I would have configured for)
    Have you tested your RAM? run Apple Hardware Test?
    Disabled ALL USB and Firewire devices?
    Is the RR4322 okay to run in slot #2 (16x) rather than in slot 3 or 4 (4x)?
    Getting RAM replaced, advanced exchange, or go out and getting some Kingston or Crucial etc for your system, and swapping, really is one good method, trial and error, to find the cultprit or rule out RAM.
    Errors like this can mean flushing your caches is a must, and possibly due to errors and crashes, clean system install, checking data (both time consuming) and being careful to recheck your drives with Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro 5 to insure there are not any corrupt files (not perfect either which is why restore the system from known good backup image can be a must).

  • Final Cut Studio 2 and avc-intra

    I am using Final Cut Studio 2 and am having trouble with .mxf files. I downloaded the avc-intra decoder drive from Panasonics site and a majority of the files ended 3/4 of the way through with sever audio noise at the end. I sent the drive back to the cameraman to see if he had better luck, turns out he did... Though I saw that he was using Final Cut Studio 3 and the quicktime files he provided back were formatted as AVC-Intra 100M...which is neither playable in quicktime or editable in Final Cut Studio 2.
    What am I missing? Time to upgrade? What can I do in the meantime.
    Thanks for the ideas!

    Well, you can't use the file he sent unless you upgrade. But if you get the card dumps back, you should be able to LOG AND TRANSFER to ProRes on your system fine. Or was that the issue? They had garbage at the end?
    Trashing preferences fixes a lot of FCP oddities.

  • Major meltdown - Can't seem to reinstall Final Cut Studio 6

    Hello All,
    My Final Cut stopped working. Specifically, it couldn't find the compressor application. I decided to "zero out" my MacBook Pro, and reinstall the operating system. I intended to then reinstall Final Cut Studio 6.
    All went well with the "zero out" and reinstallation of the OS Mac OS X (10.4.11). However, when I attempt to reinstall FCP 6, after the first audio content 1 disc, the system asks for the reinsertion of the Final Cut Studio Install disc. I then get a message that the installation failed, and please try again.
    Well, I've tried 5 times, and no success.
    Can someone advise where to from here. I'm dead in the water.
    Thank you.

    I was instructed to purchase the upgrade ($300), as it will only require my serial number, and I'm told my version will not be supported soon enough as the OS evolves.
    While Apple may not be supporting FCP 6 any more, FCP 6 should definitely still install on your OS. You also should be aware that FCP 7 is not supported on OS X 10.4 so if you do choose to upgrade, you will need to also buy Leopard or Snow Leopard.

  • Final Cut Studio on new iMac running MacOS 10.8

    Several days ago, my beloved MacBook Pro died.
    While its portability will be missed, money is tight and the Apple Store's offer of a refurbished new-for-late-2012 iMac was an offer I could not refuse.
    MY NEW HARDWARE:
    refurb new-for-2012 iMac, 2.9 GHz Core i5, 8 GB of RAM, 1 TB hard drive, external USB Apple SuperDrive, MacOS 10.8, Apple Thunderbolt-to-FireWire adaptors
    MY VIDEO GEAR
    Canon Vixia HV40 (HDV)
    Canon Digital Rebel T3
    MY VIDEO SOFTWARE
    Apple Final Cut Studio 3
    Are there any issues with the new iMac or MacOS 10.8 to be on the lookout for?

    Some people have reported issues withthe Tb-FW adaptor in capturing. Lots of posts on the FCPX forum of freezes with the 2 GB GPU. But overall, your iMac should be fast and solid.
    Nice acquisition.

  • Final Cut Studio 2: needing to update older version before install

    I am trying to install FCS 2 upgrade from FCS, but it tells me I have an older version and that it "needs to be updated" before I can continue. The manual says that "To avoid compatibility issues, the Final Cut Studio installer requires you to update all Final Cut Studio applications to the version included with Final Cut Studio 2." I am not sure what this means, since I am just now installing FCS 2. I've read the messages here about upgrading from FCP 5.0.4, my FCP version, to 5.1 via a crossgrade on disks from Apple. Does this mean that I need to buy this crossgrade before I can finish the upgrade to FCS 2? This requirement is not listed on the FCS 2 box, but I can't seem to find anything else that would "update" my older version. And is this true for each of the other applications in the suite?
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    No, you don't need to buy the crossgrade. I just updated the PPC version of FCS to FCS2 yesterday. (I had transferred these applications over to my new Intel Mac from a G5 even though I knew they wouldn't run on the Intel Mac until I could update with the Universal version). What I did end up having to do was to manually delete everything from the PPC installation (applications, preferences, application support files, etc.). Then install from the FCP2 disks, having your old FCP registration number ready to enter in the dialogue box that comes up when you try to upgrade. While the installer says you are upgrading, in fact it installs the new universal versions of the applications.

  • Final Cut Studio Re-Install Failure

    My Final Cut Studio is no longer operational.  I used FCP a couple of weeks ago with no issues.  This morning SoundTrack 3.0.1 refuses to start up, neither does Final Cut Pro 7.0.3.  I uninstalled both SoundTrack and FCP and then found that my install disc for Final Cut Studio (Version 5.1) comes up with a message about no longer supporting PPC's and so will not install.  I have a Mac Pro 1.1, OS 10.7.5.  Any asistance would be greatly appreciated. 

    First and foremost, make sure you use the proper tools for uninstalling: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
    FCP 5.1 was the first "universal" version of FCP, meaning that it would run on both PPC and Intel processor Macs.  But if you have FCP 7, that means you should have Final Cut Studio 2009 (aka Final Cut Studio 3) since that's the only way you could purchase FCP 7.
    To update your software to the latest version that you paid for, run Software Update on your Mac (under the Apple menu).

  • Final Cut Studio & Logic Studio upgrade issue

    I am mainly audio based but have been working on projects more recently with Final Cut Studio 2 to deal with the video. As I use both Logic Studio 8 and Soundtrack Pro 2 a lot, and Final Cut Pro less, I plumped for the upgrade to Logic Studio which also contains STP 3 and Compressor 3.5 which seemed the right thing to do.
    However the install info and dvd doesn't want you to install STP 3 or Compressor 3.5 if you have Final Cut Studio 2 as they "contain updated components that are incompatible with Final Cut Studio 2 or earlier. If the Logic Studio installer detects Final Cut Studio 2 or earlier on your system, it automatically deselects the checkboxes for Soundtrack Pro and Compressor in the Custom Install pane."
    Personally I didn't want to run to the expense of upgrading Final Cut as I don't use Motion, Colour or Cinema Tools and although I am working heavily in DVD Studio Pro they haven't done anything to upgrade that application (boo!)
    So what's the deal? Am I unable to upgrade ST Pro to version 3 and also unable to benefit from the upgraded Compressor even though I've actually paid for an upgrade that promised me these options, and no mention until I'd opened the package that there would be any incompatibility issues with Final Cut Studio 2!
    Anyone know what these 'incompatible components' are?
    Sounds like sharp practice and bad product integration to me...

    I just spoke with someone in Apple Reseller Channel Sales and he told me that what is shipping now is strictly the Universal version. So, if you order a Final Cut Studio Upgrade from FCP HD ($699 retail, IIRC), you will receive the FCS Universal version in the big box with all the docs.
