Final Cut Studio 2 - Problems Capturing From XL2

Hey guys - I upgraded to FC Studio 2 a while ago, and haven't tried to capture video until today. For some reason, the log and capture window is not displaying anything but color bars. It's communicating with the camera, because is starts to play, but no video on my monitor... help! Thanks guys.

Sure your capture presets are correct?

    Can u upgrade Final Cut studio product key from a G-5 platform to a new intel processor?

    Not sure here ... you want to upgrade Final Cut Studio or do you want to move the version you have to an Intel Mac? Both is possible if you meet the system requirments.
    1. Upgrade FCS
    The Final Cut Studio upgrade provides an upgrade path from Final Cut Studio 2, Final Cut Studio 1, Production Suite, or any prior version of Final Cut Pro. Academic and Not-For-Resale (NFR) versions are not eligible for upgrade.
    2. Upgrade to Intel Mac
    You may run the applications on one desktop and one laptop at the same time

  • Can't open Final Cut Studio 2010 upgrade from Apple page

    Hi all
    I'm setting up a new MacBook Pro, running Lion, after being away from video editing for a while. And not having a more techie person around to help. So after checking  forums I installed Final Cut Studio 3.00 off disk.
    Thought I'd better add the Apple 2010 update at: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL949  But after downloading it several times I can't open the dmg - it gives an error message: saying 'can't open .. invalid checksum'. Also - with Lion can only format the external drive as OS Extended Journalled. I'm just doing a short doco - using some footage off tape.
    So I'm hoping someone can help - does it matter not having the update? Will the drive be able to cope in Journalled format?

    Thanks Nick
    Tried that & it does also bring up  a few other updates. But it still goes to the link to download the update dmg - which can't be opened.  Good news is that FCP seems to be working fine for what I'm doing now - which is capturing off tape & editing. Still, Iwouldn't mind updating though.
    Sorry for slow reply but been having Applle ID problems, but that's another story.

  • Final Cut Studio 2: upgrade from Final Cut Express HD

    I'm guessing I know the answer to this question already, but I'm hoping someone will tell me I'm not correct. Is there an upgrade path from Final Cut Express HD 3.5.1 to Final Cut Studio 2? I don't see one listed on the software page in the Apple store. Seems ashame if there isn't. I'm sure there are other FCE HD owners out there who would like to upgrade rather than starting over for the tune of $1299.

    And it's well worth it. you can recoup a little of
    your cost by uninstalling fce and selling it.
    What's required in order to sell it? Can the registration be transferred to a new owner?

  • 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.

  • Final Cut won't capture from the DVX100b? How do you remove 2323 pulldown?

    I connected the DVX to Final Cut and loaded Log and Capture. When I click capture Now, the black final cut screen just hangs and it maintains saying "waiting for timecode ... must be in vtr mode" The camera is in VCR mode. I'm able to look through the tape from the Log and Capture screen but it just hangs when told to actually capture?
    Also, I have footage in regular 24p mode, but I don't see an option to capture and remove 2323 pulldown, only 2332 which is only for 24pA?
    Thanks!

    If you want to mix 24P and 60i in a timeline, DO NOT remove pulldown. 24P with a pulldown plays nicely with 60i. Straight 24fps won't go into a 60i timeline without smearing or adding a pulldown. 60i won't go into a 24fps timeline without mushing the frames together. Not pretty...

  • Final Cut Studio 2 Upgrade from FCS - How's It Going?

    Hello
    I'm been using FCS 5.1 with great success. I have quite a bit of WWII footage stored and edited. The color correction program, 'Color' in FCS 2 is superior to FCS. I bought the upgrade but haven't put it in yet. Was wondering if you guys could give me your opinions about the Upgrade? Does it open older projects ok? Is it problematic in any areas? I do realize once you've opened a older project, it will forever be saved in the newer version.
    Thank You

    lol.
    FCP 6...Studio 2...is a great improvement over FCP 5.1.4. Color makes it worth it, Motion 3 makes it worth it. Added support for other formats and better stability makes it worth it. Upgrade is solid....go for it.

  • Upgrade to Final Cut Studio 2 from FCP problem

    Hello,
    I'm trying to install Final Cut Studio 2 upgrade from Final Cut Pro or Production Suite, during the installation process, when i have to insert the original serial number of my older Fina Cut studio, installer show me an error message telling that my serial number is invalid!
    What can i do? Both products are original!
    Thanks

    Call Apple if you're really sure that you are entering the numbers correctly. ones can look like L's and zero's look like Ohs... etc..
    Here's a read on install issues too: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303184 Might help... if it doesn't though, Apple will fix you right up.

  • Final Cut Studio 2 Migration path from Final Cut Express

    I'm currently using FCE HD 3.5, which I upgraded from FCE version 1.0
    I understand that no migration path exists from Final Cut Express to Final Cut Studio 2.
    However I have seen on ebay someone selling an upgrade to Final Cut Pro 5 HD from Final Cut express.
    I was wondering.... if I got this then could I then get a Final Cut Studio 2 Upgrade from FCP 5 HD?
    Does anyone see any problems with doing this? It seems to be a way to save money.
    Thanks,
    Steve.

  • Final Cut studio install problem.

    Just installed Final cut Studio, problem is i got everthing, except FCP7. why? I tried to reinstall but its not working...
    Help!

    You can't install FCP 7 if FCPX is already on your system. Remove everything with this: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
    Install FCS3 first, run all updates then download FCP X again. AppStore knows that you already payed for it.

  • 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!

  • Final Cut Studio uninstall

    I just received my Final Cut Studio cross-grade from Motion2. I really want to get it installed, but I'm in the middle of a large 3d project using Lightwave, so I'm a little nervous about installing Final Cut Studio. Is there an easy way to uninstall it should it cause a problem with Lightwave?

    Yes, you can uninstall it, but I would realllllly recommend waiting until you're finished with your large project before you make any drastic changes on your system. To me, it's just asking for trouble.
    If you absolutely need to install it and then discover you have to uninstall, there are several files you need to get rid of, in various places on your system drive. You can find a list of them in the Apple support section of their site, and I do believe another kind poster listed them out a couple of weeks back here in the forum. You can probably find it in a search.
    It's a simple process, but I've found sometimes that when I run into conflicts from installing something new, the fix isn't always as simple as uninstalling the culprit. Sometimes files are overwritten and things are changed that really need to be researched in order to get everything up and running smoothly again. So that's why I'd say wait until your big project is finished if you can. Blah blah yadda blah, hope this helps.

  • Final Cut Studio Upgrade?

    Hello!
    I just recently purchased Final Cut Studio 3 lisence from a local retail store (varimport) and had my 3% discount in price as I'm a student. I'm also very keen to upgrade to the future version of Final Cut Studio and I'd like to know can I upgrade my version with the upgrade version (299$) or do I have to purchase a completely new license? I've had different answers to this question and now I'd like to ask it here on Apple's official forum . I mean the situation is pretty bad if I have to spend another 'round 1000€ for a new license this year.... or whenever the next major version will come out. In the end that 3% discount really doesn't mean anything when the price is that high.
    Thanks in advance,

    Current academic versions of Final Cut (which you got) will not upgrade to newer versions of Final Cut. They will update via Software Updater for patches, but not to a full new version. You'll have to buy a full version.
    As for price, in the past, sometimes the academic versions were about the same price as the upgrades. This latest version, the academic prices went up significantly.
    What will happen in the next version? Who knows. But there's the current situation and the history. Roll the bones.

  • Final Cut Studio 1.1?

    Sup sup,
    A little background: got the Software Update pop-up just now - I have it set to Daily - and, by accident, clicked on the link for the Apple SLAs.
    I was about to close Safari when I noticed some new-to-me software versions (FCP 5.1, DVDSP 4.1, STP 1.1, Motion 2.1). Also, there's an SLA for Final Cut Studio 1.1. I clicked on that and noticed this:
    This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on one Apple-labeled desktop computer and one Apple-labeled laptop computer so long as both computers are owned and used by you.(Of course, it goes on to contradict itself by saying that "This License does not allow the Apple Software to exist on more than one computer at a time" but anway...)
    For reference, the Final Cut Studio license (not 1.1, that is), reads:
    This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on a single computer at a time.
    A search of Apple.com for "Final Cut Studio 1.1" only returns the SLA page.
    So that brings me to my question: Is anyone here familiar with Final Cut Studio 1.1? Is it some other type of license, like a special Volume License? Or perhaps the Crossgrade license?
    Please don't use this as a jump-off to speculate - I ain't trying to get any heat brought down on us - I'm simply curious if anyone knows anything about this license since the SLA is available online.

    Brian, sorry if my post is misleading you. No disagreement here about what the latest versions available via Software Update are (FCP 5.0.4 is what I know to be correct as well).
    My question is about the very fact that SLAs 'exist' for FCP 5.1, et al.
    I'm getting those version numbers (along with Final Cut Studio 1.1) from Apple's SLA page.
    I take it this is new(s) to you?
