FINAL CUT STUDIO 5.1 (Universal) compatibility with Mac os 10.6.4

We have just purchased a brand-new Mac Pro running Mac OS 10.6.4 my question is this, are there any known incompatibilities with Final Cut Studio 5.1 (Universal) running on a Mac Pro with Mac os 10.6.4.

Try the Firewire Basic setting.
Also, your camera should be powered on and connected before the mac is turned on. Then, when you fire up the mac and launch FCP, close any projects that open with it.
Then, choose your Easy Setup before you open a new porject to capture into. Then it should work.

  • What do I need to do to install Final Cut Studio version 2 on a new Mac Book Pro

    What do I need to do to install Final Cut Studio version 2 on a new Mac Book Pro that does not support power PC anymore

    You need to install Rosetta from a OSX 10.6 install disk.
    FCS2 is intel native, it is only the installer that requires PPC support.

  • Final Cut Studio 2 and New Macbooks with Nvidia graphics

    Do the new Macbooks announced today (10/14/2008) meet the minimum system requirements for running Final Cut Studio 2?

    Lecturing? Really? Not hardly, but I'll answer your query as succinctly as possible.
    Will the new Macbook run Final Cut Studio 2? I will wager that FCP will operate, DVD SP will operate and Soundtrack Pro will operate. I highly doubt Color will operate and am not sure about Motion due to the graphics card.
    That should answer your question. To "lecture" some more, where will you have media stored and how will you get media, any sort of media into these applications?
    As far as graphics and video are concerned, that distinction has been met above. I'm sure the Macbook will operate Photoshop with no problem.
    But again, why not check the minimum tech specs for yourself?

  • 5.1 surround audio into Final Cut Studio out to AVI file with 5.1 surround?

    Someone wants to give me a 5.1 surround sound audio file for importing into my Final Cut Studio project, then I export my video (now with 5.1 surround) out to an AVI file with the 5.1 surround sound intact. How do I do this?
    thanks

    I also have this problem...
    Purchased an HD TV show (Nip/Tuck) and selected the alternate audio track labeled "Surround Audio" and got that digital audio "NOISE".
    Regular audio sounds fine - can play iTunes music and system sounds sound good, just can't select the alternate "Surround" audio track without getting the noise.
    I'm on an "older" MacMini - Intel CoreDuo using the SPDIF optical output into a Pioneer 5.1 receiver set to the appropriate Optical input and "Dolby Digital". I attempted to change the audio input processing on the receiver...all of which have the noise described by others...
    Would LOVE a solution to this problem...

  • Final Cut Studio 3 - 64 bit compatability

    When Snow Leopard was announced as being 64 bit, i expected Final Cut Studio 3 to follow the same lines. When Final Cut Studio 3 came out i realized there was no mention of 64 bit or multi-core capabilities. The only application that has multi-core capabilities is Compressor! Will there be an update to incorporate 64 bit?

    One of the most succesful cars of all time was the Volkswagen "Beetle"
    This was because it was a simple basic machine that got you to work every day without breaking down and costing a fortune in repairs. The design didn't change much over fifty years and it sold by the
    million.
    Maybe Apple should look at it's market and think about what it is trying to
    achieve. Is it looking for ever more stratospheric parameters of technics which ahieve
    finer and finer levels of almost indiscernible differentials? Or should it deliver a reliable work horse on which people can make films of an acceptable level
    of proficiency and rely on for long periods without having to worry about whether it is
    going to crash in the middle of a crucial capture or delivery
    Maybe it should be thinking about two separate machines : one for the sports fans and one for the boring old workers.

  • Can Final Cut Studio be installed on a new Mac Pro?

    My G5 PPC died.  The processor went bad.  It would have cost me around 2 grand to fix.  So I just bought a brand new Mac Pro thinking that would be the better investment.  Tried to install Final Cut Studio and it is not supported.  Is this true?  If so - this Mac is going back to apple for a refund and I'll pay the 2 grand to fix the old one.  I can't afford to loose years of past projects.  Not to mention I am in the middle of project and have no way of working on it. Any fix for this?  My trust in Apple low and my years loyalty may have to move to another system.  I thought it was just drama when a college said the end has come for FCP.

    FCP 5, 4.5, 3...no, they will not work on Intel Macs.  FCP 5.1 was the first version to work on those machines.  So if you have FCP 5 or earlier, no, it will not install.  Sorry.  And since FCP as you know it has been discontinued, you can't really upgrade to a later version that will open your projects.  FCX is the new version, and it is very different than FCP was, and cannot open older project files.
    Sorry man...when you hold on to old old software, and get new machines, it won't always work. This is true for any software, on any machine.  FCP 5 is over 6 years old...7!

    You can't open the project directly in an earlier version than the copy of FCP that created it.
    It has to be exported as an XML version 3 file in your case.
    I'm trying to update Final Cut, but it says it does not need the updates for anything prior to 6.0.6
    Which version are you trying to update?
    FCP 6 is a *paid update* from FCP 5.x.x -not free.

  • Final Cut Pro HD (4.5) compatability with Canon HV10

    I got a great deal and read reviews from Mac sources regarding the Canon HV10. There was some question about the camcorder, but as an introduction into the world of HDV, I thought I could work with it for my specific needs and I did get a pretty decent price.
    BUT, iMovie in my OSX Leopard which I just installed recognizes the camera BUT it comes in all bright green and pink even though the playback in the cam looks normal, and Final Cut Pro HD (4.5) just won't see the HV10, even with the HDV/DV cable they require you to purchase.
    Do I have to update Final Cut Pro? Is this something that is just not going to work with the FCP 4.5?
    Any help would be seriously appreciated.
    Thanks so much.
    Rod

    FCP4.5 does not do HDV. You need either iMovie8, FCE 4 or FCStudio 2 for that codec.

  • Is Final Cut Pro HD Production Suite the same as Final Cut Studio?

    I need to get Final Cut Studio 5.1 Universal (for use on my new Intel based Macbook Pro). I currently have Final Cut Pro HD Productions Studio. Is that the same as Final Cut Studio? The cost of upgrading when you currently have studio is $49 as opposed to $199 for upgrading to studio from standalone Final Cut Pro HD. I don't want to have to spend an unecessary $75. It does appear that what I have is the equivalent of Studio, though it doesn't say so on the box.
    Thanks in advance for an answer. I've never used the forum before. If it would be useful to answer offline, my email is [email protected]
    Thanks! Inga

    Welcome to the forum!
    Going from my memory (or lack, thereof), the "Production Suite" included FCP 4, DVD-SP 3, Motion (version 1) and the normally bundled apps; Compressor, SoundTrack, LiveType and Cinema Tools. During the time that the "Production Suite" was available, the main pro apps could also be purchased as individual titles.
    Final Cut Studio includes FCP 5, DVD-SP 4, Motion 2 and the bundled titles; Compressor 2, SoundTrack Pro, LiveType and Cinema Tools. With the introduction of the "Studio" package, Apple discontinued the availability of the individual titles - the package became the ONLY way to get them.
    So while they aren't the same, it's essentially the same concept of marketing all the pro-apps in one package. If you have a license for the Production Studio, the cost to crossgrade should be $199.00 (according to: http://www.apple.com/universal/crossgrade/ ).

  • Final Cut Studio - Sony VTR HVR-M15P

    Can anyone tell me if they have successfully used a Sony HVR-M15P VTR tape deck in Final Cut Studio. On the compatibility list a Sony HVR-M15U is there. Is this the same deck but Pal Version?

    yes I have used the deck to firewire import to FCP on a powerbook G4 1.67Ghz from tapes recorded on sony a1 hdv and a canon MV6i dv cameras with no problems.

  • 7 Hours to Install Final Cut Studio 2??

    I just installed Final Cut studio 2 on my Brand New Mac Pro and it took 7 hours... I installed it on my other Mac Pro back in May and it maybe took maybe an hour. I was just going to ask and see if this was normal or if I should be concerned. I have also put a black magic card in the machine and run into some issues with that as well.
    Thanks for any thoughts you may have.

    Here's the trick you NEED to know.
    Once you know how to do this you will never again need to waste an entire evening inserting DVD's.
    1) Make disk images of all your DVD's using Disk Utility. Be sure to save them as DVD/CD Master in the Image Format dialogue box, with no compression added. Save all the disk images to an external drive if possible. Final Cut Pro users all have big external drives, but in a pinch this would work off an internal drive if you have the space.
    2) Mount all of the DVD copies on your desktop, all of them at one time. This assumes you have ample memory, which if you are running Final Cut Pro you'd better have.
    3) Start the install. Select your options. Then watch the magic as your Mac loads the DVD copies on your desktop until the process is done. It's that easy.
    It takes a while to make the disk images, but once you have them saved to your external drive you can use them again when you get a new machine or need to reinstall for any reason. This works with Logic Studio as well as the Adobe suites- I've used this process for years. In the old days we used this process for floppies; works just as well with CD's and DVD's. Once you try it you will be dedicating an external drive to software installer disk images.
    Cool, or what?

  • Final Cut Studio 2 (FCP 6) on MacBook 1.83 Core 2 Duo

    One (probably very stupid) question:
    Will the just announced Final Cut Studio 2 (and especially Final Cut Pro 6) run on my (pretty darn new) MacBook Core 2 Duo (1.83 Ghz White)?
    And which of its applications just won't run on it? I will be upgrading my MacBook's RAM to 2 GB in the next few days.
    Thanks!

    On Apple's FCS2 site, it says:
    "Minimum Requirements to Install All Final Cut Studio Applications
    A Macintosh computer with a 1.25GHz or faster PowerPC G4, PowerPC G5, Intel Core Duo, or Intel Xeon processor
    1GB of RAM
    An AGP or PCI Express Quartz Extreme graphics card (Final Cut Studio is not compatible with integrated Intel graphics processors)
    A display with 1024-by-768 resolution or higher
    Mac OS X v10.4.9 or later
    QuickTime 7.1.6 or later
    A DVD drive for installation"
    Well, the MacBook seems to have all of these... or does it? What's the graphics card on my MacBook? From looking at my specs, I fear that its graphics are powered by the "Intel GMA 950" (internal) processor.
    So no FCP6 on here for sure, right?

  • Final Cut Studio interface uniformity

    I have a problem with two UI's in Final Cut Studio.
    Interfaces which compete with program material draw away from creative processes IMHO. My main concern is that the brushed-aluminum (or titanium) interface in FCP and Motion visually disrupts my viewing of material.
    My eyes often wonder to the brightest lines-- usually the interface around the material. This becomes a distraction. And with no preferences to change the interface, a constant distraction.
    Color's UI is much more neutral, and doesn't compete with the material like FCP and Motion do.
    IMHO, FCP and Motion need a visually-neutral interface like Color-- easy to look at, not busy or bright. At least, as an option/preference.

    You mean buddamint?
    Yes, that would be what it means where it says "in response to: buddamint." Perhaps you didn't see it because the UI here is so neutral that it didn't compete with the content of my post.
