Final Cut Studio and Final Cut Studio 2

At work, we have a Mac Pro running Final Cut Studio (original) and recently acquired a G5 and would like to purchase Studio 2 for it. Are Studio 2 projects compatible in any way with Final Cut Studio? Are there any compatibility packs for this?

FCP projects are not backwards compatible so a project created in FCP 6 will not work on FCP 5.
The workaround is using [XML exports|http://developer.apple.com/appleapplications/fcpxml.html].

  • Final Cut Event and Final Cut Project

    I am in the process of trying to clean up one space. While doing this I noticed the I have a Final Cut Project and Final Cut event  of the same name as you can see below in the screen shot below. Is the event part of the project. The project was created prior to my upgrade to Yosemite.
    Everything was created in Final Cut Pro X

    Hi. Please take a look at this Apple support doc. – particularly the two sections, "is media duplicated…" and "Can I delete…"
    In short, removing the folders will remove clutter, but any additional space savings will be small.

    I'm relatively new to FCE myself, so I'll answer with what I know. I'm sure the more experienced folks will either add to or correct what I say.
    1) For the Inconvenient Truth thing, I believe this would best be done in LiveType, which does allow you to do animations, and to work on individual letters and characters. Whether or not it could exactly reproduce the effects in the clip, I'm not certain, but I'm sure it could come very close.
    2) For the Crowd or the Cross effects, there are two things going on at once: effects on the text, and effects on the video. My gut feeling is that both FCE and LiveType can do these, with lots of work and patience, but I'll defer to other people to answer.
    3) The page peel is a transition built into FCE.

  • Compatibility issues with Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro

    I'm getting ready to edit a project and I was wondering if there are any compatibility issues with Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro. I've never used Express put I assume I would be able to make cuts, simple effects and titles. Is this correct.
    If I transfer project files from one platform to the other will i run into any issues?
    Thanks for all and any help.

    Although they operate in a similar fashion that are not fully compatible. You can open a FCE project in FCP, but once you've edited it in FCP you can't go back to FCE.

  • Installing and Using Logic Studio and Final Cut Studio 2 On the Same iMac

    In March of this year, I switched from being a long-time user of PC's to a 24 in. 2.4 GHZ iMac. In late May I purchased Final Cut Studio 2 and Aperture and have greatly enjoyed using both of these applications on my iMac. Both run with no problems under Leopard which I installed shortly after it came out. I am now considering the purchase of Logic Studio since I have enjoyed midi sequencing and audio editing for years on my PC's but wish now to do this on my iMac.
    I note that two of the applications included in Logic Studio (Soundtrack Pro 2 and Compressor 3) are a part of the Final Cut Studio 2 suite of programs that I already have installed on my iMac. How will Logic Studio handle this issue when I run the install of that software, i.e. will it be aware that I already have Soundtrack Pro 2 and Compressor 3 and just have those install options grayed out or will it overwrite my FCS2 installation of those two applications? Are there other issues or conflicts between Aperture or Final Cut Studio 2 applications and Logic Studio that I should know before installing Logic Studio?
    Thank you very much in advance for responding, and I look forward to reading this forum from this point onward.
    Tom

    Thanks again for your prompt responses, blayzay. I look forward to getting and installing Logic Studio. If anyone has any precautions on using it with FCS2 or with Leopard, please add a comment to this thread.

  • Is there a difference between final cut studio and final cut studio upgrade

    i wish to buy final cut studio and was going to buy from the apple store but they recently stopped selling i have found on amazon two final cut studios one call final cut studio and the other called final cut studio upgrade the upgrade one is cheaper so this makes me think is this just like an expansion and do i need the original but both have the same pictures, descriptions and specs so are they the same thing just with different names or what? please help

    Final Cut Studio is the full install...where the UPGRADE means that it requires you to have a previous version.  It is cheaper because it only works if you have a previous version.

  • IR Studio and Dashboard Architect & Studio in Citrix

    Has anyone gotten IR Studio and Dashboard Architect & Studio to work in Citrix. I'm working with our Citrix Admin to get these studios running. IR Studio works but I get errors when launching Dashboard Architect and Dashboard Studio. The error says IR Studio library is installed incorrectly or could not be found. Make sure IR Studio have been opened at least once.
    I've already opened IR Studio and a bqy. IR Studio is fine.
    If I click OK I get an Installation Diagnostics form that is supposed to 'help you fix a broken installation of IR Studio'. I can't find any documentation on this. The top half contains the IR Studio Application File Path. There are 3 items: Association Path (which has the full path to birioqry.exe; this path exists), IR Studio Exe Path: [not found] and IR Studio Exe Release: [not found]. There are 2 buttons - Locate Application File and Fix File Association. I can fix this part with the Locate Application File button.
    The lower half contains IR Studio Type Library items. Four of them have no registry entry. The 5th could not load.
    This seems to be an issue with profiles and the registry. How do I get this to update the registry correctly so that these apps will work? And how do we set this up so that it will work for everyone who logs into this Citrix environment?
    Thanks.
    Jerry

    This is documented well in the installation documents.

  • Final cut Studio and Final Cut Pro X on same computer?

    I recently downloaded and installed FCP X but then had 2nd thoughts when it asked to set events.
    Has anyone used both FCP 7 (& other FC Studio apps) on the same computer as FXP X without problems?
    Thanks in advance.

    I see that Apple recommends installing FCP X on a separate partition. I didn't, and am now wondering if I should uninstall/partition/reinstall.
    How did you handle?
    Thanks

  • Is it possible to load Final Cut X and Final Cut 7 on the same macbook pro?

    I already have Final Cut X on my MacBook Pro and I tried to load Final Cut 7 on there and after it said install complete I checked and it was not in my applications but the peripheral applications were. Is it possible to load them both on the same mac?

    You must install Final Cut Studio first, run all updates and then you can install FCP X.
    Go to digitalrebellion.com, get a free copy of FCS Remover and use it to uninstall FCP X.
    You can then install FCS and download FCP X again -the AppStore knows that you already paid for it.
    FCS will be moved to its own sub-folder in Applications.

  • Moving project between Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro back and forth

    We are buying new Macs to our studio. One will be main editing suite with Final Cut Studio 2.
    Another Mac mini will have Final Cut Express.
    I do understand that you cannot open your FCE project in FCS, but can you do it the other way around, using the Mac Mini as "offline suite"?

    OK, so far, soo good. But can I open a FCP project in FCE?
    (Scenario: I start working in FCE, continue in FCP and return to FCE).
    I understand if some effects, etc won't show up in FCE.

  • Can i install final cut 4 and final cut 5 on the same machine ?

    hi
    i currently use fcp 5.14 on my g5 dual 2.3 (pci-x). i am starting to teach fcp at a college where they use fcp 4.5.
    i know that i wont be able to prepare assignments for the students on fcp 5 'cause they wont be able to open them up on 4.5.
    the system admin at the college gave me a copy of fcp 4 to install on my machine to sit next to my fcp 5.
    my question is, can it be done ?
    can 2 different versions of fcp exist on my machine without problems ?
    do i need to install fcp 4 on a separate drive so it wont conflict with 5 ?
    any thoughts on that ?
    thank you very much..,
    nir

    It can be done with a dual boot setup. I'll not speak to whether it should be done, other than to say it works for us.

    We had to keep FCHD4.5 for awhile, so I archived 10.3.9, wiped the drive, partitioned it and re-installed 10.3.9 on one and 10.4 on another partition.
    Then simply boot from different startup disk, depending on which OS you need to work on."<<

  • Final cut express and Final Cut Pro coexistance

    I heard that FC express HD destroys the ability to export to tape in iMovie HD. Is that true?
    If it is Will FCP HD do the same thing?
    Will Express and FCP remain toatlly functional if I have them both installed.
    My grandson likes to make movies in iMovie and I dont' want to discourage him, but I like to learn new things.

    That was with iMovie4 (and 3) only. Doesn't happen with iMovieHD. See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93804
    I don't know about having FCE and FCP installed together though.

  • Logic Studio 2 and Final Cut Studio 2...will they play ball?

    I just bought Logic Pro Studio2 and it will not allow me to install STP3 and Compressor 3.5 because of my current copy of FCP Studio 2 that is installed onto the same machine.
    What is the work around for this? It would be nice to be able to use the newer software. Could I just uninstall STP2 and Compressor 3 and then attempt the install again with Logic Studio 2 and let it do its thing?
    Thanks guys in advance.

    Hello and welcome to the forum.
    Final Cut Studio is a suite of applications for many video-related tasks. The video editing component of FCS is Final Cut Pro. The main differences between Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Express are FCP's ability to handle natively many different types of media (particular HD) and its media manager and color correction tools.
    Final Cut Express is functionally similar to FCP, but works with a limited range of video formats, resolutions, etc. Working in FCE is excellent preparation for an eventual move to FCP if your needs grow, but many people find that FCE fulfills their needs at a fraction of the price.
