Final Cut Studio on Mavericks?

Hello everyone, I just bought a new MacBook Pro and have Mavericks OS 10.9.2 installed.  I also have a copy of Final Cut Studio 2.  I want to install Final Cut on my computer, but it gives me the error message: "You can't open the application "FinalCutStudio.mpkg" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported" I would like to install it.  How can I?

Use Pacifist:

Or following Jeremy Johnstone's instructions regarding the use of Terminal:

  • Final cut studio and mavericks

    Is there a version of Final Cut Studio (I only need Finaul Cut Pto (and essential software to make it work) which will function with Mavericks?
    I am too old to change again how to do things and unfortunately I need some software which only works with the latest systems.
    Many of my plug in require vast ampunt of money to work with The new FinalCut, and frankly I don't like the video editing philosophy behind it. Is my opnion but it plays a role in my request,
    I hope someone will give me some hints. Else I need to switch from one Disk in my Mac Pro with Snow Leopard to the other with Mavericks ... and is a great waste of time.
    Thanks to everyone if there is a suggestion, and super thanks to the ones who will not suggest me why don't I learn the great new things, In that case the reply is here: I edited all my life with flatbed mechanical hardware: we had up to 7 screens to choose our takes from. I moved happily to digital, but editing is about giving tempo to the best take, and later to work on sound and effects. at 70 I learned already whatever I need to learn and I do not want to look at any manual anymore.
    Thanks

    There are copious amount of posts explainging this in depth in the discussion, its asked a number of times each day. So rather than add to the confusion, read the replies from the guys who are long time FCP 7 users and are running Mavericks and when you have a specific question, post back.

  • Final Cut studio 2.0.1 sur Mavericks

    I have Final cut studio 2.O.1 installed sur un iMac system OSX.5.8 and I want to install it on a MacBookPro with OS 1.9.2 (Mavericks).
    Is it possible ?

    It will not install directly. You will have to find a work around (plenty of them posted here on the forum.)

  • Will Final Cut Studio 3 work with OSX Mavericks?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know if Final Cut Studio 3 will work with the New OSX Mavericks when it's released this fall?
    Thanks in advance

    If you have the snow leopard install disk, you can do a custom install and just install rosetta. 
    One person on this forum, says there are serious issues with this workflow and links to another method.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/22029476#22029476
    I've done it a few times without any issues, and I haven't seen any definitive reports detailing the problems with this. 
    Doing a complete clean install is the much safer way to have a dependable system.  Here's a user tip on OS and FCP installation
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2861
    I'd also recommend creating a bootable clone of your startup drive before doing any os upgrades or application installations or upgrades.  That way if things go south, you can easily return to the previous working system.

  • Can I use Final Cut Studio 2 software on a MacBook Air?

    My old MacBook Pro was stolen a couple of years ago and I replaced it with a MacBook Air OSX 10.9.5. I still have the software from Final Cut Studio 2  which I used on my MacBook Pro. I haven't got around the replacing this and was looking at the Final Cut App when it dawned on me I might be able to use the software I have. Any thoughts? I know nothing about how computers work, so a simple 'No', 'Yes' or 'Do this to make it work', would be great!

    I think the gist of what the two former responders are saying is that, if you can upgrade to software that will run natively in Yosemite, then you are seemingly much better off!
    I am not a film editor (although I play one on my computer! hahahaha) but I have been told by many FCS2 users that they need ongoing access to it because of clients who ask for editorial updates to older projects.  My understanding is that Final Cut Pro X will NOT open the FCS2 files for processing.  Hence a valid reason to be able to install and operate FCS2 on today's modern Macs.
    There are three methods to install and operate FCS2 in Mavericks; I have no confirmation yet that these work in Yosemite, or if once installed in Yosemite, FCS2 will operate properly.  Here is a recent post I prepared to provide this information:
    Apple has created a "bug" in the attempt to install FCP6 in Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks, which makes it look like Rosetta is needed for a PowerPC app, the installer, so as to make it difficult for the use of FCP6 in these versions of OS X!  There are three ways to install it:
    1.  Pacifist https://www.charlessoft.com/
    2.  Jeremy Johnstone's Terminal method http://www.jeremyjohnstone.com/blog/2012-03-11-installing-final-cut-pro-studio-2 -0-on-mac-os-x-10-7-lion.html
    3.  HawaiianHippie has discovered the best and safest possible solution to this problem:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/26309669?ac_cid=tw123456#26309669
    I have now successfully done this on four computers, brand new iMacs running 10.9.4.  And I've discovered an even easier way to do this!  You don't need to edit the plist file, just move it into the Trash.  Install proceeds normally.  You can return it after you're done if you like, I don't know what (if any) possible repercussions might come from leaving it deleted.
    The file, as indicated on Jeremy Johnstone's blog, is
    /System/Library/CoreServices/Installer.app/Contents/Resources/PPCRequirements.pl ist
    (Note that when you get to Installer.app, you will have to Control+click and select "Show Package Contents")
    I have not, as yet, attempted to recreate his success.

  • Can't Install Final Cut Studio V3.0

    Hi,
    I'm currently using a mid-2009 13-inch Macbook Pro running OS X Mavericks 10.9.1. I'm trying to install a retail verison of Final Cut Studio V3.0 that has 2 installs left, but my Macbook ejects the first installation disk about a minute after I put it in.
    Does anyone know why the installation disk isn't being recognized?

    Here's a user tip on installing fcp
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2861
    In particular, there's a link to this
    http://www.secondchairvideo.com/?cat=28
    which details a method in which you create disk images of all the dvd's.  Works great.

  • How to install final cut studio on yosemite?

    Guys,
    Before I start my next video project, I want to do a clean install of Yosemite and also a clean install of Final Cut Studio with FCP 7. I'm running a Mac Pro, 2.26 quad core (2009).
    What's the best way to do this?
    I know some people have had problems installing FCP7 on Yosemite. Just to play it safe, I'm currently partitioning my drive and will install a boot version of Yosemite to try the FCS install on. If all goes well, I'll totally wipe the drive and install Yosemite.
    If things don't work out, I'll wipe the partition and stick to Mavericks.

    Insert the DVD.
    Click on the installer package.
    Follow the on screem instructions.

  • Trying to install Final Cut Studio/Pro that was on my old Mac Pro.  Have old disks and upgrade but need to know the install sequence.

    My old Mac drive died and bought a Air.  Trying to install Final Cut but bumping into error on trying to install Studio.  I have an upgrade to Pro but I have been told that I need to install Studio first.  I have all the original disks.

    Final Cut Studio 2 has a "bug" in the installer program that results in the "PowerPC" dialog box.
    There are two alternative methods to install into Mavericks:
    Use Pacifist:
    http://www.charlessoft.com/
    Use Jeremy Johnstone's Terminal method:
    http://www.jeremyjohnstone.com/blog/2012-03-11-installing-final-cut-pro-studio-2 -0-on-mac-os-x-10-7-lion.html
    Be sure to follow the August 2012 comment for the remaining FCS2 disks for this second method.

  • Serial Number issues when installing Final Cut Studio upgrade

    I am trying to install iDVD from my Final Cut Studio V3.0 Upgrade on my new Mac Pro (Late 2013). I put the Serial Number that came with the upgrade in and then it requests the serial number from my original Final Cut Studio. It says the original serial number is invalid.
    I am running Mavericks 10.9.4. There are no other computers on my network.  I've done the usual things, repair permission and a restart with no joy.
    What am I doing wrong.
    Thanks,

  • Final Cut Studio 2: Requirements and Recommendations

    Hello Final Cut Studio 2 Experts,
    I'm considering purchasing Final Cut Studi 2, and to make sure that I'll benefit from the full range of specific application (FCS/motion/color...) and I'd like to ask few questions (5 main points) regarding requirements and recommendations. So, please be prepared for much reading as I am not an expert on the matter. I like to know if my computer accepts any further hardware parts highly recommended and if I can purchase and install them myself.

    SORRY, BUT MY PREVIOUS POSTING DIDN'T HAVE THE FULL LIST OF HARDWARE CONTENTS of my Power Mac G5.
    Hello Final Cut Studio 2 Experts,
    I'm considering purchasing Final Cut Studi 2, and to make sure that I'll benefit from the full range of specific application (FCS/motion/color...) and I'd like to ask few questions (5 main points) regarding requirements and recommendations. So, please be prepared for much reading as I am not an expert on the matter. I like to know if my computer accepts any further hardware parts highly recommended and if I can purchase and install them myself. And yes, you should also know that I intend to use a Panasonic multi-format (HD/SD) camera for capturing and exporting videos.
    N.B. Please note that the full list of my Hardware contents appear at the bottom of this text.
    THANKS IN ADVANCE for your expert advise!
    So, here we go:
    Application-Specific Requirements
    Final Cut Studio
    Capturing HD resolution video using the ProRes 422 format requires a Mac Pro with an Intel Xeon processor or a G5 Quad computer and a qualified third-party capture card.
    1) Do I need an Intel Xeon processor? If yes, can I purchase and install the component by myself (like RAM)?
    Motion
    The standard graphics card in any Mac Pro, MacBook Pro, iMac with Intel Core Duo, Power Mac G5, or iMac G5; 1.25GHz or faster PowerBook G4; or 1.25GHz or faster flat-panel iMac:
    ATI Radeon 9800, 9700 Pro, 9600 XT, or 9600 Pro
    ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 or 9600
    NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT, 7300 GT, 6600, 6600 LE, FX Go5200, or FX 5200 Ultra
    For 16- and 32-bit rendering: a graphics card with at least 128MB of VRAM
    2) Do I need one of the ATI Radeon 9800, 9700... or ATI Mobility Radeon? Why does my Hardware contents say ATI Radeon 9600, and not ATI Mobility Radeon 9600, is there a difference?
    Color
    The standard graphics card in any Mac Pro, 17-inch MacBook Pro, 24-inch iMac with Intel Core Duo, or 2.5GHz or faster Power Mac G5 Quad:
    ATI Mobility Radeon X1600
    ATI Radeon X1600
    NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT, 7600 GT, 7300 GT, 6600, or Quadro FX 4500
    A display with 1680-by-1050 resolution or higher
    A three-button mouse for full functionality
    3) Do I need and ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 or ATI Radeon X1600?
    DVD Studio Pro
    For playback of DVD Studio Pro 4-authored HD DVDs: a Macintosh computer with a PowerPC G5 or Intel Core Duo processor
    For writing finished projects to disc: an Apple SuperDrive or other DVD recorder
    For writing finished projects to a double-layer disc: a double-layer-compatible recorder and double-layer media
    For transporting HD projects to a replicator: an external drive or Internet transfer of the project’s disk image
    For transporting SD projects that contain copy-protection or dual-layer features to a replicator: a DLT drive, external drive, or Internet transfer of the project’s disk image
    4) Do I have an Intel Core Duo processor? Do I need an Apple SuperDrive?
    What is a "replicator"?
    Application-Specific Recommendations
    Motion
    One of the following graphics cards is highly recommended:
    ATI Radeon X1900 XT, X850 XT, X800 XT, or X1600
    NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT, 6800 Ultra DDL, 6800 GT DDL, or Quadro FX 4500
    For 32-bit rendering: a graphics card with 256MB of VRAM or more
    Color
    The following graphics card is highly recommended:
    ATI Radeon X1900 XT
    Dual displays with 1920-by-1200 or higher resolution
    5) Do I have one of the highly recommended cards ATI Radeon X1900 XT etc...? How do I get it and can I install it myself?

  • The difference between Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Studio 2

    I'm looking at buying FCP. Can I buy Final Cut Studio 2 to get FCP or is that only a Upgrade and where would i buy it. How do I go about buying FCP and how much is it

    Final Cut Pro v6 is only available as a component within Final Cut Studio 2.
    What it is, what is included and how to purchase it is spelled out here:

  • Wont let me open final cut studio-missing hardware

    when i try to open final cut studio a message comes up saying missing hardware 512mb ram, but i have this on my computer.
    do i need more ram?
    what will make it work?
    any help would be greatfully appreciated

    Welcome to the forums.
    Yes, you need more RAM. FCP needs MINIMUM 512 MB Ram, and your system right now is taking up half of what you have. 1.5GB is the min RAM I recommend for running FCP. 2.5GB to be comfortable...3.5GB to be stylin'.

  • Why Can't I Install Final Cut Studio?

    I have a MacBook Pro which is about 12 months old. It has a 2.66GHz Intel Core i7 Processor and 8G of RAM. I have been trying to install Final Cut Studio 5.1. Yeah I know that is an OLLLLLLLLLLLD version. Why I chose not to update is neither here nor there. I was about to update when Final Cut Pro X was realeaded and FCS vanished into the ether. I really only wanted DVD Pro but when that wouldn't install I went back to Square 1.
    The specificationa as stated are:- "These discs contain the files required to install Final Cut Studio 5.1 on either PPC or Intel based Mac computers."
    The error message that shows up on the screen when I click on the install package is:- "You can't open the application Final Cut Studio pro.mpkg because Power PC applucations are no longer supported."
    This is despite the stated specifications and the fact that there is a Universal Icon on the discs.
    I am also having a simillar but not the same problem with iLife '06 but i'll start another thread on that.
    I'm confused, thanks for your help in advance.

    Your problem is you are running Lion as your OS (10.7) and Lion does not support Rosetta which is required to run the INSTALLER of FCS 2. If you were running Snow Leopard, you would have been able to do the install.

  • Final Cut Studio license invalid after upgrading to Leopard?

    Hello,
    After upgrading to Leopard 10.5.1, Final Cut Studio v5.1.4 and its companion apps like DVD Studio 4 do not recognize my FC Studio License as valid. I input the license key and it says:
    "Licensing Error
    This application cannot continue because the licensing data is corrupt."
    I am a licensed user via the FC Studio Crossgrade since 2006 and all has been fine with Tiger before Leopard.
    I have used Disk Utility to "repair permissions". I have removed the FC files from the Preferences folder to give it a clean start.
    PERHAPS A HINT?:
    So I tried to re-install FC Studio 5.1 from the FC Install DVD and I get this message after inputting the key:
    "Alert
    Licensing Error: The license file will not be written to disk because the user does not have enough privileges."
    I have Administrator privileges on this account and I even tried to install it as 'root' and the same error occurs.
    Is there a file that I need to change permissions on?
    THANKS for any help here! And happy holidays.
    Bonafide

    Hi,
    Unfortunately there is also an issue with installing FCS2 on a brand new installation with Leopard and this licensing error.
    "Alert Licensing Error: The license file will not be written to disk because the user does not have enough privileges."
    This also occurs, apparently, that if you are logged in with an Active Directory user with Admin privileges it still will not let you install the product keys.
    This is much the same as a problem with Adobe CS3 products, only the updates work when you are logged in with a local admin - not an Active Directory Admin.
    Both these problems are really really annoying for those on corporate networks - such as myself.
    For my problem, I had to log out as my AD account, login as a local admin and then install the software. .

  • "Motion 4" icon greyed out after upgrading to Yosemite - Did Yosemite break "Motion 4" in Final Cut Studio?

    Against my better judgement (now that Apple has turned into Microsoft 10 years ago, breaking apps with every OS update, followed by radio silence from Apple, pretending like they didn't do anything), I just upgraded from Mountain Lion to Yosemite and noticed that my Motion 4 icon is now greyed out. Thanks Apple.
    I still do the majority of my work in Final Cut Pro 7, with many, many, Motion 4 projects embedded in the timeline (so that I can change them in Motion and have them seamlessly updated in my Final Cut Pro project), including an unfinished feature length documentary on gay and lesbian history from 2000 BC until 1900 AD. Should I just throw the entire film into the rubbish bin? I would presume that Motion 5.1.2 is incompatible with Final Cut 7? So what am I supposed to do now?
    1 - Downgrade to Mountain Lion (or heck, why not Snow Leopard?)?
    2 - Switch to Adobe Premiere?
    3 - All of the above?
    Thanks (for nothing, Apple).

    After some peacefull time my system crashed completely on Friday!
    I installed all from Scratch to make sure its not some old stuff that I carried on during migration.
    It's not a problem with the motion files as I deleted all of them and XML export is still crashing!
    The situation is, that after installing it all I got the same quicktime translation error again and I am quite angry about how Apple handles clients who are working on projects with the recent FCP story.
    Unfortunately due to the problems in exporting XML I am not even able to switch to Adobe Premier as this is the only way to import there.
    After a lot of testing I am quite sure, that this issue has to do something with an Apple Update release between June 2011 and now.
    Conclusion: Final Cut Studio II is not working correctly anymore as it did before June 2011!!! Apple, Please fix this issue asap.!!!!
