Final Cut Studio or CS5 Production Premium

I am getting the new basic 13" MBP, and I need to know what suite run faster.
I also want to know what you guys think about *Final Cut Studio vs. Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and AE*, in terms of what is better for semi-pro level editing.

Freud has long been discredited. Additionally, I could care less if you find my post "precisely the problem around here" And, frankly, my concern for your being aggrieved was rhetorical, I could really care less. To be honest, I continue to find the tone of your prose to be arrogant and surreptitiously condescending. As to respondents to my post being posers or NDA-qualified development program participants, I did not prequalify them. Non-anecdotal... all are welcome.

  • Final Cut Studio or Adobe Production Premium Suite - which should we buy?

    Hi all
    Upfront, I'm not trying to start any flame wars here. My design studio is for the first time investing in video hardware and software. Most of the stuff we'll be doing will be for use on the web or DVD.
    I'm not an expert on video so I'm just trying to get some useful opinions on the relative merits of Final Cut Studio and Adobe Production Premium Suite. We're entirely Mac based, so we have the choice of either.
    Any thoughts and recommendations most welcome.
    PS I'll be posting this exact question on the Adobe forums also.

    hey there mpjx,
    since this is an Apple Discussion, i'm inclined to say FCS.... it's less expensive & is complete solution start to finish for movie making, but you may want/need to get After Effects & other Adobe products to work w/ Flash media. however Adobe CS includes After Effects, Illustrator & some other things for working w/ Flash media. so get what may provide the most bang for your budget.... if you don't need everything in Adobe CS, go FCS & get the Adobe products(Illustrator, After Effects, etc...) you want/need as it occurs.
    good luck.

  • Mac Pro - Final Cut Studio 2 - Adobe Production Premium - NO FLASH PLAYING!

    I recently purchased a Mac Pro with Leopard, Final Cut Studio 2, and Adobe Production Premium suite. I got everything setup yesterday, and I exported a Quicktime reference file from Final Cut, and brought it into Flash CS3 Media Encoder. The file seemed to encode fine, but when I try to open it, it shows that the Flash Player opens, but the video never actually opens. I also tired to import the FLV file into Flash Pro, and it acts as though it imports, but it does let me preview it. The ONLY thing that I think could have caused a problem is that I also have Sorenson Squeeze installed, which has its own On2 VP6 encoder. Again, this may have nothing to do with it since I copied the file to another Mac machine that did not have Sorenson on it, and downloaded the standalone Flash Player, and it acted the same. Any ideas on why FLV files would not play back would be greatly appreciated. I have ALL updates installed for OS X Leopard, as well as the CS3 collection. Thanks in advance.

    After downloading an FLV player, and realizing that Adobe Flash Player will not work, all is swimming.

  • Installing Final Cut Studio over old Production Suite upgrade

    My company recently purchased 3 sets of Final Cut Studio. Two of the edit bays just got new first time installs so they worked great but the third bay has my personal verion of production suite wich has been crossgraded to Final Cut Studio. I would like to take mine off and install the company's new Final Cut Studio version. How do I uninstall and change to the new serial numbers? I have read several posts on uninstalling FCP but nothing on DVD Studio, Motion, etc.
    Thanks

    If it was me, and will be soon, I'd gather up all my install discs, serial numbers from other apps etc and rebuild the system from the ground up. It'll take the better part of a day, but you'll be glad you did.

  • Final Cut Studio Vs Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.

    What are the best reasons for purchasing Final Cut Studio over Adobe Premiere Pro CS5?
    Thanks!

    Hi friends i'ven reading your coments and my conclusions are CS5 is faster and has the same features and quality than FCP, i like to ask to Studio X if you know more FCP and you are a pro why? with facts because if i have to buy or say to a friend or client go and use one or another with real facts.
    Example FCP has better color calibration, better final quality, more features or so.
    Another curious thing is that jhon 1 in 2 said is better AVCHD compatibility or handle these are to consistent points that i can undertand as a normal person.
    I can understand a  point if you can say me why FCP is better with examples because i know much of hardware but a little of this software, i can give a big point to a software tha can use mi machine at full capacity because if i spend 10K$ in a computer i'd like a blazing fast one, if not is better to spend only 2.5K$ and wait the same amount of time for the same results.
    Sorry for my english i'm not from USA so my vocabulary is short.

  • Production Suite (Academic) to Final Cut Studio (Retail)

    I am looking to upgrade my Production Suite (Academic) to a Full Version of Final Cut Studio. Since this is really not an upgrade will the full version of Final Cut Studio not recognize my Production Suite and install everything separately? Is there anything that I can do to make my transfer easy and seamless?

    Zachary,
    It sounds like you are asking '"Will the retail version install over the academic without problems?" not, "what's the upgrade purchase path."
    Whether the previous version was academic or retail, best practice would be an erase and install. Most problem installations are those that simply install the new verison over the previous one.
    If you have installed thrid party plug-ins (Nattress, etc.) make sure you have the orignial download - don't worry about saving them from the folders.
    good luck.

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

    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

  • All Final Cut Studio 2 products keep prompting for Serial Number

    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    1) Bought Final Cut Studio 2
    2) Installed it with the provided Serial Number
    3) Registered
    4) Opened each product - was prompted to enter name and serial number
    5) Tried reopening stuff like DVD Studio Pro 4, Final Cut Pro etc.. and am re-prompted with the same blanks to enter name and serial number... this happens even when I restart the computer.
    What gives?

    OK, I just spoke with Apple Care and got it fixed...
    I like when things work this well.
    Here is my simple translation of what he told me
    A) Make sure you have closed all applications.
    1) go to this folder:
    /Library/Application Support/ProApps/
    2) Find any file that has "_SystemID" in the name
    i.e. FinalCut_ProSystemID, DVDStudio_Pro_SystemID
    etc... These are left over from your previous versions.
    DELETE THESE FILES - yes all of them.
    Empty the trash too
    3) Restart Final Cut Pro and enter your Serial Number
    This is nice because now ALL of Studio 2.0 is serialized!
    4) Enjoy Final Cut Studio.
    Here is a more technical version below:

    Troubleshooting serial number issues with professional products
    If you're having difficulty entering a serial number when activating your professional software product, keep these tips in mind:
    * Make sure you are reading from the original serial number label that came with the product.
    * Be sure to enter your first and last name, and verify there are no mistakes in the serial number field.
    * Some numbers and letters look similar, so make sure you don't mistake a zero for the letter O and the number 1 for the letter i or lowercase L.
    * Enter the dashes in the serial number.
    * Make sure there are no spaces before or after the serial number.
    * Make sure that the serial number is valid for the product you're trying to serialize, for example:
    o Soundtrack serial numbers are not valid for serializing Soundtrack Pro
    o Upgrade serial numbers cannot be used with Academic or Not for Resale numbers from a previous version
    * If you've already serialized your application and downloading an update causes it to stop working, try removing your System ID file and enter your serial number again. The System ID file for your product is located in
    /Library/Application Support/ProApps/
    Remove the appropriate file for your product, then launch the application and enter your serial number again.
    Also see the "Installing Your Software" document that is available on the Install disc in the Documentation folder, or as a download from the AppleCare Support manuals page or from these direct links:

  • 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/ ).

  • 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."

  • Adobe CS5  Production Premium vs. Adobe CS4 Production Premium

    Hello:
    I am currently a worker at a production studio and we are thinking about upgrading our system Adobe CS3 Production Premium to either Adobe CS4 Production Premium or Adobe CS5  Production Premium.  Our company was at NAB convention in Las Vegas this year and were convinced that Adobe CS5 Production Premium was the way to go.  However we come to find (after purchace) that Adobe CS5 Production Premium only runs on (and correct me if Im wrong) 64 bit.  Now stuck with a system we cant use on our vista 32 bit I was wondering what are the beneifits between the two and if CS5 is really that great is it worth while to upgrade my computer systems.  I am sure I am not the only one to have run into this problem.  Any input or advice would be great.
    Sincerely,
    Really Confused

    Look HERE for a quick summary of the new features in After Effects. I can personally attest to the power of the new rotobrush. If you do that kind of work, it will save you a ton of time. Rendering times are considerably faster and being able to RAM preview a 30 or 40 second clip all the way through at full res is finally a reality.
    Look HERE for a summary of the new features in Premiere Pro. The major improvement here, in my opinion, is the ability to preview a multi-layer timeline with several effects in real time at full res without rendering.
    I can't tell you if it's worth it to you to upgrade or not. All I can say is that I'm really happy with it, so far.

  • Can Final Cut Studio 3 still be purchased at its original price?

    Hello,
         I am in the process of transferring from Final Cut Pro X to Final Cut Studio 3, but I cannot find a reliable retailer who is selling the applications for their original price ($1000). I am wondering if anybody knows if Apple stills sells Final Cut Studio 3 at its original price of $1000?
    Thanks!

    Shane's right Ian. I've been familiar with every rendition of Premier since it's inception. Versions 1-4 worked, sortof, but not in a manner suitable for broadcast. The first Premier Pro delivered though with the ability to play without having to render everything (which was it's main drawback until then). Premier always carried with it a major stigma as a non-pro product though so was never really taken up by many (if any) in the broadcast industry. I have many friends however who work on training video's for the web and Premier is their only edit software.
    As a specialist freelancer I have to be aware of and experienced in all of the variaties of NLE software. It's interesting to see FCP go back to the stigma 'it' had back before v4HD and how similar it is to the attitudes towards it are to Premier Pro when it first came out. Yes, it is better than previous versions but isn't looked upon as a 'pro' software anymore. My kids certainly prefer FCPX to PremPro or FCP7 (or iMovie for that matter). I can't use it just yet because the Audio tools are just so lacking.
    So, I beleive PremPro has actually been a 'good' app since CS2. But has definitly got better with each one. There's not that much distinction between CS5 and 5.5 so I can't work out what context this commenter states that it is 'now' a good app. They've probably only just become aware of it!

    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.

  • 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.

    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. .
