Final cut studio pro 6 install problems and error message

Purchased a new macbook and am having trouble installing Final Cut Studio Pro 6- get this error message: You can't open the appliction FinalCutStudio.mpkg because PowerPC applications are no longer supported  - have never seen this before, any clues?

The installer requires Rosetta to be present, but Lion doesn't include it anymore. You can try to install Rosetta from a Snow Leopard disc using the "Optional Installs". Note that this is not officially supported: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4769
There have also been reports that Lion will break most plugins for FCS 2 and FCS 3.

  • MacBook Pro will not load Final Cut Studio 2 Install disc?!

    So, this is the first time in all my years as a Mac user that I haven't been able to find info online about a problem I'm having with my machine.
    Firstly, I've never had optical drive issues. Secondly, all other disks I try are still loading and playing perfectly (including other disks in the FCS2 box, e.g. the tutorials).
    BUT when I insert the Final Cut Studio 2 Install disc, the drive sounds like it's trying to load the disc over and over, but it never gets spinning properly. The disc doesn't appear in my finder and after about 30 seconds my MacBook just spits it back out.
    I've restarted, I've closed all other apps etc. but nothing helps.
    Also, this same disc works fine in my parents' 17" MacBook Pro...
    Please someone tell me what the **** is going on

    You have probably already done it but ensure you have updated the OS and Quicktime prior to attempting to instal Final Cut Studio.
    I recently had a hard drive crash and after installing the new hard drive it would not read the OS installation disc. I ended up using an external drive case and installed the OS on the drive from a different Mac Book, then reinstalled the hard drive in the other Mac Book. Then it booted right up. I updated all the original software before attempting to install any additional software.
    Everyone kept saying it wouldn't install due a possibly defective optical drive and I can't say why but it wasn't the drive. As soon as I had the system up and running again the optical drive functioned flawlessly.
    I hope this helps you.

  • My final cut studio keeps giving me this error out of memory message when ever i try to render a piece of footage and its closing unexpected. Does anybody know the reason?

    My final cut studio keeps giving me this error out of memory message when ever i try to render a piece of footage and its closing unexpected. Does anybody know the reason?

    I had this problem about 2 months ago and, as others have suggested in this thread, eventually traed it backed to some stills I had scanned and brought into the project.  Accidentally I had changed the scanner settings, with the result that a couple of skills were well beyond 1980 x 1020 pixels.  I resampled the stills and everything was fine again.  Hope this might help.

  • I have an academic version of Final Cut Studio on my laptop and recently purchased the most recent Full version of Final Cut Studio. Do I need to uninstall the academic version before installing the new version?

    I have an academic version of Final Cut Studio on my laptop and recently purchased the most recent Full version of Final Cut Studio. Do I need to uninstall the academic version before installing the new version? I ask because this is not an upgrade, but a completely new version.

    I'm with Jim on this.  It always seems to work out better if you do not install over another version.  You can use this app (freeware - thanks to Jon Chappel) to completely remove ALL Final Cut Studio apps and components: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
    Once that's done, install your newly purchased version.

  • Avid Hardware and Final Cut Studio Pro

    Is it possible to couple Avid Hardware, for instance Avid Mojo, with Final Cut Studio Pro?
    I find video editing on my Powerbook slow and tedious. I have intermitten access to a Powermac G5 Dual Ghz, but it only cuts the time by half which however doesn't equal realtime.
    What is possible?
    - Anthony

    YOu just need to know how to use it properly. Having to render all the time means that your clip settings and sequence settings don't match, or you are using a codec that is not realtime. There are plenty of codecs that are (including DV, DVCPRO HD, HDV) as long as you captured the footage properly with FCP. I come from an Avid background and find FCP very slick.
    Where are you getting this footage?

  • FINAL CUT STUDIO PRO - CAN'T GET "SMOOTHCAM" EFFECT

    PROBLEM:
    FINAL CUT STUDIO PRO - CAN’T GET “SMOOTHCAM” EFFECT
    I use a Macbook Pro 17”
    Software: Leopard 10.5. External LaCie Hard Drive 1TB
    I upgraded my Computer Software to Leopard and reinstalled Final Cut Pro and Motion on my Laptop. It worked fine with SmoothCam, but as I had lost too much space on my Laptop Harddrive, I decided to reinstall the full program, choosing custom location the external LaCie drive.
    Since than Final Cut Pro can’t find SmoothCam and it asks to reinstall SmoothCam.
    ➢ ./library/Plug-Ins/FX /Plug< Not Existing
    ➢ ./library-Application Support/ProApps/Internal Plug-Ins/FX Plug<
    This file is empty.
    My project I work on at the moment is a film, where I had done a lot of SmoothCams, but since reinstalling it will not find the effect anymore, it asks to reinstall SmoothCam.
    In the mean time I tried several times to start from scratch and reinstall the whole Program, but now I’m not even able to register anymore, it will not accept the correct Registration No.
    I would appreciate anybodies help very much.

    I had a similar problem when I upgraded my MacBook Pro to leopard as well. This is what I did (after several trial and errors)...
    1.) Wipe the computer again and reinstall leopard. I suggest doing a custom install and just leave out things you do not need as they just take up valuable space.
    2.) Reinstall FCS but DO NOT let it install the additional content as we will get to that part later. Just install the core programs themselves and uncheck the boxes to install the additional content.
    3.) After FCS is installed re-run the installer and install the content but change the location to your external drive. At this point I created a folder on my external called "Final Cut Studio" and Created separate folders for each program and its content.
    4.) After you have reinstalled the content on to your external drive, go into each program and point them to where the extra content is kept. <--- This step and step 3 arent really needed, but they make things easy for when you have to wipe your computer. This has saved me LOTS of time on reinstalling FCP because now all you have to do is install the core programs from now on.
    You once you start FCP all your effects should be there. The main thing here is to do a complete wipe of the system and rebuild. Not just an uninstall / re-install. As far as your registration problem your going to have to call apple. I had a problem with an old serial number where it would not take it anymore after updating the software to 6.0.2 from 6.0. They can give you a new number to use and it does not take too long.
    Hope that helps you out some.

  • Trying to install update and error message says older version of itunes cannot be removed

    trying to install update and error message says older version cannot be removed

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    I contacted apple and they checked and yes the originsl ipad cant support ios 6 - so cant use procreate have also checked the procreate website and it appears they advised itunes of this - ideally there should end up being two versions of procreate - one for ios 5 and one for ios 6 -
    dont want to sell the current ipad and get another - at this stage - for the amount of usage it gets not worth the expense
    thanks

  • 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:

    Be sure to follow the August 2012 comment for the remaining FCS2 disks for this second method.

  • Final Cut Studio Pro 2 Install - Skip Final Cut Pro itself - TT_NEWALREADYI

    Dear All,
    I hope you can help. I have just bought a new Macbook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4GB RAM, with OS X 10.4.10 running. It came with iLife 08.
    I installed Logic Studio 8 (which was successful), and have been trying to install my copy of Final Cut Studio 2. When I run the installation, the options appear for custom install, but FInal Cut Pro, Compressor and QMaster are greyed out, and the action identified for them is "skip. If I rest the mouse over any of the options the text TT_NEWERALREADYINSTALLED appears.
    I have tried uninstalling the Logic Studio components with AppZapper, and retrying the install of Final Cut Studio, but no matter what I try to do, it won't install Final Cut Pro.
    Can anybody help?
    Kind Regards,
    Nick.

  • 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! 

  • Final Cut Studio Crash - Just Purchased and Installed - Crashes Immediately

    Just installed Final Cut Studio (1).
    Crashes immediately after open.
    Please help.
    I can provide report (code) if someone that can help needs to see it.
    Thanks,
    Dan

    It is Snow Leopard. Don't run SL with your version of FCP. So what this means you have to do is back up all your files, erase the hard drive, install the Leopard OS from scratch (10.5), then fully update, then install FCS, and fully update. And stay there.
    If your FCS is an older FCS, you can't run the latest OS, typically.

  • Final Cut Studio 3 installation problem

    Working on my Mac Pro 1,1 and I'm habing rouble re-installing Final Cut Studio 3 on it. 
    Here's the background:  I've hesiated updating the OS beyond 10.5 so that I could keep using a legacy copy of ProTools LE.  Recently, I decided to add a new hard drive to one of the open bays so that I could have a 10.7.5 startup disc for most applications, and I could simply rebppt in 10.5 when I need to.  everything went smootly until I tried to re-install FCS-3. 
    The installation keeps hanging up whenever I try to install any components that need content (i.e. DVD Studio Pro, Sound Track, etc...).  As a test, I did an install of just FCP (and default Compressor) and that seemed to be OK.  Once installed, I thought I'd try to add one compnent at a time - so I started with DVD Studio Pro. 
    Just as had happed when I tried to do a full install, it failed.  I got an error message that
    "the installer encountered a problem and that I needed to contact the software manufacturer"
    So far, I've tried with both DVD Studio Pro and Sound Track with the same result.  It seems to go through the entire process of copying over files on the content disc before it fails.  On the DVD-SP as soon as it ejects the one (and only) content disc, I get the error.  On SoundTrack, it seems to take all the data from disc 1 (of 3) then it askes for disc 2.  As soon as i put it in and it tries to read it, the the install fails and I get the same error as I listed above. 
    Anybody have am idea of what might be happening?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Have a look in disc utility and see how your drive is formatted.
    It should be Mac OS extended.
