Final Cut Studio update and FCPX

So I've not noticed until now, but I now have a need for it. I need to update my Final Cut Studio 3 to the latest Pro App update. I have an editing gig that is requiring me to use FCP7 but I recently installed it to my new Macbook Pro and it's really unstable. I've had it crash on me way too many times.
However, I have FCPX on my laptop as well. When I tried updating the Studio using the Pro Apps, update, it said it installed, but when I check the versions, it made no changes! So I'm wondering how I can actually update my Final Cut Studio 3 suite while I still have the FCPx and new Motion and Compressor installed on the same computer....
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
-Justin

ML should have no effect as I have both versions installed with no problems.
Which app are you trying to update?
You should use Software Update for FCS 3
What version have you got?

  • Final Cut Studio 2 and Logic Studio on MacBook

    I have a white MacBook bought in late 2008. It has a 2.1 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor w/ 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
    My question is: has anyone run Final Cut Studio 2 and/or Logic Pro with these specs? And how was it?
    I was told performance would be weak. I was also told nothing could be done to improve the performance other than buy a MacPro or at the very least get a MacBookPro. I have no reason NOT to believe this but I am interested in a second opinion.

    Hi there,
    Ignore the other posts, both run absolutely fine on a macbook! I use final cut studio 2 on a white macbook and so do about 10 of my friends almost without problem. Final cut works perfectly, dvd sp works perfectly, motion works perfectly, soundtrackpro works perfectly! the only problem i ever had was rendering with 'color', none of my other friends grade their videos so they have no problems at all. Are you going to do any grading?
    I believe the macbook is not officially supported though, so I don't think you'll be able to get help from apple if there's any problem solving to be done. I've been using FCP and FCS for years now though and have honestly never had a problem I couldn't solve myself
    Logic also runs amazingly well too.
    hope that helps

  • Final Cut Studio 2 and Canon hv20

    I'm currently working on Final Cut Studio 2 and I'm looking at buying a Canon HV20. I've looked into some threads on this one and it seems that people are having trouble with this camera on FC Studio 2. Is there anyone out there that can attest to smooth and efficient workflow with this set up? A major selling point for me is the 24p, tell me it works well, please tell me it works well.
    thank you,
    t r e y v o n

    HV20 works perfectly at 24p in FCP 6.0.2.
    Added advantage is that you can capture uncompressed (with HDMI card and fast drive/RAID) at much higher quality and resolution than HDV.
    Quality is so good, you can create great 1920 x 1080 24p green screen shots (using 4:2:2 color space from HDMI) and dvMatte Pro 3.
    The next step up to get better quality at 24p is around $5K-$6K range (I think?).
    Here's a small image of a 24p frame shot on green screen with the HV20:

  • Final cut studio 2 and macbook pro 17?

    I'm anxious to purchase Final Cut Studio 2, and a new MacBook Pro 17" laptop. Is FCS2 and this laptop 100% compatible? Will I be able to install and run FCS2 on this laptop successfully?
    Laptop specs:
    MacBook Pro 17" Notebook 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 3 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, TI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics processor, dual -ink DVI support, 256MB of GDDR3 SDRAM, external 500G hard drive for video storage (firewire 800).
    MacBook Pro 17"   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Well those that have tried running FCS 2 on a 17" laptop can't talk. It's not released yet...
    However there is no reason why it shouldn't work well. Add an Io HD to the mix, and you'll edit HD on it all day long... we were showing this in the AJA booth at NAB a couple of weeks ago. Apple was running it too on laptops in their booth...
    Figure it should be fine. With the advent of Pro Res, there's little you couldn't edit on a MBP... however there are some things you'll not be editing with it, such as 2 k files, or uncompressed HD. Pro res takes care of that though. It's really visually lossless.

  • Final Cut Studio 2 and avc-intra

    I am using Final Cut Studio 2 and am having trouble with .mxf files. I downloaded the avc-intra decoder drive from Panasonics site and a majority of the files ended 3/4 of the way through with sever audio noise at the end. I sent the drive back to the cameraman to see if he had better luck, turns out he did... Though I saw that he was using Final Cut Studio 3 and the quicktime files he provided back were formatted as AVC-Intra 100M...which is neither playable in quicktime or editable in Final Cut Studio 2.
    What am I missing? Time to upgrade? What can I do in the meantime.
    Thanks for the ideas!

    Well, you can't use the file he sent unless you upgrade. But if you get the card dumps back, you should be able to LOG AND TRANSFER to ProRes on your system fine. Or was that the issue? They had garbage at the end?
    Trashing preferences fixes a lot of FCP oddities.

  • Final cut studio 3 and my mac pro major and unnecessary issues

    just a heads up, sorry for my grammar, I have been using final cut pro since it was 3.0 on my old g4 upgraded to every version since. ive edited on final cut pro ruffly 40 hours+ per week since. now i just upgraded to final cut studio 3 about 2 weeks ago and ive been having major issues with speed and freezing and rendering and the new sharing features and motion and everything.
    lets start from the beginning.
    i have a mac pro 1,1 with dual core intel xeon 2.66 ghz
    7 gb of ram
    osx 10.5.8 (cant upgrade to snow leopard just yet due to sxs problems and heard its even slower)
    NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT (thinking may be the culprit)
    i have 2 monitors one 22" and my main 24" running both through a dvi cable
    now the first hour i started working the computer froze up completely, mouse frozen and everything
    (never happened before) after a day of unexpected quits and constant restarts i disconnected my second monitor.
    im still having the speed problems sometimes even seeing scrambled images for icons on my os dock. i dont know what to do. ill leave something to render over night, wake up and check on it and the program quit. again. i have a deadline on a video coming very quick, and ive been searching this issue on all the discussion boards here and creative cow and haven't seen an answer yet. spoke to customer support early in the issue and tried everything they said ie: new user, different drive, yada yada yada. the only thing i havent done is reinstall osx and flush my whole computer. im definatly not prepared to do so and then still have the problem. anyway. if anyone can get through this runon of a post please please help im despreate. let me know if you need anymore info and ill be glad to provide it, and if anyone that helps lives in the ny area i would be honored to buy you a drink in return for your support.
    thanks for your time.

    HOW did you upgrade? Install FCS 3 on top of FCS 2? That is not the best way to do it. Plus some of the issues you are having seem like OS issues. The best thing to do is the "scorched Earth" approach. Fresh install of the OS and fresh install of FCS 3. Always when upgrading this is the best method. And the make sure that you can go back if things don't work is to get a NEW hard drive, install the OS and FCS3 on that, and keep the old drive. Or clone your hard drive (carbon copy cloner), then erase and install. Or at least clone your drive before you update what you have (which is not the best way).
    Too late now, I know, but file that away for the future. Now you should backup all your data, then erase and install Leopard again, then install your Apps. This will take a day, maybe a day and a half, and then you will be up and running. Better than trying to stuggle for days or weeks with a staggering OS.

  • Questions about final cut studio 7 and motion 5

    Hello!
    I have two questions:
    1. How do I find all the updates to the final cut studio? Last came out before the final cut pro x came out.
    2. Works Motion 5 good up to final cut pro 7? Will there by any problem to use both prorammene against each other? And if so, what kind of problem can arise?
    I would be grateful if someone could tell me this because I had settings alert Motion 4 (which now crashes at startup). And considering buying Motion 5 for I will not have to be automatically installed again my whole system that works one hundred percent. The job I would rather not do.
    I'm not so good English so I hope you understand what I mean.
    Can any help me for this little crisis I have a lot of work left and wait. :-(

    This I have done to run instaleringen the entire final cut studio re-enter. Ran software product update. Have checked the final cut pro and then I have version 7 and version7.0.3 as I had before.
    Before this, I have thrown the preference files for Motion 4, but disk utility to repair permissions on the system drive, I have not used.
    But how can a fjærne entire final cut studio package also put it in again so we have aclean new installation of the programs?
    How can we explain that this has happened? Just what I do not understand.
    Are happy for all the tips I get. For I dread to put reindeer speakers the whole thing sinceit worked so well as it did before this happened.
    Thanks to all who will help me. I will be very happy if this can be solved in an easymanner without having to spend a whole day on automatically installed everythingagain.

  • Final Cut Studio updates

    I've purchased and installed the final cut studio cross grade kit about 12 or 18 months or so ago. Now I am trying to get updates for motion 2.1.2 and final cut 5.1 that I own. I keep getting an error message that my serial numbers I'm registering are not valid. Clearly they are correct and the serial number for the crossgrade is the same on all the applications. Please tell me what I can do from here or can I get the serial number changed?
    This is very frustrating, as it was when I had to send my original FCP disc's back to apple when I purchased this cross grade kit.
    Thank you to anyone that can assist me.

    Sounds like you're trying to download the updates by going to the Apple support site rather than using the "Software Update..." feature in the menu bar.
    I've never had the problem, but I recall seeing a post or two similar to yours in the past and the recommendation was to use Software Update.
    Another possibility is that you might be entering an O instead of a zero, or vice versa, if either of those are in the serial number.

  • Can i install Final cut studio 5 and DVD Studio Pro 4 on OSX lion

    Is any body who can help me on giving me some direction on how to install Final Cut Studio 5.1 and DVD Studio Pro 4 on my OSX Lion, if it's doable. Thanks

    The easiest way is to install Rosetta from a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD first.
    There's also a way of doing it via Terminal that's been posted here a couple of times. A search should bring that up.

  • Final Cut Studio 2 and External NTSC monitor

    Hello.
    I just purchased the imace 20" 2.4 machine. It's still in the box as I'm getting all my old files off my pc (last one, this makes me all mac!).
    My question is this. I have final cut studio 2. What I want to do i use the mini-dvi output to go to an NTSC monitor for final Cut playback.
    I haven't been able to find a solid answer on this. I know I can get another external VGA/DVI monitor and it would be work, but I need to use an NTSC (4:3) monitor for some projects.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks!

  • Final Cut Studio 2 and Sony SR1e | AVCHD Format

    Hi,
    I'am new to this forum and can't find any useful information regarding the support of the AVCHD-Format used by Sony's SR1e.
    So does the latest Final Cut Studio 2 support the .mts AVCHD Format by the SR1E?
    I see Sony in the partner list, but the cam is not on the device list.
    I found some scripting and complicated ways to convert the .mts to mpeg, but maybe there is a smarter solution out there?
    Or is it really true, that I have to use the Nero Burning Application on Windows to convert the AVCHD's instead of the latest Final Cut Studio editing software?
    btw: Squared 5's Streamclip Software is not able to convert the .mts files.
    Kind Regards, Carlo

    Not sure about FCS2 but you do have options with a capture card and bring in to FC in many different codecs. Depending on your computer you could use a Black Magic Intensity card for the all digital HDMI port on this camera and bring it in as DVC PRO HD and edit in an all digital all I frame codec. Even if Apple comes out with support for this AVCHD you may still want to avoid it as most HDV shooter/editors do.
    Good Luck

  • Final Cut Studio 2 and Macbook (not Pro)

    Curious to know if anyone has any experience running Final Cut Studio 2 on a non-pro Macbook. Can Macbook handle Final Cut Pro alright? Is video memory an issue?
    Thanks,
    Mbs

    For the record, Motion will run on a MacBook. It's just that some of the features aren't supported, and will produce incorrect results. So I wouldn't rely on it.
    Final Cut, however, works perfectly. No problems at all.

  • Final Cut Studio 2 and video app chaos

    Hi,
    Did anyone find after installing Final Cut Studio 2 that their 3rd party apps to do with video extraction/conversion suddenly start to unexpectedly quit when in operation? It's a brand new MacPro, lovely machine until Final Cut software went and messed things up. I won't mention the trouble I had to install both Logic Studio and FCS since they both share similar components and included apps, Apple's installer is not designed to cope and I had to mess about with the receipts folder to get both installed. This page was available yesterday http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1110?locale=en_GB to give an insight of the problems between the two. Anyhow, I think the best solution is to remove Final Cut software as I'm not up for spending hours debugging.

    I had a huge issue pop up with me too...and I figured the best way was to wipe the drive, install the OS and FCP from scratch. Took a day, but better than spending more time trying to figure things out.

  • 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?
