Having trouble reinstalling Final Cut Express after uninstall with FCS remover.

I just had to uninstall Final Cut Express in order to remove my daughter's Final Cut Studio from my computer using FCS-remover. Now Final Cut Express installs but will not run. I urgently need to get Final Cut Express running and hope you can help. Here is the error message:

After reinstalling with FCS Remover, you need to update everything to the latest version including ProKit.

Got a second hand G4, wiped it, having trouble reinstalling final cut pro

my mom and i are working on a second hand G4 with superdrive. we wiped it, reinstalled the basics (3 disc boot series), and moved on to install OS X. everything seemed cool. then i put in the final cut pro disc (we have both 2 and 3 discs for 'upgrades' but i started with the basic one). i put it in, i start to install, it loads almost the entire way and then it gives me an error of 'MDB (or MBD?) was not written. Continue?' i have no idea what i'm doing wrong. i said continue, then once it finishes, i try to open it and nada. does this have to do with Quicktime? it's just a guess but i really don't know what's up. the main reason i got the mac is so i could make slideshows for my family in final cut. help?

Sorry so long in responding to your comments. I have FCP 1 CD with 2 and 3 upgrade CD's. After installing FCP 1 a comment box requests MacOSx.1.1 update. Downloaded it from Apple website - won't let me install it. I get to select a destination - then it wont' allow me to pick one. Becca and I did not get this error last week, when we started this.

Hi, I am having trouble opening Final Cut on my Macand opens only when in the Administrator account. nyone know why please? Thanks

Having trouble opening Final Cut on my Mac and opens only when in the Administrator account and not when in Guest account. anyone know why please? Thanks

Yes... I can confirm this too...
If I load up my clips with no audio into the timeline, stuttering is there immediately.
Then I add an audio track to the timeline and the stutter vanishes.
Then, if I turn down the volume of the audio to zereo or - 46 dB. The stuttering reappears.
If, however, I place the cursor (Skimmer) in a clip prior to hitting play, the stutter vanishes yet again...
I adore FCPx and after getting to know it, there really is NO going back for me. This app is more than a decade ahead of its time and it's new. And still in a sort of beta-phase. At least that is what I tell myself so that I can deal with it ;-)
At least now we know ONE reason why stuttering appears and by identifying the problem, we can solve it !

Can you explain when using keywords and addding them to various clips pressing ctrl and a number eg. 1 or 2 it simply closes down FCPX. Just to the dock as would th yellow -sign. As you gather I am new to this program having only used Final Cut Express 4

Re: Why don't my arrows on the time line operate and allow me to move to the start and end of the timeline. Iam using the trial version

Check System Preferences. I think Control-1 is used by something in the OS now. Switch it off. It's a major p[ain the way the OS is taking over more and more of the keyboard, allowing less options for application use.

I have a new iMac but having problems installing final cut express 4 from old macbook pro ?

i have a new iMac but having problems installing final cut express 4 from old macbook pro ?

FCE was discontinued nearly 3 years ago and is no longer supported.
I don't know whether it's possible to install it on Mavericks and if you do it may not perform properly.
Final Cut pro X and iMovie are the only Apple apps that are supported.

Can't reinstall Final Cut Express 4 from disc. What do I do?

I formatted my macbook pro and now want to reinstall final cut express 4.
The problem is that I keep getting the message that the disc is empty,
I think the problem is my cd driver. Is there a way to get the software online?

Can you borrow an external DVD drive to do the install?

Interface text disappeared in Final Cut Express after upgrade to 10.6

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and now none of the interface text will display in Final Cut Express. (The top menus are OK, but no file or sequence titles, effects names, etc, within Final Cut project windows or the like.)
Immediately after the upgrade I was presented with several "Font Conflict" errors claiming that some fonts had to be moved to the trash because they conflicted with system display fonts, and I said yes. The fonts were Helvetica, HelveticaNeue, and a couple of others.
Any ideas of how I can get text back? Thanks!
-i-

I was able to fix this by restoring my ~/Library/Fonts folder from a backup prior to the 10.6 upgrade. After a restart I once again received the following errors:
"There is a conflict with the _______ font file. This font file contains a font name that conflicts with a system font required by Mac OS X to display onscreen text. You should move this font file to the Trash."
The fonts it said were conflicting: Helvetica, HelveticaNeue.dfont, Lucida Grande, and Monaco.
This time I said "Allow Conflict" on all four dialog boxes and launched Final Cut... everything is back to normal!
Not sure what kind of "conflict" it's referring to, but apparently moving these font files to the trash as OS X prompted me to do broke a number of apps.
Should I report this as a bug?

Trouble opening Final Cut Express

I'm borrowing a friends imac while my macbook pro is off for service. When I first got it the Final Cut Express worked perfectly. Now whenever I try to open Final Cut Express I get the message that the camera is not connected and when I tell it to continue it shuts down suddenly. I've tried to open it with the camera connected but it does the same thing. I've also tried to click on a saved project and open it but that didn't work either. Does anyone have any idea of what might be going on?
Thanks

Thanks for answering. The imac is a 1ghz pc g4 with 256 ram. The Final Cut Express says that is version 1.0 (not for resale) so it must have come loaded on there from apple. I'm not sure how I could trash the preferences. The program doesn't stay open long enough for me to get in there. I tried to go to preferences when the message came up that it couldn't find the camera but it was grayed out. And once I click on continue that's when it closes down.

Final Cut Express malfunctions completely with older FCE projects

Hello,
I have a fairly major problem with FCE (computer and software specs below). About 3 years ago I edited a documentary in 14 separate FCE projects and saved them with many backups.   I returned to editing this recently and was disturbed to see that none of the old projects will load properly and I tried a number of the back-up copies. Here's a rundown of what happens --
- Load a project in FCE, first a warning message "The file format of this project is from an earlier version. Would you like to update this project file?" The only way to proceed is by choosing "Yes". There is a further warning about saving all of your old projects if you want to retain the 'older' version formats.
- At this point there are a number of things that malfunction:
1) FCE has lost the connection to the source files.   This should not be an issue b/c I did not move or touch any source files.
2) Some projects are completely missing the timeline that was built (kind of important) as well as the canvas.
3) It appears that when I attempt to reconnect projects to source files the edit points have changed or the project is using the wrong source file.
I'm guessing one possibility is that in the 3 years since I created the original projects I may have allowed Apple to do an update to FCE which caused FCE to become corrupted . . . I can't imagine an update would cause 3 year old versions of projects to fail so spectacularly though.
In the last couple of months I have created and completed a couple of video projects with FCE without any problems.
If you have knowledge about this particular problem, suggestions for solutions or other forums I would be most grateful. I think it's possible that an uninstall and reinstall might do the trick, please feel free to weigh in on if/how this should be done so that I don't make things any worse.
Thank you!
-Rob
Specs:
Hardware: iMac 10.5.8, 2.4 GHz, 4 GB RAM -- Original specs
Software:   Final Cut Express -- Original CD: 4.0 (Purchased from Apple) Current Version is: 4.0.1

Hi Al,
Thanks for writing and the suggestions, I appreciate it.   I've got a question and some comments about what I've already tried:
When you say 'Trash the FCE Preferences', should I go to the Preferences panel in FCE and reset everything or are you recommending something more direct like going into the filesystem and completely erasing a FCE Preferences file or folder?
Permissions for all the files are the same as before. Source files were always read/write for 'user', and read-only for 'group' and 'others'.
All projects were saved in .FCE format so I can't open them in QuickTime. I've noted that QT has likely changed so I may experiment with that a little bit.
> 1. Have you moved any files with the Finder that FCE uses or changed names?
I didn't move any source files or anything related to the projects. I was very meticulous about this as I had to leave the project for some time and wanted to make sure everything was in place so I could re-commence without inconvenience.
I have opened an old project and done a 'Save As' and re-opened. The only problem is that the problems still remain -- disconnected source files, misplaced edit points -- all the problems that I had before are still there and the project is essentially unusable.
I may have a follow-up question in another day or so, hopefully I can get things working. I'll need a little time to try all of the options . . . I'm walking on eggshells with this one as I don't want to lose anything or make things worse than they are.
Thanks again for your thoughts.
Best Regards,
Rob

Does Final Cut Express 4 work with mac mini and other questions...?

I have a few questions I need help in answering... I would appreciate opinions on the following:
I am about to make a purchase of a new mac. I already have a mac mini PPC, but it is too slow...
Here is what I am thinking.
Mac mini, 2GB mem, 160GB hard drive. Will this new mac mini work with Final Cut Express 4?
Or should I go with the more powerful iMac?
I like to make movies on my mac but I hate iMovie 08 so I constantly use iMovie HD 06. Should I go to Final Cut Express 4 or just stick with iMovie HD 06?

There is no doubt that FCE 4 will run on an Intel mini - the GMA graphics processor is compatible. There is also no doubt that an iMac would give you somewhat better overall performance, though it's important perhaps to note that as complex as FCE is, it is actually a little less demanding on hardware than iMovie has traditionally been, so the difference between a mini with 2Gb RAM and a similarly equipped iMac will not be all that great in FCE, though it will become a little more noticeable if you continue to use iMovie 6.
The main reason for the performance difference between iMovie and FCE is that in order to provide a reasonably sophisticated video editing package that will run on very basic hardware, Apple relied heavily on caching techniques, meaning that while FCE basically spools from video and relies on CPU power, iMovie constantly moves data to and from the hard drive. The mini's hard drive is a (relatively) slow device in comparison to the iMac's - thus the iMac runs iMovie rather more seamlessly. In FCE, the difference is, as said, rather less clear unless you were to go for the top-end model.
If your budget can stretch to an iMac it makes sense to go that route simply because the extra power and overall performance (and the better graphics processor) will give you greater flexibility down the road. On the other hand, if funds are tight and you need to spend as little as reasonably possible, a mini will do fine, and is sufficient;y inexpensive that in a couple of years could be sold off and replaced without severe financial implications.
In terms of the choice between FCE or iMovie, beware that if you haven't used FCE before, the transition is not easy, and the learning curve for it is pretty steep. That said, it has far greater power and flexibility in terms of what you can achieve with it than has ever been possible with iMovie.
That said, for casual and home use, iMovie (version 6 at least) has plenty of power and tools for the majority of projects. iMovie 8 is, in many ways, deeply flawed for those who want that sort of power and workflow tools, being that it is designed for quick and easy creation of movies, not creative and considered productions. It has it's uses, but if you have experience with iMovie already, v8 is really not intended for you at all.
All that said, I've used iMovie 6 on systems will a lot less power than the current Intel minis, and have found it stable and workable, so I have no doubt it would work well on any current Mac.

HT2948 Will Final Cut Express 4 work with the new Canon XA10 AVCHD ??

I'm in the process of shopping for new cameras for my students. We edit on Final Cut Express 4 HD. I want to buy the Canon XA10camwras which record to SD cards. I keep reading AVCHD video and am new to the technology. The B&H website says this camera :
Product Highlights
1/3" CMOS Sensor
Native 1920 x 1080
24Mbps AVCHD Recording
60i, PF30, PF24, Native 24p
64GB Internal Flash Drive
Flash Memory
The XA10 Professional Camcorder allows users to record up to 24 hours of clear high definition video to a 64GB internal flash drive or to two SDXC-compatible memory cards. With Relay Recording, the camcorder automatically switches video recording from the internal drive to the SD memory cards when the memory becomes full.
Video can be copied from the XA10's internal drive to removable SD memory cards. That makes it easy to insert the card into your computer or HDTV's card reader and view your recorded footage immediately. Double Slot Recording allows recording to two SD cards simultaneously, providing an automatic backup while shooting.
AVCHD Codec
The XA10 features the AVCHD codec. AVCHD (Advanced Video Coding High Definition) was announced in 2006 and is quickly becoming the standard for professional camcorders. AVCHD utilizes MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 compression technology similar to the technology used in Canon's HD DSLRs. In addition to professional grade camcorders, AVCHD is very popular in the consumer market and as a result most nonlinear editing software, both professional and consumer, have full support for the codec; this makes for easy compatibility with the XA10 no matter what system you choose.
Will I be able to take out the SD cards, put them in a card reader, and simply log and transfer into Final Cut Express? Again, I'm a novice and don't know what a lot of this means.
Thanks!!!!

FCE should work with the 60i (interlaced) footage this camera produces.
Also you should be able to load the SD and capture.
I do not have one or used one with FCE, the specs indicate it should.
Maybe a current owner can chip in their experiences.

Final Cut Express 4 compatible with iMovie '06 HD items?

Am considering buying Final Cut Express 4 but already have some projects in iMovie '06 HD. Are these two compatible? I don't have any plans to upgrade to iMovie '08 or '09.

Are these two compatible?
Sort of. You can export iMovie content in a QuickTime format that's native to FCE, but the two programs' native file structure is different. FCE separates audio and video; iMovie mixes the two together into what's called a DV Stream.

Final Cut Express Version Differences with working Camcorders...

Hi everyone. I need to know if I try a camcorder on Final Cut Express 3.0(not HD), and it works...Will it work on Final Cut Express HD 3.5? In other words, will the same camcorders work for both versions? Thanks and your support is Greatly Appreciated.

As far as I know, there should be no difference. If the cam is read by one version, it should be read by the other. This has been my experience. Perhaps others have found differently

Is Final cut express 4 compatible with the mac mini?

I need to know if I can use final cut express 4 on my new mac mini as I bought it mainly for editing videos.

An archived copy of the Final Cut Express 4 tech specs:
http://web.archive.org/web/20100103191034/http://www.apple.com/finalcutexpress/s pecs.html

Contrary to Apple's claims, Final Cut Express does work with Rosetta.

Using a rather simple hack, Final Cut Express works well actually. I was impressed that it wasn't as slow as the other apps I had tried in Rosetta. With some more RAM in my iMac, it should be tolerable until the Universal version is available.
Trick to get it running is here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=335392&tstart=0

Well, it works for a lot of people and it's now working for me. I suppose some features may not work but I haven't found them yet. It's running faster than it did on my G4 and I've already edited a short piece and printed it back to video.
In fact it even works on my iBook G3 600. That's FCP 4 on an iBook G3 600. I'm certainly not throwing any Naettress film effects on but I'm cutting video. And now I can take it on the road. Man, wish I'd have known this earlier.
Anyway, this will certainly allow me to wait until Apple gets the bugs worked out of the first UB versions of the Studio suite before dumping yet another $700 in the kitty. But, hey, it's Apple stuff and it's cool and I'll do it...yet again!
