HELP!  Final Cut 4, graphics card assistance needed...

Hi, I have a MacBook Pro that I bought in August, and I recently tried to install Final Cut Pro 4... everything was successful except it tells me there is a "Configuration Error" and "this software requires certain hardware or software which is missing: AGP Graphics Card" ... What can I do to make it so it works? Is there a way without installing that graphics card? Pleas help!

Do you know if I can upgrade for a reduced price?
As long as you own a legitimate copy of FCP, you can upgrade to the complete Final Cut Studio 2 package for $699.00 (USD). If you own the older Final Cut Studio (v1), the upgrade price is $499.00 (USD). The full retail version is $1299.00 (USD).

  • Do I meet Final Cut Express Graphic Card Reqts?

    According to Apple, one needs an AGP or PCI Express Quarts Extreme graphics card for Final Cut Express HD. Does that mean my NVIDIA GeForce 6600 on the G5 and NVIDIA GeForce4 MX on the G4 don't cut it? Am I wasting my money buying Final Cut Express HD?

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    I own a G5 with a GeForce nvidia 6600 256 meg VRAM, and FCE hd works very well. I dont know the GeForce 4 MX on your G4, but quartz Extreme run on GeForce2 MX with a minium of 16 meg VRAM:

    David, thank you so much. After a great deal of frustration and despair at ever getting it working, I can now edit my precious home movies. Appreciate you taking the time to help me! Vicki

  • When I import a Quick Time movie into the timeline using Final Cut Express, why does it need rendering?

    when I import a Quick Time movie into the timeline using Final Cut Express, why does it need rendering?

    Because your clip properties do not match your sequence settings.
    It will help a lot if you provide details ...
    FCE Easy Setup
    Sequence settings (vid rate, frame size, compressor)
    Source of your clips (camcorder make/model, etc)
    Clip properties (vid rate, frame size, compressor)

  • 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.

    You don't. You can install the same copy of FCP-7 on two macs (as long as you own both macs). You can't operate both copies at the same time.

    i need to buy final cut pro software  and i need it to support arabic writing the problem iam in germany  the  i tune here does not give you chance to choose the
    language

    If you want the menus and dialogues of the app to be in Arabic, that's not possible, there is no Arabic version of this software.
    If you just want to write Arabic language titles, etc., the language of the app is irrelevant, the input of different languages is handled by the OS, and Arabic input is always available.
    All Apple software is multilingual, no matter where you buy it. For example, the user interface for Final Cut Pro can be switched among English, Chinese, French, German, and Japanese.

  • Need help with power supply & graphics card upgrades

    I have a HP Pavilion p6320y that I bought 8 months ago. AMD Phenom II x4820 Quad Core processor.   I play WoW and since the last big patch, have been suffering with low fps. I updated drivers and followed all the advice given to me by Blizz and finally figured out that my Nvidia GeForce 9100 (integrated graphics) isn't good enough anymore.
    I checked my computer and discovered that I have a 300w power supply (12V) and read on another post here that something stronger than 300w is needed to run a decent graphics card.
    Now for my questions:
    How much of a power supply can I upgrade to without hurting my computer, but will be enough to run a good card?
    What would be a good graphics card for this computer?
    I've been looking at the Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express graphics card and wonder if that will work on my computer.  Most of the nicer cards seem to be the PCI Express and I'm not sure if that will work.
    Any advice will be most helpful. I have some experience with the inner workings of my PC and would like to fix this myself instead of running to the closest computer shop and paying someone else to. Thanks!
    This question was solved.

    Well, you are starting out from a fairly low baseline with the integrated graphics. It will not cost much to have a substantial increase if all you want to do is run WoW without error messages. Yes, the 300w power supply is an issue and rules out any card that will require its own power (i.e. needs its own power cord like a hard drive) but there are several mid-grade cards that can run off bus power alone (i.e. just from the pci-e slot itself). Just taking a quick look at newegg.com I see the following:
    GeForce 9400 under $50
    Radeon HD 4650 under $50
    GeForce 9500GT a little over $50
    Any of these should get you where you want to be and not require a PS upgrade. The slot you have available is a PCI Express x16 slot so don't look at AGP cards; they will not work. If you want to install the card you mention you need to get a better PSU.

  • Help - Final Cut the right option for making self-playing presentations

    Hi There,
    I'm been in a horrible place trying to export a presentation made in Keynote 2 into Quicktime. This presentation has audio embedded in the presentaion (not as an object on the slide) and also has quicktime movies on the slides. The movies have vector images building in and out that is supposed to follow along with the audio and video.
    The long and the short of it is, it doesn't work for what I want it to do.
    Keynote can't:
    A) set any timings that are accurate in any way
    (i need to have visualks sincing with an audio narration)
    B) can't export either at all at times or with any accuracy to QT.
    I need to be able to make QTs so they can be:
    A) made into steaming files that would be available online
    B) input into a DVD so they can viewed on a television.
    I know I attempted a cheat by trying to go about this through Keynote and it has failed. Now I have to figure out what will work, learn the app and rebuild the keynote files in the right program.
    Is final cut what I want? is express enough? Is there a presentation sofware out there that works? I was also told motion may be necessary? I know there is a strong possiblilty I was using the wrong piece of software for what I want to accomplish. I am will be willing to make the investment if I know it will be succesfull.
    I'm really at a loss and need advice to assist in making the right decisions to move foward. Help! and Thank You.

    All these applications will take some time learning to use effectively. I'd suggest you spend the time learning them before you tackle a project in earnest.
    The full version is a bit more complex to learn because there are many more settings and options, which aren't available in FCE, and which may make it more daunting. The applications themselves behave very similarly, and anything you learn in FCE will apply to FCP.
    I'm an Apple certified Final Cut and Motion trainer. Is Motion overkill? Can't answer that for you. It is very easy to use and to get going and be productive. It also comes with excellent templates. If you get Studio you get LiveType as well, and all the applications integrate easily, LiveType to Motion to FCP and any combination of that. I like LT a lot, but Motion is fun to use too, very dynamic in what you can create in real-time on the fly. It does require horsepower though, lots of RAM and a fast graphics card. You might find it a bit bogged down on a PowerBook as the project gets more complex. Motion is really designed for short pieces, motion graphics elements, opening titles, interstitials, not for doing whole programs.

  • Help with installing new graphics card

    Hi I have a 3 year old hpe575a (hp pavillion)
    Intel i7 2600, 8gb ram
    Orginally had a ati hd radeon  2gb (not sure what model)
    in it
    after 2 years the radeon finally melted ( always had overheating problems in the australian summer )
    so I bought a nvidia gtx630m which had the same connections and power requirements and connections as the radeon 
    I csnt seem to get it working, despite the card powering up, and loading the splash screen it doesnt go any further, I can get to the network boot screen or the hp splash screen but no further, and I cant find any bios updates for my mptherboard (pegatron) so do I need a new motherboard? The computer works 100% fine without the new graphics card 
    Should I get a new motherboard. Or graphics card? which would be cheaper? or is there someway to get the current system to work with the new graphics card? thanks -zac 

    Hi,
    The existing card is an "AMD Radeon HD6570 (2 GB)". I don't know how you can fit a Nvidia GTX630M to your machine because this card is for laptop:
         http://www.geforce.com/hardware/notebook-gpus/geforce-gt-630m/specifications
    Probably you are talking about the following card:
        http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-630/specifications
    The card should be able to use 300W PSU on your machine (no need new PSU). My suggestion:
    (a) Update BIOS to the latest one, please check, should be "Version7.15 Rev. A" the motherboard is Cleveland
         http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=cp-101150-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
    (b) Install driver for new card
    Hope this helps.

  • Looking for a better graphic card. Need feedback and suggestion

    I'm looking to get a different graphic card but I'm not sure really what to buy,
    These are my computer specs 
    Computer: Gateway Gt5228 Media center edition
    OS: Windows Xp
     Current graphic card: NVIDIA GeForce 6100 PCI Express Slot avaliable
    I was wondering what would be a good graphic card that is a good significant upgrade.  I'm looking for one that has a significant increase over what I have right now, it doesn't necessarily have to be the best out there.
    I want to be able to play a game call Diablo 3 
    These are the High and low Performance, that the game will run with.

    Honestly I wouldn't spend too much trying to upgrade your computer. It has an aging dual core Athlon processor, and only 2GB of RAM. Even with the highest top of the line card, with that CPU/RAM setup, your computer is probably going to struggle to run it.

  • Final Cut Express tells me I need to register again

    I think my computer may have a virus. FCP tells me I need to register my serial number again (I have used it for 2+ years with no problems), but as soon as I start typing any information in the 'Final Cut Express Serialization' area the OK button turns grey, so it won't respond when I have entered the information. I have tried deleting FCP but am told that 'FCP cannot be moved to the trash because it cannot be deleted'. I have deleted the FCP ID file as recommended in other discussions but no luck.
    When trying to install again using the original disc (genuine Apple software) I am told :
    Error creating folder
    1008:9,-5000 Access denied error
    Upon clicking 'OK' I am then told:
    You do not have enough access privileges for this installation.
    Please help, I am going mad!!!

    Make sure you're an admin user, trash you're preferences and repair permissions. Make sure the drive as the correct permissions set in Get info.
    The OK button gets grayed out when you start typing the number, because the number is incorrect. When you finish typing the number correctly, case sensitive, hyphens, correct groups of letters or numbers, the OK button will light up again.
