How do I uninstall Final Cut Express to sell?

I want to sell my copy of Final Cut Express HD as I no longer need it. How do I uninstall the software so that the buyer will experience no licensing issues when they come to install it on their own Mac?

No and he wouldn't have had any problems even if you hadn't uninstalled it.
All that happens is that whenever a new person registers it overwrites the previous person.
In any case it's really a waste of time registering as it confers no benefits other than getting rid of the "nag-screen" asking you to register after every fifth launch of FCE!

    How can I open Final Cut Express project in Final Cut Pro X?

    If you export the project from FCE you can import the QuickTime into FCP. You can do limited work to it like adding titles.

    How do I copy final cut express from my computer onto a laptop?

    You don't.  Several of the system level components won't be installed properly if you copy or 'migrate' to a new computer.  You'll need to install from the original install discs.

  • How do i update final cut express HD 3.0

    Hi
    I have a question regarding final cut express HD 3.0
    I have a imac that has 2GHz Intel Core duo, that got a memory upgrade to 2GB and upgraded the OS to 10.6.8
    that is as far as i can upgrade, because the processor won't accept the newer OS, but anyways I was reinstalling final cut express after upgrading
    and then i tried to open a project i was working on, only to have it say that the file is newer than the application.
    I tried to find update for FCE, but i don't see it available anymore, i see that FCE 4.0 is availble, but for a price.
    Is there any way that i can update to 3.5, or do i have to budget for 4.0
    thanks for any help

    I'm not quite sure what FCE version was before the OS upgrade.
    When i open the file, it goes all the way to beginning to bring the editor up, then it stops and says "File's format is too new for this version of the application"
    which i am guessing that FCE needs updated, thats what i am getting from the message.
    As far as i know it installed in default location, it is in the application folder.  I'm beginning to learn the mac basics and programs.
    I didn't install the soundtrack or live type, should i have installed those too?
    how do you uninstall FCE?  I will try and install it again and install everything and see if that works.
    I was just trying to save hdd space in not installing everything, but if i need to i will install everything.

  • How can I use Final Cut Express in a Mac Pro

    I want to know how could I use my Final Cut Express HD programm (Version 3) in my new Mac Pro.

    FCE 3.0 was not designed to work with Intel based Macs when they were introduced years ago so you have no chance with a modern Mac.
    You must upgrade to FCE 4 unless you want to move onto Final Cut Pro X which is designed to be used with the latest technology.
    Final Cut Studio 3 will also work OK.

  • Do I have to uninstall Final Cut Express 4 to Install Final Cut Studio 3

    Can I leave Final Cut Express 4 on my machine at the same time install Final Cut Studio 3. I have some unfinished projects on FCE I want to finish at some time but not necessarily in the next few weeks.
    Are these programs going to conflict with each other or is it best to just uninstall FCE? Also...is FCE uninstall just a straight delete? I don't see an uninstall app.
    Thanks
    Bryan

    FCE and FCS can live quit happilly together.
    Sticking to FCE for FCE stuff is a wise move.

  • How do  register for final cut express which came pre-installed? i'm being asked to provide a serial number - how is that possible?

    how do i find the serial number for software that was pre-installed on my imac? it's the final cut express software - which i can't use without the serial number .... help, please! d.s.

    When you purchase a computer from Apple with pre-installed software it comes with the OS install discs, the iLife install disc, and any other installation discs. You should have an FCE installation disc. The serial number should be on the disc.

  • How do I uninstall final cut pro x?

    Hi there.
    Is there a proper way to uninstall Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5, and the new Compressor from my system (10.6.8), or can I just thrash the 3 apps?
    I'd also like to make sure to delete the downloaded additional content, and that my Final Cut Studio (FCP 7.0.3, etc) that's also in this computer doesn't get affected.
    I searched hi and lo and couldn't find any answer of discussion about it. The manual also doesn't say.
    Thank you.

    Hi there.
    I have a way for you to uninstall FCPX, but it may be incomplete (as in it might not delete everything).  Do not use this if you have Final Cut Studio and you want to keep it as this will render it useless and you will have to reinstall.  First delete the program itself.  If you are using a developer preview of Lion follow these steps:
    1. Open Launchpad and find FCPX, Motion 5, and Compressor
    2. Click and hold on the icon, then click the x in the top left corner of the wiggling icon.
    3. Skip down below after the Snow Leopard Part.
    Snow Leopard Steps:
    1.  Find a Mac uninstallation program (Here the one that I use: http://www.freemacsoft.net/AppCleaner/)
    2.  Launch App Cleaner.
    3.  Click on the application folder in your dock and find the 3 apps.
    4.  Drag them into the window that appears when you open App Cleaner.
    5.  Click delete, and then type the administrator password if it asks for one.
    6.  Skip down below.
    Remove (I think all) of the additional content:
    1. Click on finder.
    2. Press CMD + Shift + G
    3. Copy and paste this (replacing username with your actuall username): /Users/Username/Library
    4. Look for and delete the Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Compressor folders.
    5. Follow Step 2 above.
    6. Follow Step 3 above except paste this (and don't replace anything): /Library/Application Support
    7. Look for and delete the Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Compressor folders.

  • How can I UNINSTALL Final Cut STUDIO?

    I do not want it anymore! How can I Uninstalled??????????????
    Thank you!

    1) In Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder (Shift-Command-G)
    2) Enter the location /Library/Receipts/FinalCurPro.pkg/Contents
    3) Click Go to open the Contents folder
    4) Launch Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal)
    5) Enter the command lsbom -s (that's a lower case L, not an upper case i)
    lsbom lists each of the files inside the bill of materials. To list only the folders, the command would be lsbom -d.
    6) Type a space, then drag the Archive.bom file from the Finder window to the Terminal window.
    7) Press Return to view the list
    8) Drag to select the list in the Terminal window and choose File > Copy (Command-C)
    9) Open a text editor and paste the list into it. Print if you have a printer attached.
    10) Guided by the list, delete all the files and folders, being extremely careful to delete from the exact locations shown in the list.
    NOTE: This and the instructions in my previous post come from the Peachpit book Optimizing Your Final Cut Pro System.

  • How do I uninstall Final Cut Pro 5 Suite?

    I've never actually tried to uninstall this suite, so I may be overlooking something obvious. I tried opening the install package and looking for an option there, but no luck - and the document on Apple's site that should instruct me on how to do this seems to be missing.
    Does anyone have any tips?

    one of the support articles includes these notes:
    Another approach you might consider is reinstalling Final Cut Pro. To do this effectively, you need to remove the application and its receipts, then install Final Cut Pro and use Software Update to install additional updates. You don't have to remove everything that was installed with Final Cut Pro. Follow the steps below to completely reinstall a fresh copy of Final Cut Pro. Note: Make sure that you have your installation discs and serial number handy before starting this.
    Open the Applications folder.
    Drag the Final Cut Pro application to the Trash.
    Go to /Library/Receipts.
    In the Receipts folder, select the "FinalCutPro.pkg" file.
    Choose View > as List to view the contents in a list.
    Click the Date Modified column header so you can easily see all of the receipts that were installed at the same time as Final Cut Pro.
    Drag the FinalCutPro.pkg receipt to the Trash, as well as any other items that have the same modification date within 3 minutes of the FinalCutPro.pkg's modification date.
    Click the Name column header to sort the list alphabetically.
    Drag any other receipts whose names begin with "Final Cut Pro" to the Trash.
    Insert your Final Cut Pro installation disc and install Final Cut Pro.
    When finished, use Software Update (under the Apple menu) to update your software to the latest version.
    For further information on settings or installation, please refer to the Final Cut Pro documentation available on your installation discs.
    Hope that helps

  • How do I uninstall Final Cut Pro??

    Do I have to do anything else apart from putting the icon in the trash?

    Use an application such as AppZapper; Final Cut Pro places a large number of items on the system, and cannot be removed just by throwing the application away.

  • How do I properly uninstall Final Cut Express HD

    I got a new MacBook Pro, and put my old FCE HD on to it with the Migration Assistant, but now it doesn't work because the hardware is different. Now, how do I get FCE properly uninstalled???
    Is there a certain doing for every program to uninstall???

    Use this to uninstall: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcs_remover.htm
    If I recall correctly, you'll need FCE 4 to install and run properly on an IntelMac.
