How to go back old version final cut pro?

Hi
I recently upgraded my Final cut to new upgrade. My old one was FCP 6. Now it doesn't open and asking me put serial number. My FCP is not eligible for upgrade. ALso it said wrong serial number and doesn't open. How can I go back to old version I had? I have project i m working on I don't know what to do please. I need to go back to FCP 6.
Thank you

Any chance your old FCP is Academic? If so, you cannot upgrade that.
To go back, you need to uninstall FCS (use the FCS uninstaller, do a search in the forum). then reinstall the previous version.

How can i import old projects (Final Cut Pro 10) to the new (final cut pro 10.1.1)?

Hi everyone,
I have a folder full of backup projects and events of Final Cut Pro X.
Now, I have Final Cut Pro 10.1.1 and I don't know how to use those projects, since they were in a different folder.
Yhanks very much
Bruno

I'm assuming these are on a secondary drive. At the drive's root level make folders called Final Cut Projects and Final Cut Events. Move the projects and events you want to work with into those folders. In FCP use File>Update projects and events. Select the drive you want to update and FCP will update the projects and events in those folders. Save the originals as backups.

How to import MXF files to Final Cut Pro with smooth editing

Summary: Follow this tutorial to learn how to import and edit MXF files in Final Cut Pro by converting MTS to FCP native format.
If you have a Panasonic P2, Canon XF or Sony XDCAM series camcorder,
you may be familiar with Material eXchange Format (MXF). Though MXF is a
great video format to record high-definition videos, it is not easy to
use in that they are not natively supported by most NLE systems like
Final Cut Pro. In order to import MXF to FCP for editing, the easy workaround is to transcode MXF files to FCP compatible video formats.
Along with some help from a top MXF Converter, it can be done. To
help those who wanna edit MXF files in FCP without problems, here I
share with you a simple guide on how to convert MXF files to edit in
Final Cut Pro 6/7 or FCP X.
First of all, downloading the App- Brorsoft MXF Converter for Mac
Overall, the program is a professional yet easy-to-use MXF Converter
on Mac (Mavericks included) which can not only convert XF100, Canon
C300, XF105 and XF305, Panasonic P2 recorded MXF files, but also provide
simple video editing functions for you. The MXF to FCP Converter not
only can convert MXF to ProRes for FCP, but also can transcode MXF
videos for editing in Avid MC, Adobe Premiere Pro, iMovie, FCE, etc.
Just download it and follow the tutorial below to get the work done.
Transcoding (P2) MXF files to ProRes for Final Cut Pro 6/7/X
1. Import MXF files to the converter
Launch the best MXF to FCP Converter, and then click the “add files” button to browse and import MXF videos from your camcorder or hard drive.
2. Select FCP editable format
Click the Format bar, and move mouse cursor to choose “Final Cut Pro > Apple ProRes 422 (*.mov)” as output format.
Tips:
a. Settings- click to set video
resolution(1920×1080/1440×1080/1280×720/720×480), bitrate (from 1Mbps to
20Mbps), frame rate (24p/30p)
b. Editor (next to “Add” icon)- click to set deinterlace, trim, crop, add effect, attach subtitles, etc
3. Start transcoding MXF video to FCP
Click “Convert” button to start converting MXF files to Apple ProRes
MOV for FCP 6/7/X under Mac OS. Once the MXF to ProRes 422 conversion
is done, you can transfer MXF footage into Final Cut Pro (X) for editing
smoothly on Mac with ease.

How do I back up my final cut software

I've lost my disks for Final Cut Express 3.5 and want to back up the software. Is there a way I can do this?

There is no easy way to do this other than cloning your entire hard drive, as Studio X suggested.
If you want to attempt a manual backup, see Final Cut Express HD: How to Uninstall. The list of folders & files is a guide to what you would need to back up. A restore would necessitate putting all the files back into the proper folders. Even then there would be no guarantee it would work.
Also, your profile indicates you are using Lion (10.7.3). FCE was discontinued before Lion was released, and no version of Final Cut Express is supported on Lion. Plus FCE HD 3.5 is quite old at this point, and imho I wouldn't advise using it on anything later than Tiger (10.4.11). If you are really running on Lion, you should consider upgrading to Final Cut Pro X.

How many computers can I load Final Cut Pro on

If I purchase Final Cut Pro x how many computers can I load it on? Can I put it on my desk top and lap top?

In regards to FCP X on more than one computer --- currently with the older versions of FCP, if I try to launch FCP on a 2nd computer (that I own) it prompts me that I cannot launch the application on more than one computer at the same time. Does this prompt appear in FCP X as well if two computers try to use FCP X at the same time?

HOW TO Delete Unused Media from FINAL CUT PRO

*HOW TO DELETE UNUSED MEDIA FROM HARD DRIVE IN FINAL CUT PRO.* Keywords: disk disc drive space remove compressor
SUMMARY:
Say your original clip is 10 gigs, you can use only what you need and delete the rest from your hard drive. I know people on the forums say to just buy another hard drive, NO! It took 2 days to figure out but here it is!!! Email me if needed at [email protected]
QUESTION:
I captured 1 hour of video at a time and now want to delete from my hard drive all the parts I don’t want to use. I have 300GB of junk on my hard drive and I only want to use a few scenes using a few megabytes, so that I'll get most of my 300GB back!!!!
ANSWER:
In final cut on Mac, click on one small clip (to get familiar with process), go to “file”, “export”, then “using compressor”. This will open compressor software. Your file will open in the left top window. Then you need to batch the job or jobs. IMPORTANT: I’ve also solved the Compressor problem when you press “submit” to a batch and it states “Cluster: None”. Search forum for “In compressor you experience what I have”.
<Edited by Moderator>

Part of the problem could lie in the fact it's an imovie project coming into FCP, wouldn't rule that out. Second my be the terms you use and what you expect to happen. For example, a subclip is just a smaller clip subbed from a larger clip. It has nothing to do with media management. But you can media manage a subclip and delete the unused media.
Try this (be sure to back up the original clip first). take a long clip into the viewer, make an IN and OUT duration of like 30 frames and then subclip that, Modify > Make Subclip. a new subclip will appear in the browser with a torn clip icon and the name Subclip. Right click on the subclip and choose Media Manager.... Check the Delete unused media from duplicated clip. As you toggle that the green Modified bar at the top change from the full clip size to a tiny modified size. If it does not then one of two things ... user error or the system is screwed up. That's the easiest way to test media manager.

Transfer from trial to purchased version final cut pro

aloha!
i got the final cut pro trial version... and started some projects in there.
now i purchased final cut pro.
how do i get my projects and clips to final cut pro purchased version?
help!
kristin

Hi Kristinkshui,
Welcome to the Support Communities! I’m happy to hear that you liked the Final Cut Pro X software enough to purchase the full version. You will be amazed at all of the things you can do with this creative software!
The full Final Cut Pro X application will recognize the Libraries (and the projects and clips contained in them) that you created with the Trial Version. By default, these libraries are in the Movies folder in your User Account on your Mac, unless you chose an external hard drive to store this data. So, all you should have to do is launch the new Final Cut Pro X application and you should be able to pick up exactly where you left off. Once everything is working with your purchased software, quit Final Cut Pro X, and delete the FCPX Trial by dragging it from the Applications folder to the Trash.
The video below will provide a quick overview of what Final Cut Pro X can do:
Final Cut Pro X: Overview
http://support.apple.com/kb/VI287?viewlocale=en_US
I'm also including the Online Help Manual for Final Cut Pro X for your reference below:

I need help. How to export split track for Final Cut Pro 7 Thanks

I need help. I have edited a film and now the company I have made the film for want a split track of it. I have no idea how to export a split track off Final Cut Pro 7 and I need simple language to explain it to me as I am a beginner. Thanks

I assume you have multiple tracks of audio? And the audio is distributed discretely over these tracks (sync sound on tracks 1 and 2, sound effects on tracks 3 and 4, music on tracks 5 and 6 for example)?
Then duplicate your sequence by clicking on the icon for your sequence in the FCP browser and control-clicking on it. From the drop-down menu choose Duplicate. Double click on the duplicate sequence you just created to load it to the timeline and canvas.
Now, working on the copy you just made of your finished sequence, click anywhere on the timeline, and type Command + 0 {zero} to bring up your sequence settings. Click on the Audio Outputs Tab.
Once the Audio Output Tab opens, set the Outputs to the desired number of discrete tracks you want to export - in this case I will set it to 8, as I have sync sound on tracks 1 & 2, Voice Over on tracks 3 & 4, Sound Effects on tracks 5 & 6 and Music on tracks 7 & 8.
Once I do that the 8 tracks appear. I set them all to Dual Mono as I want them to be discrete tracks:
Once I am done, I click OK and return to the far left side of the timeline where the audio selectors are, and carefully control - clicking in the empty space above the lock symbol,
From the drop down menu I assign the output of each track - track 1 to to output track 1, track 2 to output track 2, doing so to each track:
You need to set the output for each track. Once all my track assignments are done, I go to the menu File > Export . . . > QuickTime Movie and export my sequence, but now it is exporting with 8 discrete tracks of audio.
To do a quick check that everything is OK, re-import the movie you just exported back into FCP, and open it in the Viewer and you will see that it does indeed have the multi-tracks, as 8 mono track tabs appear at the top of the viewer.
Now give that QuickTime a name that includes "Split Tracks" in the title and copy it to your delivery drive.

How do I capture HDV in Final Cut Pro 6.0.6 from a Sony HDR-CX360?

Hi. I recently upgraded to a Sony HDR-CX360 Camera. I've been importing off of Firewire with my older cameras. Now I face only being able to import with USB. It is not recognizing the camera. How do I import with this kind of camera and Final Cut Pro 6.0.6.? It works fine with iMovie.

Hi,
There are a couple of things I would do in your position .. first off make sure the camera is turned on and connected BEFORE I start FCP. another would be to run up system profiler and have a look in FireWire - and see (obviously with the camera connected) is it listed in there .. If not in effect the MAC is not seeing the camera and Failing that if it is a six pin on the camera connect to a six pin port .. I had issues with a Camera (Canon XHA1s) which the MAC Pro FireWire (8 pin) would not list the camera until I installed an two port 6 pin FireWire card .. It works every time now. Hope you get it sorted ..

How do I recover a lost Final Cut Pro X file?

Help! I was just working on a huge project Final Cut Pro when the computer completely froze, no spinning ball of death or anything. I'd already had one crash earlier, but that was just the typical "(Not Responding)" you might get when working on an entry level computer. On complete freeze crash, I couldn't get the computer to show any signs of response, so I finally hard reset it. I have an external screen running, and my projects are on an external hard drive. When I opened the computer and Final Cut Pro, my event was there, but there is no project to be seen. I can't find it anywhere. I've spent somewhere around 4 hours on this at the least, and hope I don't have to start the whole thing over, since I have a deadline. Is there any way to recover it? I looked at the other discussions, but I don't know where I would find the project file on my computer. I'm running Final Cut Pro X 10.2.2.

Never mind, I just figured it out. The open library from backup was greyed out a minute ago, now it worked though, and I have my project back. Whew! Just go to file/open library/from backup. You just have to have the library you want the backup of to be selected.

Does Final Cut Pro X support all video files as did its prior version Final Cut Pro Studio?

Hi,
Use to have a Mac Pro and had Fina Cut Pro Studio. Now I have just got a new Macbook Pro (Lion), and have just purchased the new Final Cut Pro X from the App store. I am having problems importing 3gps files into FCP X. I never had a problem with the $1000 version of studio. Does the new FCP X have limitations on what video files are compatible with it? do I need to purchase additional plug-ins etc???
Ta
Zeb

Really depends on the specific file type you want to work with. FCP X does not support every single flavor of video FCP 7 did, so it's not a huge surprise if the file you're using is not supported. That said, there's plenty of free third party tools you could use to convert it to a regular QuickTime ProRes file that FCP X would accept. For example- http://www.squared5.com/ would most likely be able to load it. Try and let us know. And if that doesn't work please provide more details about the 3gps file you're using.
