How to remove Final Cut Studio content, extras, etc?

Hi,
I want to say that I do not want to delete the apps. What I want to do is only remove the extra content.
Essentially, I installed the entire Final Cut Studio on my MacBook Pro and am realizing I should not have done the complete install (eats up hard drive like no tomorrow).
So.. any / all advice would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!

In Motion, open the Motion preferences found in the Motion menu... on the front page you see the path names to templates and livefonts... If you remove them, you could place them on another drive like a FW drive... and access them that way.
In Livetype, The media files are located in Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/LifeType/Templates. You could move them, then add their new location to the window that opens when you select LiveType's Preferences. Then LT will look for templates in this new location.
In DVD SP, the location of styles and templates is near the same path as in LiveType, however in the DVD SP folder. To reset them to a new location, the preferences for DVD SP you can change the location of where DVD SP looks for these...
I'd not want to lose them altogether, but you won't hurt anything doing so... I'd put them on an external drive and reset where the various apps look for them, and if all is well, delete the originals...

Anyone know how to uninstall Final Cut Studio?

I've attempted 3 installs and at the very end it says there were errors (of course, it doesn't say what errors), and to try again. Well, after 20+ hrs. into this I think it's time to start with a clean slate. But I can't find anything online on how to uninstall Final Cut Studio. I found several links to some mysterious document 93150, but apple's site doesn't have it anymore. Yeah, my luck.
If anyone could help me on this, you're sure to get lots of good karma this weekend, maybe even into the week.
thanks,

Yeah, the Knowledge Base documents to uninstall FCP 4 or higher no longer exist. (only the doc for FCP 3 exists) That being said, the Troubleshooting Basics for Final Cut Pro 5 document does detail how to trash receipts and reinstall. Haven't needed to try it myself (knocking on wood) but I take it you've have and it still hasn't worked out for you?
What, exactly, is prompting all of these installs?

How can i remove final cut studio 7?

I would like to completely remove the installation of Final Cut Studio 7.0.3 from my start-up drive prior to upgrading the FCPX 10.0.3; what is the best practice to remove all of its apps prior to installing/upgrading via the App Store?

Thank you Shane,
Although I consider your BEST practice much like cutting off your head to get rid of the headache the Second best solution appears to have worked just as well.

Uninstalling Final Cut Studio 1 Extras

I am on a 1st-gen MacBook Pro with a 100 GB hard drive that filled up quite quickly. I am looking to remove some unnecessary features so as to clear up as much space as possible.
I'm running Final Cut Studio 1 (Academic Version) and remember that when I first installed it, I installed a ton of optional material (tutorials/templates, etc.) for the programs included with Final Cut Studio. What is the best way to go about removing this extra junk off my hard drive? I think it will clear up a lot of space.
Thanks!

Go to the Library>Application Support>Final Cut Studio folder. Inside you will find the additional content for FCS; Soundtrack Pro loops, Motion & DVDSP content, etc.

General Overview on How to use Final Cut Studio to create a Blu-Ray DVD

I am a new user of Final Cut Studio and need an experienced user to give my a progression guide on how to create a Blu-Ray DVD of my recent Alaska Trip. Last month I spend 8 days in Alaska visiting Denali and Juneau primarily. During that time I took about 100 short video clips (HD 1080p) and 570+ still photos with my Canon 7D. I have experimented with some pieces of the software and have created a Blu-Ray disk using Final Cut Pro and Compressor. However my goal is to create this DVD with menus that will play short clips (some narrated) and still photos(also some narration). I did a short one in DVD Studio Pro this morning but need some general guidance on what progression and programs to use to create this project. I was not able to take my video from the Studio Pro Sequence I created for my 1st DVD I had to take the original clips which were processed using Apple ProRes 422 and copy them in one at a time and then find the audio (on the voice overs) I created and also place them into DVD Studio Pro one at a time. I obviously need some guidance on the proper progression.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's the situation...
DVD Studio Pro will not do the trick for you - it doesn't do blu-ray discs. If you want to do Blu-ray you've got to use either Final Cut Pro's "Export" command or Compressor's "Burn Blu-ray disc" template. The downside to both of these approaches is that you can't burn more than one title (or movie, etc.) using Final Cut Studio.
To do what you want to do, you need Toast (at least). Toast will auto-generate menus but will let you put more than one title per slide (so you can put multiple slideshows on the same disc).
If you want to do full-on customizing of menus and multi-level menus, for that you need Adobe's Encore.
My suggestion - Get Toast. Encore is close to $800.
Here's your progression (at least the one I use).
Edit in Final Cut Pro (ProRes 422 is fine, ProRes 422 LT would do the trick as well)
Export as QuickTime movies (original settings)
In Compressor using the H.264 for Blu-ray setting and Dolby Digital setting and create elementary streams for video (.264 file) and audio (.ac3). Make sure these files have identical names except for the extension.
Using toast, add the video file to the Toast project and it'll find the audio file.
Burn away!

How long does final cut studio crossgrade mail take?

Hey there, forgive me if this is the wrong place to ask this.
I sent in my final cut studio discs with filled out form in about 4 days ago regular mail.
I scanned the discs before i sent them off and of course I still have my paperwork (serials) and all that.
What bothers me is that I check the status and there is no record of it.
there is also a field that is required for "company" and I dont have a company name so I have no idea if this is screwing up the whole look up.
Anyway, its probably that they havent recieved my discs yet, since 4 days isnt very long.
BUT, can anyone clue me in on how long it took to get their universal versions nial cut studio?

It took mine almost 2 weeks. It took almost a week for mine to show up on the status and when it did, it said backordered. Stayed that way for 4 or 5 days, then got an e-mail saying they had been shipped. Got them this past Saturday.
Company name doesn't matter. I didn't fill in one on the original form and didn't when used the status form.

I want a brand new Jaguar and a 4000 acre ranch in Wyoming. But just like in your case, it ain't gonna happen.
You'll either need to upgrade the software or downgrade the OS.

Advice How to Ugrade Final Cut Studio 5.04 5.1?

Has anyone written anything on how to update my FCS Final Cut Studio 5.0.4 to 5.1?
I received my 5.1 replacement disks today (and not looking forware to the chore).
Do I uninstall (trash what folders?) and run the 5.1 disks?
Any tips will be greatly appreciated...

Finally got around to running 5.1 crossgrade (with my 5.0x still in place) -- appears seamless -- I just started the #1 install disk and followed all the instructions -- it didn't even ask for the serial...

Removing Final Cut Studio

I currently have an academic version of Final Cut Studio 2 and have purchased a new academic version of FCS 3.
Question: Must I first uninstall the old Studio 2, and if so what is the best way? Has anyone used the Digital Rebellion FCS remover?

Question: Must I first uninstall the old Studio 2.
You do not need to uninstall FCS2 in order to install FCS3. All the relevant application files will be overwritten upon installation of the new version. Also consider the fact that FCS2 has Live Type.app which is not included with FCS3 so if you remove all of FCS2 by installing fresh from OS then you will lose Live Type.app. Most of Live Type/s features have been migrated into Motion 4, but if you're used to working in the Live Type application then it's something to consider when installing the new application.
If you create disk images of the application DVD's then you will be installing from the disk images on a hard drive instead of reading the DVD's. This will cut the installation time down to about 1/2 hour vs. 90 mins. from DVD installation. Also you won't have to stick around to wait for the DVD to install and manually remove and insert the next DVD in the drive. You simply open the disk images and run the installation then come back in a half hour and it's all done automatically. If you've done this with all your application disks besides FCS3 then it would hardly take a week to reinstall from scratch as you've suggested. It's also recommended to backup your application disks to disk images anyway just like any other files you have... What would you do if you lost or damaged your FCS3 installation DVD's without disk image backups?

How well does Final Cut Studio run with 3gb of ram? Macbook Pro 2.33mhz

I have a 2.33mhz (Model a1211) Macbook Pro. I've maxed out the ram to 4gb but because of the motherboard restrictions (that I still don't quite understand) it can only use 3GB.
I've read on the FCS specs that the minimum is requirement is 1GB but Apple recommends 4GB.
I cut mainly short 3 to 5 minute pieces with AVCHD video decoded with up to 60-90 minutes of footage.
Will I have any serious issues with any of the Final Cut Studio Programs that I should be aware of?
I'm obviously not expecting Mac Pro results but If it doesn't run very well with 3GB, I might have to rethink my purchase. If it is just a "hiccup" now and then with waiting for video to start or such, I will deal.
Thanks
Bryan

Motion is gfx intensive. Meaning that the lower the gfx card, the lower the performance. You should expect little-to-no realtime performance from Motion on the system mentioned with even basic-to-remotely-intermediate animations. CPU RAM will make a difference in the amount of total frames that you can render in a RAM preview, but it will not affect realtime performance. With your proposed system: add a particle, a lower third text, a replicator with 5,000 points, a light with some shadows, and a reflection (and this is one of each mind you, not multiple instances) and expect around a * less than * 1-3 fps playback in draft quality with %50-%25 playback resolution. Then expect to wait up to a minute or more with the beachball of death for each parameter change. No joke either. Good luck fine-tuning your moderate-to-even-remotely-complex animation with your desired system.
If working in Motion is your desire, then focus on the graphics card. Unfortunately you can not upgrade your gfx card on the MBP, so you should consider selling your MBP and investing in a Mac Pro. You can upgrade the gfx card in the Mac Pro and obtain optimal performance from Motion. Otherwise you'll literally be stuck in the mud with your animations.

How to install final cut studio on yosemite?

Guys,
Before I start my next video project, I want to do a clean install of Yosemite and also a clean install of Final Cut Studio with FCP 7. I'm running a Mac Pro, 2.26 quad core (2009).
What's the best way to do this?
I know some people have had problems installing FCP7 on Yosemite. Just to play it safe, I'm currently partitioning my drive and will install a boot version of Yosemite to try the FCS install on. If all goes well, I'll totally wipe the drive and install Yosemite.
If things don't work out, I'll wipe the partition and stick to Mavericks.

Insert the DVD.
Click on the installer package.
Follow the on screem instructions.
