How works final cut studio with lion?

how works final cut studio with lion?

The thing to take from FCPX is that it isn't an update/upgrade from 7. It's an entirely new editor. As a professional video editor myself for 5 years, I felt just as hesitant as you when I first saw what Apple had done. However, I committed myself to biting the bullet for a little while to get comfortable with the new workflow, and I can vouch for Apple's new move toward this type of setup. It has improved my workflow enough to where I can confidently say I deliver projects, on average, in half the time, with no sacrifice to quality.
Give it another chance, if you can afford it. With a bit of training, and time into using it, you'll see it's a superior editor to FCP 7

  • Is Final Cut Studio with Final Cut Pro 5 still relevant and usable?

    Is Final Cut Studio with Final Cut Pro 5 still relevant and usable? I bought it about four or five years ago and never started learning it, but would like to start learning editing now. Thanks.

    That is the version I have. What formats can I work with in FCP 5.1. For example, can I edit movies from my Nikon Coolpix 7900 point and shoot that is about five years old? My Panasonic DV camera that is also about five or six years old? Will I be able to burn these types of footage to disc once edited and watch them on a DVD player. Thanks for your former replies.

  • How is final cut studio 7 working with lion

    I am still in snow leapard, 10.6.8 and useing Final Cut Studio 7 and Logic 9, i have been considering moving to  Lion and looking for some feed back on the compatability of FCP7 and Logic 9 with LION, for the past few months the word on the street has been mixed, it is now mid jan 2012 is there any clear info on the compatablity of these programs with lion?

    What are the benefits you perceive in moving from SL to Lion? Some people report FCS problems and others don't.
    If you do move, clone your systems drive…just in case.
    Good luck.

  • Integration of Apple Final Cut Studio with 3D Animation Programmes

    Dear all,
    I would like to know which 3D Animation programmes for Macintosh have the ability to integrate with Apple Final Cut Studio 2 or vice versa. It's very important to design a 3D model with camera animation and import the scene -AS IS- into Motion or Shake.
    - Which are the best practises followed?
    - Which method appears to be more professional?
    All responses are more than welcome.
    Thank you in advance,
    Lazaro

    Apple uses nothing more than Quicktime/Compressor to encode those videos. Compressor that comes with Final Cut Pro give a little more control to the video footage to ensure better quality. But, Compressor doesn't add to the quality of h.264 encoding. Compressor uses the same setup as Quicktime Pro.
    And even if they use hardware base equipment to encode these videos. It's only for the fast encoding that hardware encoders can give you. I read something on the internet a few months back from the guy who encodes these videos for Apple. He stated that he uses Compressor and Quicktime for the encoding.
    Here is the answer to why these video look amazing. Not only these videos, Apple also encodes the movie trailers on their site. The secret is, they are given the best and I mean best quality originals to start with... Videos shot on $25,000-$100,000+ cameras. And the trailer footage given to them by the movie companies are hi-end transfers from film.
    We could sit here and debate on what Apple actually does to encode these video. But the bottom line is to start by using the best footage you can obtain. And then go from there...

  • Final cut express with Lion

    I had to replace my Hard Drive on my iMac and had Lion installed then I reinstalled FCE and it  won't work at all. Is it because FCE won't work as a new install with Lion? Do I need to get the new version of Final Cut?

    The FCE installer needs Rosetta, which is not part of Lion.  Also, FCE itself is not supported on Lion (FCE was discontinued last June when FinalCutPro-X was released.)
    I'd suggest moving on tto Final Cut Pro X.  Yes, it's a whole new learning curve, but there are good resources available including Izzy Video's free Final Cut Pro X tutorial course.

  • I want to use Final Cut Pro with Lion?

    I have FCP 6.0.6 and Lion on MacBook Pro. Can't open FCP.

    What happens when you try to open it?
    Use Disk Utility to repair your system disk permissions.
    Download (free) Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion -

    and trash your FCP preferences.

  • How does Final Cut Studio run on a MacBook ?

    Anyone installed it, and able to give comments & performance comparisons ?

    Then no PC card addition 800 FW port or additional port ever... Nevertheless, you could still do DV and lower data rate stuff, however RT will be limited by FW 400, and you'll have to be careful about looping FW 400 devices. Use a known FW drive that loops your camera/deck's FW imput without a hitch. There's several out there that will not do this well. Look at Weibetech, Granite Digital or G-Tech drives, I know they work OK looping DV signals thru them.
    I think I'd want a MacBook Pro for FCP myself, at least it's certainly worth the difference in price from the new MacBook...

  • How's Final Cut Studio on a stock MacBook Pro?

    say the 15"er.
    anyone doing it? ok, or just FCP?

    unless you're rich and can afford the 17 the 15 is great. I love mine, like a son. Some one should kick Unsanity and get them to make all their appz universal, i had to uninstall shapeshifter to use CS2 etc. But yea, it is so flipin powerful, went to throw the feature i am cutting into idvd for a quick screener and BOOM it riped through it on best quality (i usually leave it on over night, it took maybe and hour or so.)

  • How different when i5 and i7 work with Final Cut Studio?

    27-inch models only, one of the following:
    2.66GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 processor with 8MB shared L3 cache; Turbo Boost dynamic performance up to 3.2GHz
    2.8GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor with 8MB shared L3 cache; Turbo Boost dynamic performance up to 3.46GHz; Hyper-Threading for up to eight virtual cores
    May I get the "up to 2.3x faster performance with Final Cut Studio" with i5?
    Thanks advanced.

    It looks very convincing to pay more for i7. Thanks a lot.
    I agree, and also get 8G or more of RAM like Switch900 suggests. You can save money on that by buying it from a third-party vendor.

  • 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.

  • ANY luck with final cut studio 5 and quickktime 7?

    what is the deal with quicktime 7? I am constantly reading about problems with it. I want to upgrade to Final Cut Pro 5 and quicktime 7, but am afraid to because of all the issues Ive been reading about. There are many different issues... but the common denominator is that they all seem to be related to quicktime 7.
    Here is my question:
    Is ANYONE out there running final cut studio with the latest version of quicktime 7 with NO Problems? If i get enough yes answers, I may just go ahead and upgrade. If not, Im definitley going to wait until these problems are fixed, or for the next versions to come out. Thanks in advance...

    i know that fcp 5 requires quicktime 7...right now i have final cut 4.5 hd with quicktime 6.5.2......im just trying to get an idea of how many people have final cut 5 with quictime 7 with no problems, and how many may be having problems. If there are too many people with problems, i was going to wait until the next version of final cut and quicktime come out before i upgrade. I was hoping for a few more responses. Thank you both very much for your response.. anyone else?

  • Latest Final Cut Studio Won't Install On G4 Powermac.

    I have a friend with a dozen or so Macs!
    He has just purchased Final Cut Studio with a multiple use licence and installed it on his G5 Powermac successfully but it won't install on his G4 because the "standard" video card is not up to it (according to an Apple compatibility checker that he downloaded).
    The obvious solution, that Apple would certainly approve, is for him to spend a further £150 on a new card.
    However, is there a hack he could use to get it to work with the old one?
    Ian.

    Aw, Jim: you're too kind!
    ..I'm (still) just a know-nothing newbie! [..I hang out with the unmentionables, over at iMovie Discussions..]
    Well, I've been to Holland, dawdling thro' the dykes ..and I've been playing with my HDV cameras - silly me: I upgraded from FCP3 to FCP HD 4.5, but - of course! - it didn't do HDV, so now I'm just waiting for my "cross-grade" universal FC Studio to arrive, so that I can play with DVD SP, as well as edit HDV 'natively'. (..I upped to a quad G5, as the wait for imports to transcode into the 'Intermediate Codec' was just too, too mind-numbingly -s-l-o-w- ..and exports took 10x real-time on my G4 Mac mini/PowerBook/whatever.)
    But I'm typing this on an FCP multi-coloured keyboard (..or, I should say "Mark IN, Next Edit, Marker, spacebar, Track Tool, Render Quality/Toggle, Pen Tool, Mark IN, Snapping/Toggle, Edit Selection, spacebar, Track Tool, Hand Tool, Mark IN, Slip/Slide", etc, as you aficionados would know it..) so I am really trying..
    Whenever I see a picture of dear old Albert, or read about him, or watch a video clip or impersonation of him, I always think about your glimpse of "the patent clerk" at Princeton long ago..
    ..meanwhile: back in 2006; I've got a big cheese-grater, nice fast hard discs, and am waiting for my raid controller to arrive (to run these two 10,000 rpm 'Raptors' ..the 72GB ones, which do work inside an Apple, unlike - apparently - the later ones..) [why can't they have more genteel names, like 'Daisies' or 'Flowerpots'?] ,,and I have all this footage to finish..
    I've still got to complete shooting, and cutting, a TV programme about (..ssshh; don't want to say..) but I'm pretty much determined to do it all in iMovie HD ..just as a matter of principle ..though what that principle is, I'm not sure ..maybe "This program should be good enough for anything!" ..though I may cheat when it comes to colour-correction, or something equally obscure or abstruse ..or do I mean insecure and ostrich?
    Good to speak/write with you..
    OK: now go ahead and click 'Report this post' ..see if I care, you snooty genii who can actually make sense of and use FCP.. ..
    EDIT: removed a bracket; one too many - doh!
    Edit: Just added another one, as there was one missing ..darn this punctuation..

  • Upgrading Final Cut Studio

    I have Final Cut Studio with FCP 5 and Motion 2 can I upgrade it to FCP 6 and Motion 3?
    I see where the Apple Site has a Final Cut Studio upgrade which includes FCP 6 and Motion 3 will it work?
    For some reason I have not been able to get my Motion 2 to work which messes up my entire editing process with FCP on a project I am working on. I have reinstalled the original disks but no luck.
    I am thinking that upgrading to the next possible "free" upgrade for Final Cut Studio might work and make my Motion 2 (upgraded to Motion 3) functional.
    I would appreciate any suggestions I can get.

    What you said is exactly what I am worried about. I found a FCP 6 download on Apple's site. If comes with FCP5 and Motion 3 but I do not know if it will blow up my system which is:
    Machine Name: iMac G5
    Machine Model: PowerMac8,2
    CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (3.0)
    Number Of CPUs: 1
    CPU Speed: 2 GHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
    Memory: 512 MB
    Bus Speed: 667 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: 5.2.5f1
    I don't know much about the "technical" aspect of the machine, it is just that I need my FInal Cut Studio to work and it won't because something happened to Motion and it WILL NOT UPLOAD from the original disks which I have. So I thought maybe FCP6 and Motion 3 would work better for me.
    My I MAC IS NOT AN INTEL but I really don't know what it is!

  • Where can I buy Final Cut Studio?

    I have been searching everywhere, but I can't find Final Cut Studio with Final Cut 7 in it.  Anyone know where I could buy this?  I would love to buy it from Apple, but I can't find it anywhere. 

    Discontinued.
    Call the Apple online store. A few months ago they still had a few copies for sale by telephone only.
    Maybe you will get lucky.
