HT5149 Hi, I still have problems reinstalling Final Cut Pro even though I followed these steps. Didn´t find "com.apple.motionapp.plist" to remove though, but the others I found. Reason why I have to reinstall is because I have repaired my Macbook Pro hard

Hi, I still have problems reinstalling Final Cut Pro even though I followed these steps.
Reason why I have to reinstall is because I have repaired my Macbook Pro hard drive at a Mac Authorized Repair.
Short history of repair and my Final Cut Pro installation:
1. Macbook Pro stopped working, sendt it for repair. Had the Final Cut Pro installed,
2. Desided to try a MiniMac and recovered my backup with Time Machine, got the Final Cut Pro working.
3. Got my Macbook Pro back from repair, did backup on this one as well. But this time only the files not the Applications.
4. Removed the files as mentioned in HT5149. Didn´t find "com.apple.motionapp.plist" to remove though, but the others I found.
5. When I try to install Final Cut Pro from App Store, it downloads the application as planned. But after download it won´t show in the Application folder nor in the downloads folder, nor will it start an installation prosess. If I pause the installation in App Store, I can see the Final Cut Pro icon in my Dock. (But, as mentioned, after installation it won´t show neither here or in the Applications folder).
Any suggestions on what I should try now?
Thanks for any reply, I´m in deep water here...

Sounds like there is a file you're not getting. Never do a removal manually. It's so time consuming and a pain. There's a very easy and fast way to do this, safely, properly.
Get the free "Final Cut Remover" app from Digital Rebellion (dot com), use this to remove FCP X.
Reboot the Mac.
Download from scratch.
If you're not seeing FCP X in your app folder, run Disk Utility to Repair all drives.
If that doesn't help, try running Disk Warrior from Altsoft to repair the directories on all drives.

I have a 1st gen mac pro dual xeon nvidia geforce 7300, can i upgrade it?, I have a 1st gen mac pro dual xeon nvidia geforce 7300, can i upgrade it?

I have a Mac Pro 1st gen dual xeon 2Ghz with a Nvidia GE Force 7300 graphics card that i would like ti update to something newer and more performant. Can it be done?

mke52, is your MP an Intel machine? If so, you need to upgrade to Snow Leopard.
If not, 10.5.8 is the best you can do.
If you have Mactracker, it will give you all the upgrade combos for your model as sell as info on all Macs.
Its pretty interesting (and free)

I have been using Final Cut pro v6 without any problems but recently had to reinstall. Since then I can't open and view all my Quicktime clips. They appear white in timeline which means you can hear audio but not view picture. Any tips?

I have been using Final Cut Pro without any problems - v6 - for ages. I recently had a hardware issue and had to reinstall the software. Since then I can't open most of my QT clips in my fcp project. They appear as white clips - audio only no pictures. There are a few QT clips you can view as regular thumbnail images and they play ok. What's the issue? I have fcp v6.0.6 and QT v7. Any thoughts on what to do next?

Yes I did software updates which updated fcp to 6.0.6 and QT to version 7.7. That's as far as updates have taken me although i have requested daily updates. I forgot to say the clips don't play in QT view either. Again sound but no pictures when they are played.

I want to purchase a powerbook that will run a music program like MOTU or Pro Tools as well as run Final Cut Pro without being sluggish...any help?

I want to purchase a powerbook that will run a music program like MOTU or Pro Tools as well as run Final Cut Pro without being sluggish...any help?

The only way that would work out is if you ran exactly the versions that were made for old PowerBooks. Anything newer may require Intel and not run, or will strain the poor old G4 CPU.
Your needs have to be modest, too, because the problem with older music and video software is that they are not current as far as formats and codecs for the Web. If you want to output H.264, the current standard for YouTube/Flash video, older software may not support it, and in addition, H.264 is processor-intensive and is tailor-made for today's multi-core, 2+ GHz processors. It will overwhelm a G4. A PowerBook G4 can barely play YouTube videos.
More perspective: The PowerBooks worked great for miniDV format editing. In other words, 480i SD/standard definition video in use from the late 1990s to the late 2000s. If that is all you want to do, edit tape from an old miniDV camera to SD output, then OK.
But if you want to edit today's HD video, whether 720p from a snapshot camera/iPhone 4 or 1080p from a DSLR, the PowerBook and the software for it will either not recognize AVCHD/H.264, or it will slow the PowerBook to a dead crawl.
I'm in agreement with the above: Intel Macs have been out for so many years that getting a used one is a much better deal than a dead-end PowerBook. And I loved (still love) my PowerBooks.

Preparing my MBP to run Final Cut Pro

Hello,
Apologies if this question has been answered, I've searched for over an hour but can't find what I'm specifically looking for.
I would like to know what I need to upgrade / increase / expand on my MBP, in order to run Final Cut Pro and work with XDCAM and HDV source material.
Currently:
2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo.
2 Gb 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM
NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT, 256 Mb VRAM
From my research I think that I at least need to increase the RAM and get a big external hard disk to store the material.
Is there anything else I need to do?
I expect many people will say, buy a Mac Pro but we just don't have the budget! If it takes a long time to render then we just have to live with that.
Any advice much appreciated.

As for DIY I can not give you advise, I live in Europe but buying ram at the Apple store is maybe not the budget way.
I usually look here to install things yourself
http://eshop.macsales.com/tech_center/installation.cfm
There are for sure other/better sites but with the MBP installing extra ram is easy,
A 1TB will be more then enough, I would go myself for 2x500 GB firewire, this gives the option that when a job is finished and you don't need the media anymore you can sweep one of the drives completely.
Just my 2 cents

Will iMac G5 2.1 run Final Cut Pro 4.0.1

Tried to install and run Final Cut Pro 4.0.1 on my iMac G5 2.1ghz and it installed but would not run. I did get a message that read that some software or hardware was needed (AGB Graphics Card was listed in red) but I would think that the iMac had everything it needed. If you know if 4.0.1 should run or if the newer 5.0 will run on a std. off the shelf G5 iMac, please let me know?
Much Thanks
Greg J

Final Cut Studio will run on your iMac.
If he has the 1st gen iMac G5, it should run. If he has the ALS or the iSight, it won't.
He has the 2.1 GHz, so he should have the 1st gen, yes?
"Final Cut Pro 4 through Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 require a computer with an AGP video card for installation. PowerMac G5 (Late 2005) models (released October 19, 2005) and iMac G5 (iSight) models feature newer PCI Express video cards. Because of this, you can't install Final Cut Pro 4.x on these computers. Final Cut Pro 4.x is not supported on these computers."

What's the best Mac for running Final Cut Pro X?

Title says it all. What's the best Mac for running Final Cut Pro X? I'm not looking to make a feature length hollywood film. But I'd like to be able to edit video without lag.

Yes. Begin with the fastest processor / graphics card / and as much RAM as you can afford. (As all three will become obsolete over time.)
I started from scratch. I have a 27-inch iMac with a 3.4 G Intel Core i7. (currently the fastest processor for an iMac) I also ordered the best graphics card--AMD Ratheon HD. I ordered 16G of RAM, but recently added more RAM to equal 24G. (OWC makes good after-market RAM for iMACs.)
Last, I ordered a flash drive / SATA hard drive combo. (250G on flash / ITB on SATA). The OS and all of my applications run off the flash drive. (for fast start up!)
I put all of my media and FCP projects onto the SATA hard drive.
Now, I had the option to order a 2TB SATA. But, I realized I can always buy more external storage as I edit more and more projects. ALSO! FCPX is GREAT when it comes to editing projects on external drives! I can segregate an entire project and its media files onto a removeable drive. I simply launch FCPX, plug in the drive and--poof!--I'm ready to edit. It sees the project and the media right away. When I'm done editing, I can then send this drive to another editor (also using FCPX) or attach it to my MacBook if I want to edit the same project in the field.
This has worked for me. I wish you luck.

What kind of graphics card should i get to run final cut pro x on my 2008 mac pro?

What kind of graphics card should i get to run final cut pro x on my 2008 mac pro?

Hello Andres. I own an Early Mac Pro 2008, and have had the blessing of using both FCP X & Motion 5 for some time now. This is a pritty open question and it depends on your usage and the throughput nessesary to handle your work load. I can share what my set up is, & it may help you deside if this is enough power for you or help you move in another direction. Keep in mind that the buss speed and cpu are a big part of helping FCP X more so than the video card, although the video card does come into play here as well. Now if you are wanting to run Motion 5 as well, the video card is Almost Everything, and you need the biggest and best situation here that the throughput on this system will except. I'm running 14 gig of system ram, and the video card is an ATI Radeon 5870. For FCP X, running 1920x1280p footage optimised in pro-res 422, she can move along with some render time nessesary when dropping on the timeline, also filters, transistions, titles ex, have a bit of a laps time to render, but then she runs ok. This wait is not as much of a challenge with this set up as with Motion. I need a much bigger gpu on the video card for this app. Not sure if this computers throughput is really worth the upgrade. Beleive this though, Motion is demanding on using ALL you can give it. It is a Genious App, and it also calls for ALL THE POWER YOU CAN GIVE HER IN A VIDEO CARD. Conclution: if you are just starting which it sounds like, even a smaller video card than this can work For FCP X. Make sure you have at least 8 gig of cpu ram. 12 or more will help here. Also make sure the card is OpenCL compadible.....& this is in the thread above,,,,,,,,

I have recently downloaded final cut pro and i'm unable to access cinema tools. I understood this would be a free addition when purchasing FCPX?

Thanks for responding Tom. Yes I was trying to conform frame rates, I found a few threads/youtube tutorials that all used cinema tools. Now I've spent some time in FCPX I can see where you can conform.
Appreciate your help.

Could I run Final Cut Pro 10.1.3 on Mavericks DP 2

Could I run Final Cut Pro 10.1.3 on Mavericks DP 2

Curiously, this picture I can see :-)
The dialog is quite normal. It just means what it says, namely, there is not enough extra media at the edges of the clips (so called "handles") to be used for the transition, so FCP X needs to shorten some of those clips to create the handles - thus the total length of your timeline will decrease.
But the fact that the transition appears as black in the browser, and that it is not applied, show that there is definitely something wrong.
Since these default transitions are installed as part of the application itself, I believe the best course of action is to delete FCP X (use FCS Remover to completely remove all traces of the application), and then install afresh from the purchases section of the App Store.

HT4722 HI THERE, I HAVE LOST MY FINAL CUT PRO X SERIEL NUMBER. I HAVE DOWNLOADED THE SOFTWARE FROM INTERNET. HOW CAN I GET IT BACK?

I have lost my final cut pro x serial number. I have bought the software from Internet. How can I get it Back ?

FCPX has no serial number. You download it and buy it from App Store only. Where from did you buy it if not from AppStore.

Can my MacBook Pro run Final Cut Pro X fine?

Hi,
I was wondering if I can run Final Cut Pro X fine in my mid-2010 MacBook Pro? I am looking to get the software simetime this year. The specs are in my signature (the GPU is an nvidia 330m with 256mb of VRAM).
Has anyone run FCPX in the Core i5 mid-2010 MacBook Pros? If so, hows the experience in terms of performance?
Many thanks!

You should be OK with an i5 machine but there seem to be many variables in how well each machine works. here's a thread you should look at:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3726332?tstart=0
Also, if you go to the app store and look on the FCX page you will find the specs.

HT5149 If I have already purchased Final Cut Pro X on a computer, is there any way for me to get it onto another computer of mine?

If I have already purchased Final Cut Pro X on a computer, is there any way for me to get it onto another computer of mine?

Yes. Log into the Mac App Store with the Apple ID used to buy it and then download it from the Purchases tab.

Way to stop NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT graphics card from running?

I have 2 graphics cards in my Power Mac G5, one is a NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT graphics card which i believe came with it, the other is a NVIDIA GeForce 6600. The problem I have is that the NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT card makes a horrible fan noise, and I am looking for a way to unplug it, or cut it off from the power supply safely. Any advise is welcome.

Here is a sample video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkMGFyB8wig&feature=related
Keep in mind that video cards have an extra tab at the tail end so don't forget to gently push the tab to the side.
The video card fans typically plug into power pins on the video card so removal of the card will expose the connection. Otherwise, just follow the fan power leads.
