Can Final Cut Pro 7 be installed on more than one computer?

I am looking to purchase a Final Cut product, maybe Final Cut Pro 7, and wondering how many computers I can install the software on. I'm doing some basic video editing stuff for a sketch comedy team and we use more than one computer at times for editing.
Thanks

You can install on (1) Tower and (1) Laptop, as long as they are both used by you, and NOT at the same time. This is for when you edit on your tower, but then need to edit at home, or on the road. You cannot use one copy of FCP on multiple machines at the same time. You need one copy for each machine you intend to use at the same time.

Final Cut Pro 4.5 and Quicktime 7 compatibility issues. Error 39!

I see some people saying Quicktime 7 is not compatible with Final Cut 4.5 and some saying it is.
I upgraded to 10.3.9 and then Quicktime 7 and I started getting error 39 at this one spot in my timeline and then crashing if I tried to play just a few seconds ahead of that spot. I tried trashing the prefs but that didn't do any good. The individual files play fine outside the timeline so it isn't corrupt media. I tried rerendering the effects that are at that point but that didn't help. I tried copying the entire timeline to a new sequence and that didn't help.
The strange thing was that when I took the part of the movie that was having trouble and deleted it from the timeline it still got error 39 when just playing over the empty timeline where the media used to be! This led me to realize that the problem lay in some Quicktime audio effects I had about a second in front ot the error 39 spot. I took off the effects from that audio but it didn't help. Then I deleted that audio from the timeline and just pasted it back in from the original clip and then it finally got to working.
Now I know nothing about the software, but I thought there might be some connection between the fact that I had effects that FCP labels as "quicktime effects" on there from my days in Quicktime 6.5, then upgraded to Q7, and perhaps those old effects don't work in Q7? I don't know.
So, my immediate problem is solved but I thought this experience may be of use to someone else. And perhaps some compatibility issues can be brought to light.

I would assume the Software Update program has sufficient logic within it to detect that my friend is running Final Cut Pro 4.0 and it would therefore be disastrous to install QuickTime 7.3, thus removing QuickTime 7.3 from her list of suggested updates. Would someone at Apple please fix this?
Sorry, but Quicktime is a component for SO MANY things, not just FCP. Sorry, but the OS doesn't detect that older versions of software are on there and won't be compatible...this is where you need to have a little knowledge. And sorry, but you need to have a little knowledge. If things are working, DO NOT UPGRADE unless it has been tested and cleared. In the case of FCP 4...it has not.
Rule of thumb...if you use older software, you have to stick to older versions of the OS and components that that software relies on.
How many things were broken with Vista? So many that the HUGE community let out a cry and now XP is available again configured on machines or as a stand alone buy. And no, Vista didn't warn that certain applications wouldn't work either.
You gotta research and find out. This place here...this forum...is a FANTASTIC place to find stuff like this out.
BTW...Apple doesn't read these forums, only us users. Gotta submit feedback here:

Final Cut Pro 4.5 and Final Cut Express 3.0 - 5 minute captures then freeze

Something I have found with Final Cut Pro 4.5 and Final Cut Express 3.0.
After Updating to Tiger - 10.4.11 and Quicktime 7.4.1 - Both Pro 4.5 and Express 3.0 will not capture more then 5 minutes and 12 seconds. If you are having this issue the solution I used to fix both Pro and Express issues was an update on the software. Final Cut Pro 5 fixed the problem (or 6 if you can) and with Final Cut Express, version 3.5 fixed the issue but if you can go with FCX 4.
Let me know if this helped or if you have found a different solution. Downgrading the os might help but that is too much of a pain and it's time to upgrade the software anyway.

#29: Need AGP Graphics card
Shane's Stock Answer #29 – Error: “Need AGP Graphics card”
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302667
The Final Cut software is looking for a graphics card type that is required for that version of the software. FCP 4 and FCP 4.5 were released when AGP cards were the requirement. Attempting to open this on a Mac with a PCIe graphics card, such as an Intel Mac, will cause this error. FCP 4.5 is not supported on the Intel Macs. If you happen to have a PowerPC Quad processor Mac and get this error, you can try this hack:
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/feedback/finalcut_pro_on_oldmacs.html
You can also press the "esc" key as you launch FCP. This enables FCP to open and run, but know that it might not work optimally.
If that doesn’t work, or if you have an Intel Mac, you are going to have to upgrade to a supported version of FCP…and FCP 6, part of Final Cut Studio 2, is the latest version.

60 HOUR Movie! Can Final Cut Pro Handle My Movie??

Hi,
I'm currently working on an art film, which when completed will be around 60+ hours. My assumption is that I'll have to get an enormous external hard drive to store all the files + playback. I planned on playing the film off of the external drive through a laptop and then to a monitor. My question is can Final Cut Pro handle a film of this length if I have the storage, and can anyone see any issues I may encounter with the mentioned setup? Any advice, or insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

You aren't going to need an enormous external hard drive as in one - you are going to need several external hard drives. If you work with just about anything over DV you will need plenty of space.
FYI, we edit classes captured over the course of the semester. It is 40-50 hours of video captured in DV-NTSC format. It requires around 400-500GB of storage space per class. If you work in any format larger than DV-NTSC you will need much more storage space.
As per your question, Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 timelines only go up to 12 hours of video (or 6 hours for sequences with high audio rates). There isn't generally much of a need for anything more than that.

Can Final Cut Pro 7 be run on the New MacBook Air

Can Final Cut Pro 7 be run on the New MacBook Air (just for looking at footage and assembling a rough cut) or is the graphics processing inadequate? Also wondering the same about Photoshop CS5 and Aperture 3.1.3.
Thanks,

I have Final cut Pro HD sequence and I need to burn this on a DVD

I have Final cut Pro HD sequence and I need to burn this on a DVD, my sequence lasts 1 hr and 33 minutes. What are my options? Is it better to export as a Quick Time movie or using the compressor? I'm new to the compressor just learning, please help.

Select your sequence in the browser window, go to the File menu and choose Export Using Compressor.
When compressor opens, choose the DVD best quality settings, 120 minutes.
For audio and video both, choose both the m2v video and the AC3 audio. (Dolby Professional)
Choose a destination for your files, and hit submit.
When it's finished, import these files into your DVD SP project, and make your DVD.
Be sure to choose the 16:9 anamorphic settings.

Can final cut pro x remove vocals on mp3?

I want to Karaoke 'Try' by Dolly Parton on Blue Smoke as there are no available karaokes of it commercially, so I want to remove the vocals on the song but keep the musical arrangement. Can Final Cut Pro X do that? Thanks, GoDeAn

I don't know anything that can do that. If you find one can you let us know?

Are you using Mavericks. If so you should update FCPX

Final Cut Pro 5.1 and a Macbook

I am looking to buy Final Cut Studio. I was hoping to get some feedback on this question: Must you have a MacbookPro to run Final Cut Pro 5.1 (and the rest of Final Cut Studio), or will it run on a Macbbok without any problems? I would really like to hear from People who has actually have run Final Cut Pro 5.1 on a Macbook and what their experiences were. I know the Macbook does not have the ATI Mobilty Radeon X1600 graphics card like the MacBookPro does. So was that an issue for anyone?
Other OS

Here's Apple's official position: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303782
However, there are several people running most of the Studio Apps successfully ... except possibly Motion. With FCS2, chances are Color won't run either. You should be able to search here for similar postings; this topic comes up frequently.

I'm running OS X, but I can't run Final Cut Pro 1.0 and appropriate upgrade

I recently purchased a Macbook with OS 10.4.6 on it. I have Final Cut Pro 3, but I can only install it via FCP1 and upgrade to FCP2 and finally to FCP3. However, when I try to install 1.0, it says that this system cannot support it. I can't seem to figure out how to run Classic mode either.
So, my question is, what are my options to run this software? (I really do not want to purchase the newest software.) Also, I know someone who has FCP3 full version (not an upgrade); would it be possible to install this software and use one of the serial numbers from one of my other software disks? Any help would be great.
Thanks!

FCE is more limited but depending on your needs it might be fine
check out http://www.apple.com/finalcut
why do you feel you need to download an upgrade
after FCP 4 (3-4 years ago) you no longer needed an older version installed just the serial number as they discovered the problem that you are running into now

Can Final cut pro 7 and Final cut X live together

I just spoke to one of my friends who installed Final cut pro X and told me that it basically crushed his version of 7. My idea here was to install final cut X to start learning the new workflow and keep my version of Final cut 7 for compatibility issues. Question is can these two live together on the same machine?
Please note my friend is the type of guy that if he does not see the software icon in the dock it basically does not exist.
Thank you in advance everyone
