HT5958 Existing projects will not update and are not available for Final Cut Pro 10.1.1?

I have updated to Final Cut 10.1.1 but existing projects from previous version will not update and are not available.  Have tried to re-install Final Cut as well as bring the projects to another computer which has the update, but they still will not update.  Has anyone else encountered this problem and is there anyone who can assist?

In the Finder take a look at the path where your old projects and events are stored. They should be in Final Cut Projects and Final Cut Events folders respectively. Those folders need to be in Users/user/Movies on the boot drive and/or at the root level of other drives for FCPX to see them.
If that's indeed the case, then you should be able to get them updated ny using the Update Projects and Events command form the File menu and then clicking on Locate.

  • Update not available for Final Cut Pro X

    My dad installed Final Cut Pro for me in 2010-2009, and we later updated it to Final Cut Pro X in 2012. I'm 16 now, and I use the app a lot to splice and add effects for visual media and such.
    My dad downloaded Yosemite recently, and now it wont let me use FCPX anymore. I have version 10.0.6, which is apparently too old to run on the system anymore!
    I thought I'd just go update it, but there was no update available on the Mac App Store. I searched the app store for FCPX, and found it available for its regular price, even though the app is already installed. I wanted to do the re-download trick a lot of people are talking about, but it wont show up in my purchases section either. I check my father's account for the purchase as well, and it was still missing.
    I dont feel like we got FCPX off the app store originally. My dad claims he may have downloaded a bootleg originally, but I dont think that makes sense if we were able to update it before to X, and the loading screen states that the application was licensed to my father.
    Any ideas?

    I've tried logging into both accounts, and the content is not there. I may ask if theres possibly another account to check though.

  • I need to remove a rig/wires from my final cut pro 7 project.  Can Apple Motion 4 remove wires/rig?  Are there any rig removal plugins for final cut pro?   Thanks!

    I need to remove a rig/wires from my final cut pro 7 project.  Can Apple Motion 4 remove them?  If not can anyone recomment any plugins for Final Cut Pro or Motion that can remove them.  Thanks!!

    In Motion 5 there is a plugin from CoreMelt called "SliceX" that does this.  But I don't know anything in Motion 4 that will do it.  You may get more help posting in the appropriate "Final Cut Studio" section of this forum.

  • Following Media Files Are Not Optimized For Final Cut Pro

    I'm sure you've seen this before and I've tried to search for a thread on it here and fell asleep, so sorry if this is a repeat.
    I have edited projects in Premiere Pro (on my PC) and I have tried to transfer them in FCP. It worked with the exception of two things:
    1. the error message, "Following Media Files Are Not Optimized For Final Cut Pro"
    2. the quality *****! watching it on the playback in FCP it looks great, but then when I burn it to Disc it's pixelated in spots and generally has a lower quality picture.
    I know that it's Standard Def. and can't expect the best, but I've done it before (once or twice) and it didn't seem this bad.
    Can someone suggest anything to help the quality? Should I run my AVIs through MPEG Steamclip to make it a QT file and if so what is the best format in that since there are many to choose from and most I'm not familiar with?
    Thank you,
    Crayton

    I did compress them to DV NTSC then burned it to DVD and the result was no bueno.
    I thought what I would do is try compressing them again before I send them on over to DVDSPRO. Here is a simplified break down of the situation:
    - I have edited the raw footage in Premiere Pro on my PC. They were recorded and captured as SD.
    - I rendered them in Premiere, then transfered the rendered AVI file to FCP.
    - When went to place the files in FCP, I received the warning message; "Following Media Files Are Not Optimized For Final Cut Pro" but I went forward anyways and it allowed me to do so.
    - Originally I went ahead and compressed them from FCP to QT Movie as a DV NTSC, which ended up poorly.
    - Therefore my question is, should I compress them using another file type (other then DV NTSC)? Which leads me to another program that I have called MPEG Streamclip, which offers tons of file types of which I am unfamiliar with most. I want the best quality of course but don't know what file type is the highest going from AVI to a format that can be accepted by FCP and ultimately DVDSPRO. Keeping in mind that I only have FCP5 and do not have Prores.
    Did that make sense?
    Thank you again,
    Crayton

  • I have an 20 inch Imac 2,4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and I want to introduce Final Cut Pro X into the machine, can I change the Vieodcard ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB, into a more suitable videocard? Or is that not possible?

    I have an 20 inch Imac 2,4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and I want to introduce Final Cut Pro X into the machine. Can I change the present Videocard ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB, into a more suitable videocard? Or is that not possible? I have upgraded the memory to 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.

    The GPU in a iMac is NOT upgradeable.
    You should check to see if your model of iMac meets the minimum specs to run FCPX.
    I believe that your GPU is NOT OpenCL capable, and hence not supported.
    Even if it works, you would probably get marginal performance.
    What you can do is download the trial version and see how (and if) it works.

  • Update for Final Cut Pro 6.0.1

    Hi helpful folks,
    I just installed Final Cut Pro 6.0.1 on my MacBook Pro. I work at a post production facility, and all the other guys in the shop are running 6.0.4. I was told that what I installed was the same thing everyone else installed. So I ran Software Update. It searched and installed updates for LiveType, DVD Studio, and several other programs. But did not come back with update results for Final Cut Pro. I installed the other programs, restarted, and have since run Software Update three more times. It claims everything is up to date. But obviously 6.0.1 is not the latest version. Any thoughts?

    The update to 6.0.5 (6.0.4 is not available from apple any longer) is included in a Pro Apps update or something titled along those lines. It is not named "FCP update".
    It can be found here:

  • Student Help advice! what is best iMac model for Final Cut Pro and logic pro

    Hi
    I am currently looking into getting a iMac, but is toggling to device if I need a 27inch or a 21inch(top model),which will be used for Final Cut Pro and logic
    There is a lot of money being invested iMac, and I really not want to be stu k with a computer that not going to keep up with the amount of work load in the future.
    The specs that I have on mine are..
    21inch 
    Upgrades include
    Sdd drive 512gb
    Intel core i7
    16gb of ram
    Or
    27 inch
    Upgrades
    Fusion drive or sdd 250gb
    Intel core i7
    (Possible graphic card) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2GB GDDR5 [+ £105.60]
    (Ram is way to expensive so will buy from second party)
    Anyone who has brought a iMac for final cut or logic what would you likely buy?..Am really stuck on the hard drives between the 27inch fusion and 512gb on the 21inch
    My budget is £1900
    My fear is that the 21inch top model's graphic card may not be good enough for advance editing on Final Cut Pro In the future when I start to get more deep into editing..logic really only needs 8gb to run smoothly..buts its the final cut specs that am having problems deciding. I know iMacs are not future proof or technology lasts for that matter, but I do expect to have it run good for a number of years before I upgrade again.
    If anyone can give me some advice, or even tell me about there set up they have for media work please let me know.

    All kinds of things affect system & HD performance, I can't tell you why your 4 year old Mac is slow.  Just because your old Mac is slow doesn't mean that a new iMac will be equally slow.
    You are correct about the issue with the smaller fusion drives.  It's one of the reasons I am not high on recommending them.  Everyone thinks they want power & performance but don't understand the gap between marketing and real life performance.  The 1TB fusion drive however should give you a good combination of rapid access and sizeable storage capacity.
    I have used external FW800 / 7200rpm drives for years and have never had a problem with any of them.  I consider them very reliable but admittedly I DO NOT use consumer drives like the WD MyBook that the big-box stores sell.   For the most part I assemble my own with OWC Mercury Elite enclosures.  In the past few years I have centered on WD Caviar Black and WD Scorpio Black drives.  I also have some Seagate Barracuda 7200.xx drives.  They all perform excellently and reliably.
    Pls. refer to my earlier post for what i recommended to you.

  • Code for Final Cut Pro 2 not being accepted by FC Studio 2

    I upgraded to OS X 10.4.11 from 10.4.2. The FC Studio 2 icon would bounce a few times and stop, but nothing else would happen. 10.4.2 was reinstalled, erasing everything. An attempt was made at starting FCP 2, but the OS is not finding the files necessary in OS 9.
    Upgrades Final Cut Pro 4 and FC Studio 2 were made since purchasing FCP 2 as a full package approximately 7 years ago, but FC Studio 2 is not accepting the code for Final Cut Pro 2. How do I correct the problem short of buying the full FC Studio 2 or buying a new hard drive?
    Thank you.

    It doesn't make sense to me either. As Thomas stated, the crossgrade that required you to send in your old FCP install disc was for Final Cut Studio version 1 (which included FCP 5.1) - NOT version 2. And regardless of the fact that you sent in your install disc, you should still have the serial number for FCP 4. It was printed on two stickers that were attached to the "Installing Your Software" booklet that was included when you purchased FCP 4 (upgrade or full retail versions).
    There is NO need to have the old software installed in order to install and upgrade to FCS 1 or 2. All you need is the serial number form the older version; you'll be prompted to enter it during the install process for FCS 1 or 2.
    FCP 2 may install on an OSX version, but will NOT run on ANY OSX version - it only runs on a full installation of OS 9.

  • What other programs are for Finale Cut Pro

    What other programs are for Finale Cut Pro?
    Like added transisions and such.

    Start out here where you'll find tons of top quality FREE plugins made by some very creative folks.
    http://www.fcp.co/forum/9-free-fcpx-plugins-and-templates
    The only "must-have" plugins I'd recommd are "Slice X" by CoreMelt, and "Nattress Levels & Curves" from Noise Industries (FX Factory).
    Everything else is just eye candy.
    I advise my students to not buy plugin until you actually need them for a paying job, and have that work pay for it.

    Even though it says 4 GB RAM recommended, I think most experience users woild say 8 GB and up is the real minimum.
    Can't answer the Avid question.

  • What is the cost for Final Cut Pro if I don't have a previous version to update?

    What is the cost for Final Cut Pro if I don't have a previous version to update? I see the $299 price for updates.
    What is the brand new purchase price?

    Thanks so much. Yes I was thinking on the lines of PwnySlaystation's response.
    I appreciate the help.
    Will this new version run on OS 10.6.8?
    Thanks for the help.

  • While downloading the free trial for Final Cut Pro X my internet has dropped out many times. It does however seem to continue ok each time it reconnects. Will this affect the software when it finishes? Is this a problem? Any advice please?

    This has happened to me with a few downloads without any upsets.
    You should be OK.
    As I recall the download is around 1.2 gig so it takes a bit of time and effort to get it to your system.

    Perhaps Kaz-k can say for sure what's involved in upgrading from 5.0 to 5,1. If not, I suggest you re-post that question in the Final Cut Studio forum. I'm sure that some of the contributors there have first hand experience with the process of that specific upgrade.
