Hello. Can I install a Final Cut Studio 3 Upgrade package using a serial number from an old Final Cut Studio 1 package?

I would like to install Final Cut Studio 7 on my Macbook Pro (2012).
I may be able to get an upgrade package, which will mean I need a previous version of Final Cut Studio to install it. I have an old Macbook with Final Cut Studio 1 on it. Could I use the serial number from that version of Final Cut Studio to activate the new upgrade on a new computer?
Thanks,
Mark

Thank you Jim.

Errors During Instalation Of Final Cut Studio 5.1

Aloha,
I am having some trouble here!! I am trying to install FCP Studio Pro 5.1 on my mac. I tried to do an upgrade from FCP 4.5 HD on my orriginal Hard drive. The instalation went through its paces & asked me to put in the second disc. I did then it came back with an anoucment that there were errors during instalation & to try again I did & was never able to get it to instal... Getting frustrated I ran diskworior on the drive & tried again no luck... after some time I thought it might be the drive would not let me because there was an earlier version on there.... so any way after some other problems with this drive I decided to completely erase & instal Mac OSX on my second hard drive that has never had anything on it. I made this my new startup disk & upgraded the OS to OS 10.4.9 I then Tried to install FCP Studio Pro 5.1 on this drive.. this time It never got to ask me to put in another disk it came back with the same error during instalation try again!!!!!! So now I am getting ******!! but odly enough Final cut studio shows up in my aplications. When I click on it it gives me a warning that there was an error registering & once I click ok it seems to launch FCP 5.1....... ?? So is it really there or not??? & why is it not installing the other 4 discs??? and to add insult to this I have tried to install iLife 06 & I get the same error!!!! WHY!!!!!!!!!
Another thing.. I installed FCP Studio Pro 5.1 on another Identical computer down the street & it installed no problem!!!!
Can anyone help Please!!!!!!

I would take a different approach.
I would backup the old drive files to an external, and then do a clean wipe and new install of OS, updates and the FCS.
Best way to do it, in my view.

Final Cut Studio 2: needing to update older version before install

I am trying to install FCS 2 upgrade from FCS, but it tells me I have an older version and that it "needs to be updated" before I can continue. The manual says that "To avoid compatibility issues, the Final Cut Studio installer requires you to update all Final Cut Studio applications to the version included with Final Cut Studio 2." I am not sure what this means, since I am just now installing FCS 2. I've read the messages here about upgrading from FCP 5.0.4, my FCP version, to 5.1 via a crossgrade on disks from Apple. Does this mean that I need to buy this crossgrade before I can finish the upgrade to FCS 2? This requirement is not listed on the FCS 2 box, but I can't seem to find anything else that would "update" my older version. And is this true for each of the other applications in the suite?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

No, you don't need to buy the crossgrade. I just updated the PPC version of FCS to FCS2 yesterday. (I had transferred these applications over to my new Intel Mac from a G5 even though I knew they wouldn't run on the Intel Mac until I could update with the Universal version). What I did end up having to do was to manually delete everything from the PPC installation (applications, preferences, application support files, etc.). Then install from the FCP2 disks, having your old FCP registration number ready to enter in the dialogue box that comes up when you try to upgrade. While the installer says you are upgrading, in fact it installs the new universal versions of the applications.

Damaged Install Disc Final Cut Studio

Hi, I have a problem with the installation of Final Cut Studio.
I just upgraded to Mac OS 10.6.4 and had to reinstall Final Cut Studio, nothing was working anymore. BUT! My installation disc is not readable by my Mac anymore. I only used it ONCE when I installed Final Cut Studio 2 years ago, since then it's always been in the box, protected as the Holy Graal. Is it possible to have a copy of the installation DVD? The other ones look ok, so I guess I only need that one.
Can you help me?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Quicktime Pro does not install with Final Cut Studio

I have an iMac with software version 10.5.7. I installed Final Cut Studio 2 (Final Cut version 6.05). With other similar installations on an iMac, Quicktime Pro came as a normal part of the software. On this iMac, the Pro version of Quicktime did not get installed. Is there a way to `unlock` it? Thanks

Final Cut Studio install should "unlock" the QuickTime Player Pro features.
What makes you think you do not have it?

Suddenly I can't run my Final Cut Studio Programs-why?

All of a sudden when I try to run any of my Final Cut Studio applications I get the following: PROTECTION ERROR...CANNOT CONTINUE..ANOTHER APPLICATION WITH IDENTICAL SERIAL # RUNNING ON ANOTHER COMPUTER ON YOUR NETWORK.
Alas, I'm not on a network and there are no other programs running. So what can I do to set the Tiger's brain straight?

By running Disc Utility, I found a number of permissions were in need of repair. Repairing them fixed the problem.

Can I upgrade to Final Cut Studio 7 if my last version is also an upgrade??

I upgraded to Final Cut Pro 4.5 with a version that was for upgrading to FCP 4 from either version 1, 2 or 3.
I no longer have the previous version, just the FCP 4 box/discs and the "upgrade" authorization code on the sticker it came on.
I see that there's an upgrade to Final Cut Studio 7 for around $300 from any previous non-academic version...but what about if the last version is an upgrade too?? It IS the FULL FCP 4.5.
Am I eligible for this discounted upgrade to FC Studio 7? Has anyone done exactly this?
Thank you for any solid info/experience on this you may have!

This problem brings up another associated question.
Is it possible to extract from the app/computer the original Retail Serial Number?
With my Final Cut Express 4.0.1 I simply go to HD>Library>Application Support>ProApps and open the FCE System ID in TextEdit in order to have my original FCE 1.0.1 revealed. (The upgrade number of course is displayed on the splash screen and also "About FCE").
However, opening the FCS System ID or the ProAppsSystemID does not reveal any serial number . . . . though my FCS3 is a Full Retail Version. Maybe if it was an upgrade, it might?
Being able to access and save the original reg would be useful for anyone who has lost it since upgrading.
It must be stored somewhere, unless when it was originally installed the computer just registered that it had a suitable number and did not save the specific one.

Can I get Authorised Final Cut Studio 7

Hi, I'm a media student and I often work with video editing projects. Now own an iMac with OS X 10.9.5.
For edits, Final Cut Studio 7 seems more comfortable than FCP X. Can I get an Authorised version of 7 anyway? I'm not interested in FCP X

1) What Meg said.
2) Did you ever try FCP X, I mean actually use it? It may look unfamiliar at first, but don't dismiss it out of hand. There is a free trial, fully functional for 30 days. I bet that if you really use it (and learn its ways, instead of trying to force it be like FCP 7), you will soon find that going back to FCP 7 is painful. Many people here share this experience...
Plus, there is no guarantee as to how long FCP 7 will keep working on current systems (though it appears it still works in Yosemite). It is dead, and has been for over 3 years now. Oh, and sealed boxes containing Final Cut Studio 3 currently go on ebay by somewhat more than what FCP X costs.

How can I Final cut studio 5.1 running on osx lion

I have a old version (Final Cut Studio 5.1) and I would like to use with OSX lion. How can I make that run, don´t want to downgrade!!!!!

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.

Final Cut Studio - no access to Updates..

hello,
I installed my copy of Final Cut Studio it runs well (except Motion2) but if I try to upgrade it to the latest FCS 1 version of the software the installer on the website asks me for my Apple ID - but I dont know which one I used for installing my company software - it's for sure not my personal Apple ID.
so how can I get info about the company Apple ID name that i might have used whe installing it originally?
please let me know - I still have to use FCP 5.0.1 - and there is a software update available even for FInal Cut Studio (not the 2nd version of it)
Please let me know - thnkas,
roman

Your Apple ID is the same one you use to log on to these discussions.
You enter that first to get access.
Then you need your Final Cut Studio number to download.
Have you tried using "Software Update" ?

Where can I down load Final cut studio?

All i see to down load are updates and final cut x. I dont want x i want 7. It would also be great it I could fined a custermer suport number to call but the liks just take me to apples suport.

As Nick stated, you can't download FCP 7 (or FCS). Even worse, Apple discontinued the product in June, 2011. Look for a used copy online at sites like ebay.

Can I use the Final Cut Studio Audio Library in a Monetized Youtube Video?

Hi All!
I would like to use some of the sound effects (Explosions, etc.) and a few musical loops (of a trumpet) within a soundscape in a monetized youtube video. Do I have the rights to use these sounds?
How would I fight a copyright claim if one arose?
Thanks for your help, everyone.
- Nick

Apple grants you the rights to use audio clips in their library as long as you do not sell the clips alone. That is, you can use an explostion sound in a video as an effect but you can not market the explosion sound effect alone.
Information regarding licensing an allowed use of Apple Loops in FCP used to be located in the ProApps area of the EULA web pages. It appears to be gone now that FCP is discontinued.
Here's a link that may be useful.

FSCS2 Install time (Final Cut Studio 2)

Apple says the full upgrade takes 10-20min./disc. There are ten freakin' discs! OK so the Tutorial doesn't really need to be installed at each upgrade? Still, I have four edit stations to do for my client. So, if I did them all sequentially it would take (@2.6hrs each)- all day and into the night.
I plan on doing some in a parallel fashion to speed it up. Probably back one station up, just in case. What has your install time experience been?
Has anyone had to go back to earlier FCS/5.1.x? Why?

I would be create disc images of all discs to a FW drive (you need to remain a couple of discs).
This takes about the same time as a full install.
Remember, most of these are 8 GB DVDs.
Then install from the FW drive after mounting the discs.
Use the separate serial numbers.
Why go back to 5.1?

How to continue an interrupted install of Final Cut Studio 2?

After installing from half of the DVD's containing the new FinalCutStudio2 upgrade, the screensaver was turned on the Mac was locked. Had to force it to restart by pushing the power button. Now I wonder, do I have to start the install from the very beginning again, or is there a better way?

You have to start again unfortunately. Had a similar problem myself when my machine crashed during the install (foolishly, I decided to work in other applications during the install...)

I can't install my final cut studio 2 because i've updated to lion, is there a solution?
