I Can't install my NEW Final Cut Studio 2

I Can't install my NEW Final Cut Studio 2;During the initial installation process the applications are dimmed and it tells me that I have to upgrade the previous version, but my "previous" version is Final Cut Studio "ACADEMIC" (FCP 5) which doesn't allow upgrades!. When I enter the previous version's serial # it refuses it and the serial # of the new one doesn't allow me to install. I paid full price for the new FCS2 because I am not elegible to upgrade from an "academic" version... Anyone with a solution... Urgent. I am to start a new project/new client on Monday am
thanks in advance

Did you uninstall the 1st version with AppZapper? Gotta be some registry type files still lingering around.
Thanks for your response.
I installed using the conventional DVD's sent by Apple. I installed them on my previous computer a MacBook Pro and it was copied with the rest of its contents when upgrading to my new MacPro.

Hi The Bunnell Farm-
Greetings and welcome to the Apple boards.
Legally you must have only one copy installed at any one time on any one machine. By definition, you would need a second purchased copy in order to run it legally on the 2nd Mac.

Recently purchased a Macbook Pro with screen of retina of 13,3 inches. My question is, can I install the new Final Cut Pro X , is capable of withstanding the app? Or that Final Cut is convenient to install?

Generally any Mac made since 2009 can handle FCP X.
Your small screen is not ideal unless you are young and have good vision.
However, you needn't ask whether or not your computer is suitable as you can find out yourself by downloading the free 30 day trial.

I am trying to install Final cut pro studio V1.0.1 (2005) on OS X lion. I get a message "You can't open the application final cut studio.mpkg because power pc application are no longer supported

I am trying to install Final cut pro 5 studio V1.0.1 (2005) on OS X lion. I get a message "You can't open the application final cut studio.mpkg because power pc application are no longer supported. My computer is New. Is their a link I can go to get tech support?

You won't find any help at tech support ... other than telling you the facts: Intel processor Macs require FCP 5.1 or higher. FCP 5.0 and earlier were written for PowerPC processor Macs, long before Apple switched to using Intel processors.
And then there's the issue of the OS. OS 7 will allow FCP 7 (and sometimes even FCP 6) to work OK, but versions earlier than that have spotty operation on Lion.
Here's a brief history of full FCP versions and recommended OS compatibility:
* = requires PPC             ** = works with both PPC and Intel                          *** = require Intel
FCP 1.0*       OS 9
FCP 2.0*       OS 9
FCP 3.0*       OS 9, OS 10.1, OS 10.2
FCP 4.0*       OS 10.2, 10.3
FCP 4.5*       OS 10.3
FCP 5.0*       OS 10.3 (OS 10.4?)
FCP 5.1**     OS 10.4, 10.5
FCP 6.0**     OS 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 (OS 10.7?)
FCP 7.0***    OS 10.6, OS 10.7
FCP-X***       OS 10.6, OS 10.7
Essentially, you have a newer Intel processor Mac with a new OS and very old, incompatible software.   You might be able to find a used version of Final Cut Studio 3 on sites like ebay or craigslist as it is no longer offered by Apple as an upgrade.
Alternatively, you could purchase and download FCP-X, but it is an entirely different application, sharing virtually nothing with previous versions of FCP.

How can i check if a Final Cut Studio licence has been used or not?

Hello there,
How can i check if my 'Final Cut Studio 3 Retail' set has a usuable licence or they have been used allready? It is second hand and i no longer have a Mac and wish to sell the product. In the box it has 2 of the same serials so i gather it can be used twice?
Any help would greatly be appreciated
Kind Regards
Tim

If your serial is printed on the official sticker you will have no problems and should the new owner register it, any previous registrations will be deleted.
Officially you can only use it on one Desktop and one Laptop but there is no physical limit to the number of computers you can install it on.

How many registration keys come with the new Final Cut Studio

Hi I'm thinking of buying the new final cut studio and am trying to find out how many registration keys come with the box. I have 2 others in the family that would use it on their comps as well, and my friend had gotten the previous version of final cut studio 2 (final cut pro 6) and said it came with 3 keys inside, which would be great for me. So I'm just making sure that's true. Thanks.
Also you can bring final cut pro 6 files from another computer onto a computer with final cut pro 7 and still work on them right?

Hello Gibbs,
Welcome to the forum.
Re: your question.
Your friend is a pathological lier (or delusional - sometimes it's hard to tell the difference).
FCP is licensed for one laptop and one desktop as long as:
1. Both machines are owned by YOU (your inlaws don't count as you)
and
2. They are not used at the same time.
If your family wants FCS, time for them to purchase their own copies. (Apple has dropped the price so low that even Junior High School students can afford their own copies now.)
Yes, FCP6 files will open without issue on FCP7. The reverse is not true.
Have fun.

Major meltdown - Can't seem to reinstall Final Cut Studio 6

Hello All,
My Final Cut stopped working. Specifically, it couldn't find the compressor application. I decided to "zero out" my MacBook Pro, and reinstall the operating system. I intended to then reinstall Final Cut Studio 6.
All went well with the "zero out" and reinstallation of the OS Mac OS X (10.4.11). However, when I attempt to reinstall FCP 6, after the first audio content 1 disc, the system asks for the reinsertion of the Final Cut Studio Install disc. I then get a message that the installation failed, and please try again.
Well, I've tried 5 times, and no success.
Can someone advise where to from here. I'm dead in the water.
Thank you.

I was instructed to purchase the upgrade ($300), as it will only require my serial number, and I'm told my version will not be supported soon enough as the OS evolves.
While Apple may not be supporting FCP 6 any more, FCP 6 should definitely still install on your OS. You also should be aware that FCP 7 is not supported on OS X 10.4 so if you do choose to upgrade, you will need to also buy Leopard or Snow Leopard.

Where Can I find content for Final Cut Studio!

Hello,
I had final cut studio on my program but I didn't know that it came with content. I threw the box away. Is there a way where I can get those content for the programs?
Thanks

"But the truth is i got it" yes you did....off a bit torrent. The DVDs are packaged together, it's quite obvious that you illegally obtained a stripped copy. No one is going to fall for your scam, you have some nerve to come here and try and pull it off. Your elementary school english isn't convincing either. I hate to be a bit rude but you have to grow up. If you did actually have a copy you could just show apple your serial number sheet and they'd replace the missing software, but that isn't the case here is it? You have embarrassed yourself and you name here.
Mods please lock this!!!

While installing the new final cut, it didn't want to install dvd studio

I have the previous version of final cut, and installed the new studio (note I first bought final cut when all the apps came seperatly.) The question I have is, is there any diference in tghe new dvd studio pro than in the previous fcs bundle? It didn't have a check when it asked which apps to add, so I didn't, also after that I thought that apple had to have added some new templates ect?....does anyone know if there is a difference, and if there is, why didn't it auto upgrade like the rest...thank you

Look into the License Manager in the National Instruments folder of your Start menu. It is probably just a matter of activating LabVIEW 8.6 and possibly some other features with your new license code instead of your previous full version license code.

Shot on Genesis 4k, can I use proxies in Final Cut Studio 2?

Greetings.
So I'm on the shortlist for a music video to be shot on the panavision genesis camera at 4k. From what I know, FCS2 has proxies to edit with more easily accessable sized files, but I'm not sure if it is only for the RED camera. If I am to digitize at uncompressed 4k resolution can i ...
1. cut uncompressed on my current rig (2.33 core 2 duo, 2 gigs ram)
2. use proxies to "downconvert" the footage to edit, then spit out an edl for the colorist...?

Alright. Couple things here:
-The Genesis doesn't actually record 4K. It's a 4K sensor, but it records standard 1920x1080 to either HDCAM SR or HDCAM via the SRW deck onboard. So your format is 1080p, not 4k (or even 2k).
-Having shot and delivered many videos for many labels, there is almost zero demand by the labels for HD (or 4k) music videos. If anything, the new demand is for videos for cell phones and YouTube. Labels have VERY few outlets for HD videos.
-With all of the above in mind, it makes about zero sense to complete post on a music video in anything better than Digibeta SD, unless you really want the experience of completing post on an HD project.
-So if the Genesis is still your choice, then you need to decide whether to shoot HDCAM SR (with the consequential expensive HDCAM SR deck rental for post), or plain HDCAM. I recommend plain HDCAM. You can then bring in via JH-3 deck and DV/firewire for your offline, and then redigitize with the same deck via SD-SDI for online finishing. This is your 'proxy' idea, in effect...it's called offline/online editing.
-Get a post supervisor or editor that understands this stuff inside out before you waste thousands on deck rentals and edit bay time.

About new Final Cut Studio

Hi everybody!
Does anyone know if Final Cut Pro 7 will use OpenCL with Snow Leopard?
Thanks in advance,
Nicola

However, we won't REALLY know until Snow ships, we've figured out if we need new cards, and there might be some incremental updates. No one knows for sure where Intel and Snow Leopard are going to take us although the Mac rumor sites are replete with useless speculation.

I have just installed my new final cut express 4 and when I try to import a photo it quits unexpectedly? Why is this?

What should I do about this and does it need to be reinstalled?? Please Help??!!

As you give no info about formats, sequence settings etc. and how you are actually trying to import it is impossible to guess.
Please give as much information as possible as there are countless configurations and permutations of settings you may be using.
You could try trashing the preferences with this free app for a start http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/

Why can't I see the Final Cut Studio icon after installation?

All the installation process went fine and it even displayed "Installation Successful!" And now I can't find it anywhere

Go to www.digitalrebellion.com and get the fcp uninstaller and then reinstall.
Are you sure you've chosen the right options for the install if you're doing a custom install.
Here's a user tip regarding installtions. Making disk images of the installation dvd's can save an enormous amount of time.
