I removed Final Cut Pro X , followed the instructions, However my computer still thinks that is installed and doesn't allow me to re install

Does it say it is already installed, or not compatible?  If you have more than one boot volume attached, is it possible a copy is also on another drive/

  • HT5127 do I need to remove final cut pro 7 before installing final cut pro x

    do I need to remove final cut pro 7 before installing final cut pro x

    No. When you install FCP, it will move the FCS applications into a folder called Final Cut Studio.

  • I've recently messed up my Mac OS X Lion by deleting Aperture, but I need to get my data out of the computer. And by the way, I've got an important project in Final Cut Pro X. Is there any way I can back it up (including fxs and positions of the clip) ?

    Hello everyone
    I've recently messed up my Mac OS X Lion by deleting Aperture, but I need to get my data out of the computer. I've tried to repair it using DU, but it said I needed to backup all my data and reinstall the OS. How do I backup my data to an external drive?
    And by the way, I've got an important project in Final Cut Pro X. Is there any way I can back it up (including fxs and positions of the clip) ?
    Hope you guys can help me!

    You need to back up 2 folders, Final Cut Events and Final Cut Projects which by default are located on your Movies Folder. You can always check by clicking on a clip inside Fianl Cut X and selecting Show in Finder in the contextual menu for the selected clip.

  • HT5127 how do you remove final cut pro x

    i had installd a final cur pro x and i  install a final pro cut  but it does not come up so how can i get red of the final pro cut x and find the other one thanks

    Proper installation is to install Final Cut Studio first.  Then install Final Cut Pro X.
    The Final Cut Pro X installation will place the Final Cut Studio apps into a folder called "Final Cut Studio".  Since you can't have two "Final Cut Pro" apps in the same folder.  Then you'd launch FCP X from the Applications folder, and lanuch FCP 7 from the Applications > Final Cut Studio folder.
    Both can live on the same system at the same time quite easily.
    Here is the Apple support document that explains it all in detail for various types of installation.

  • 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.

  • Can I transfer a project from the trial version of Final Cut Pro X to the Full version

    Can I transfer a project from the trial version of Final Cut Pro X to the Full version which I have now downloaded.

    The trial version is named "Final Cut Pro Trial" and the App Store version is called "Final Cut Pro".
    So, they can both be in the Applications folder at the same time, but only one can be open/launched at a time.
    If, for some reason, your trial is older (like version 10.0.4) that your newly purchased FCPX (should be 10.0.5), and you do not click Update to your events/Projects, they will NOT show in the bought version!
    Open the licensed FCPX and make sure it does update your things, in case it asks for it!

  • I have an hd movie on final cut pro x; i want to create an sd disk of that movie. compressor created 2 files: dolby.... and mpeg2. How do I get these files burned to disc to create my sd movie?

    I have an hd movie on final cut pro x; i want to create an sd disk of that movie. compressor created 2 files: dolby.... and mpeg2. How do I get these files burned to disc to create my sd movie?

    These are elementary streams and they would be used by DVD authoring apps that use them for reasons like foreign language capability. Examples would be DVD Studio Pro, Adobe Encore, Toast.
    The most straightforward way to burn your DVD is either to use the Share feature in FCP or the Batch Template feature in Compressor.
    If you can find a boxed copy of iLife (try Amazon), it should have iDVD as part of the suite of apps. iDVD offers far more complete authoring capability than FCP or C4. iDVD  doesn't work with elementary streams; you'd just drag in your HD movie and you'd be good to go.
    Good lluck.

  • TS1846 I cannot totally remove final cut pro 7 and now I cannot reinstall it. Does anyone know how to completely remove FCP7?

    I was having problem with the share feature in FCP7. The Apple tech sent me some trouble shooting articles. Tried to follow them but I did not find the files for FCP7 in the receipt folder. Tried to reinstall the program but it does not start with a clean slate. The first time I installed FCP7 it asked for the serial number. This time it does not ask for anything and just starts to load but ends up spinning endlessly. There must be a way to remove everything and start out fresh again. What steps am I missing, which were not covered in the article?

    download and run this to remove Final Cut:

  • Final Cut Pro 4 utilize the G5?

    I am running have Final Cut Pro 4.0 on a G5.
    I was wondering, does FCP 4 fully utilize the all the features of the G5? Does FCP 4 use the 64 bit motherboard? Does it take advantage of the Dual processors?

    To crib from Shane:
    #29: Need AGP Graphics card
    Shane's Stock Answer #29
    You either need to either:
    1) use the following hack -

    or
    2) Upgrade to FCP 5
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302667
    Right now you can upgrade to the Full Final Cut Studio for $199 - see:

  • Final Cut Pro slowing down the entire computer - Help!

    I wonder if anyone can please help me.
    I own Final Cut Studio and everything was running perfectly for several months until recently.
    My copy of Final Cut Pro 7 started running very very slowly, even the drop down menus (file, edit e.t.c) would take several seconds to open and would be delayed to the point of being unusable. The effect is such that even upon quitting the program the entire Mac runs too slowly to operate and requires a hard restart.
    I should clarify that it makes no difference what project is open, in fact after the re-install there wasn't a single project open however the problem persisted.
    After restarting the computer returns to it's usual speed until Final Cut is opened again.
    I went to the Apple Store and they told me to reinstall the program and free up some space on my computer, both of which I've just done but to no avail.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem? I'm desperate for help as I need this software for my degree. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    I'm using a Mac Book Pro running Leopard, with 41. 68 GB of free space and my copy of Final Cut is legit.

    I can understand people's resistance to this process but it is absolutely the only way to ensure a problem free installation of your professional applications.
    Herein are X's rules for a happy erase and reinstallation experience.
    • Make a list of all Applications to install. Which ones do you need? Go through your Applications and Utilities folder and note which ones you'll want to reinstall. Note the version.
    (I don't know about you, but I had a shocking number of apps I downloaded, used for a few times and never used again. Forget installing these disused apps.)
    • If you are upgrading from a PPC to an intel machine, you'll want to know if the apps are UB or PPC. Upgrading your PPC software to UB can be a significant cost in a PPC to intel conversion. Know what you are getting into - do a search before installation to see if there is a UB version available. You can find out whether an app is PPC or UB by looking in System Profiler>Software>Applications. This window will also tell you the current installed version number. Generate a .pdf file of it and have everything listed for your records.
    • In the list, note whether is was a download or you have a disk. If it was a download, find the DMG or installer package and copy it to an external firewire drive. Put it in a folder titled - Apps to be installed - or something easily identifiable.
    • If you need to go back to a previous version (e.g. QT 6.5.2) download the dmg file BEFORE you start the installation process.
    • In the list, note if the application is a full install or an UPGRADE. If an upgrade, make sure you have the previous version's disks (as well as the serial numbers - see below).
    If the UPGRADE version does not require the previous version to be present - eg when installing the upgrade version of FCP 6, DO NOT install earlier software. All you'll need is the previous serial number. The way to figure this out is to try to install the newest version. If it needs the previous version present before proceeding, the install process will tell you that.
    Some upgrades will require that a version of the previous app is on the disk. If this is the case, when you install the first version, simply install the minimum so the app will be on the hard drive. You will need to do this because there will be NOTHING on the disk after you do your clean erase.
    • Referencing your list, find ALL your disks before you start. This includes previous versions if you are unsure whether they will be needed.
    • Spend some time looking through this forum for Professional Application installation issues. The classic example is a conflict between Logic and FCP. Install FCP first and you'll have no issues.
    • Sort your list into an installation sequence. Lay out your disks in that order.
    • Referencing the list, make sure you have ALL your serial numbers including those you've downloaded. I've purchased a number of programs on line and the only documentation of the serial number was an email. All those are kept in a dedicated folder in Mac Mail. For serial numbers that arrived via electronic means, use cut and paste instead of re-typing whenever possible. This will prevent errors in transcription.
    In making the list, TEXT EDIT works ok, (I use Excel). Text edit has the benefit of being easily readable on any mac. Print the list out for reference, put a copy on a flash drive or a firewire drive where you can access it to cut and past serial numbers during the installation process.
    • Recognize this is going to take some time. Ranting, drinking too much coffee, swearing, sitting in front of the computer watching the progress bar, etc will not make things go faster. All it will to is put you in a really bad frame of mind. Do it over a weekend when you can be multitasking. While you are cleaning off the mountains of paper on your desk or raking the yard, you can take regular breaks to check on progress.
    Process -
    • Download Carbon Copy Cloner or one of the other backup utilities and do a full backup of your existing system drive to an external firewire drive. Make the drive bootable. *Do not* cheap out on this as this is your insurance policy. If you forget something or can not find a serial number, you often can find it and copy it from the backup system to the newly installed version. Or, if things go horribly wrong, you can simply copy the old system back to your computer and pick up where you left off.
    If you have a MacPro or G5 tower, an alternative to cloning your existing system disk is to pick up a new hard drive to use as the clean new system disk. Your existing system disk will be the clone.
    • Once you have gathered and organized all the materials and backed up the drive or installed the new system drive ...
    • Insert your OSX installation disk, reboot the computer from it and erase the hard drive. Use the ZEROs option as this will map out any bad sectors. This will take time. See the note above.
    • Install the OS. If it is an upgrade install, see the note above regarding upgrade installs. Repair Permissions and then run the updates. Repair Permissions.
    • Install your applications following your list. Make sure to Repair Permissions after each install and update..
    Have fun, be prepared for a few minor glitches. If you multitask, you can get the garage/ or office cleaned out and your computer rebuilt. In all honesty, this process took all weekend plus time in the next week as I discovered apps that needed additional updates, configuration settings, etc. No doubt it would have been faster if I was sitting at the console the whole time, but I was able to get the office cleaned up and organized (which also makes ME much faster). Overall it was a very slick process.
    When you have a fully functioning system again (you have tested all applications and everything works), CLONE the new system and put your info, your notes and the disks in a safe place - once you've done this once, why go through the pain of organizing this stuff again ...
    Now, rejoice in a much faster machine with a lot more free disk space.
    Cheers,

  • How can i import old projects (Final Cut Pro 10) to the new (final cut pro 10.1.1)?

    Hi everyone,
    I have a folder full of backup projects and events of Final Cut Pro X.
    Now, I have Final Cut Pro 10.1.1 and I don't know how to use those projects, since they were in a different folder.
    Yhanks very much
    Bruno

    I'm assuming these are on a secondary drive. At the drive's root level make folders called Final Cut Projects and Final Cut Events. Move the projects and events you want to work with into those folders. In FCP use File>Update projects and events. Select the drive you want to update and FCP will update the projects and events in those folders. Save the originals as backups.

  • So I bought a Used copy of final cut pro 7, but i cant use it because I need a serial number and the serial number that came with it doesn't work. What do I do?

    I bought my copy from ebay and when i got it I installed it, but every time i click on final cut pro 7 it asks for a serial number and when i put the on that came with it, it tells me it an invalid serail number. It is kinda making me want ti throw my mac out the window and just stick with windows.

    First, find out if you bought an "Upgrade" version, or a "Full" version.
    If you have an "Upgrade" version, it will require two serial numbers to work - first, the serial number of the last "Full" version you are upgrading from, then the serial number of the "Upgrade" software you are installing.
    If you have bought a "Full" version, see this KB article with help entering serial numbers in the Pro Apps:

  • I can`t start final cut pro x since the latest update lion

    Final Cut pro X is starting but you can`t working with this program since the latest update Lion

    I don't know what 15992 is talking about, the only way FCPX can be installed is with the App Store application on a Mac, which installs the FCPX application (it is a program) into the Applications folder, and puts the Events and Projects folders in the internal drive Movies folder.
    If the user uses FCPX to move events and projects to other drives, FCPX knows it and creates those folders on those drives. Doing a sytem update will have no effect on any of those folders. Russ is right, please provide more details.
