If I clean install my Mac, how will I reinstall Final Cut Studio?

I'm experiencing a blue screen issue with my iMac 10.6 with Snow Leopard.  And I'm resorting to doing a clean install.  I'm thinking this will remove Final Cut Studio and it's applications, making me reinstall them on a fresh computer. 
Will there be an issue reinstalling this license on the same computer?  Because I can not go into the computer now to uninstall FCS.  I've been sifting through the forums and Google and haven't found an answer.

>Will there be an issue reinstalling this license on the same computer?
No. It'll install fine.  There is no way to un-license it from your machine, like Adobe and Avid require, because you don't license it. It's just installed. 
Simply reinstall from the original disks and you will be fine.

  • TS1110 How do I reinstall Final Cut Studio 7

    1. I used FCS_Revover to uninstall Final Cut Studio 7, and I deleted all files in Library/Receipts.
    2. Used my Final Cut Studio disc to re-install, entered my name, serial number,... upto "installation type" step, Final Cut Pro is set to "skip".
    What else should I do to be able to reinstall Final Cut Pro 7?

    1. Get the free "Preference Manager" from Digital Rebellion (dot com) and trash FCP's preferences.
    2. Make sure all hard drives on your system have at least 15% of their total capacity as free space.
    3. Make sure you've not set your OS drive as your Scratch Drive.
    4. Run Disk Utility to repair all drives.
    5. Run Disk Warrior if none of the above helps.
    It's very rare that you need to re-install a Mac app to make it work right.  Most problems like yours can be solved much more easily, and are due to issues a re-install won't help.

  • How do I reinstall final cut studio

    My Final Cut Pro is acting up and not stable.  All happened just recently.  I figure I just need to reinstall it.  Do I have to send the existing applications to the trash first and then do a fresh install?  Or is there another way to do this?  Thanks in advance.

  • How many licences does Final Cut Studio Support?

    How many licences does Final Cut Studio Support? Its the latest one (3) btw. The one that has FCP 7
    Any input is highly appreciated

    It can be installed on (1) desktop and (1) laptop, and you cannot use them at the same time. The idea is that you use the application when you are in your office, and if you need to go on the road, you can use it there, while the one in the office is not in use.

  • If i buy final cut studio 2 and then get final cut studio 3 upgrade will it be final cut studio 3

    ive been looking around to buy final cut studio 3 for weeks now with no success and i think ive found a solution i'm just wondering if it will work by buying final cut studio 2 full and then buying final cut studio 3 upgrade overall will everything be final cut studio 3?

    You can still get the FCS3 upgrades from the apple shop
    No you can not get FCS upgrades from Apple retail stores or Apple dealers, they have been recalled by Apple.
    Only places that will stock is independant retailers and online used software vendors.
    Apple have clearly stated that FCS is now ''end of life''

  • MacBook Pro will not load Final Cut Studio 2 Install disc?!

    So, this is the first time in all my years as a Mac user that I haven't been able to find info online about a problem I'm having with my machine.
    Firstly, I've never had optical drive issues. Secondly, all other disks I try are still loading and playing perfectly (including other disks in the FCS2 box, e.g. the tutorials).
    BUT when I insert the Final Cut Studio 2 Install disc, the drive sounds like it's trying to load the disc over and over, but it never gets spinning properly. The disc doesn't appear in my finder and after about 30 seconds my MacBook just spits it back out.
    I've restarted, I've closed all other apps etc. but nothing helps.
    Also, this same disc works fine in my parents' 17" MacBook Pro...
    Please someone tell me what the **** is going on

    You have probably already done it but ensure you have updated the OS and Quicktime prior to attempting to instal Final Cut Studio.
    I recently had a hard drive crash and after installing the new hard drive it would not read the OS installation disc. I ended up using an external drive case and installed the OS on the drive from a different Mac Book, then reinstalled the hard drive in the other Mac Book. Then it booted right up. I updated all the original software before attempting to install any additional software.
    Everyone kept saying it wouldn't install due a possibly defective optical drive and I can't say why but it wasn't the drive. As soon as I had the system up and running again the optical drive functioned flawlessly.
    I hope this helps you.

  • Looking for advice on a new Mac Pro system mainly for Final Cut Studio 2

    We are a small video production company that works mainly on broadcast and internet projects. We're looking to upgrade from an aging Avid system to a Mac Pro running Final Cut Studio 2. The primary thing we want from this system is to be able to work quickly in Final Cut while at the same time doing other operations, and we're willing to spend what it takes to make that happen. We've done a lot of research but still have some issues where we could use your expertise - it's a big investment and we want to nail it.
    Here's the configuration we're considering:
    Processor: Two 3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon (8-core)
    Memory: 16GB (4 x 4GB)
    Hard Drives: 300GB 15,000-rpm SAS (for OS X, Final Cut, & other programs) plus 2 x 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s (for video storage)
    Graphics: NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600
    We're thinking about spending the extra $1600 to get the best processor available, since we want this machine to be the hub of the business for about five years. Any thoughts on whether to save a bit and go with the 2.8GHz? We've also heard the bus speed presents a bottleneck so the Quad-Core processing power can't be fully utilized - should that have any bearing on our processor decision?
    The memory choice seems right - we'll see how well that works and retain the option to double the RAM, particularly as prices fall and new applications or hardware upgrades become tenable. However, we're thinking of perhaps buying some or all of the memory third-party - any advice on whether this tends to be worthwhile, where to get it, and what to watch out for? It looks like there may some issues with getting proper heat-sinking.
    We like the hard drive plan, though we've heard a 15,000-rpm drive may generate a lot of heat - any thoughts on this?
    The graphics card is where we're most torn - specifically between the Quadro 5600, the GeForce 8800, or perhaps even getting the computer with the standard card (or no card) and getting a different third-party card. We do mostly DV now, but we foresee doing HD projects in the future. We often use a green-screen that's in our studio and also apply minimal 3D effects as well as 3D text. We're debating whether to get the Quadro 5600 right off the bat and hopefully have no issues with it, or whether to get the GeForce 8800 for now and if we have issues then consider upgrading to the Quadro 5600 or potentially something else that would best suit our needs at that time. Would love to receive any and all advice on this issue.
    Also, it looks like we're gonna buy Final Cut Studio 2 and are considering also getting Final Cut Server. It seems the combination would allows us to use the Final Cut suite on other computers (both Mac and Wintel) that don't have their own version of Final Cut installed. Is that the correct interpretation? Any other advice on whether to get FC Server would be appreciated.
    Thanks very much for reading - we look forward to getting any and all advice you may have.

    *Don't do it!* Stick with the dual-2.8GHz config. A jump from that to the dual-3.2GHz gains you only an approximate 9% increase in power at a 52% increase in cost! Not worth it all. That money is much wiser spent on RAM, RAID array, or a broadcast monitor.
    Memory: 16GB (4 x 4GB)

    The processor is only one part of the whole, and as I just mentioned, the power:cost benefits are not good.

    Quadro 5600 is pricey, but I'm not sure about its benefits for people in our field. Even if I had the money for it, I would be hard pressed to consider it considering, again, money is liekly wiser spent elsewhere.

    I don't know much about FCServer, but my impression is that it is -- simply speaking -- Final Cut version of Avid Unity. In other words, I am pretty certain that your understanding on that is false. I may be wrong.

  • How can i remove final cut studio 7?

    I would like to completely remove the installation of Final Cut Studio 7.0.3 from my start-up drive prior to upgrading the FCPX 10.0.3; what is the best practice to remove all of its apps prior to installing/upgrading via the App Store?

    Thank you Shane,
    Although I consider your BEST practice much like cutting off your head to get rid of the headache the Second best solution appears to have worked just as well.

  • How to uninstall extra Final Cut Studio apps?

    I just purchased a MacBook Pro with a 160 GB hard drive, and installed all of Final Cut Studio on it. I knew the installation took up a lot of space, but sheesh, I'm only left with about 45 GB of space, certainly not enough for me to be comfortable! At any rate, I am now interested in removing Studio apps that I don't use as often to save hard drive space. Do I have to completely uninstall the entire suite, or can I selectively uninstall? What is the process?
    Thanks!

    Well, sheesh. Is Uncle Grump always supposed to be nice? Where's the fun in that?
    Hard Drive>Library>application support>motion, livetype, soundtrack pro
    Couple of ways to do this, I think. Trash the offending folders, then do a custom install,
    Or just start again, paying close attention to the prompts.

  • How ca i download final cut studio

    hi how can i download final cut studio

    You can't. Not only is it discontinued...and has been for over a year. Apple never offered is as a download, only a physical box with DVDs.  FCP-X is the first downloadable version.

  • How can I UNINSTALL Final Cut STUDIO?

    I do not want it anymore! How can I Uninstalled??????????????
    Thank you!

    1) In Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder (Shift-Command-G)
    2) Enter the location /Library/Receipts/FinalCurPro.pkg/Contents
    3) Click Go to open the Contents folder
    4) Launch Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal)
    5) Enter the command lsbom -s (that's a lower case L, not an upper case i)
    lsbom lists each of the files inside the bill of materials. To list only the folders, the command would be lsbom -d.
    6) Type a space, then drag the Archive.bom file from the Finder window to the Terminal window.
    7) Press Return to view the list
    8) Drag to select the list in the Terminal window and choose File > Copy (Command-C)
    9) Open a text editor and paste the list into it. Print if you have a printer attached.
    10) Guided by the list, delete all the files and folders, being extremely careful to delete from the exact locations shown in the list.
