Installing and Using Logic Studio on the Same iMac as Final Cut Studio 2

In March of this year, I switched from being a long-time user of PC's to a 24 in. 2.4 GHZ iMac. In late May I purchased Final Cut Studio 2 and Aperture and have greatly enjoyed using both of these applications on my iMac. Both run with no problems under Leopard which I installed shortly after it came out. I am now considering the purchase of Logic Studio since I have enjoyed midi sequencing and audio editing for years on my PC's but wish now to do this on my iMac.
I note that two of the applications included in Logic Studio (Soundtrack Pro 2 and Compressor 3) are a part of the Final Cut Studio 2 suite of programs that I already have installed on my iMac. How will Logic Studio handle this issue when I run the install of that software, i.e. will it be aware that I already have Soundtrack Pro 2 and Compressor 3 and just have those install options grayed out or will it overwrite my FCS2 installation of those two applications? Are there other issues or conflicts between Aperture or Final Cut Studio 2 applications and Logic Studio that I should know before installing Logic Studio?
Thank you very much in advance for responding, and I look forward to reading this forum from this point onward.

Thanks again for your prompt responses, blayzay. I look forward to getting and installing Logic Studio. If anyone has any precautions on using it with FCS2 or with Leopard, please add a comment to this thread.

  • I'm having some problems wiht Firefox, for example; Youtube isn't loading right, Facebook won't let me send messages, search up people, and this website i made wont load right also. I've re-installed and updated it but still the same problems. Any help?

    I'm having some problems wiht Firefox, for example; Youtube isn't loading right, Facebook won't let me send messages, search up people, and this website i made wont load right also. I've re-installed and updated it but still the same problems. Any help?

    Because I know enough to be dangerous...  I was trying to extend the two outside columns down....  Instead of just using faux columns which I have fixed since I posted the question.
    The other link problem is the left sidebar links.  When you go to the event photos page I have a repeat of the sidebar links that are on the newsletter page.  I used named anchors on the newsletter page to link to the particular article.  From the Event Photos page the links look like this:
    <a href="1112Visions_Iss1.html/#puzzle" target="_self">[Puzzle]</a>
    The problem I am having is that some of these go to the newsletter page and the anchor and some do not (I get an error message saying it  can't find the page).  To add to the problem is that when we choose say the President's Message, when it goes to the newsletter page and the correct anchor, the newsletter page is missing all the links to the graphics... the photos are missing the graphic for the faux columns is missing.  It makes no sense.  When I preview the newsletter page from Dreamweaver everything shows up fine.
    I do not know if all of this is being caused because I haven't posted this stuff to the site or what.  I've tried re-booting both the browser and Dreamweaver, dumping the cache and still the same nonsense.
    Got any ideas?

  • Are i5 and i7 logic boards in the 27" imacs the same? i

    Are i5 and i7 logic boards in the 27" imacs the same? i know that the i5 uses the 661-5429 p/n and the i7 the 661-5428 p/n but are they interchangeable?
    Do they have the same sockets?
    Thanks.

    Perhaps the best news to come out of Intel's new line of i5 and i7 processors is introduction of a single socket for all Sandy Bridge Core i3/i5/i7 processors...
    For now, however, the Sandy Bridge processors all use the LGA 1155 socket. In case you're wondering, this socket is not backwards compatible with previous LGA1156 processors - don't try it unless you like junking your hardware.

  • I have Final Cut Studio 2 which I've never installed. Can I upgrade it to the latest version of Final Cut Studio?

    I have Final Cut Studio 2, which I've never installed. Can I upgrade it to the latest version of Final Cut Studio, or would I need to buy the latest version?
    Thanks, Caoim

    As an alternative, you could purchase FCP-X, which isn't an upgrade; it's a completely new application.  To quote Apple; "It's revolutionary!"  To quote me; "It blows!"
    BTW, Final Cut Studio 2009 was also known as FCS 3.  You might be able to find an upgrade version on ebay or craigslist.

  • I need a new license of final cut. Can I buy Final Cut X and use that serial on an older version of Final Cut?

    I work in a small studio and we hired a new editor. We are staying on an older version of Final Cut Studio and need a new license/serial so we can run it on the new machine without having the 'protection error' over the network.
    We CANNOT upgrade all of the machines at this time - we are in the middle of a few projects and need to keep the workflow going smoothly.
    If we purchase the newest version of Final Cut Studio can we use the license on our old product and wait to install the new one until we can upgrade all of the machines at the same time? we're still on studio 6.
    Thank you!

    >If we purchase the newest version of Final Cut Studio
    The newest version of Final Cut Studio was FCS 3 (aka FCS 2009) which contained FCP 7.  It has been discontinued by Apple and recalled from retailers.  If you can still find a legitimate copy to purchase, you can only use the serial number for that version.  Serial numbers from other versions will not work.

  • How simple is the Bluray authoring in Final Cut Studio?

    Hello!
    I've been reading posts on Bluray authoring with Final Cut Pro. Just got the upgrade to Final Cut Studio and saw some video at the apple site about bluray.
    Frankly, I don't want to spend money with a Windows authoring software for Bluray.
    So, how basic is the bluray authoring in Final Cut Studio?
    I need the following:
    1-Use a custom image for the background in the menu (but no moving clips,etc).
    2-Chapters.
    3-Enclose an option for an extra short video (like "making off").
    If that is done with FC Studio, it would be enough.
    Thanks for your help.
    Javier

    Hi Tom!
    Thanks for your help!
    What I'm really interested is in the HD quality of the video. Flashy flying menus and camera angles I never used neither with commercial DVD or Blurays.
    For authoring: I'll use a custom image (jpeg or whatever - probably a still from the video I shot) for the backgroud , 2 lines of title (1- full video and 2- extra short video) and chapters to jump to scenes.
    In other hand, I shot a video mostly using time lapse with a Canon DSRL (TIFFs edited in Motion), set the FCPro project to 1920 x 1080 25p Apple proress 422 (HQ), and in a Full HD TV I use for monitor (with AJA HDMI converter) looks AWESOME! Images look as amazing as some Hollywood bluray I rented.
    So as you can imagine,I don't want recompressions that may degrade the full HD video.
    If that is possible with the FC Studio bluray basic authoring,I'm running monday to buy an external Bluray, like LA cie or else.
    Regards;
    Javier
    P.D.: I posted in my site an HD clip made with the previous FCPro in Mpeg2. Now I'm using the H264. I didn't had an HD TV for monitor before. Did SD projects.Now the HD changes everything.

  • What is the benefit of "Enable Final Cut Studio color compatibility" in QT?

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    What is the benefit of "Enabling Final Cut Studio " in Quicktime player?
    I'm used to calibrate my monitor to a less bright gamma, suitale for monitoring video content.
    So does the +color compatibility option+ can give me more precision when I color correct my movies?
    Michel Boissonneault

    It does the same thing. The only difference is that the pref is active only when the QT player is active. So the gamma is not effected in other parts of the system.

  • How to get the Vimeo encoding in Final Cut Studio / Final Cut Pro (for web)

    I have some films I would like to "display" on the web. It seems that vimeo.com has a great way of encoding films for the web.
    http://www.vimeo.com/
    Anyone who knows how to do the same encoding within Final Cut? Or are there other ways for web which will work also for windows user (to watch the video without downloading extra plugins?
    I love how the videos starts almost instantly in hd on Vimeo! Al right it skips a bit, but then again it is hd on the web.....

    This is sort of a workaround for what you're trying to achieve:
    Here's a Ken Stone article on encoding for Vimeo.
    So...what a lot of folks are doing these days, is uploading to Vimeo (or similar service). Then back on your own website simply "embed" the Vimeo movie. You can control the size & control colors of the embed. When you're on the Vimeo page for a particular video, you'll see the "Embed" link on the right of the video. Click that and it will expose the code you need to copy into your own website.

  • How do i export multiple full resolution movie files at the same time in final cut pro 6?

    I've been using Final Cut Pro since version 3 came out, know the program well, have even had jobs consisting of just operating the program.  I'm currently running version 6 because that's the latest one that works on my computer.  Back in verison 3, there used to be an option under Export to export a "Final Cut Pro" movie, which was really a Quicktime movie but appeared with a FCP icon and defaulted to opening in FCP, but the important thing about it is that it was a full resolution copy of the movie with no compression.  Now, that option seems to have been changed to "export Quicktime movie."  In my opinion that change is kind of stupid since it is so much less specific and is even less of an implication that one is exporting a full resolution file.  But in fact you are.
    One also has the option of using Compressor to export a version of a movie, and therein there are so many different options that if you are not confused by it I think there's something wrong with you.  Moreover, it would appear that there is no equivalent of exporting a full resolution version of a file in Compressor.  Fair enough: a full-resolution file involves no compression so is not appropriate for "Compressor."  BUT, suppose you want to export multiple uncompressed, full-resolution movies at once.  When you use Compressor, you are able to create batch lists and export many things at the same time, for instance, lists that will take many hours to complete so you can go to bed and get the results the next day.  But as far as I can tell there is no way to do this at full resolution without compression.  Instead you have to sit at the computer waiting for each one to finish and after each one, manually go to the next and select "export Quicktime movie."  Even if there is a way to do this I would complain that such an obviously desireable thing is so unaccessable.  In fact, the only reason I've typed out my question at such length is because I'm stuck here waiting for each one of my movies to export.
    Anyway, all my complaints aside, anyone know how to do this?

    what you're missing to export multiple files is the batch export command available in the file menu or by control clicking on the items in the browser.  You can export multiple sequences/clips at full resolution with this.
    This has been available in fcp for a long long time.
    Wow, you are right.  Now that you mention it, I can't believe I never noticed that.  Thanks.
    Only if you have the 'Self-Contained' box checked.  Otherwise you'll end up with a reference movie.
    Correct.  That box is typically checked by default.  There are other default settings you could change that would not result in a full-quality version, but what I meant was hitting that option from the pull-down menu, then changing nothing and hitting ok.

  • Is the 24 inch Apple Cinema Display the best choice for Final Cut Studio 2

    I'm about to order a Mac Pro and Final Cut Studio 2 and have a question about monitor choices.
    Is the 24 inch Apple Cinema Display the best choice are there non-Apple monitors that will do as good or better job with HD editing and output?

    COMPUTER MONITORS bear very little on HD editing and output...especially output. They are just the monitors you use to look at your clips and your timeline. THey work for SD and HD. You really only use them to, well, as I said, see what you are doing. It would be nice to have GOOD ONES so the image looks decent. I use the Dell 24" monitors. The current one is the 2408. Nearly half the price of the Apple 23" displays...and really, the only Apple 23" that exists connects via their new connector, so you need a new MacPro or MacBook pro...or some adapter, to get it to work. And they are not worth the extra money, in my experience.
    Samsung monitors are also good.

  • Final Cut Studio 5.0.4 Upgrade to Final Cut Studio 2 HD Crash now needing to install on laptop

    I had Final Cut Studio 5.0.4 on my laptop which I upgraded to Final Cut Studio 2 during the 12 month period when it was offered at a reduced price.  My old G5 Hard Drive has bit the dust and I am trying to install on my laptop.  I have successfully re-installed upto 5.0.4 including the troublesome compressor 2.0.1 and Qmaster 2.0.1.  There are no further updates apparently when my laptop scans for any.  I am running OSX 10.5.8.  Now when I put the disks in for the Studio 2 all FCP, Motion, Soundtrack Pro, Compressor, DVD Studio Pro, Apple Qmaster, Live Type and Cinema tools are all grayed out, saying they need to be upgraded first.  I am guessing it is because this 12 month deal is no longer available.  Does anyone know a work around for this?  I paid $499 for this upgrade and I cant re-install it?
    My laptop is 2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo, 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SD RAM, small for FCP but I don't keep files on there.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    why did you install FCP 5 when you are going to install FCS 2?   FCS 2 upgrade installer does not need  FCP 5 installed and therefore you dont need updates as you will be installing a newer version of FCP.
    During the installation process of FCS 2 it should ask for the serial number of FCP 5 then ask for the upgrade serial number for FCS 2. You must have both of these or it wont install.
    Check this spec for FCS 2 with your laptop to see if it is compatible, if the machine is not compatible, it wont install.

  • 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''
