Every new Mac will be fine.
If you can manage without a laptop the iMac is the best value of all:-

The £999 model will be fine.
I'm still gobsmacked at how Dixons dare charge that much for a knackered 4 year old second hand Mac.
It's like buying a 4 year old car (that should be under half price) for the full new price.

Final Cut Pro System support folder missing

I downloaded a cool plug in for a aged film look but I cannot find the "Final Cut Pro System support folder" in which i have to place this plug-in.
Any Ideas?

*Hard Drive/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support.*
Your plugin goes into the Plugins folder.
You will need to authenticate with an Admin password to modify the folder.

Can you upgrade from Final Cut Pro 3 to Final Cut Pro Sudio 2 with upgrade?

Does anyone know if you can upgrade from Final Cut Pro 3 to Final Cut Pro Sudio 2 with $699 upgrade?
I purchased Final Cut Pro 2 years back and then purchased the Final Cut Pro 3 upgrade. I have not used it in years, but now I want to upgrade to Final Cut Studio 2. Is this possible by just purchasing the upgrade?

Apple's web page has the requirements:
http://store.apple.com/AppleStore/WebObjects/BizCustom?qprm=78313&productLearnMo re=MA886Z/A
The $699.00 upgrade version requires a valid serial number from a commercial version of Final Cut Studio, Production Suite, or Final Cut Pro 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. Academic and not-for-resale versions are not eligible for this upgrade.

Will the new final cut pro x work with my Final cut pro version 6.0.6 data

will the new final cut pro x work with my Final cut pro version 6.0.6 data

Thanks Tom.
So I will need upgrade to FCP 7 first, then convert to an XML file in 6.0.6, then convert to another file that FCP X can read? I have a lot of half done projects that need finishing. Is this process very complex and time consuming?
Maybe I should be approaching this from a different angle. The reason I am asking is that I now need to upgrade to a new Mac book pro and have been told that I cant run final cut pro 6.0.6 on the new models using maverick. Is this true?

Is Final Cut Pro 3 compatible with MAC OS 10.4?

Is Final Cut Pro 3 compatible with MAC OS 10.4?

re:FCP3
Some people purchase FCP3 and then the upgrade to FCP5. It is less expensive than purchasing FCP5 as a new install. You may be able to find a copy of FCP4.5HD out there as well for a low price.
That being said, while some use FCP3 (or FCP4.5) with 10.4, 10.4.x and QT7.x. will be happiest with FCP5.
re: burning.
Once the file is exported as a quicktime DV file, iMovie does not care about the origin. It should work just fine. DVDSP gives you much more control and greater flexability in setting up menus, looks, operation etc, but is not required.
Good luck.

Will Final Cut Pro X work with Yosemite

Will Final Cut Pro X work with Yosemite?

me too version 10.8. It would have been nice to know yosemite was going to crap out my primary video editing software! I use this for my video editing for my business video production and it would have been nice to know ahead of time or here's a crazy idea how about the software developers who are making millions off final cut pro sales release a fix BEFORE apple roles out yosemite for free. I don't have time to chase down every blog in the world to see issues etc. The reason I bought a mac is I just need it to work so I can work on my business.

Does Final Cut Pro X support RAW Cinema DNG files?

I'm looking at a pro/broadcast project that I'll be shooting in RAW Cinema DNG. Does Final Cut Pro X support this format? I can shoot in ProRes, but I don't want to for this particular project.

Is final cut pro 6 compatible with snow leopard?

Is final cut pro 6 compatible with snow leopard? I don't want to upgrade the OS if I lose FCP.

DO NOT MAKE AN IRREVERSIBLE DECISION. You should clone your startup drive so you can quickly return your system to it's previous state if there's a problem. Although Nick is always right, do you really want to trust him (or me for that matter).

What kind of graphics card should i get to run final cut pro x on my 2008 mac pro?

What kind of graphics card should i get to run final cut pro x on my 2008 mac pro?

Hello Andres. I own an Early Mac Pro 2008, and have had the blessing of using both FCP X & Motion 5 for some time now. This is a pritty open question and it depends on your usage and the throughput nessesary to handle your work load. I can share what my set up is, & it may help you deside if this is enough power for you or help you move in another direction. Keep in mind that the buss speed and cpu are a big part of helping FCP X more so than the video card, although the video card does come into play here as well. Now if you are wanting to run Motion 5 as well, the video card is Almost Everything, and you need the biggest and best situation here that the throughput on this system will except. I'm running 14 gig of system ram, and the video card is an ATI Radeon 5870. For FCP X, running 1920x1280p footage optimised in pro-res 422, she can move along with some render time nessesary when dropping on the timeline, also filters, transistions, titles ex, have a bit of a laps time to render, but then she runs ok. This wait is not as much of a challenge with this set up as with Motion. I need a much bigger gpu on the video card for this app. Not sure if this computers throughput is really worth the upgrade. Beleive this though, Motion is demanding on using ALL you can give it. It is a Genious App, and it also calls for ALL THE POWER YOU CAN GIVE HER IN A VIDEO CARD. Conclution: if you are just starting which it sounds like, even a smaller video card than this can work For FCP X. Make sure you have at least 8 gig of cpu ram. 12 or more will help here. Also make sure the card is OpenCL compadible.....& this is in the thread above,,,,,,,,

Installation of Final Cut Pro Version 2013 with OSX 10.7.5

In 2013 I bought Final Cut Pro for my MacBook (version 2007 with OSX 10.7.5). Meanwhile I had to reinstall the hard drive and set-up the MacBook again. As there is now only the latest version available in the AppStore, I cannot install this version 10.1.4 as it is not compatible with my 10.7.5. OSX. Is there any chance to get the version 2013 (June) to install it again? Thanks for support!

Also take a look at this doc.
You could install a more recent OS on a separate drive or partition and run a dual boot system.

Does Final Cut Pro X support TS.BUP, RM.BUP, and TS.VOB Video Files

I would like to know if I can import the named files in my question into Final Cut Pro X.
Thinking about buying it, but want to know before I do.

Thanks again Tom Wolsky. I did however download the trial version of Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate for Mac, and it worked very very well. I just discovered that it also supports three professional encoders, Apple Intermediate Codec, ProRes and DNxHD—ensuring maximum editing quality and efficiency when working with iMovie, Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere or Avid Media Composer, respectively. For what it's worth, it also can convert a broad range of video formats to these three professional encoding formats easily and quickly. This means an advantage over Apple Compressor 4, which only supports conversion to videos in QuickTime format.
I only tried it because I viewed a video by Chris Pirillo (former TechTV host) and CNN tech correspondent who highgly recommend it for my issue. It's a lockergnome review. I pasted the page link at the bottom if your interested in hearing what they have to say. It's on YouTube, just type in WonderShare. Again thankyou for your time and expertise.

Does Final Cut Pro X support two displays?

Is there a download or update that allows Final Cut Pro X to support a second display to play video out?

You can place the viewer on a second monitor but you cannot spread the interface across two monitors. The same thing goes with Motion. Using a second 27" monitor just to show the viewer is a humongous waste of resources.
With previous versions of FCP and Motion I could place a group of panels on the second monitor so that I did not have to dig through tabs to find what I wanted. Everything I needed was right there. Nothing was hidden. After upgrading to the latest version of Motion it felt like my elbows were tied together and things slowed down considerably. FCPX takes a similar approach.
The ability to break apart the default arrangement and spread out the interface is a tried and true approach. I can't imagine how awful it would be if Adobe forced its flagship apps into such a restrictive model. I know that the docking tabs thing was an ongoing source of litigation between Adobe and Macromedia back in the day. I assume that Apple didn't feel like paying a royalty or something. I don't care if I have to pay a few bucks more. When FCP and Motion resumes an open interface approach, I will happily make the jump back from AfterEffects and Premiere Pro and will upgrade to FCPX.
For a video pro, everything hinges on productivity and in a high speed environment, every minute counts. If everything I do in an app requires digging through tabs, this becomes very expensive and it affects the fluidity of the creative process. It can also make the difference in whether you can have the content ready in time for the broadcast, which means you have to dumb down the result. Either way you go, you lose: you either get a reputation for taking too long or for turning in a second rate project. It doesn't just affect productivity, but it has an impact on salaries and promotions.
My recommendation to Apple is that they consider that not every video pro in the field works in the same way as the Apple's product manager does. Apple's previous approach to interface design recognized this and it worked wonderfully. During the Samsung thing Phil Schiller specifically stated that Apple doesn't listen to its customers when designing products. I would think that if the opposite were true, the customers would be happier and more productive. Just a thought....
