Final Cut Studio is crashing a lot using a Mac Pro (nehalem) 2009

Greetings,
I have a video workstation based on a Mac Pro (2x2.26GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon Nehalem, 6 GB RAM, 640 GB HD, 512 NVIDEA VRAM) with a Blackmagic Decklink HD Extreme 2009 and an Highpoint RocketRAID 4322 card (properly connected to a RAID 5 array).
I'm editing, with Final Cut Studio 3, a big TV project with some TGA and loads of HD XDCAM EX 35mbs video footage.
*What is happening wrong?*
Final Cut Pro is crashing to many times and dont let me work with the flow that is supposed. I start to work and i do a bit of scrubbing in the timeline and suddenly the rainbow spyral starts to spin and kaput! FCP just crashes.
I've tried to many things. Re-installing everything from the baseline, plug out the 2 PCIe cards (and not even the drivers are installed). Even so FCP still crashes with the project.
Funny thing is... This symptom only happens with the Nehalem Mac Pro. I have another station based on a Mac Pro 2x2.66 GHz Dual Core Xeon 3 GB RAM 2006 and when i run the project... everything works fine. FCP here doesn't crash.
This is what makes me believe that the problem must be with the new Mac Pro.
I have the reports generated by the FCP after the crash. You can find it here:
http://www.ideiascompernas.com/reports/
I'm getting frustrated because i've invested big in this workstation, safe in the knowledge that it was going to be stable to complete my requirements.
Is there anything that i or Apple can do to resolve my problem. Is it the processor? Extended Hardware Test says that everything is ok.
I'll be waiting,
best regards, thanks,
Pedro

I see you have the GT120, not a very nice card really but maybe it is 'enough.' I'd upgrade. To ATI Radeon 4870, once you get it stable and working.

I see your crash is kernel panic actually.
Exception Type: EXCBADACCESS (SIGBUS)
Exception Codes: KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE at 0x0000000000000000
Crashed Thread: 194
Almost always that is memory related, are you seeing parity errors?
Watch System Profile - Memory tab
Replace the RAM (I'd even up it to more memory, 6 x 2GB is what I would have configured for)
Have you tested your RAM? run Apple Hardware Test?
Disabled ALL USB and Firewire devices?
Is the RR4322 okay to run in slot #2 (16x) rather than in slot 3 or 4 (4x)?
Getting RAM replaced, advanced exchange, or go out and getting some Kingston or Crucial etc for your system, and swapping, really is one good method, trial and error, to find the cultprit or rule out RAM.
Errors like this can mean flushing your caches is a must, and possibly due to errors and crashes, clean system install, checking data (both time consuming) and being careful to recheck your drives with Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro 5 to insure there are not any corrupt files (not perfect either which is why restore the system from known good backup image can be a must).

Final CUt Studio 2 will not run on my Mac Pro & Macbook Pros simultaneously

I was under the impression that the licensing contract for FCPS2 allowed for the software to be installed and run on a desktop and a portable machine simultaneously. Am I wrong? I purchased Final Cut Studio 2 legally, and have installed it on my Mac Pro and my Macbook Pro, but if I try to open one of the FCS apps while one is running on the other computer, I get a protection error message and have to shut down the app. Does anyone know a workaround to this other than shutting off airport on one of the machines?

I was under the impression that the licensing contract for FCPS2 allowed for the software to be installed and run on a desktop and a portable machine simultaneously. Am I wrong?
Yes, you are wrong.
The license allows for the installation of a copy on each machine but they can not run simultaneously. The intention is to allow users to work with a laptp while away from the main editing machine. If you need the capability running two copies at the same time, buy another copy.
Good luck,

Buying Final Cut Studio second hand- can I install on Mac Pro?

I'm going to buy Final Cut Studio software from a friend, who has registered the application with Apple. Can I install the software on my Mac Pro without problems? The previous owner had it installed on a MacBook Pro.

As long as they delete it from their computer, you should be fine....

Final Cut Studio 5.1 won't install with new imac7,1 running Snow Leopard

Howdy
I bought Final Cut Studio 5.1 (FCP5, Motion2, etc) and tried to install on a very modern machine running snow leopard.
The machine meets all the system requirements, as far as i can tell, but when i click to install, i get the following:
Alert
Your computer does not have the hardware required to run this software. See the Read Me for details.
Is this a graphics card issue?
Obviously i'm a bit annoyed because the of the costs and i thought a high-end computer would be able to run this 5-year old software package.
If anyone can advise me of a way to circumnavigate the problem using the tools i already have, i'd be very appreciative.
Thanks!

Hi, thanks for replies.
It was bought from a reseller and is version 5.1.
I was under the impression that you could only upgrade if you had a previous version of FCS installed. Since i cannot install the version i have, i cannot upgrade.
I did try the 'esc' key but it didn't have any effect at all - this is a good tip though, so thanks for the idea. I'm sure one day i'll need to use it.
I'm close to admitting defeat and selling it on again, but if there are any FCS experts out there with a fix, that'd be super awesome!

Trying to install Final Cut Studio/Pro that was on my old Mac Pro. Have old disks and upgrade but need to know the install sequence.

My old Mac drive died and bought a Air. Trying to install Final Cut but bumping into error on trying to install Studio. I have an upgrade to Pro but I have been told that I need to install Studio first. I have all the original disks.

Final Cut Studio 2 has a "bug" in the installer program that results in the "PowerPC" dialog box.
There are two alternative methods to install into Mavericks:
Use Pacifist:

Use Jeremy Johnstone's Terminal method:
http://www.jeremyjohnstone.com/blog/2012-03-11-installing-final-cut-pro-studio-2 -0-on-mac-os-x-10-7-lion.html
Be sure to follow the August 2012 comment for the remaining FCS2 disks for this second method.

Final Cut Studio apps not opening on your Intel Mac - Universal Prokit?

Motion and other Final Cut Studio applications stopped opening on my Intel iMac, and the problem was that the Prokit.framework file wasn't universal binary. I did some Google-ing and found this topic regarding the universal Prokit.framework file.
http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=15003&st=0
Find the Rapidshare link and download it. Follow the instructions in that topic.
Enjoy! I hope it solves the problem for you!

didn'y know there was such a big 'underground' FCP on a PC faction ...< </div>
Sheesh, now we have to completely restructure our knee-jerk responses to "Is there a PC version of Final Cut?" posts.

Final Cut software free trial that is compatible with older macs?

Is there any way to get a free trial of an older version of Final Cut Pro...one that is compatible with an osx 10.6.8?

No.
The only free trial is the current version FCP X 10.1.1.
You need a late model Mac and Mavericks OS.
You best bet is to hunt around for a used version of Final Cut Express or Final Cut Studio depending on budget.

Final Cut Express HD 3.0- NOT compatible with intel I Mac ????

I just bought a new I MAC running 10.5.2 and for some reason when I try to load Final Cut XPRESS HD 3.0, it loads just fine but when i try to launch, an error window pops up stating this software requires certain hardware or software which is missing. * AGP GRAPHICS CARD. And then proceeds to NOT launch the program.
Hmmm??? My graphics card is: ATI RADEON HD 2600 PRO. I had the first IMAC 20"(white body) and loaded the same program on that machine. It worked great.
I will be bummed if this intel thang is what is cutting my feet out from under me.
Thanks for any help.

It's on the forum like every other day. Press the escape key to bypass the message. You're using non-Intel software on an Intel machine.

Is there a way to instal Final cut studio 2 in the new iMac with Lion?

My new iMac arrived with pre installed Os x Lion. When tried to instal FCS2 it gives me error that it can't open it because PowerPC apps are no longer supported. Geniuses . I'm wandering, since I can't downgrade to snow leopard, is there a way around this. Can I buy the snow leopard, instal only the Roseta , instal FCS2 and then uninstall the Roseta?
Has any of you encounter this problem?
Are the new iMacs exclusively done to run with Lion?

You will need to install Snow Leopard in order to be able to run the FCS 2 Installer since it requires Rosetta. Note however, that the applications do not require Rosetta (they are UB). So after having installed FCS you could now upgrade to Lion if you want .... but upgrading the OS over an installed version of FCS is not recommended practice.
Personally, I'd just get a copy of Snow Leopard and stick with that .... or get FCS 3 (and stick with Snow Leopard).

Can't update final cut studio 5.0.1 to 5.0.4

I am trying to upgrade my original version of final cut studio to 5.0.4. I have scoured the web for info and have tried everything to force the update. I've downloaded the 5.0.4 update file from apple. The installer window prompt tells me: THIS INSTALLER PACKAGE NEEDS TO RUN A PROGRAM TO DETERMINE IF IT CAN BE INSTALLED. DO YOU WANT TO CONTINUE. When I continue I get: FinalCutPro5.0.4Update cannot be installed on this computer. This updater is only able to update an existing Final Cut Pro 5.0, 5.0.1, 5.0.2, or 5.0.3 application. Please make sure the application is located in the Applications folder, and is called "Final Cut Pro". My hardrive apps folder has a file called 'Final Cut Pro HD' (it's 5.0.1). Then someone told me to move the original pkge file from the library to desktop to prompt the updater. Nothing seems to allow me to upgrade? I'm running OSX 10.3.9 and was running Quicktime 7.1.6 Now because Apple tech support told me to run the updater on everything so that Final Cut might be recognized I upgraded to 7.4.5 I hope I'm not going to regret the QuickTime upgrade? I need 5.0.4 because 5.0.1 is not recognizing my P2 files.

Thanks to you both, I found the misplaced booklets with the new serial number and am in the process of installing right now.
I've gotten so many new toys in the past couple months it's been difficult to keep everything straight...but what a great problem to have!

Final Cut Studio Upgrade: Printed Manuals?

Does anyone know if there are printed manuals included for each of the applications in the upgrade version of Final Cut Studio 2? They couldn't tell me at my local Apple Store and didn't have a boxed upgrade version to examine.
Thanks for whatever info you can provide!

Hi Gina,
If you buy FCPstudio2 (Full Package):
You get 4 printed manuals about FCP 6 and 1 about COLOR.
Manuals about Motion, Live Type, Compressor and so on are available from every software installed or upgraded when you go to HELP>USER MANUAL

Is Quicktime Pro included with Final Cut Studio?

Wikipedia's article on Quicktime Pro says that a Quicktime Pro license comes with Final Cut Studio. Is that true?
I have OS X 10.5.8 and FCS 2, but I can't even tell if I have Quicktime Pro. I see Quicktime Player in my applications folder (version 7.6.6), but I don't see Quicktime Pro.
Is Wikipedia right that I got a QT Pro license with FCS? If so, how do I activate it?
If not, do I just purchase the upgrade from the Apple Store? How do I install/activate the upgrade it?
Thanks

I'd like to re-open this topic. I'm not sure that I have QT Pro either. I recently upgraded the OS to 10.6.4--which included a new QT Player [10.0 (114)]. None of the pro features are there--or the old preferences (or the QT System Prefs). I don't use QT Pro features much, and it's only been about a month since the upgrade, so I didn't notice until now. I used to have it. Did I miss something?

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.
DG

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.

FINAL CUT STUDIO 5.1 (Universal) compatibility with Mac os 10.6.4

We have just purchased a brand-new Mac Pro running Mac OS 10.6.4 my question is this, are there any known incompatibilities with Final Cut Studio 5.1 (Universal) running on a Mac Pro with Mac os 10.6.4.

Try the Firewire Basic setting.
Also, your camera should be powered on and connected before the mac is turned on. Then, when you fire up the mac and launch FCP, close any projects that open with it.
Then, choose your Easy Setup before you open a new porject to capture into. Then it should work.
