Just upgraded to Yosemite, now Final Cut Pro doesn't work

Hi I just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10 on a 2010 MacBook Pro, and the only major tool I use on there now doesn't work.... Final Cut Pro 10.0.9.
The icon in the tray has a line through it and when you click on it, a panel opens advising that I can't use it because I have the wrong version. It doesn't advise what I should do. How can I get Final Cut Pro working again..... urgently!  I've seen a temporary fix somewhere on a forum which involves going in to applications and launching from somewhere deep in there, but not ideal. Whats the proper fix please and why would Apple allow something like this to happen without covering it? Its an apple product on an apple machine and Im a video producer and I have been let down with this...

Thanks to all your lovely help, advice and support I have now found the purchases section of my App Store account and in the Purchases section is the offending NOT PIRATE! copy of FCPX and next to is a button which says INSTALL. I can only image that is the upgrade route - it doesnt say. I have now hit the install button and hopefully that will be it. Would I be correct in saying that Compressor also needs a similar upgrade or am I going to get abuse for asking that as well?

  • I just bought Final Cut Studio, now Final Cut Pro X came out. Can I get a refund on Final Cut Studio now that it is obsolete?

    I think this is so bad on Apple's part. I just bought Final Cut Studio, and now they release Final Cut Pro X. Apple keeps a veil of secrecy about the release of their products, but if I had known Final Cut Pro X would have integrated the main Final Cut Studio components I would have waited. How could anybody have predicted an App from the App Store would integrate 3 of the extensive components of Final Cut Studio? I am ticked off that I spent $1000 for FCS, and now Final Cut Pro X basically makes it obsolete! Is it possible that Apple will offer a refund for Final Cut Studio, since really they should not have been selling it so close to the release of Final Cut Pro X?

    Thanks for the feedback everyone. I am more at peace of mind that there may be a market now that Final Cut Studio is off the shelves. Basically I bought Studio to ramp up my video making abilities from iMovie for promoting my son's adaptive skiing. Studio gave a lot of great functionality for me, but I also bought FCP X and it has most of what I need. I had thought that there was no way to have the rest of the Studio (Motion, Color, Soundtrack Pro) in FCP X unless you had the full Studio before hand. Some Apple folks thought similarly to me, which is why I dropped the grand on it. Now I found that Color and the Soundtrack piece are integrated into FCP X. I was baffled. I am still not clear on what I can do with the full Studio that I cannot do with FCP X? As with any new software release there are bugs at first. I am guessing that if I ride out the bugs much of the functionality from the Full Studio will be in FCP X (and Motion and Compressor Apps), thus making the Studio eventually obsolete, since the 64 bit and full use of my Quad Core Processor is definitely one step up, with some of the other step downs. I mean, check out what Conan's team has done!

    I was using gimp fine for years with my osx 10 6 8 up until yesterday.  Last night when I downloaded yosemite, gimp has not been working ever since.  I clicked on the icon and it said that x11 wasn't compatible with yosemite and lead me to a link from apple support which said that I need to download xquartz for gimp to work. 

  • Installed a ATI Radeon HD 5770, now Final Cut Pro won't even open - says 0mb Vram?

    Installed a ATI Radeon HD 5770, now Final Cut Pro won't even open - says 0mb Vram?  Only dvi port work the two mini's not at all.  Bad card?  Macpro 3,1

    I would guess there is a a corrupt media in the project. You could also try to copy a part of it to new project which is shorter and see what happens. 5 Hours is extremely long. Best to divide it to smaller sections.

  • Final Cut Pro does not work with Yosemite. Can it be fixed?

    Final Cut Pro does not work with Yosemite. Can it be fixed?

    Hi Tom, I don't know if you can help me.
    I'm using Final Cut version 10.1.4 with Yosemite 10.10.2 and whenever I open FCP it opens for about 5 seconds (not allowing me to click anywhere) before closing with the message  "Final Cut Pro quit unexpectedly. click reopen to open the application again. This report will be sent to apple automatically." I have tried opening it multiple times and the same thing has been happening over and over again and i've tried everything I could find on the internet and nothing is working.
    HELP.
    Jada.

  • I can't get my projects in Final Cut Pro X to work in 1080p. One turned out to be 1080p but I did everything the same as the ones that did not.  ***?  Any ideas?

    I can't get my projects in Final Cut Pro X to work in 1080p. One turned out to be 1080p by "accident" but I did everything the same as the ones that did not. Same camera/settings (shot in 60i).  I didn't really care cause I had to get some stuff done, but now I know I "can" dp them in HD but can't figure why the one went up to YT in full HD (and made a copy in my movies folder.  That one project acted totally different than the other 5 but I didn't change anything.  Can't get it to work again. ***?  Any ideas?

    No problem! If you're worried about more complicated edits (which in all honesty, should work no matter how many clips you select or how many effects are attached to them), you can always compound a clip first, and then copy it over after if you're afraid of lots of track clutter getting in the way. Not sure if they would break apart afterwards though if you wanted them to.

  • Final cut pro x not working after Lion install.

    So i installd Lion yesterday but now Final cut pro X is not working... it starts up but is never usable...it jammz right away...
    I use a Macbook Pro 15 inch. 2.53/8gb

    Also have this issue - the only "fix" at present seems to be renaming the /Library/Application Support/iLifeMediaBrowser to something like _iLifeMediaBrowser and then launching FCPX - it runs straight away.
    This also fixes a similar issue with iMovie 11 under 10.7
    Really nasty bug that needs looking into from Apple, I'll file a bug report.

  • Final Cut Pro doesn't start

    Hi!
    Got a problem with Final Cut Pro.
    When I start it, the first window with the logo, version info and loading info appears. But it disappears after a few seconds, and Final Cut Pro doesn't start at all.
    what's the problem and how can I solve it?

    anybody with even an ounce of self reliance could tell you this, its the single most often raised issue on this and every other FCP forum and resource.
    ... whew, writing that was probably more long winded than just telling you the answer so clearly I'm the muggins here!
    sounds like your FCP prefernces have corupted (who knows exactly why and how it happens, but it happens all too often)
    download and install FCP Rescue form http://fcprescue.andersholck.com/ its a synch to use.
    you can use it to trash your corupted prefs, and then FCP will make new good ones when you next launch it.
    you can also use it to back up a good set, once you've reset all you particualr preferences in the User Settings...
    and you can then use it again to restore those good prefs if and when it all happens next time

  • Final Cut Pro 5 quit working. Please help!

    I have Final Cut Pro 5, which worked two weeks ago when I opened it. Last Monday (4/27) I ran a system update. Yesterday when I tried to open FCP5 the startup screen popped up like usual then disappeared (along with the black triangle under the icon in the Dock) and the program ceased to launch. It hasn't opened since. I tried reinstalling the program and got the same results.
    Is it possible that I installed something in that system update that is causing a conflict and not allowing FCP5 to open???
    Here's what I installed on 4/27/07:
    LiveType Update 2.0.2
    Pro Application Support 3.1
    Pro Applications Update 2005-01 1.0
    Cinema Tools Update 3.0.3
    Motion 2.0.1 Update 2.0.1
    Final Cut Pro Update 5.0.4
    Security Update 2007-004 1.0
    Compressor Update 2.0.1
    Apple Qmaster Update 2.0.1
    Pro Applications Update 2005-02 1.0
    Soundtrack Pro update 1.0.3
    THANKS in advance for any insight/problem solving!!

    Welcome to the forums.
    When FCP stops working like it should, that typically points to corrupt preferences. Trash them and FCP will make new ones. This typically solves the issue.
    Download and run FCP Rescue. It trashes all three preference files for FCP. Simply click TRASH...then launch FCP again.

  • Final Cut pro doesn't play the frames

    My final cut pro doesn't play the frames in the application.
    The whole time it works great but at ones this happend.

    Couple of things to check and try.
    1) In Viewer Display options check to see whether Better Performance is checked in the Quality section. If not, check it and that should help you set real time playback with a slight reduction in quality in the Viewer. However, it will not have any affect on your project.
    2) If that doesn't work, consider generating Proxy files by eight clicking clips >Transcode Media. There is also a setting in Viewer Display Options to use Proxy in editing your project. Before you export the finished project, remember to change that setting  back to Original/Optimized.
    3) If that doesn't work, download a speed test and check the throughput of your media drive. It should be a separate drive from your start up disk and should be connected by Thunderbolt (fastest) USN3 (next fastest) or Firewire 800.

  • Upgrade OLD version of Final Cut Pro?

    I was recently given a unopened version of Final Cut Pro 3...If I install it is it possible to upgrade it to the current version? If so, is that complicated? Expensive? Anything else I should know?
    Thanks,
    Peter

    I don't actually have FCS 3 yet.
    As to whether it's the right editing package for you, what video format will you be working with?
    Is that format covered by iMovie or another editing software and is its functionality enough?
    What is your level of video editing experience?
    For my part, I prefer Final Cut Studio and know it well. I have yet to see something that works better for my budget, expectations and needs.
