Live Type not in FCP 7 & I need it badly

I sold my old system that I had and was using FCP 6 with Live Type. On my new system I got the FCP 7 and Live Type is not on there. I am screwed because all of my graphics and templates that I put togther are in Live Type and I need the program to run them. I have never used Motion and it seems to be a huge pain to try to learn and I don't have time to learn it to keep my editing going. Is there a way to get Live Type back on my system with out having the old FCP 6 pack. I do not have that anymore. I need help fast!!!

That is where the problem is. I let all the FCP 6 discs go with the system since I was getting the full suite & package on the new computer. Now I do not have them the load Live Type onto the system.

  • Live Type not loaded when I loded Final Cut Studio

    I just upgraded to a Mac Pro from an i Mac. I loaded Final Cut Studio and Live Type was not loaded I do not see it in my applications folder. Do I have to reload the whole Final Cut app. or can I load Live Type only. If so from which disc would I have to load Live Type ?

    You can install it from and older version of FCP. Run the installer and it will tell you which discs to load.

  • Live Type Not Opening

    I have FCE 4 and Live Type came with the program. Every time I try to open Live Type I get an error message. I have tried to reinstall it 3x and no luck. Each time my computer says the installation was successful. Below is the error message:
    An unexpected error occurred.
    (* -[NSProTabViewItem _displayedLabelForRect:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x8fc58d0)
    What do I do?

    I had to get my hard drive erased and install from scratch....it was a pain. After 45 minutes on the phone with apple support they were the ones to suggest either that or a new computer. I chose the former. Good luck

  • Can't open colleague's fcp timeline - need advice badly

    Hi everyone,
    I've not used FCP before, so I may be making some very basic mistakes; at this point I'm completely befuddled. Here's the situation (I'll try to be brief, but I don't want to leave out information that might be important):
    I've been asked to make some changes to a video that someone else cut, on FCP. I was given a fw hard drive that has two folders: one is named 'Final Cut Pro Program Files', and it contains three folders ('Audio Render Files', 'Capture Scratch' and 'Render Files') that seem to have nothing in them, AND three '.fcp' files (one a longer version, one a short version, and I don't know what the other is), which I'm assuming are timelines for three versions of the video that this guy cut. Along with the 'Final Cut Program Files' folder, there's a folder 'Raw Video' which contains three folders, each relating to the three fcp project files, and each containing QT files.
    My conundrum is that, when I launch FCP and carefully navigate in the 'Choose a File' window to the folder on the external hard drive marked 'Final Cut Pro Program Files', the three .fcp files are in here, but they're greyed out... so I can't import them.
    When I emailed the fellow who created these files (I don't know which version of FCP he was using, by the way, but I think it was an older one. I'm using version 5), he wrote back to say: "I just double-clicked on this file and the whole sequence downloaded and then popped open"
    He added that "the browser or link from source files to the timeline is mostly in the "bigger file" -- in other words, you need to have all three open at the same time".
    This has me confused even more.
    Can anyone advise me? I'm not being paid to do this work, but it's for a good cause (helping people in Lesotho), and I told the woman who asked me to do it that it shouldn't be hard to do - - and now I'm caught and falling behind.
    Any help would be deeply appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Malcolm

    Let's see if we can get this sorted.
    first off, put the project files on your desktop. don't try to open them from the fw drive.
    After you've moved them simply double click one of them. It SHOULD launch fcp and open the project. If this is from an older version of FCP, you will get a message that the file needs to be updated. Click OK.
    IF the media shows up as "offline" you will get a prompt to reconnect the media. Follow the prompts and point at the fw drive. Be sure to click the "relative paths" box.
    If this doesn't open it up for you, post back.
    And you had better keep that manual handy, you're gonna need it!

  • Audigy SE not working...NEED HELP BAD!

    I have been really frustrated over the past week trying to fix this "no sound" problem. There is no sound coming from speakers and yes, I already checked if it was my speakers and they work perfectly fine. For some reason whenever I play a music file from either iTunes or Windows Media Player it says its playing and no sound is coming out. I checked all drivers in device manager and they are all updated, all enabled, and all working. I already checked if it was on mute and if the volume was on. I need desperate help with this extremely difficult problem because im really, REALLY frustrated with this issue. Thanks and please HELP!! =(

    Hi folks,?Initially my audigy 2 nx was not working. But after installing the drivers for vista it started to work. But unfortunately, the other application from creative media source is not working. When I press EAX it says '[color="#000099">the application with the device not found'. But the sound card is working fine.[color="#000099">?[color="#000099">I have even mailed creative with the details. They have sent me a mail with the drivers and an application driver. I have installed the application driver too, but still no luck.[color="#000099">?[color="#000099">Kind regards,[color="#000099">Jwell[color="#000099">?

  • Transitions wont place on Live type files

    I have imported a set of basic titles from Live Type in to FCP HD 4.5 and placed them in the timeline above the movie clips which are 4.3 PAL.
    When i go to place the transition which is a simple cross dissolve the transition will only get placed at the beginning of the next text clip and not in the middle as i want and is only 1 frame long.
    I have tried it with a lower third text from within FCp and it works fine.
    I have tried the usual stuff but can't seem to sort it i may be missing something simple but it all looks ok to me.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Kev

    "The only thing i didn't do was to render the clips in Live Type as i wanted to do this in FCP in case i needed to adjust the clip. Would this make any difference? "
    No... it won't make a difference. You're importing the .ipr file into FCP right? And using that on the timeline? that's the correct workflow. This enables you to 'open in editor' as you have been doing.
    Perhaps there isn't enough media (handle) on the other clip that the livetype clip is dissolving into? The only reason any transition will not extend, or be the length you want it to be is if there is not enough media on either end of the clip.
    A super quick way of checking if you have enough media is to use the Slip Tool... Press 'S' to toggle to the slip tool, then click and hold down on the clip in the timeline (be careful not to slip the clip along!). A grey 'bar' will extend beyind the end of the clip showing how much media is there. You can do this to both clips on either side of the transition as a quick test.

  • Live Type Update has never occured

    2 very savi mac users in my office told me that I just needed to go to the Apple and select Software Updates.
    Since Live Type 1.2 was brand new I've never had a software update for this program. Has there been one released?
    The same applies to Motion.
    Thanks for any "schooling"
    10.3.9 OS
    Live Type 1.2
    FCP 4.5

    LiveType version 1.2 is the version that's included with FCP 4.5. That's as high as you'll go unless you upgrade to a newer version of Final Cut.

  • Live Type Sequence settings

    I have been able to import a Live Type title into FCP Studio 2 timeline. For it to play smoothly, FCP instructs me to change my settings but I don't want those settings for the rest of the project. How do I make the Live Type title work smoothly but keep my present settings?
    Thanks.

    I hope I have understand your issue here.
    What are the timeline settings vs the LiveType settings? I mean if FCP (i've only used FCE, not FCP) sequence timeline first clip is NTSC and the LT2 clip is PAL, then FCP would prefer that the LT2 clip be NTSC so it is politely advising so.
    See post (I hope I have undertsood your question) for how to change the Project Information in LiveType.

  • FCE not seeing new Live Type files correctly... (Leopard issue?)

    There appears to be a problem in LiveType and FCE as of Leopard.
    LiveType files created BEFORE Leopard was installed import fine, but files created AFTER Leopard was installed will not import and return an error:
    File Error. 1 File Recognized. 0 Access Denied. 1 file unknown.
    Live Type files that are rendered as movies are importable and that is the workaround. But of course they cannot be edited again unless the Live Type file is reopened and re-rendered.
    IOW, no import of a Live Type file directly into FCE.
    Pro apps download doesn't appear to apply to FCE and you need a FCP serial # to access it anyway.
    All suggestions appreciated.

    Never mind. I figured it out.

  • Imac won't let me install Final cut studio 2..it will let me install the upgrade, but it has no live type and i need it to work on my current projects. How do I get Live type back installed in iMac

    I just purchased an iMac for home and went to install final cut studio 2 and it gave me an error saying something about "PowerPC" not used or something like that. Installed the studio upgrade just fine...but it has no "Live Type" which I need to work on projects I have been using in my Mac Pro at my work place. How do I get "Live Type" to install in this iMac? Downloaded Live Type upgrade but that won't update cause there's no "Live Type" in the applications.

    It sounds like you have Lion installed on your new imac, although your profile says SL 10.6.8 (you may want to change this.)
    If you have the Snow Leopard install disc I believe you can install "Rosetta" from the extras folder which will then, if you have the original FCS2 discs , allow you to select and install Live Type and LIve Type content only from the custom install options.
    I hope this will work for you.

  • Can't import LIVE TYPE files .ipr into FCP -  FILE ERROR: UNKOWN FILE.

    I have had this problem for a while and simply just worked around it. But now I am editing so much more that I want it the way it use to be.
    The Problem is FCP 6 will not let me import LIVE TYPE files. I have to render them into an .mov 1st in livetype. I use to be able to just drag the file into FCP and render it there after I tweeked it. Now it won't, it gives me this error- FILE ERROR: Unknown File.
    I have already uninstalled Live type along with its PLIST as well as FCP. Re installed and still keep getting the same error. I can't remember when it started, all I know is I want it fixed.
    Thank you for any assistance anyone can offer.

    What are the Project Properties settings? do they match the Sequence setting in FCP?
    What elements are used in your LiveType composition?
    Are you including images or background video?
    If so, post the codec that the video uses. If there are images, the file type and color space.

  • What particular FCP bundle has Live Type included?

    Hello
    Most FCP packages like this one don't appear to have to have Live Type included?
    http://www.superwarehouse.com/AppleFinal_Cut_Studio_v._5.1/MA285ZA/ps/1483013
    Here's another one (academic version that does)
    http://cgi.ebay.com/APPLE-FINAL-CUT-STUDIO-HD-5-1-PRO-FREE-SHIPPING_W0QQitemZ320 117452377QQihZ011QQcategoryZ80245
    Don't know much about academic, except it runs on both PowerPC and Intel Macs? The academic version isn't eligible for upgrading, otherwise this software is identical to retail version - be cautious of it?
    I was looking for a an older (unregistered), bundle that does have 'Live Type'
    Thanx

    Andy
    Unless I'm missing something, when you read the entire description for that link that I sent you, I can't find mention of 'Live Type'
    Is it there? As I said, perhaps they just don't put that on the outside of the box?
    Andy - actually I was using that link to ONLY describe the features - I can actually buy a legit sealed box of version 1 for about $600 - and you can't beat that - yes it's legal and legit - most folks here immediately assume that you're gonna be foolish enough to get ripped off - or do something wrong - not me - I'm very experienced - I was just trying to save some money....
    Thanx

  • Live Type Template not displaying correctly in FCE

    I'm trying to use the "Ink Title" template from the Live Type Template Browser: File > Open Template > Template Browser.
    But when I import the .ipr file into FCE 3.5.1 it comes across with a transparent background and is not showing the artwork. I set up each of the other "Ink" templates and imported them into FCE and they run fine -- with the Ink design.
    Can you tell me what I might be doing that is keeping the "Ink Title" template from displaying correctly?
    Thanks.

    You have to go to the sequence settings in Live Type and check Render Background. Press Apple + 0 and you will see the Render Background Check box. I bet it is not checked. Hope this works. Tell me if it doesn't.
