Lost one of my Final Cut Pro Discs - Can support help me?

Hi,
Just got a new macbook pro and am installing a copy of Final Cut Studio 2 on it. (Previously had an old G5 where I installed studio)
It's a registered, official copy of Final Cut Studio 2 (Academic) and I can't seem to find 2 of my discs. Is there anything support can do for me? Or am I screwed?

Give Apple care a call and plead your case. Their number is included with the documentation that came with the software. Only they can send you replacement disks.
If you purchased it from a store, having the information about where you purchased the software including a receipt would probably be useful. If you bought it used from a person, I'd say you have a much lower chance for relief.
Good luck.

What is the oldest version of Final Cut Pro HD that supports...?

What is the oldest version of Final Cut Pro HD that supports clips from Panasonic P2 Cameras?

You must have 5.0.4 or later.
Nothing earlier will work:

There is no upgrade. It's a separate application.

Lost my Final Cut Pro disc, but I have the serial/license number

So basically I want to take my final cut pro off of one computer and put it on another. But I don't have my disc, I do have the serial/license number so is there anyway I can install it on my other computer without the disc? Or is there anyway to get a replacement disc? Thanks for your help.

A few weeks ago, I suggested to someone here who was in the same predicament that they contact Apple with proof of purchase to see if they could get replacement discs. They were told that this was not an option.
So how do you lose $1300 worth of software discs in the first place? Doesn't something kick in that says "these have to be put in a safe place" ?
Mine are in a deposit box at the bank along with my Adobe stuff and Cinema4D discs -afterall, I invested several thousands of dollars in them.
This must be something new.
I unfortunately lost my disks 3 years ago and Apple, with proof of purchase replaced them.

I need to burn a Final Cut pro project onto a DVD. I watched a tutorial but they were using Final cut Pro 10. How do I burn one just using Final Cut Pro? and can I go through IDVD?

I need to burn a Final Cut Pro project onto a DVD. I watched a tutorial but they were using Final cut Pro 10. How do I burn a project just using Final Cut Pro? and can I go through IDVD? ( oh and how can I finalize the project?) Thanks!

I did that already it it only burned one section of the project. How do I export a master file? Can i just save it on the computer then take it to IDVD? Thank you so much for helping me!

Have you tried to deinterlace the clip in Final Cut Pro X? Select the clip, go to Inspector > Info Tab > Settings View and check the de-interlace box.

Hi guys,
Well let me tell you...
I make the easy setup with 108060i and now is working good and printing to tape, but is so slow...
I remember that before I use to print to tape in 720x 480 cause is more faster and easy, in fact the tv channels doesnt accept tapes in high def! Is absurd!!
But I need to know how chance the settings audio/video to 720 x 480 but I already try with every single combination and no one works!
thanks again!
Also... I need to know what external hard drive is the best and faster to keep my finalcut archives and after make print to tape!
I have one seagate 1TB but this have an option that I can avoid that is that the disc go to sleep at the 5 minutes and this screw my print to tape work!
Did you know some one good with Fire Wire??
thanks a lot, and have a great day!

I can't open a Final Cut Pro 6 file in Final Cut Pro 10. Please help!

I am a long time user of Final Cut Pro 6. I finished a video for a client but my computer was giving me issues because it's older and needs cleaned off so it is slow and it's affecting the video. I downloaded Final Cut Pro 10 trial on my laptop and tried opening the file in Final Cut Pro 10. No go. I thought that it would open because usually it isn't a problem when trying to open older files in newer programs. I understand, however, that Final Cut Pro 10 has been re-writted so it presents a problem. Can anyone please help me with this?
Thanks

Russ has answered your question.
What follows constitutes bully pulpitism.
Apple has a long history of abandoning legacy software and hardware. I would be VERY careful before I bought into the the next iteration of Apple software. The real conundrum is Adobe seems bent on extracting blood from stones with its new subscription model so it becomes a choice of lessor evils. Do you pick "the next great thing" (whatever that means) from a company that you know will cut you off at the kness or do you pick something that has a high degree of stability but will bleed you over the long run?
Not an easy choice.

Mac App store and Final Cut Pro X can a single Apple account purchase 3 separate copies of Final Cut X? Also how do we allow our editors to update FCPX, but not have access to the credit card?

I work for a medium sized compand 400+ people. We have a 3 person video crew. How does our company start an Apple account that will allow us to purchase three separate copies of Final Cut Pro X, but not allow us access Credit Card info, but still allows us to update purchased software? Surely Apple cators to small businesses needing multiple lisences. I appreciate any feedback, thanks!

I would assume that since your company has a video department, it probably also has an IT department. Have them set up the needed account(s) and download from the App Store for you.
You should also contact Apple about a mulit-seat licensing arrangement, but those usually involve 25 seats or more.
Apple doesn't really cater to small businesses ... or any business group in particular. They primarily cater to the consumer market.

Log & Capture Screen not opening and Final Cut Pro just quits! HELP!

Hi everyone,
I've been searching through the forums and reading up on similar issues but to no avail my problem still exists and I'm about to put a hammer to my computer. I have a G5 Mac at work and use my G4 for home use. Earlier today I was at work and was capturing my footage perfect using my Canon XH A1 using firewire and everything went well. Later on in the day when working on my G4, using the same settings and equipment from earlier, when I hit apple+8 it shows that the program is understanding my command but after a min without a screen appearing, final cut pro just quits. Now I've tried everything from deleting my preferences, final cut user data, you name it and I've tried yet still not able to get the screen to capture. I've even tried switching the firewire port just in case its a bad connection and still nothing. Can someone help me out so my computer can live to see another day.
Thank You

You updated to 10.5?
What FCP 5 version are you running -5.0 or 5.1?
You need 5.1 if you have Mac OS X 10.5.
Also, get rid of the Norton AV -it's a terrible resource hog and interferes with everything.
I would go as far as to suggest Norton is trying to check the incoming data from your video capture.
Turn it off at least, and see if there is any improvement.
If you must use AV to avoid passing something to Windows users, get a free copy of ClamXav. It can be set to check only incoming stuff like Mail and downloads. Has a very small footprint and is only active when it should be. I use ClamXav myself as I often deal with FTP transfers.

I'm new to FCP and I can't find any information on this issue. Is there a setting that would prevent me from extending the time for this transition?

Does Final Cut Pro offer native support for DVCPRO HD 720p25?

I would like to online a DVCPRO HD project on a Final Cut Pro suite with an HD i/o card, but I just wanted to make sure that the latest Final Cut Pro offers support for DVCPRO HD 720p25 before making the jump.

Thanks for the info. I will check if the production company's Blackmagic HD card supports DVCPRO 720p25.
Just for your information, we have offline edited on an Avid MC Adrenaline. We have had the biggest problems ingesting the media since we shot on a Varicam at 25p and the Avid wouldn't accept firewire. So we ended up cutting in 30i. Which now ***** since the online is a pain.
It seems like we will export an EDL per video track from the Avid, then hopefully find a company or a person who will convert our 30fps EDL to 25fps via the software EDLMax24. Then import the EDLs into a Final Cut Pro HD suite with a Blackmagic HD card via HD-SDI, and online from the HD AJ-1400 deck. And hopefully that will work.
The only outstanding thing is to find someone with EDLMAX24 since it retails at 600USD.

Final Cut Pro 5 dvd writing help!!!!

Hello, I'm new to Final Cut Pro
I've finished my project, I now need to write it to a dvd as I need to present it at University.
I can't figure out how to write it to a dvd so that it works in my dvd player.
Please help.

#3 output lossless DV
Shane's Stock Answer #3:
To export your DV project so there is no loss in quality, simply go to the File Menu and select EXPORT>QUICKTIME MOVIE. Not Quicktime Conversion, fot this will compress the footage. Make sure the settings match your timeline settings, make it self contained and you are set.
Open iDVD. Create a nifty menu. Import the video. Burn the disk.

Help, i can't find final cut pro in application support

I am using Final Cut Pro X and I am unable to install effect plugins since Final Cut Pro does not show up in Application Support

All CrumplePop effects come as installers! Simply run it, and it puts the files the right place...
If, for some reason, you need to install it manually, they should be in:
Effects:
~/Movies/Motion Templates/Effects/
Titles:
~/Movies/Motion Templates/Titles/
