Mac Pro - Final Cut Studio 2 - Adobe Production Premium - NO FLASH PLAYING!

I recently purchased a Mac Pro with Leopard, Final Cut Studio 2, and Adobe Production Premium suite. I got everything setup yesterday, and I exported a Quicktime reference file from Final Cut, and brought it into Flash CS3 Media Encoder. The file seemed to encode fine, but when I try to open it, it shows that the Flash Player opens, but the video never actually opens. I also tired to import the FLV file into Flash Pro, and it acts as though it imports, but it does let me preview it. The ONLY thing that I think could have caused a problem is that I also have Sorenson Squeeze installed, which has its own On2 VP6 encoder. Again, this may have nothing to do with it since I copied the file to another Mac machine that did not have Sorenson on it, and downloaded the standalone Flash Player, and it acted the same. Any ideas on why FLV files would not play back would be greatly appreciated. I have ALL updates installed for OS X Leopard, as well as the CS3 collection. Thanks in advance.

After downloading an FLV player, and realizing that Adobe Flash Player will not work, all is swimming.

  • All Final Cut Studio 2 products keep prompting for Serial Number

    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    1) Bought Final Cut Studio 2
    2) Installed it with the provided Serial Number
    3) Registered
    4) Opened each product - was prompted to enter name and serial number
    5) Tried reopening stuff like DVD Studio Pro 4, Final Cut Pro etc.. and am re-prompted with the same blanks to enter name and serial number... this happens even when I restart the computer.
    What gives?

    OK, I just spoke with Apple Care and got it fixed...
    I like when things work this well.
    Here is my simple translation of what he told me
    A) Make sure you have closed all applications.
    1) go to this folder:
    /Library/Application Support/ProApps/
    2) Find any file that has "_SystemID" in the name
    i.e. FinalCut_ProSystemID, DVDStudio_Pro_SystemID
    etc... These are left over from your previous versions.
    DELETE THESE FILES - yes all of them.
    Empty the trash too
    3) Restart Final Cut Pro and enter your Serial Number
    This is nice because now ALL of Studio 2.0 is serialized!
    4) Enjoy Final Cut Studio.
    Here is a more technical version below:

    Troubleshooting serial number issues with professional products
    If you're having difficulty entering a serial number when activating your professional software product, keep these tips in mind:
    * Make sure you are reading from the original serial number label that came with the product.
    * Be sure to enter your first and last name, and verify there are no mistakes in the serial number field.
    * Some numbers and letters look similar, so make sure you don't mistake a zero for the letter O and the number 1 for the letter i or lowercase L.
    * Enter the dashes in the serial number.
    * Make sure there are no spaces before or after the serial number.
    * Make sure that the serial number is valid for the product you're trying to serialize, for example:
    o Soundtrack serial numbers are not valid for serializing Soundtrack Pro
    o Upgrade serial numbers cannot be used with Academic or Not for Resale numbers from a previous version
    * If you've already serialized your application and downloading an update causes it to stop working, try removing your System ID file and enter your serial number again. The System ID file for your product is located in
    /Library/Application Support/ProApps/
    Remove the appropriate file for your product, then launch the application and enter your serial number again.

  • Is it possible to export Final Cut Pro X or .MOV to DVD Studio Pro (Final Cut Studio)?

    Is it possible to export Final Cut Pro X projects or .MOV to DVD Studio Pro (from Final Cut Studio v.3)? I'm using the free trial of Final Cut Pro X and later acquired a copy of Final Cut Studio (FCP 7, Compressor 3.5, DVD Studio Pro 4, Color 1.5, Motion 4, Soundtrack Pro 2).
    I don't like the default DVD export in FCPX, so I would like to do it on DVD Studio Pro. Is it possible to export the project or the final .MOV file to DVD Studio Pro?
    Additionally, can I use unfinished FCPX projects on FCP7?
    Is it possible to export from FCPX to Compressor 3.5 (Final Cut Studio)?
    Feedback would be greatly appreciated. As of this post, I have about 13 days left on my FCPX trial. Or would it just make sense to just use Final Cut Pro 7, since I have a permanent copy of it?
    Thank you.
    P.S. Where would be the best place to store projects or any other file related to Final Cut Studio or Final Cut Pro X? My MacBook Pro has 320GB built in storage (only 60GB available), and I have a 1TB external hard drive.
    What is best to store on the Macintosh internal hard drive?
    What is best to store on the external hard drive?

    Yes you can make DVDs in DVDSP using video exported from FCPX.
    There are some apps that will translate between X and 7- that said I would highly recommend not going back and forth as the translations are not 1:1 perfect.
    I would recommend storing all Events and Projects on the External drive.
    Compressor 3.5 will not accept exports directly from FCPX- you'll need Compressor 4 which is $49.
    Totally up to you whether you want to make the jump to X. 7 is an EOL'ed program, meaning there will not be another version of that application. Final Cut Pro X is the version being actively developed now.

  • Slim 2010 Mac mini & Final Cut Studio 3

    Hello all,
    Is anyone running Final Cut Studio 3 on one of the new 2010 slim Mac minis or mini server? Is it really slow or is it running OK.
    Thank you all very much.
    Message was edited by: MLCinema

    Some things to consider when you are deciding what to buy...
    What are your needs?
    Are you playing with FCS or will it be paying the bills?
    If you are planning on doing a lot of work then you will need an additional hard drive to your system drive either internal or external.
    Some machines don't allow for adding internal hard drives.
    You will want at least 2G's of RAM to run FCS
    Make sure you get a video card that can handle Motion if you plan on using that app.
    There are plenty more gotchas that can pop up depending on what your plans are so think it through and remember sometimes going cheaper can cost you more in the long run than if you had just shelled out a little more in the beginning

  • Is the JVC SR-DVM700 compatible with Macs and Final Cut Studio HD?

    Hello all.
    The company I work for is seriously thinking about purchasing the JVC SR-DVM700 next week (based on my recommendations). What I have discovered however is that there are very little user reviews and even less info on whether it is compatible with Final Cut Studio HD. Everything I have found 'seems' to indicate that it will work but I need a definite answer. The lack of user info makes me a little nervous.
    Here are my questions:
    If this system is incompatible, what would be a good alternative within the same price range?
    What (if any), are the problems that crop up while using it and are they easily fixed?
    What are your general thoughts on the system?
    I really like the idea of a MiniDV, DVD and hard drive all in one machine but I need more info in case I need to put the brakes on this purchase.
    Thanks for all your help.

    This is a FCP HD, but no Final Cut Studio HD
    My guess is that you are trying to run FCP 4.5 HD on an Intel Mac.
    It isn't reliable even if you could install it.
    You need FCS2 -- at the upgrade price.

  • Leopard Adobe CS3 Production Premium - NO FLASH PLAYING

    I recently purchased a Mac Pro with Leopard, Final Cut Studio
    2, and Adobe Production Premium suite. I got everything setup
    yesterday, and I exported a Quicktime reference file from Final

    I'm having the exact same problem on my Mac Pro with Leopard,

    my software updates. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Logic Studio 2 and Final Cut Studio 2...will they play ball?

    I just bought Logic Pro Studio2 and it will not allow me to install STP3 and Compressor 3.5 because of my current copy of FCP Studio 2 that is installed onto the same machine.
    What is the work around for this? It would be nice to be able to use the newer software. Could I just uninstall STP2 and Compressor 3 and then attempt the install again with Logic Studio 2 and let it do its thing?
    Thanks guys in advance.

    Hello and welcome to the forum.
    Final Cut Studio is a suite of applications for many video-related tasks. The video editing component of FCS is Final Cut Pro. The main differences between Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Express are FCP's ability to handle natively many different types of media (particular HD) and its media manager and color correction tools.
    Final Cut Express is functionally similar to FCP, but works with a limited range of video formats, resolutions, etc. Working in FCE is excellent preparation for an eventual move to FCP if your needs grow, but many people find that FCE fulfills their needs at a fraction of the price.

  • What's the right mac for Final Cut Studio?

    Hi, I am a cameraman who wants to start learning final cut pro 5 to at first get a dvd together of my work (about 10 mins)and then maybe do some professional editing down the line. I am a bit lost with what mac I need to run studio on as I'm hearing conflicting voices. I can afford to buy an iMac G5 with 1.5 gig of ram. Will all the applications in studio run on this machine? should i bump up the hardrive to 250? Worst comes to worst should i wait and buy a power mac? Thanks for any help.
    Imac g5   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Let's get serious. You are trying to put together a short reel, not edit Cold Mountain.
    If you believe you will make your living from this machine, get a professional grade box and all the bells and whistles to go with it.(max ram, multiple internal SATA drives, big monitors, etc)
    If you want to get your feet wet, develop an understanding of the program and its basic operational structure, most anything that meets the minimum configuration will do. (Heck, you can edit on a powerbook...)
    In the first case, (the professional box) if you spend 5 minutes rather than 15 minutes waiting for a render, it makes a differnece, time IS money. In the second case (learning curve), it doesn't matter. It's your time.
    Cheers,

  • New Mac Pro/ Final Cut X User--Jaggies and Low Res Playback

    Good morning,
    New Macx Pro with Cinema display and Final Cut X (demo) user. Working with P2 footage and noticed jagged egdes in upon playback. In other words, the footages appears as low res. I have the program monitor is set to full res and "fit". I am also testing Premier on my Mac (I've used Premier for years on a PC) and noticed a similar issue, but the jaggies aren't quite as bad.
    This issue has me worried. Any insight would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    GL

    Okay, problem solved...whew! It turns out the playback setting in preferences was indeed set to "better..." and not high. Well, that deserves a...duh!!!
    Thank you for the recommendation.
    I also fixed the Premier issue. I had to specify custom presets for the project.
    Regards,
    GL

  • Can u upgrade Final Cut studio product key from a G-5 platform to a new intel processor?

    Can u upgrade Final Cut studio product key from a G-5 platform to a new intel processor?

    Not sure here ... you want to upgrade Final Cut Studio or do you want to move the version you have to an Intel Mac? Both is possible if you meet the system requirments.
    1. Upgrade FCS
    The Final Cut Studio upgrade provides an upgrade path from Final Cut Studio 2, Final Cut Studio 1, Production Suite, or any prior version of Final Cut Pro. Academic and Not-For-Resale (NFR) versions are not eligible for upgrade.
    2. Upgrade to Intel Mac
    You may run the applications on one desktop and one laptop at the same time

  • Black Magic Intensity Pro Card & Final Cut Studio

    I'm in the process of purchasing a Mac Pro to use for my New Wedding Video Business. I have purchsed the New Sony HVR-HD1000. I'm looking to get everything at one time and something has me very confused. I hope that someone can please help me.
    As I understand it. I take my New Sony HD Cam via Firewire800 and Final Cut Studio will just suck it all in.
    If thats the case, What is the need for products such as the "Black Magic Intensity Pro Card"?
    Do I need it when my Mac Pro/Final Cut will import my footage anyways?
    Please help me make a sound decision.
    Thank you for your time.

    No disrespect taken. I might not be very technical but some times I wonder if I'm doing the right thing.
    Maybe some history will help explain my situation.
    I have a old cheap-o hand held Sony SD Mini DV Cam that I used all year to puts around with. As a test of my skills went to weddings and events for fun. All of these events had "Professional Videographers" I was just here for fun with my little camera.
    For fun I would turn in my little DVD and the response was incredible. Even though my footage sucked compared to all the "Pro Cameras" being used it was my skills in editing, having fun with the video, and using lots of Motion graphics and titles. I became so popular that people wanted me to actually film events as a paid rig!
    With no training what so ever and just tinkering with Final Cut Studio - I have a long list of "word of mouth" gigs with people waiting for me to film for them.
    My parents then decided to give me a few gifts. (1) Sony HVR-HD 1000 and (2) JVY GY100HD Cameras. I now have all the gear I need. I never owned cameras like this before so as I started looking into getting a Mac Pro - All these questions came to mind.
    My point is - I used a POS camera and consumers ate it all up. I didnt worry about "Color Space" or ProRess anything. I just imported as DV - edit the footage - have fun with it - burn it on DVD and call it a day.
    I'm just seriously asking - now that I have nice cameras that didnt cost me a dime - cant I just continue the same way I have been with my POS camera?
    Is anything more than just Firewire800 to my Mac really that critical for Weddings on SD DVD's?

  • Question about Final Cut Studio 3/Final Cut Pro 7

    Last year I bought Final Cut Studio 2 and got a student discount.
    I was thinking about upgrading to Final Cut Studio 3, but I saw a post that said you can't upgrade if you have the academic version. First of all, is this true, and secondly how can I tell if I have the academic version?
    If I can't upgrade, I can't afford to buy the whole package again. And surely I should have been informed of this! But can I edit a project on Final Cut Pro 6 and then work on it on Final Cut Studio 7, and back again? I presume not, but it's worth asking because I'm pretty much screwed if not and I can't get the upgrade.
    Thanks

    I want to upgrade because the macs at uni have upgraded, and I don't live near the uni I attend so it isn't practical for me to stay in their edit suites till late like everybody else does. I only bought the mac and final cut studio last year for this reason! So I prefer to edit from 2 machines: Mine, when I can, and the ones at uni when I'm collaborating with the 'crew'.
    However, I cannot see academic version written anywhere. And I know this is going to make me sound even more stupid than I already do, but I can't remember if I got the student discount on Final Cut, or whether it was just on the mac. Does anyone know where I should be looking. I've checked the 'about final cut pro' details and looked through the packaging (and my emails for the receipt) but I cannot see anything.
    Thanks

  • Upgrade Path to Final Cut Studio

    Hi there
    I have inherited a box of oldish Final Cut Pro / Final Cut Studio discs complete with serial numbers. All official Apple products with stickers & Retail Versions.
    *Final Cut Pro HD retail
    *Final Cut Studio Upgrade from FCP
    I've not installed them on my MBP so far as I was looking to get a new edition and was hoping to qualify for the upgrade price.
    So my question is this:
    Can I buy the latest Final Cut Studio Upgrade Version and just use the serial number stickers or will I need to install all the discs in turn. Also will I qualify.

    If you acquired those old versions because someone else upgraded from them to a newer version, technically:
    1. The old versions should no longer be used by anyone.
    2. You shouldn't use them to again upgrade to a 2nd copy of a newer version.
    There is no restriction in the upgrade that would prevent multiple upgrades from occurring. Let your conscience be your guide.
    Caveat: I'm not a lawyer and I didn't thoroughly read the SW license agreement again.
