New MacBook Final Cut Studio More Detials.

Hi since my latest posts have not been very informational Than here is a complete new more detailed one.

It can record at 17mbps highest data rate so far.
It records for 1 hour at HA
Has no FireWire.

I plan on purchasing the new MacBook. "Specs below"
MacBook 3rd option
2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
320GB Hard Drive
4GB ram "I know HD requires 4GB of ram"
NVIDIA GeForce 9400M with 256MB of shared main memory

Final Cut Studio And Shake 4.1
How well will Motion 3 work on the new MacBook with Apple Pro Res 422 in 1920x1080 60i and or 24p
How well will Final Cut Pro 6 work on the new MacBook with Apple Pro Res 422 in 1920x1080 60i and or 24p
How well will Shake 4.1 work on the new MacBook with Apple Pro Res 422 in 1920x1080 60i and or 24p
Each clip I usually take is only a few minutes long. Unless we have some Family thing than its about an hour but in that case I would be using Final Cut Pro 6 to maybe cut some things out but nothing big editing wise and DVD Studio Pro 4 or iDVD 08 to make a DVD for the Family.
I am not a payed professional.
I do not use firewire right now fore video intake or editing. I don't know how it applies at all. If i need the firewire for a scratch disk. Why not just make a partition on the internal drive and use it as the Scratch Disk.
Yes I know how to do a lot with these applications.
I only edit for fun and to learn more and more cool stuff.
I may one day start making Applications that is when I finally learn how to write code.
I may start off by making Dashboard Widgets.
I plan on getting the New Apple Display for some great at home editing on one nice big screen.
Apples site says on the MacBook pro.
Minimum graphics memory usage is 256MB. An additional 16MB is required when using an external display.
Does this also apply to the MacBook because on the MacBook site is does not say.
So will/should the New MacBook handle all of what I mentioned hear.

Note I am currently doing this on a MacBook with 2.4GHz processor with 160GB of hard disk space 2MB of ram 144 shared main memory Intel graphics card X1300 or something.
Motion works well but either quits or gets slow when analyzing a video in 1920x1080 24p.
Shake works great but analyzing slows down my MacBook until the process is done. With 1920x1080 24p
And Shake tends to cause my MacBook to get a little slow when rendering out file nodes.

How to register Final Cut Studio after upgrading system?

After upgrading my system and changing to a new G5 Final Cut Studio lost Registering Info.
Always after around 5 times booting Final Cut I have a dialog box, that I have to register.
But the "Register Now" button is not aktive!
What to do?
G5 2x2 GB 1,5 GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.7)
G5 2x2 GB 1,5 GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Make sure you have filled out all the fields
If I remember right, there is one field that is left blank (can not remember which one). Fill that one in, and the register button should become active.

Final Cut Studio Won't Remember Serial Number

Hi -- I am new to Final Cut Studio. I've just finished installing Final Cut Studio on my computer. I have registered the software via the internet and yet, every time I open one of the applications from the suite, it requests my serial number.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Many thanks,
Andrew

welcome,
sounds like it could be a old system id file. check these out-

Am I eligible for $299 Final Cut Studio Upgrade?

I own the following versions of Final Cut Pro. Some of them are very old.
Final Cut Pro 1.2 (Academic)
Final Cut Pro 3.0 (Academic)
Final Cut Pro 4 (Non-Academic, Upgrade version)
Will my ownership of any of these versions qualify me for the new $299 Final Cut Studio upgrade? And how does the upgrade work, does one just input their serial number from a previous version (I ask because none of my owned versions are currently installed)?
Thanks for the help. Much appreciated!

Not quite sure how your FCP4 upgrade works as the previous academic versions were not upgradable.
The Final Cut Studio 3 upgrade version requires a non academic, full retail (non-upgrade) FCP serial number as the basis for upgrading.
However, when in doubt about this, best to have a conversation with Apple directly as they are the ultimate authority on whether this will work or not.

Final Cut Studio 2 and New Macbooks with Nvidia graphics

Do the new Macbooks announced today (10/14/2008) meet the minimum system requirements for running Final Cut Studio 2?

Lecturing? Really? Not hardly, but I'll answer your query as succinctly as possible.
Will the new Macbook run Final Cut Studio 2? I will wager that FCP will operate, DVD SP will operate and Soundtrack Pro will operate. I highly doubt Color will operate and am not sure about Motion due to the graphics card.
That should answer your question. To "lecture" some more, where will you have media stored and how will you get media, any sort of media into these applications?
As far as graphics and video are concerned, that distinction has been met above. I'm sure the Macbook will operate Photoshop with no problem.
But again, why not check the minimum tech specs for yourself?

How can I install Final Cut Studio 2 on my new MacBook Pro with Lion?

I just purchased and received a new 15" MacBook Pro (non-retina) last week. I need to install Final Cut Studio 2 on this computer. I have researched this and found that I need to install Rosetta from the Snow Leopard DVD in order to do this. This is the first Mac I've bought ( although I've been working with them for years), so I don't have a Snow Leopard DVD. I am a high school teacher and we use FCS 2 for my classes so buying FCP X is not a viable option for me since I teach FCP 6. The iMacs we use in school run Leopard and were never upgraded to Snow Leopard (budget cuts and all), so I can't even borrow one from my district.
Does anyone know how I can obtain Rosetta? Or another way to install this without it?
Thank you ! :)

There is no way to add Rosetta support because it is not supported by OS X Lion at system level. This has been documented before the release of OS X Lion by itself.
If you really need Final Cut Studio 2, I would return your computer if possible, and purchase a Mac that is capable of running Snow Leopard (all 2010 models, early 2011 MBP and some other 2011 models)

Problems installing Final Cut Studio on my new Macbook Pro

I just got my new 17 inch Macbook Pro, and am trying to install Final Cut Studio 3. It installed just fine, and accepted the serial number. The problem is that every time I open the application, I have to reenter the serial number. Once I do that, it runs fine, but the next time, I have to reenter the info again. Anyone have an idea of how to fix this?
Rob Krampf

do some searching here. I remember other people having this problem. You might also try repairing permissions on your startup drive, deleting your fcp preferences

And creating a new account in system preferences: accounts.

Final cut studio 2 on a new macbook?

How do I install final cut studio 2 on a new macbook pro? The installer won't start, giving the message PowerPC is no longer supported...
I do want to be able to install my own copy of the program...

Can I install my new Final Cut Studio 2 on more than one of my computers.

Can I install my new Final Cut Studio 2 on more than one of my computers.
I have a Power Mac G5 and I am buying a iMac 2.8 Intel 24"
Can I install my Final Cut Studio 2 on both computers?
The G5 I leave at home and the iMac I travel with.

Hi The Bunnell Farm-
Greetings and welcome to the Apple boards.
Legally you must have only one copy installed at any one time on any one machine. By definition, you would need a second purchased copy in order to run it legally on the 2nd Mac.

Final Cut Studio HD problem with new Macbook Pro

I bought FCS HD and installed it onto my new Macbook Pro, but when I went to run Final Cut, it told me it was missing the graphics card. Now, the graphics card is different to my old laptop and G5, but surely the new macbook pro should be able to run my Final Cut Studio.
I was planning to buy the upgrade, not a whole new programme - now I am worried I will need to buy both an upgrade and Final Cut Studio 2.

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.

Opening Final Cut Studio 3 Projects on Mac Pro (Snow Leopard) & MacBook Pro (Lion)

Hi Everyone,
Right i've been trawling the forums in regards to Lion's compatibility with Final Cut Studio 3. There seemed to be a mixed bag of reports, some running FCP fine on Lion, others having issues.
For this reason alone I decided to keep my main editing system, my Mac Pro, running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and not upgrade to Lion.
More and more frequently i've thought I need to get myself a MacBook Pro, for data wrangling on location and for some cheeky edit sessions when i'm away on jobs.
The thing is, all new MacBook Pros ship with Lion as their OS.
My question is twofold really. Firstly, I've read that Final Cut Studio 3 installs and runs fine on Lion systems, can anyone confirm this?
Secondly, do any of you know if i'll be able to swap between, and freely work on projects across the two different systems, namely a Mac Pro running Snow Leopard and a MacBook Pro running Lion? is this an issue at all?
The last thing I want to do is spend three grand on a MacBook and then realise I have issues opening or working on projects from my MacPro (or vise-vesa)
As ever, your help would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks in advance,
Scott

I've read that Final Cut Studio 3 installs and runs fine on Lion systems, can anyone confirm this?
Yes, FCS 3 installs and runs without issue on my Lion system.
There are a couple of careats however with the primary one being DO A CLEAN INSTALL OF THE OS AND THE APPS. Upgrade installs over major version changes are problematic.
do any of you know if i'll be able to swap between, and freely work on projects across the two different systems, namely a Mac Pro running Snow Leopard and a MacBook Pro running Lion? is this an issue at all?
Again, not an issue in my world.

Is it possible to install Final Cut Studio 2 with a MacBook 2.1 GHz 13.3in?

I just purchased a new MacBook and Final Cut Studio, but my computer won't let me install FCP 6. I think it is a graphics card problem. Is there something I can purchase or download to make it compatible, or do I need to replace computer or use an older version of FCP?
Thanks
Tara

Hi Tara,
welcome to the forums,
I beleive your MacBook comes with an integrated graphics processor.
Unfortunately FCP requires a separate graphics card see minimum specs in the link below:
http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/specs.html
Perhaps you can replace your MB with a MBPro as the latter is perfect for FCP6.
Best,
G.

Can I use Final Cut Studio 2 software on a MacBook Air?

My old MacBook Pro was stolen a couple of years ago and I replaced it with a MacBook Air OSX 10.9.5. I still have the software from Final Cut Studio 2 which I used on my MacBook Pro. I haven't got around the replacing this and was looking at the Final Cut App when it dawned on me I might be able to use the software I have. Any thoughts? I know nothing about how computers work, so a simple 'No', 'Yes' or 'Do this to make it work', would be great!

I think the gist of what the two former responders are saying is that, if you can upgrade to software that will run natively in Yosemite, then you are seemingly much better off!
I am not a film editor (although I play one on my computer! hahahaha) but I have been told by many FCS2 users that they need ongoing access to it because of clients who ask for editorial updates to older projects. My understanding is that Final Cut Pro X will NOT open the FCS2 files for processing. Hence a valid reason to be able to install and operate FCS2 on today's modern Macs.
There are three methods to install and operate FCS2 in Mavericks; I have no confirmation yet that these work in Yosemite, or if once installed in Yosemite, FCS2 will operate properly. Here is a recent post I prepared to provide this information:
Apple has created a "bug" in the attempt to install FCP6 in Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks, which makes it look like Rosetta is needed for a PowerPC app, the installer, so as to make it difficult for the use of FCP6 in these versions of OS X! There are three ways to install it:
1. Pacifist https://www.charlessoft.com/
2. 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
3. HawaiianHippie has discovered the best and safest possible solution to this problem:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/26309669?ac_cid=tw123456#26309669
I have now successfully done this on four computers, brand new iMacs running 10.9.4. And I've discovered an even easier way to do this! You don't need to edit the plist file, just move it into the Trash. Install proceeds normally. You can return it after you're done if you like, I don't know what (if any) possible repercussions might come from leaving it deleted.
The file, as indicated on Jeremy Johnstone's blog, is
/System/Library/CoreServices/Installer.app/Contents/Resources/PPCRequirements.pl ist
(Note that when you get to Installer.app, you will have to Control+click and select "Show Package Contents")
I have not, as yet, attempted to recreate his success.

Final Cut Studio 2 (FCP 6) on MacBook 1.83 Core 2 Duo

One (probably very stupid) question:
Will the just announced Final Cut Studio 2 (and especially Final Cut Pro 6) run on my (pretty darn new) MacBook Core 2 Duo (1.83 Ghz White)?
And which of its applications just won't run on it? I will be upgrading my MacBook's RAM to 2 GB in the next few days.
Thanks!

On Apple's FCS2 site, it says:
"Minimum Requirements to Install All Final Cut Studio Applications
A Macintosh computer with a 1.25GHz or faster PowerPC G4, PowerPC G5, Intel Core Duo, or Intel Xeon processor
1GB of RAM
An AGP or PCI Express Quartz Extreme graphics card (Final Cut Studio is not compatible with integrated Intel graphics processors)
A display with 1024-by-768 resolution or higher
Mac OS X v10.4.9 or later
QuickTime 7.1.6 or later
A DVD drive for installation"
Well, the MacBook seems to have all of these... or does it? What's the graphics card on my MacBook? From looking at my specs, I fear that its graphics are powered by the "Intel GMA 950" (internal) processor.
So no FCP6 on here for sure, right?

Final cut studio 2 and macbook pro 17?

I'm anxious to purchase Final Cut Studio 2, and a new MacBook Pro 17" laptop. Is FCS2 and this laptop 100% compatible? Will I be able to install and run FCS2 on this laptop successfully?
Laptop specs:
MacBook Pro 17" Notebook 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 3 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, TI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics processor, dual -ink DVI support, 256MB of GDDR3 SDRAM, external 500G hard drive for video storage (firewire 800).
MacBook Pro 17" Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Well those that have tried running FCS 2 on a 17" laptop can't talk. It's not released yet...
However there is no reason why it shouldn't work well. Add an Io HD to the mix, and you'll edit HD on it all day long... we were showing this in the AJA booth at NAB a couple of weeks ago. Apple was running it too on laptops in their booth...
Figure it should be fine. With the advent of Pro Res, there's little you couldn't edit on a MBP... however there are some things you'll not be editing with it, such as 2 k files, or uncompressed HD. Pro res takes care of that though. It's really visually lossless.
