Order status of final cut studio universal version?

My friend placed order final cut studio last monday (March,27)in stead of me.
My question is that is it comming universal version or not becasue he does not know about anything final cut.
also I cannot contact him right now.
So, if it comes final cut 5.0, i have to return and reorder. because I placed order macbook pro.
would tell your order experience and when apple released the last version of final cut studio?
POWER MAC 2.3 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Well, you probably should have waited. I believe the Universal Version was realeased for shipping on the 29th.(I ordered the upgrade myself). It is my understanding that If you ordered it before the release date you will get the old version(runs on PowerPC macs only). I your friend gets the wrong one, I would suggest not opening it and return it for an exchange.

Final Cut Studio Academic Version

I purchased Final Cut Studio Academic Version in 10/08 and used it just once. It is in "like new" condition complete with manuals
and original packaging. I want to resell it but want to make sure it will be available to another user. Also, where do you think I should
price it, as I realize it is not "upgradeable". Thanks!

Is this Final Cut STudio 2, or Studio 3? Studio 2 is like 5 years old...has FCP 6. SOMEONE might find it useful. But Studio 3 is the most current, and a lot of people would find that useful.

What is the Final Cut Studio Universal Crossgrade?

I got an e-mail with an offer to purchase a "Universal Crossgrade" to Final Cut Studio for $49, but I'm not clear about what this is.
I already own FC Studio. Does "Universal" mean that all of the components are now in a single app so there's no more "round tripping" between apps?
Does "Universal" refer to the fact that this is compatible with both Power Mac and Intel based machines?
I'm confused about about what's new in this latest version.

Mike,
The order form (http://images.apple.com/universal/crossgrade/pdf/Crossgrade.pdf) makes it look like you have to send in all 4 DVDs (Final Cut Studio, Motion 2, DVD Studio Pro and Soundtrack Pro).
This is the part that makes me a little squeamish. I haven't had any problems that require a re-install lately, but IF I DO before my new disks get here, I'm stuck. Also, what happens if I get the new version and there's a bug or something else about it that I don't like? Once again, I'm stuck.
Maybe I'm just being paranoid.

Final Cut Studio Universal Ship date?

Does anyone have any idea as to when Apple will actually ship? Everytime I check my order status, it just states that FCSU is back ordered. We're getting to the end of March. Well, given Apple's track record for tardiness, I guess this is standard operating procedure. I'll continue to be patient, just wondering if anyone's heard anything?? Thanks.

If they're calling it by the next point release, as you indicate, it's Final Cut Studio 1.1 (which includes Final Cut Pro 5.1). The Software License Agreement for FCS 1.1 states, in part:

This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on one Apple-labeled desktop computer and one Apple-labeled laptop computer so long as both computers are owned and used by you. The Apple Software may be used to reproduce materials so long as such use is limited to reproduction of non-copyrighted materials, materials in which you own the copyright, or materials you are authorized or legally permitted to reproduce. This License does not allow the Apple Software to exist on more than one computer at a time, and you may not make the Apple Software available over a network where it could be used by multiple computers at the same time.

Interesting, heh?

Final Cut Pro (Universal) version

I see where Apple has posted today where you can upgrade from the standalone version of Final Cut Pro 5 to the universal version of Final Cut Studio for only $99. I have to fill out a form and send in my FCP5 DVD.
However, I have some questions...
I really don't want to mail my master DVD, if it's lost in the mail then I'm stuck without anything! Can this upgrade be performed in person at the Apple Store?
I'm also concerned about the "universal" version. Will it work exactly the same as Final Cut Pro 5?
Can I just load Final Cut Studio and not the rest as I really don't have room for everything and don't want everything and everything I do not think is compatible with my system?
I assume this upgrade will replace my FCP5 that I have now and load Final Cut Studio and I would hope allow me to not load any of the other applications?
I have a Powerbook G4 1.5mhz with 1 gig ram and 60 gig hard drive (10 gig free) running OS X 10.4.4 . I see where 10.4.4 is required.
Anyone have any more information on the universal version?

Final Cut Studio Educational version serial number

I've been using an educational version of Final Cut Studio for years, and now it is asking me for my name and serial number before I open the program. I've looked at the box that the discs come in, and have found some numbers, but they don't seem to be the serial numbers and they don't work. Is there somewhere else that these serial numbers may be? Also, is there a reason why I am forced to put in my information to log in now?
thanks!

There are two stickers with the serial # attached to the "Installing your software" pamphlet that came with the suite. This is the only place that you will find it.
If you have lost the documentaion, follow these instructions:

>Also, is there a reason why I am forced to put in my information to log in now?
Have you recently had the computer repaired? The encrypted serial is tied to the Logic board ID. You will need to delete that file if so.

Final Cut Studio Academic Version - confused buyer.

Hello,
I am about to buy Final Cut Studio 2 using the Academic Discount Program. I know that by purchasing the academic version I will not be able to upgrade. When I access the page (viewing it as a student) where I can see the different types of "Pro Design" softwares that I can buy, I see two "Final Cut Studio 2". One is Final Cut Studio 2 and the other one is Final Cut Studio 2 Academic. Both cost the same $699. When I select Final Cut Studio 2 it does not say that this is an upgrade version.
I'm afraid of selecting the one that does NOT have the word Academic because it might be an upgrade version even though it doesn't say.
Help!
Thank you...
A humble confused customer....

Hi DH,
Thanks for your response. I would easily get the one that says academic, but if I have the option of buying the non-academic version for the same price as the academic I rather buy the non-academic one. I am confused because the website does not say that the non-academic one is an upgrade version, but when I called 1-800-MY-APPLE, the guy told me that is an upgrade version. I told him the website does not say it is and that is why I got confused.
Thanks again...

Does any version of Final Cut studio support Mpeg4 Editing?

I have Final Cut Studio HD (version in the black box). I'm looking at buying a camera, and the one that seems to be the best fit is the Panasonic TM90. It's best mode is shooting progressive video with the Mpeg4 codec. Does my version support this? Does any version support this?

If you shoot any format OTHER than 1080p60, you use Log and Transfer to bring in the footage. Tutorial:
http://library.creativecow.net/ross_shane/tapeless-workflow_fcp-7/1
For 1080p60, you need ClipWrap2 from divergentmedia.com. Because it is a non-standard shooting format.
And no, FCP 7 and earlier do not support editing from that camera without transcoding to ProRes.

Final Cut Studio 5 on Intel

I have Final Cut Studio 5 and I need to put it on an Intel based Mac. I seem to remember that you need to send in the disks and pay a fee to upgrade to the Intel version (FCS5.1 I believe?), but I can't find anything online about doing that. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
Nick

Here is what I found on the web for you:
Final Cut Studio Universal apps won't be sold separately
By Prince McLean
Published: 02:40 PM EST
Apple will no longer offer its Final Cut Pro, Soundtrack Pro, Motion, and DVD Studio Pro audio and video applications as standalone products, and come March will choose instead to sell them exclusively as part of the $1299 Final Cut Studio production suite.
The company began informing its resellers of the change this week and also said it has stopped accepting new orders for the current versions of Final Cut Pro, Soundtrack Pro, Motion, and DVD Studio Pro. "The individual applications in Final Cut Studio will only be available as part of the suite," the company wrote in a memo.
In February, Apple will begin taking orders for a universal version of Final Cut Studio called "Final Cut Studio Universal," which will ship in March for $1299. The company also appears that it will continue to market a PowerPC-only version of the suite under the name "Final Cut Studio 1.1."
The move to an all-or-nothing bundle will mean that new customers will have to fork over a pretty penny for the complete audio and video production suite. However, owners of the current versions of either DVD Studio Pro, Motion, and Soundtrack Pro will be eligible to upgrade to the entire $1299 Final Cut Studio for just $199. Final Cut Pro 5.0 owners will be able to take Apple up on the same "fulfillment" upgrade offer for just $99.
Customers who already own a copy of the the current Final Cut Studio can update to the universal version of the suite through a $49 "Final Cut Studio 1.1 Crossgrade Fulfillment" upgrade. Information on how to obtain this and the aforementioned upgrades should begin appearing on Apple's Web site in early February.
Contacts close to Apple have suggested that fulfillment upgrades may only be available through snail mail, requiring the customer to supply all install discs from the software which they are upgrading.
Apple will also offer $49 crossgrade upgrades for its other Pro applications, Aperture and Logic Pro 7.1. For users of Logic Express 7.1, the upgrade will cost only $29.
There is so far no word on plans for Shake, Apple's $2999 advanced digital compositing software.

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.

Aperature, Final Cut Studio as 'universal'.....??

On the 90 minute long MacWorld presentation I watched, it said that the new Intel Core Duo G5's will have programs such as Aperature and Final Cut Studio as 'universal'. What exactly does this mean? Do they mean that these programs will come free when you order your new mac? And how come they aren't doing that right now?
1.8 GHz PowerPC G5 17" Mac OS X (10.3.9) 512 MB DDR SDRAM

Hi,
Don't know which presentation you have watched, but I believe you are mixing up a few things :
1. Intel Core Duo Mac G5 does not exist (it is either Core Duo (Intel) or it is PowerPC (G5 or G4, or even G3)
2. Regarding Aperture and Final Cut Studio : I suppose they only meant that Universal versions of those programs will be available (meaning able to run natively on both Intel and PowerMac). Both applications are Pro applications which untill now have not been included with new Macs (they may have trial versions available).
Current Macs come with 'consumer' packages like iLife and with trial versions of iWork and Microsoft Office.

eBay heavily "overprotects" copyright owners.
The BSA is hired by Apple to look out for copyright violations. They simply go after everything without any investigation. eBay plays along and so you are the one with the problem to do something completely lega.

Final Cut Studio 2 (Academic Version)

I am a teacher and we have ordered and received 4 Final Cut Studio 2 packages. It came to us as the academic version. I know you cannot get upgrade to future Final Cut Studio packages, but is that the only difference?
Does it have all of the other features that regular Final Cut Studio has?
Thanks in Advance

Does it have all of the other features that regular Final Cut Studio has?

In Thailand and thinking about ordering Final Cut Studio 5.1 NEED ADVICE

I own a 2006 Power Book G4 notebook. The computer has a 1.5 GHz processor, 1.25 GBDDR SDRAM memory, and 80GB HD. I have enjoyed using iMovie but am ready to give my podcasts a more profesional look. Can my computer operate Final Cut Studio 5.1? If it can not is there an older version that would work?
Thanks you,
earthworm envy
Power Book G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8) processor 1.5 GHz memory 1.25 hardrive 80GB

your powerbook may not be the latest and greatest but it is certainly good enough. version 5.1 is "universal" meaning it will work on both PPC macs (like yours) and the newer intel based macs. go for it.

Can I upgrade to Final Cut Studio 7 if my last version is also an upgrade??

I upgraded to Final Cut Pro 4.5 with a version that was for upgrading to FCP 4 from either version 1, 2 or 3.
I no longer have the previous version, just the FCP 4 box/discs and the "upgrade" authorization code on the sticker it came on.
I see that there's an upgrade to Final Cut Studio 7 for around $300 from any previous non-academic version...but what about if the last version is an upgrade too?? It IS the FULL FCP 4.5.
Am I eligible for this discounted upgrade to FC Studio 7? Has anyone done exactly this?
Thank you for any solid info/experience on this you may have!

This problem brings up another associated question.
Is it possible to extract from the app/computer the original Retail Serial Number?
With my Final Cut Express 4.0.1 I simply go to HD>Library>Application Support>ProApps and open the FCE System ID in TextEdit in order to have my original FCE 1.0.1 revealed. (The upgrade number of course is displayed on the splash screen and also "About FCE").
However, opening the FCS System ID or the ProAppsSystemID does not reveal any serial number . . . . though my FCS3 is a Full Retail Version. Maybe if it was an upgrade, it might?
Being able to access and save the original reg would be useful for anyone who has lost it since upgrading.
It must be stored somewhere, unless when it was originally installed the computer just registered that it had a suitable number and did not save the specific one.
