Question About Installing Individual Programs in Final Cut Studio 2

I recently installed Final Cut Studio 2, but I chose not to install Livetype on the initial setup. Now I would like to install it, but was curious why it seems to be installing all the information from the other programs I installed last week. Only Livetype was available on the "Custom Install" screen, it was blue and checked. Everything else was greyed out, but still checked. However, it seems to be repeating the same install process I did previously; and I am curious if this is going to create any redundancies on my computer. Any help?

Thank you for your quick response David!
1. Great! Glad that worked out.
2. When I say FCS 2 I mean the suite that came with Final Cut Pro 6, DVD Studio Pro 4, Motion 3, LiveType 2, Soundtrack Pro 2, Color, Compressor 3. I'm pretty sure it will play nicely with a new intel machine.
When I say FCS HD I mean the suite that came with Final Cut Pro (5.1.4), DVD Studio Pro, Motion 2, and Soundtrack Pro, and Compressor 2. This version (5.1) was made to work with intel machines.
3. Thank you also for providing the link! I definitely want to make sure this is legal.
Much appreciated

Questions about JVC GZ HD7 and Final Cut

i'm planning to buy a JVC GZ HD7, but i have some questions about it...
My imac configuration is
Imac 20" late 2006
1 Gb Ram
Leopard 10.5.2
Final Cut Studio 2
Ok
So my questions are:
1- When shooting the best setting for me is the 1440cbr, or 1920x1080
is better? i would like to have progressive instead of interlaced
moviefiles, but for what i have read the JVC HD7 only shoots interlaced...is possible to turn them into progressive after working in final cut?
2- In Final Cut Pro what are the sequence settings and the video
settings for a video shoot from this camera?
I would like to know the best settings possible for me,
regarding that i would like to edit in real time, no rendering needed,
and to have the best image quality that this camera can offer...

FCE is designed to work with DV/HDV files. It cannot work natively with MPEG2 files. You will need something like MPEG Streamclip to convert your files to a format that FCE understands
Streamclip is free but you need to buy Apple's MPEG Playback Component to make it work

Installing used copy of Final Cut Studio 2

Hello,
I've been reading around the net and haven't been able to find a very clear answer as to what happens when you buy and install a used copy of Final Cut Studio. I understand that the program can be sold as soon as it is completely uninstalled from the seller's machine, but it's what happens after that on the buyer's machine that I am dealing with.
It is important to note that I am dealing with full versions of the program, not upgrades (nor do I have to option to consider them in my situation).
These are my questions;
1. When the buyer (me) installs the seller's used copy of Final Cut Studio 2 will I be able to install the program on both a desktop & laptop like when the suite is new (this is vital because I am getting a new laptop and need studio on both machines)?
2. If (for some unknown reason) the seller's used copy of FCS2 doesn't install, can I install FCS HD without any problems?
3. If for some reason FCS2 isn't completely uninstalled from the seller's machine will it impede my installation process of FCS2?
Any info you can give me in regard to any of these questions would be greatly appreciated. It is a bit time sensitive (not that I have a deadline but I need to do this asap) so immediate responses would be amazing.
Thanks,
~ JoeA

Install two versions of final cut studio

Hi, can I Install two different versions of Final Cut Studio, and let them coexist without the previous one being erased? Let's say I have Final Cut Studio installed, and I want to Install Motion 3 that comes with Final Cut Studio 2, but keep the previous versions of the other programes. Is that possible, or the installing of Motion 3 will affect the Final Cut Pro and other applications that I had installed?

You could also do a dual boot system, though on a MacBook Pro, it may not work, due to limitations of single internal system drive.
Not sure what capacity your current system drive has...and you'd really want to think this through before committing.
You'd essentially do a full archive of your current system drive, then a full erase, create 2 partitions with one running FCS1 and the other running FCS2. You'd likely need to place 'extra content' on an external (like for Motion/STPro/DVDSP/LiveType), to keep resources to a minimum on your system drive.
Frankly, I'd be hesitant to go that route, but thought I'd toss it out there.
Ian's suggestion looked much better to me.

Help with Installing Soundtrack 3 alongside Final Cut Studio 2

Hi All,
I am looking for advice on how to install Soundtrack Pro 3 which is part of my Logic Studio Upgrade. I have a Macbook Pro with Final Cut Studio 2 and Logic Studio. I just bought the upgrade to Logic Studio (and not Final Cut) as I mainly do audio work and rarely video editing any more.
The installation instructions say that Soundtrack Pro 3 and Compressor 3.5 have new components which are not compatible with my older Final Cut Studio 2 and will not be installed.
Is there a way to install Soundtrack Pro 3 as a standalone application in another part of my computer, like under a different user or in some way where I can open it independently from the Final Cut Studio 2 program? Or is upgrading Final Cut Studio 2 to version 3 my only option?
Thanks in advance for any ideas,

It's easy... just boot from your OS CD, and choose erase and install from the optional installs button once booted. Run Software update a few times until there is no more to update... This will erase the hard drive and install a new OS on it.
Install whatever.
To boot from this drive, hold down the option key during a startup , and you can pick it from the dialog box that opens. To reboot just select the other drive in the startup disk pref in Apple System prefs.

How to Install Alpha Transitions into Final Cut Studio?

I downloaded the Alpha Transitions and now have a folder on the desktop named Alpha Transitions that has sub-folders. How do I install them in Final Cut Studio? I couldn't find any instructions.
Thanks for your help.

Since the transitions are just media, I keep them with the rest of my media used for editing; in a folder on my media drive.

Want to install MY copy of Final Cut Studio & change Name & Serials

I want to install my personal copy of FCP onto an iMac I just purchased, but every time I restart it still says old name and old registration number. Tried deleting Library/Application Support/ProApps/Final Cut System ID....but still won't let me change registration info???

I'm confused.
You did a clean install of Final Cut Pro on a new iMac, and some other name and serial number comes up?
That's not possible.

Can I install just FCP from Final Cut Studio?

I currently run an old version of FCP on a 4-year-old dual 533 G4, so it doesn't have enough power to run Motion or DVD Studio 3. I plan to buy a new G5 in about 6 months, but in the meantime I want to run FCP 5 on my old machine. Can I install just the FCP upgrade from the FC Studio disk?

Yup - and fyi fcp 5 & DVD Sp 4 run fine on my old girl (same as yours).
Motion won't install as you know.

Final Cut Studio Pro 2 Install - Skip Final Cut Pro itself - TT_NEWALREADYI

Dear All,
I hope you can help. I have just bought a new Macbook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4GB RAM, with OS X 10.4.10 running. It came with iLife 08.
I installed Logic Studio 8 (which was successful), and have been trying to install my copy of Final Cut Studio 2. When I run the installation, the options appear for custom install, but FInal Cut Pro, Compressor and QMaster are greyed out, and the action identified for them is "skip. If I rest the mouse over any of the options the text TT_NEWERALREADYINSTALLED appears.
I have tried uninstalling the Logic Studio components with AppZapper, and retrying the install of Final Cut Studio, but no matter what I try to do, it won't install Final Cut Pro.
Can anybody help?
Kind Regards,
Nick.

Serial Number issues when installing Final Cut Studio upgrade

I am trying to install iDVD from my Final Cut Studio V3.0 Upgrade on my new Mac Pro (Late 2013). I put the Serial Number that came with the upgrade in and then it requests the serial number from my original Final Cut Studio. It says the original serial number is invalid.
I am running Mavericks 10.9.4. There are no other computers on my network. I've done the usual things, repair permission and a restart with no joy.
What am I doing wrong.
Thanks,

Final Cut Studio 1.1?

Sup sup,
A little background: got the Software Update pop-up just now - I have it set to Daily - and, by accident, clicked on the link for the Apple SLAs.
I was about to close Safari when I noticed some new-to-me software versions (FCP 5.1, DVDSP 4.1, STP 1.1, Motion 2.1). Also, there's an SLA for Final Cut Studio 1.1. I clicked on that and noticed this:
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.(Of course, it goes on to contradict itself by saying that "This License does not allow the Apple Software to exist on more than one computer at a time" but anway...)
For reference, the Final Cut Studio license (not 1.1, that is), reads:
This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on a single computer at a time.
A search of Apple.com for "Final Cut Studio 1.1" only returns the SLA page.
So that brings me to my question: Is anyone here familiar with Final Cut Studio 1.1? Is it some other type of license, like a special Volume License? Or perhaps the Crossgrade license?
Please don't use this as a jump-off to speculate - I ain't trying to get any heat brought down on us - I'm simply curious if anyone knows anything about this license since the SLA is available online.

Brian, sorry if my post is misleading you. No disagreement here about what the latest versions available via Software Update are (FCP 5.0.4 is what I know to be correct as well).
My question is about the very fact that SLAs 'exist' for FCP 5.1, et al.
I'm getting those version numbers (along with Final Cut Studio 1.1) from Apple's SLA page.
I take it this is new(s) to you?

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!

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.

Final Cut Studio Crossgrade - Best method for upgrade?

Hi,
I've received my new Final Cut Studio crossgrade disks after surrendering my old ones to Apple and paying my £40 plus p&p (seems a bit antiquated doesn't it) and now I'm wondering how to go about installing.
I suppose ideally I would start again with a fresh OSX install and then install all the new Final Cut Studio apps on a 'clean' system. However, if I decide I am too lazy to do this (as fun as it sounds, my system is running fine otherwise so it would be a bit of a pain) is there a way of clearing off my old FCS apps cleanly, to allow me to install the new ones without any performance compromises / potential conflicts / unused files lying about on my system disk (or is this going to leave loads of hidden files that might cause crashes etc.?
I would appreciate advice from anyone who has tried their method and is certain it definitely works!
Cheers
Alan Smithee

You're right - a clean install would be better. BUT, few of us can afford the time or energy to rebuild all the apps folder, etc. Personally, I simply installed it directly on top of all existing apps, after making a system drive clone. Worked perfectly, I saw no problems after crossgrading.

Final Cut Studio Upgrade/Crossgrade Nightmare

Hopefully someone here can help me, because I'm facing a huge problem thanks to Apple's horrific upgrade/crossgrade nightmare with Final Cut Studio.
After some forum surfing here, I've discovered that upgrade/crossgrades were offered some months ago, but not anymore. I think this is outrageous on the part of Apple.
Here's my situation:
September 2006 (Australia): Bought a spiffy G5 / 23" Cinema HD machine with Final Cut Studio (5.0). Spent over $8,000. Used and loved and used and loved.
April 2007 (New Zealand): Bought a spiffy MacPro / 23" HD. Spent another $8,000. Can't used the software because the new machine is intel/Rosetta. Can't "crossgrade" because the offer's gone. Have to upgrade to FCS2. Cool. I will. But it's not here in NZ for a few more weeks, and I need FCP NOW!
What do I do?
How do I install and run my Final Cut Studio 5.0 on the new intel Mac? Where do I go to get the "crossgrade" (what a load of crap, by the way... to make customers who spent thousands on software have to pay to use it on the new machines) now that the links are all redirecting to FCS2??
Any advice (URGENTLY) would be most appreciated. I've been on hold with Apple for 20 minutes already. Cheers.
MacPro 2.66Ghz QX Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Really? The upgrade was no secret? Maybe for people who sit online and read everything there is to know about this stuff... but I've been busy using FCP 5.0 for a year and a half on a PPC machine. How am I supposed to know that when I buy a new MacPro everything is going to come crashing to a halt? I've had better upgrade experiences with Windoze machines (and those have been pretty horrific--the appropriate and suitable word here--too)!
And why exactly should I have to pay $700 USD for the privilege of using MY software on a newer machine? I have no problem paying the upgrade price for Final Cut Studio 2... it's a new product, better features, etc. But to pay it to use software I bought a year and a half ago on a new machine? The "crossgrade" should be FREE. Yes, I know that's a bad word in the Apple world, but if you're going to do a shift in technology, it's completely disrespectful to your customers to present them with a situation of being unable to use what they've paid dearly for. Honestly. It's one of the "benefits" Apple uses to SELL their computers -- whatever happened to It just works, and You can use all your old stuff?
Mate, you don't have to sympathize with my position. But after spending $18,000, I think a reasonable solution to this problem is fair and warranted.
If anyone else has any suggestions, I would very much appreciate them.
