Question re: Xfer Final Cut Pro from iMac (OS 9.1) to an eMac (OS X 10.4)

Hi,
I own Final Cut Pro (ver 1.0 and ver 2.0 update) for a DV iMac (OS 9.1) but never used it.
I now have an eMac running Tiger (OS X ver 10.4) and I'd like to install Final Cut Pro.
When I tried to install the software on the eMac, the installer looked for an OS 9.1 folder on the eMac.
Can I run this older version of Final Cut Pro on my eMac?
Thanks for your help.

All is not lost, you can upgrade ...
In the immortal words of King Arthur in the IBM ads - "you expect me to THROW MONEY at the problem!?"
In a word, yes. Not any other options if you want to run FCP on your more modern machine.
good luck.

  • Cannot download Final Cut Pro from the app store

    Hello,
    I cannot download Final Cut Pro from the app store.
    I says "Failed to download" and error has occurred
    What is wrong?
    is it my Macbook?

    I had a problem way back in the olden days, i.e., FCPX 10.0.2, and finally gave up and called the Apple Store using a land-line phone.
    Anyway, (this was a couple years ago), if I remember right, they passed me off to someone in the FCPX group and I got the App. However, this was not a really goo way to go because for many updates afterward, everytime I wanted to update I had to go thorugh the same ritual.
    Finally, probably around 10.0.8, things got "fixed" and since then I've been able to go direct and download it from the App Store without having to make a phone call.
    My suggestion would be to try calling the App Store. Maybe, if there is a "global problem" and they get a lot of calls, they will fix it.
    Heck, maybe write a Knowlede Base (KB) article about it.
    Disclaimer: I didn't check to see if there was one.

    If it's in the purchased page and doesn't download, you should contact Apple.

    No. You simply sign in to the App Store and download it again. AppStore knows that you already paid for it.

  • Trouble restoring final cut pro from time machine

    I cant install registered version of final cut pro from time machine after system restore.  It asks for serial number, but I dont have it. How do I find it?

    I don't use time machine, but my understanding is that needing to re-authorize the software with the serial numbers when you do a restore from time machine is the way time machine works.

    Another update to my burning problem...in my movies folder there is an img file (states it is a classic disk image-2.82GB) after I have tried burning a DVD unsuccessfully and when I open the img file I see 1) AUDIO_TS AND 2) VIDEO_TS files. I 'control' clicked the file and tried burning this folder onto a disc. Result it seemed to burn both files onto DVD but still couldn't view video.

  • Panasonic and Final Cut pro on iMac

    Hello
    I have a Panasonic HDC-HS80 Video Camera.
    I work with Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 on an iMac with OS 10.6.7
    Do I have to set a special recording Mode on my camera?
    How Do I get my videos from the camera to Final Cut Pro, so that I can cut and edit them?
    Please help! Thanks

    Your camera shoots AVCHD which is not an editing codec, so you'll need to convert your footage in ingest (ProRes LT or 422). Have a look at Shane Ross' tutorial on tapeless workflows:
    http://library.creativecow.net/ross_shane/tapeless-workflow_fcp-7/1
    You will also need a fast external hard disk with FW800 connection (that will be your scratch disk).
    I can't tell you what recording mode you should set but don't mix them if possible.

  • Final cut pro with imac g5 (older version)

    I purchased an imac g5 about a year ago. I've upgraded the RAM to 768 and thats about it. I want to install final cut pro. I know I need to upgrade the RAM to at least 1 gig and get more hard drive space. Is there anything else i should do? Any precautions?
    Thanks!!!!

    I had all sorts of problems bus sharing my DV (or HDV) camera with an external FW Drive, although I never tried plugging the camera into the drive itself - but you do have two options:
    1) Capture using the internal drive.
    2) Use a USB2 interface for the external drive.
    I found both workable, some people have had trouble with USB2 drives, but I find the interface is faster than the base drive speed for single stream work - your mileage may vary. I am using the Lacie triple interface drive.
    Use the system profiler to work out which USB port is not shared with any other, because if you have your mouse / keyboard or Bluetooth adaptor on the same internal hub as the drive, they will all be reduced to USB1.1 - and you definitely can't capture to that. I found one port on the powerbook was on its own bus, one was shared with the BT adaptor - go Apple -> About this Mac -> More Info to run the profiler, or run it from Applications -> Utilities.

  • TS3850 Importing to Final Cut Pro from Canon XM2

    My new iMac hasn't got a firewire port... Only Thunderbolt?? How do import from a Canon XM2 Camcorder? Apple Final Cut Pro says that this camera is compatible but which cables do i need???

    You'll need a Thunderbolt to Firewire adaptor.

  • Trying to download video into  Final cut pro from my canon XHA1 HD camera

    I have a brand new I-mac 24 inch 4gs of memory and a terabite of hard drive, with Final Cut Pro 6.0.1 Studio 2. I have a brand new Canon XHA1 HD camera. when I plug in my 4pin firewire the computer it won't except the camera or the firewire, but I-movie will? the warning sign says it can't find the firewire? does any body know what settings I need to set, so my computer will except and download my video footage in final cut pro?

    I've got the Canon XH-A1, but I'm still using FCP 5.1.4, for the moment. I've had no problem capturing from the camera. Are you using Log and Capture? The simplest way to try capturing, once you're in Log and Capture is to hit play in the controller section (or space bar), and then use the capture now button, once the video has started playing. There is an entire chapter in the book on how to use the log and capture facility, so I'm not going to get too detailed here. If you can't get it to work, please be specific about how far you get. Can you play the video on the camera?, Does it show the transport controls?, etc.

  • Editing 3D in Final Cut Pro from Doremi

    Hello.  I am trying to take 3D content from a medical arthroscopic camera and edit it together with 2D footage from an external camera.  The glasses and monitor sold by the medical company make viewing 2D and 3D fine, so it is OK for the video to alteranate between 2D and 3D.
    The Doremi V1HD contains the 3D footage.  When I import it to my computer, I find that the format is 3D 1080 60i and the codec is 3D 4.2.2. JPEG2000 100Mbit/s 8 bit.  Any ideas on if there a way to import this into Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 for editing with my 1080i 2D footage from another camera?  Is there a plugin that will allow me to do this?  And then, I'll need to upload the final video back to the Doremi in the same format.

    I'm sure apple has something up their sleeve, but for now, stereo in FCP is still a bit of a hack.
    Check out my earlier thread about this:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2192392&tstart=0
    There are a couple of helpful links for hardware and stuff toward the end.
    We ultimately abandoned this route and are using IRIDAS Framecycler and Baselight to view our stereo material, but I'd love to hear about your FCP solutions if you decide to pursue it.

  • Errors Using AJA IO LA & Final Cut Pro with iMac

    Has anyone experienced difficulties getting analog video through an AJA IO LA into an iMac? Control panel on AJA reads no video in or out & when Final Cut is launched I keep getting the following error message: "Unable to open specified video output device, may be in use by other applications, incorrectly connected or may be conflicting with a sound input device." If I continue into Final Cut, I am unable to capture and also have received the following error message: "An Error occurred while configuring QuickTime using the current capture preset. Please quit Final Cut Pro and check your hardware configuration"

    I have no experience with the product you are using, but after looking at their website and the system requirements, it occurred to me that they only mention Power PCs and OS X Panther or later. So the problem might be that their hardware/software is not compatible with Snow Leopard, which included major changes. Have you tried contacting them to ask if your particular model is compatible with an Intel Mac and 10.6?

  • How do I Upgrade Final Cut Pro from 10.0.6?

    Do I upgrade Final Cut Pro 10.0.6 from iTunes or though the App Store?  Or both?  It will not work now that Yosemite 10.10.1 is installed.
    Thanks.
    -Mike.

    BTW:
    There are MAJOR changes using the newer version.
    Do some research before proceeding.
    See here for an overview:

    The tutorial speaks about Mavericks but Yosemite has the same rules.
