Regarding updates of Final cut studio

Hello Friends!
I am using final cut studio 5.1.1 but i want to update it to 5.1.4 When i do search of 5.1.4 on apple site,it is directly opening the page for Final cut studio2 & ask me for its serial number.
So can i get direct link of 5.1.4 update. Also tell me which other softwares to be updated if i use 5.1.4. For eg: livetype,soundtrackpro etc.
I am using Blackmagic Multibridge extreme card as video card.So of what version it should be used?

Hello Ken!
Presently i am working with Final cut studio 5.1.1 Now i want to update my OS to 10.4.10 (presently it is 10.4.5) & FCP to 5.1.4
Also my other problem is when i go for search of 5.1.4 update-it directly opens a page of 5.2 & ask for serial number,so is there any other link from where i can get this update.
*http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/finalcutpro514.html*-- This is the link in which i am facing the problem it is not accepting FCP software(5.1 when purchased) serial number.

*** Help finding update for FInal Cut Studio

I'm running FCP 5.0.4 but need to be on the version my new editor is using (5.1.3). I've tried to go to the Apple site, and I've downloaded the 5.1.3 update, but it won't let me update unless I do some updates in between which I can't find.
Can anyone send me the links I need to get from 5.0.4 to 5.1.3?

It's really important to keep your discs. Ignoring this crossgrade issue, what would you have done had your system drive crashed and you'd simply had to reinstall the software? Always keep your original software discs somewhere safe.
As to the 'unusual and unreasonable' issue, you're not the first or last to complain about this - none of us were very happy about it. But remember that Final Cut Studio when installed is about a 35GB suite of applications and media. There's simply no way that would have been doable by Apple as a download. Imagine the number of people who's connections would have dropped during the download, or who simply don't have the bandwidth to download something that large?
Some things are best done the old way! Anyway - try the XML sequence exchange I mentioned above, that'll save you the money, hassle AND the time.

Final Cut Pro 4 update to Final Cut Studio 2

I have FCP 4 installed on a PowerBook. (I know but it was light editing and I was just starting). I just bought an iMac, 2.8G, 24inch w/Intel Duo processor. I don't want to install FCP 4 on this machine but instead would like to purchase the upgrade to Final Cut Studio 2 and install in on the iMac.
My question is, will this work? Does the upgrade look for previous versions to actually reside on the machine or will it just want the original CD (or DVD)? I love the iMac and am switching to it for everything!!!
Thanks,
Greg

The upgrade will simply ask for the previous serial number. No need for it to be installed.

Updates for Final Cut Studio, Quicktime, and OS X on new iMac? Which ones?

Hello All,
Okay, so I have been searching through the forums about updates for all the software updates, and which ones work and which ones don't. The Tiger vs. Leopard battle. The ones that have had no problems doing all the updates and the ones who are suffering terribly. But it is really hard to pinpoint everything since it is all spread out over so many different pages. So I am hoping that this question will be of benefit to others in my situation.
So I have a new iMac Alu 24" 2.4 ghz, and 4 gig of RAM. I did software update for everything except the OS and not for Quicktime. So I am running OS X 10.4.10 and Quicktime 7.2
I installed FCP Studio 2 without a hangup. I did not even bother to install Color because I knew that it would be more then this GPU could handle. I didn't bother with Live Type either. Don't use it at work and don't think it will be any different at home. So I intalled FCP 6, Compressor 3, Motion 3, Soundtrack 2, and DVD Studio 4. I have done no updates to any of the Studio programs. So I am looking for some opinions (more then one would be appreciated). What updates should I do and which ones should I avoid for my particular setup? I want to do this as right as I can the first time around.
Again sorry, if this seems redundant, but I want to get everything together in one place to make sure that I don't miss something from split up forums. And hopefully this will help others. Sorry about the length.
My Current Situation:
Alu iMac 24" 2.4ghz, 4 gig of RAM
OS X 10.4.10
Quicktime 7.2
Final Cut Pro 6.0
Motion 3.0
Compressor 3.0
DVD Studio Pro 4.0
Soundtrack Pro 2.0
Which updates? If the almighty Shane Ross would like to step in, please feel free to. Thanks folks for any and all help.

UPDATE: Okay, so I gave my Final Cut a really simple run through last night. Just shot some footage on the HV20 and imported it and did the Apple recommend workflow for the reverse telecine. (I know, I know, doing the full out reverse telecine to get it to 24p is unnecessary if I am just going back to video, but I just wanted to give it whirl) Anyways it worked, and it came out great. So I dropped into a 24p timeline and through it together, and no software malfunctions. No complaints. During log and capture, there was a lag between my player and the computer, but the footage after capture was right on targert (I am referring to audio sync).
So as long as it works, I am happy. Besides, I don't plan on using on board audio too much since there are no XLR inputs unless I get a Beachtek. Different story, sorry.
So currently, with absolutely no Studio updates, OS X 10.4.10, and QT 7.2, on a brand new iMac, 2.4ghz, 24", everything is as it should be. I'll keep checking back in to see if anyone recommends an update for me or if I encounter problems and what caused them.

Updating Final Cut Studio

I updated to Final Cut Studio 5.1 and registered it. When Updates became available I went to the update page signed in and put in the serial number as usual and I got the message: (YOU APPEAR TO HAVE ALREADY DOWNLOADED THE FINAL CUT STUDIO UPDATE).
Each time an update comes out for FCP Studio 5.1 now I am unable to get into the page to update my software. The page acknowledges I have registered the software but all I get is the message and can't move any furthur. I just wiped out my entire hard drive and did a new installation of all my software and I still have the problem. My system is stock with no 3rd party added hardware and no Virus software.
Who do I contact to get it fixed?
Any help will be appreciated

I started having problems as soon as the first update came out for FCP 5.1. I was unable to get into the download page. I got the same message then as I get now. (YOU APPEAR TO HAVE ALREADY DOWNLOADED THE FINAL CUT STUDIO UPDATE). I downloaded the updates and did not have software update install the updated. I saved them to the hard drive. When I tried to apply the updates several would not install ( FCP 5.1.2, Motion 2.1.2 and both Pro App updates). I Finall got the software updated by using Software Update to "Install" each update. Downloading to disk and then updating did not work.
I hope I answered your question?

Final Cut Studio 2: needing to update older version before install

I am trying to install FCS 2 upgrade from FCS, but it tells me I have an older version and that it "needs to be updated" before I can continue. The manual says that "To avoid compatibility issues, the Final Cut Studio installer requires you to update all Final Cut Studio applications to the version included with Final Cut Studio 2." I am not sure what this means, since I am just now installing FCS 2. I've read the messages here about upgrading from FCP 5.0.4, my FCP version, to 5.1 via a crossgrade on disks from Apple. Does this mean that I need to buy this crossgrade before I can finish the upgrade to FCS 2? This requirement is not listed on the FCS 2 box, but I can't seem to find anything else that would "update" my older version. And is this true for each of the other applications in the suite?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

No, you don't need to buy the crossgrade. I just updated the PPC version of FCS to FCS2 yesterday. (I had transferred these applications over to my new Intel Mac from a G5 even though I knew they wouldn't run on the Intel Mac until I could update with the Universal version). What I did end up having to do was to manually delete everything from the PPC installation (applications, preferences, application support files, etc.). Then install from the FCP2 disks, having your old FCP registration number ready to enter in the dialogue box that comes up when you try to upgrade. While the installer says you are upgrading, in fact it installs the new universal versions of the applications.

Final Cut Studio update and FCPX

So I've not noticed until now, but I now have a need for it. I need to update my Final Cut Studio 3 to the latest Pro App update. I have an editing gig that is requiring me to use FCP7 but I recently installed it to my new Macbook Pro and it's really unstable. I've had it crash on me way too many times.
However, I have FCPX on my laptop as well. When I tried updating the Studio using the Pro Apps, update, it said it installed, but when I check the versions, it made no changes! So I'm wondering how I can actually update my Final Cut Studio 3 suite while I still have the FCPx and new Motion and Compressor installed on the same computer....
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
-Justin

ML should have no effect as I have both versions installed with no problems.
Which app are you trying to update?
You should use Software Update for FCS 3
What version have you got?

Mac Pro and Final Cut Studio 5.1.2

I've had problems trying to export mpeg files from final cut pro using compressor after having updated all applications to their current versions (FCP 5.1.2, Compressor 2.3, Qmaster 2.3, QT 7.1.3...) including firmware, OS and security updates. Since I was kind of in the middle of a project I ended up reverting back to the original universal crossgrade of Final Cut Studio (FCP 5.1, Compressor 2.1, Qmaster 2.1...) in order to get the desired results of a muxed mpeg. Now, before I go back to trying to resolve this issue of updating the software, I would like to know if anyone is running Final Cut Studio on a Mac Pro with all updates current (5.1.2, 2.3...) and with the ability to export muxed mpeg streams - both audio and video in the same file. Also, I have posted more specific questions regarding these issues in the compressor and FCP forums but decided I needed to hear from some Mac Pro users who have had success with the Final Cut Studio updates. BTW, I have done all the updates of Final Cut Studio (5.1.2, 2.3...) on a G5 quad at work and have had no problems whatsoever. I'd just like to have everything up to date and functional. Other than trying to get this worked out, I have found my Mac Pro to be most excellent. Thanks in advance.

Dave, thanks for your input. It would crash out during the compressor export and the failure reason would say 3x Crash Server Down in the compressor box. I haven't tried an mpeg-1 because all we broadcast are mpeg-2 program streams. Most of the stuff I export is no longer than 10 - 12 minute segments. If you could, try exporting as an mpeg-2 muxed. Some other possible factors - I had captured the original footage on a G5 quad at work, put them on an external drive and then loaded them onto the Mac Pro and imported them into the project. Could there be a difference between DV codecs of the PPC and the Intel processors? Now that I'm at a stopping point I'm planning on trying to do the update again. Just hoping to catch something I might have missed. If I were a total computer illiterate I would say user error, but I'm not.

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.

Final Cut Studio 3 Install

Hello,
I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro 15". I own the discs to the update to Final Cut Studio 3.0. But my MacBook doesn't have a CD drive. Is there a place on Apple's site to download Final Cut Studio so that I can get this on my new MacBook?
Thanks,
Mark

No, it is not available as a download.
You either need to get an external optical drive - Apple has one here (there are cheaper third party drives available):
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD564ZM/A/apple-usb-superdrive?fnode=5f
or take the discs to a computer that does have an optical drive and make disk images of the DVDs and place those disk images (.dmg) on an external hard disk that you can move to your new computer, and mount the dmgs and run the installer.

Uninstall Final Cut Studio

Ok this may have been addressed but I could not seem to find any info. I am looking to update to Final Cut Studio 2. I want to buy the full version. However I have Final Cut Studio installed how can I unstall it and then install the new version without any issues. Thanks in advance

Welcome to the discussions!
Apple agrees with you: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305389
The procedure is to trash the applications, and their respective folders in Library>Application Support.

Can't update final cut studio 5.0.1 to 5.0.4

I am trying to upgrade my original version of final cut studio to 5.0.4. I have scoured the web for info and have tried everything to force the update. I've downloaded the 5.0.4 update file from apple. The installer window prompt tells me: THIS INSTALLER PACKAGE NEEDS TO RUN A PROGRAM TO DETERMINE IF IT CAN BE INSTALLED. DO YOU WANT TO CONTINUE. When I continue I get: FinalCutPro5.0.4Update cannot be installed on this computer. This updater is only able to update an existing Final Cut Pro 5.0, 5.0.1, 5.0.2, or 5.0.3 application. Please make sure the application is located in the Applications folder, and is called "Final Cut Pro". My hardrive apps folder has a file called 'Final Cut Pro HD' (it's 5.0.1). Then someone told me to move the original pkge file from the library to desktop to prompt the updater. Nothing seems to allow me to upgrade? I'm running OSX 10.3.9 and was running Quicktime 7.1.6 Now because Apple tech support told me to run the updater on everything so that Final Cut might be recognized I upgraded to 7.4.5 I hope I'm not going to regret the QuickTime upgrade? I need 5.0.4 because 5.0.1 is not recognizing my P2 files.

Thanks to you both, I found the misplaced booklets with the new serial number and am in the process of installing right now.
I've gotten so many new toys in the past couple months it's been difficult to keep everything straight...but what a great problem to have!

Updating Final Cut Studio 2.01 and workflow between FCP and AE

Hi. I am currently working in FCE 3.5 and am considering purchasing Final Cut Studio 2.01 (new and sealed) as opposed to the latest version since I am running a PowerPC G5. Am I assured of being able to download all the updates for Final Cut Pro 6 and exactly which version would be the latest and final one? Was there ever an FCP v6.5? I do mainly animation/motion graphics and work in After Effects (along w/ Flash, Carrara, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.). I understand that the workflow between FCP (as opposed to FCE) and AE is greatly enhanced. Can someone give me an idea of what advantages this new workflow will offer in terms of what I'll be able to accomplish that I can't do now w/ FCE? Also, any other comments on how FCP (as compared to FCE) will benefit me as an animator will be greatly appreciated. Lastly, am I correct in assuming that I will be able to open my FCE 3.5 project files in FCP 6 but not visa versa? Thanks. Jack.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I see that I will need some 3rd-party support in order to realize the benefit of a Final Cut Pro/After Effects workflow. Have another question. What are the kinds of filters that you can keyframe in FCP but not in FCE? And are there many filters in FCP that are not included w/ FCE? As I deal mainly w/ animation as opposed to footage of live video I am trying to justify the investment in Final Cut Studio 2 in terms of it being a benefit to me as an animator. I currently use FCE 3.5 (which includes versions of SoundTrack and LiveType) and After Effects CS3 plus other graphics programs. I would love to be able to work within DVD Studio Pro as iDVD is so limiting as an authoring program but am not sure how much I will benefit from switching from FCE to FCP. This is what I am trying to nail down.
