Remote operation of Final Cut Studio?

Okay, deep breath...
I have been charged with finding a way to log into a MacPro running Final Cut Studio and edit HD video from a remote location. The remote Mac would likely be of a lower spec and wouldn't need to have the video on it (make sense?).
What do I need to consider?
Is this something that could be done with Remote Desktop?
Would I need, say, a dedicated line to shuttle HD video about or would the MacPro be doing all the grunt work while I manipulate from a distance?
Erm... help...

Apologies if I wasn't very clear before. I shall try to explain/expand.
I'm coming in at the ground level of a new media company. The chap in charge wants to know if it would be possible for the editors to log into the FCP machines that will be located in the office from their home Macs and edit remotely.
I was under the impression that, via Remote Desktop (or similar), all that would happen is that the home machines would simply act as a display, keyboard & mouse for the office mahcines. Effectively the computer equivalent of the guy working with the nuclear rod; he looks through the glass with his arms in a pair of attached gloves.
At no point does the video content need to travel to the home machine.
Does that make any more sense?
Apologies if I'm babbling; I was thrown in the deep end with this a couple of hours ago.

Can Remote Desktop install Final Cut Studio?

Hi,
I'm planning a large rollout of Final Cut Studio 3 to a network of 36 MacPro's. I use Apple Remote Desktop to install as much as possible, but I've never been able to install Final Cut using ARD due to it being a multi-disc installer and requiring the serial number during the install. The best I've been able to do is push installer disk images out to the computers, then run the installer manually on each via screen sharing. Not horrible, but a lot more time consuming than it should be.
I don't see anything in the Final Cut Studio installer on using ARD, but I thought I'd check here.
Thanks,
Mitch

Thanks. My method thus far is similar. I image each disc to a folder, then put the discs away (pretty much standard procedure for any install really). Remote Desktop lets you push the image files out to all computers simultaneously - freakishly fast using multicast networking. The image files are then local to each machine. I'll then sit at the admin station, and using Remote Desktop's screen sharing jump between each computer starting the installer and pasting the serial number. When done, I trash the installer image files from the local computers.
I've played with imaging full systems, but I always think of "one last thing" that needs to be done to configure then I'm back imaging again.
Most applications that use the pkg/mpkg installer format install great over Remote Desktop. Even some that have serial number entry during install have workarounds (Filemaker lets you create a plist containing the serial for example). Even Adobe has come around with CS4, not using the standard format but packaging their multi-disc installer with configuration info for simple network installs.

Time Capsule and Final Cut Studio

Is there a way to have Time machine and Time Capsule halt operations while Final Cut Studio components are in use? I've had a couple of annoying hangs.

Unfortunately, you are seeing the results of pushing too much data simultaneously on your network.
Two options come to mind: 1) Utilize Gigabit Ethernet connections between network clients where possible, and 2) Utilize 802.11n 5 GHz only connections where Ethernet is not an option.
Besides those, temporarily disable Time Machine backups when processing files with FCP.

Can't install Final Cut Studio 2 because "PowerPC applications are no longer supported"

Bought a brand new 15" MacBookPro OS X 10.7 2.2Ghz Intel Core i7 and tried to install Final Cut Studio 2. Got the error message "You can't open the application FinalCutStudio.mpkg because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." Oh no, does this mean I have to spend more money!???

I'd like to provide an update on this situation in case anyone is in the same boat I am.
I went to the Apple store today. I asked if I could downgrade my operating system. They said no, since it came pre-installed with Lion. I asked if Final Cut Studio 3 was compatible with Lion. They said yes, for the most part. They said there was an issue exporting video in 1080p.
Of course, conveniently Apple is no longer selling FCS3 and the ones on Ebay I saw have gone up to more than $650 a copy. I am out $400 for stupidly buying FCS2 a few months ago, which is now useless to me. I told the Apple guy that I'm not buying FCS X until they work out all the kinks. This leaves me with this laptop that I bought for video editing with no editing software to use.
I never thought I'd say this, but I'm actually considering getting Premiere Pro now for Apple, which is supported in Lion and is running a deal for 50% off. (http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/faq.html#lion-os) If Apple doesn't start selling FCS 3 again, they are really not giving me any choice but to switch!

Final Cut Studio 2 and video app chaos

Hi,
Did anyone find after installing Final Cut Studio 2 that their 3rd party apps to do with video extraction/conversion suddenly start to unexpectedly quit when in operation? It's a brand new MacPro, lovely machine until Final Cut software went and messed things up. I won't mention the trouble I had to install both Logic Studio and FCS since they both share similar components and included apps, Apple's installer is not designed to cope and I had to mess about with the receipts folder to get both installed. This page was available yesterday http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1110?locale=en_GB to give an insight of the problems between the two. Anyhow, I think the best solution is to remove Final Cut software as I'm not up for spending hours debugging.

I had a huge issue pop up with me too...and I figured the best way was to wipe the drive, install the OS and FCP from scratch. Took a day, but better than spending more time trying to figure things out.

Looking for advice on a new Mac Pro system mainly for Final Cut Studio 2

We are a small video production company that works mainly on broadcast and internet projects. We're looking to upgrade from an aging Avid system to a Mac Pro running Final Cut Studio 2. The primary thing we want from this system is to be able to work quickly in Final Cut while at the same time doing other operations, and we're willing to spend what it takes to make that happen. We've done a lot of research but still have some issues where we could use your expertise - it's a big investment and we want to nail it.
Here's the configuration we're considering:
Processor: Two 3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon (8-core)
Memory: 16GB (4 x 4GB)
Hard Drives: 300GB 15,000-rpm SAS (for OS X, Final Cut, & other programs) plus 2 x 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s (for video storage)
Graphics: NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600
We're thinking about spending the extra $1600 to get the best processor available, since we want this machine to be the hub of the business for about five years. Any thoughts on whether to save a bit and go with the 2.8GHz? We've also heard the bus speed presents a bottleneck so the Quad-Core processing power can't be fully utilized - should that have any bearing on our processor decision?
The memory choice seems right - we'll see how well that works and retain the option to double the RAM, particularly as prices fall and new applications or hardware upgrades become tenable. However, we're thinking of perhaps buying some or all of the memory third-party - any advice on whether this tends to be worthwhile, where to get it, and what to watch out for? It looks like there may some issues with getting proper heat-sinking.
We like the hard drive plan, though we've heard a 15,000-rpm drive may generate a lot of heat - any thoughts on this?
The graphics card is where we're most torn - specifically between the Quadro 5600, the GeForce 8800, or perhaps even getting the computer with the standard card (or no card) and getting a different third-party card. We do mostly DV now, but we foresee doing HD projects in the future. We often use a green-screen that's in our studio and also apply minimal 3D effects as well as 3D text. We're debating whether to get the Quadro 5600 right off the bat and hopefully have no issues with it, or whether to get the GeForce 8800 for now and if we have issues then consider upgrading to the Quadro 5600 or potentially something else that would best suit our needs at that time. Would love to receive any and all advice on this issue.
Also, it looks like we're gonna buy Final Cut Studio 2 and are considering also getting Final Cut Server. It seems the combination would allows us to use the Final Cut suite on other computers (both Mac and Wintel) that don't have their own version of Final Cut installed. Is that the correct interpretation? Any other advice on whether to get FC Server would be appreciated.
Thanks very much for reading - we look forward to getting any and all advice you may have.

*Don't do it!* Stick with the dual-2.8GHz config. A jump from that to the dual-3.2GHz gains you only an approximate 9% increase in power at a 52% increase in cost! Not worth it all. That money is much wiser spent on RAM, RAID array, or a broadcast monitor.

The processor is only one part of the whole, and as I just mentioned, the power:cost benefits are not good.

Quadro 5600 is pricey, but I'm not sure about its benefits for people in our field. Even if I had the money for it, I would be hard pressed to consider it considering, again, money is liekly wiser spent elsewhere.

I don't know much about FCServer, but my impression is that it is -- simply speaking -- Final Cut version of Avid Unity. In other words, I am pretty certain that your understanding on that is false. I may be wrong.

I am trying to install Final cut pro studio V1.0.1 (2005) on OS X lion. I get a message "You can't open the application final cut studio.mpkg because power pc application are no longer supported

I am trying to install Final cut pro 5 studio V1.0.1 (2005) on OS X lion. I get a message "You can't open the application final cut studio.mpkg because power pc application are no longer supported. My computer is New. Is their a link I can go to get tech support?

You won't find any help at tech support ... other than telling you the facts: Intel processor Macs require FCP 5.1 or higher. FCP 5.0 and earlier were written for PowerPC processor Macs, long before Apple switched to using Intel processors.
And then there's the issue of the OS. OS 7 will allow FCP 7 (and sometimes even FCP 6) to work OK, but versions earlier than that have spotty operation on Lion.
Here's a brief history of full FCP versions and recommended OS compatibility:
* = requires PPC             ** = works with both PPC and Intel                          *** = require Intel
FCP 1.0*       OS 9
FCP 2.0*       OS 9
FCP 3.0*       OS 9, OS 10.1, OS 10.2
FCP 4.0*       OS 10.2, 10.3
FCP 4.5*       OS 10.3
FCP 5.0*       OS 10.3 (OS 10.4?)
FCP 5.1**     OS 10.4, 10.5
FCP 6.0**     OS 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 (OS 10.7?)
FCP 7.0***    OS 10.6, OS 10.7
FCP-X***       OS 10.6, OS 10.7
Essentially, you have a newer Intel processor Mac with a new OS and very old, incompatible software.   You might be able to find a used version of Final Cut Studio 3 on sites like ebay or craigslist as it is no longer offered by Apple as an upgrade.
Alternatively, you could purchase and download FCP-X, but it is an entirely different application, sharing virtually nothing with previous versions of FCP.

Problem Installing Final Cut Studio Upgrade

I recently purchased the Final Cut Studio Upgrade. When I went to input my SN for FCP 6 to install the upgrade, it rejects it as invalid. Have FCP 6 on my computer operating just fine. what gives?

Check to make sure your current FCP install (FCP 6) isn't an academic or Not-For-Resale version; neither is eligible for upgrade.
If you have a legitimate retail version of FCP 6, make sure you are entering the exact serial number as found on the two stickers affixed to the front of the booklet titled "Installing Your Software" that came packaged with FCP 6.
Be careful to enter a 0 (zero) instead of an uppercase O and a 1 (one) instead of a lowercase l (L) or vice versa. The serial number should be 1 letter - 3 numbers - 3 letters - 3 numbers - 3 letters - 3 numbers - 3 letters - 3 numbers - 3 letters - 3 letters - 1 letter with 3 numbers

Major meltdown - Can't seem to reinstall Final Cut Studio 6

Hello All,
My Final Cut stopped working. Specifically, it couldn't find the compressor application. I decided to "zero out" my MacBook Pro, and reinstall the operating system. I intended to then reinstall Final Cut Studio 6.
All went well with the "zero out" and reinstallation of the OS Mac OS X (10.4.11). However, when I attempt to reinstall FCP 6, after the first audio content 1 disc, the system asks for the reinsertion of the Final Cut Studio Install disc. I then get a message that the installation failed, and please try again.
Well, I've tried 5 times, and no success.
Can someone advise where to from here. I'm dead in the water.
Thank you.
DG

I was instructed to purchase the upgrade ($300), as it will only require my serial number, and I'm told my version will not be supported soon enough as the OS evolves.
While Apple may not be supporting FCP 6 any more, FCP 6 should definitely still install on your OS. You also should be aware that FCP 7 is not supported on OS X 10.4 so if you do choose to upgrade, you will need to also buy Leopard or Snow Leopard.

How well does Final Cut Studio run with 3gb of ram? Macbook Pro 2.33mhz

I have a 2.33mhz (Model a1211) Macbook Pro. I've maxed out the ram to 4gb but because of the motherboard restrictions (that I still don't quite understand) it can only use 3GB.
I've read on the FCS specs that the minimum is requirement is 1GB but Apple recommends 4GB.
I cut mainly short 3 to 5 minute pieces with AVCHD video decoded with up to 60-90 minutes of footage.
Will I have any serious issues with any of the Final Cut Studio Programs that I should be aware of?
I'm obviously not expecting Mac Pro results but If it doesn't run very well with 3GB, I might have to rethink my purchase. If it is just a "hiccup" now and then with waiting for video to start or such, I will deal.
Thanks

Motion is gfx intensive. Meaning that the lower the gfx card, the lower the performance. You should expect little-to-no realtime performance from Motion on the system mentioned with even basic-to-remotely-intermediate animations. CPU RAM will make a difference in the amount of total frames that you can render in a RAM preview, but it will not affect realtime performance. With your proposed system: add a particle, a lower third text, a replicator with 5,000 points, a light with some shadows, and a reflection (and this is one of each mind you, not multiple instances) and expect around a * less than * 1-3 fps playback in draft quality with %50-%25 playback resolution. Then expect to wait up to a minute or more with the beachball of death for each parameter change. No joke either. Good luck fine-tuning your moderate-to-even-remotely-complex animation with your desired system.
If working in Motion is your desire, then focus on the graphics card. Unfortunately you can not upgrade your gfx card on the MBP, so you should consider selling your MBP and investing in a Mac Pro. You can upgrade the gfx card in the Mac Pro and obtain optimal performance from Motion. Otherwise you'll literally be stuck in the mud with your animations.

Having trouble installing Final Cut Studio...

So I recently bought my pal's Power Mac G5 dual 2.2GHz, reinstalled the OS (ver. 10.4.11), and am now installing all the software I use, including Final Cut Studio 2. Everything installed fine thus far, until FCS 2, which gets past the audio content portion of the install before stopping. All it says is "Please try to install this software later." (or something to that effect). The discs are good (new), I have a working serial number (it installed/operated perfectly on my old machine before I switched out), and as far as I know this machine is in better shape than my old one (a dual 1.8GHz G5, late 2004 model). My current machine is NOT an Intel model.
Any ideas, brethren? I really need to get back to video editing, and this is slowing . . . me . . . down. Mahalo.

I am having the same problem. I have read many postings and the solutions are not working. I had a hard drive fail in a G5. I am running OS 10.4.11. I replaced the drive with a 250 gig (top bay) loaded the OS and install FCP 5.1 upgrade by using the 4.5 key when requested. Just like Mr. Dirctor stated:
the install asked for the FCPStudio disc to be reinsert after the "audio loops" disc was loaded. The install fails immediately and states: Errors during install - please try again. After another go, skipping audio install, the other install disc Motion, DVD 4, LiveType produces the same error.

Final Cut Studio Fail After Pro Application Update 2010-1

Final Cut Pro crashes when loading project.
Motion crashes when loading project.
Compressor won't allow me to "submit" my batch from the 'name batch' stage.
I didn't try DVD Studio or Color.
Problems started as soon as I updated. Anyone else have similar problems? I tried dumping my system preferences but that didn't help. I haven't modified or customized FCS at all, I don't have any unusual plugins - I hardly even set up customized window configurations.
Using latest Final Cut Studio (MB642Z/A)
Final Cut Pro 7.0
Compressor 3.5
Motion 4
Running OS X 10.6.2
3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 21.5" iMac
8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Thank you for any feedback. If others have similar problems, I can wait for next update (hopefully soon) otherwise I have no clue where to start.

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:
2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.
A. Apple Software (Bundle)

Interesting, heh?

Final Cut Studio 2 / OS Lion

I just bought a new iMac anticipating that I would be able to use my employer's copy of Final Cut Studio 2.
This evidently is not the case at all.
The end result I am seeking is really to have a decent editing program along with compressor or something comparable with which to export. Motion would be great, but I wouldn't be torn up, as long as I had something better than iMovie with which to edit.
My question is in my situation what would be the most cost effective plan (without purchasing Final Cut Studio X or spending more than the cost of the new 21.5'' iMac I purchased)?
- Return the computer and look for a used Mac with Snow Leopard?
- Would a FCS 3 upgrade even work, if I could find one?
- I don't necessarily understand the specifics of the PowerPC dilemma, and is this a hardware problem with new iMacs? That is, if I used a different operating system, such as linux on the new iMac would I be able to load FCS 2?
I have looked around a few times through Message Boards, but haven't seemed to find anything on a user who has purchased a new iMac with the factory preset as OS Lion.
Any suggestions or leads would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Cool Nick. I came across your post later. I'm not really a big tech guy so I was hoping there was an easy fix but at least you're providing an option.
I'm shocked that Apple would do this (not allow FC6 to work on Lion). For a company that prides itself on being very consumer friendly and making life simple....this *****. I spent $1,800 + CDN thinking ya, let's go the legit route and actually buy software that will last me a few years but now I have this cool looking Apple box which I may end up using as a foot stool!
Hope you tech guys can figure something out or even better....maybe someone at Apple will fix this!
Love

Final Cut Studio Re-Install Failure

My Final Cut Studio is no longer operational. I used FCP a couple of weeks ago with no issues. This morning SoundTrack 3.0.1 refuses to start up, neither does Final Cut Pro 7.0.3. I uninstalled both SoundTrack and FCP and then found that my install disc for Final Cut Studio (Version 5.1) comes up with a message about no longer supporting PPC's and so will not install. I have a Mac Pro 1.1, OS 10.7.5. Any asistance would be greatly appreciated.

First and foremost, make sure you use the proper tools for uninstalling: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
FCP 5.1 was the first "universal" version of FCP, meaning that it would run on both PPC and Intel processor Macs. But if you have FCP 7, that means you should have Final Cut Studio 2009 (aka Final Cut Studio 3) since that's the only way you could purchase FCP 7.
To update your software to the latest version that you paid for, run Software Update on your Mac (under the Apple menu).
