Setting up final cut pro studio after fault

Hi
I installed final cut pro studio a few months ago but my mac then had to go in for repair. I have since had it back but when trying to run any of the studio applications, when asked to enter my serial number again it says it cannot run application as licensing data is corrupt.
can anyone help?
thanks

If it was my mac, I'd archive anything of importance to another drive or cd's or data dvd's, then do a complete erase and install of everything, starting with the OS.
Install OS, run the updates, install applications, run the updates. Repair permissions and reboot after every installation. You'll be stunned at how spiffy your machine will then be.
You can search this forum for how to just trash the corrupt licensing data. But personally, I wouldn't do that. FWIW.

  • Specs for Final Cut Pro Studio 2 - Which current mac?

    Hi All,
    Just wondering if Final Cut Pro Studio 2 can be run on a current iMac Core 2 Duo?
    Or is it only to be used on pro machines like the MacBook Pro and Mac Pro?
    I am looking at learning the program and need to know if my current iMac would be good enough to learn on?
    Many Thanks,
    Dean

  • Final Cut Pro Studio 2 Install

    Hello I purchased my G4 Dual 1.25 Ghz with 1GB of memory about a year ago. It had installed Final Cut Pro Studio 1 (FCP 5) at the time with all the other programs. Recently after I upgraded my Quicktime to 7.6 My DVD Studio Pro stopped working. After much trying and advice I re-installed my OS Leopard that I purchased about 6 months ago and lost all my serial numbers for all the programs, (FCP, DVD Studio, Soundtrack etc.) So now I would like to purchase Final Cut Pro Studio 2 (educational version) and I am told I will have to have serial numbers for Final Cut Pro Studio 1 because this is an upgrade. How can I install FCP Studio 2 with out any previous serial numbers? Please any help would be greatly appreciated, I work with the elderly and we have several projects we are working on together and I really need to get back up and running. Thank you for any help anyone can give me.

    Final Cut Pro Studio 2 (educational version)
    EDU versions are full versions (but they can't be upgraded to the next full version)
    if you go this route you should be fine

  • Downgrading from Final Cut Pro Studio to Final Cut Express

    Will Final Cut Express let me use the Boris Title 3D Video Generator effect that I now use in Final Cut Pro Studio?
    Does it have an outline text video generator effect?
    Since I have DVDSP 4.1.2, will I be able to drag my exported non self-contained quicktime movie into DVDSP? I have read I can use iDVD.
    I see from the tutorial (http://www.apple.com/finalcutexpress/tutorials/) it does not have the ability to log clips for batch capture later but it does have a project button. Does anyone use that and can share what it does?
    I have a Canon DV20 HD camera which I use for DV also. Since I have read that FCE will not read HDV from this camera, has anyone brought DV in using this camera?
    Does anyone see any other negatives to downgrading?
    I have been using Final Cut Pro from version 1.5 since it did what I needed it to do. Over the years they have added a plethora of packages to it, none of which I use. So why spend 700.00 to upgrade when I can spend 200 to get what I will use?
    Thanks for your input.

    Lots of questions:
    "Will Final Cut Express let me use the Boris Title 3D Video Generator effect that I now use in Final Cut Pro Studio?"
    Yes.
    "Does it have an outline text video generator effect?"
    Yes, but don't use. Use Title 3D.
    "Since I have DVDSP 4.1.2, will I be able to drag my exported non self-contained quicktime movie into DVDSP?"
    Yes. Or you can use Compressor, which you should have, to encode your video.
    "I see from the tutorial (http://www.apple.com/finalcutexpress/tutorials/) it does not have the ability to log clips for batch capture later but it does have a project button. Does anyone use that and can share what it does?"
    It allows you to log your material first, selecting the pieces on the tape you want to capture and then going back and letting the machine capture the selected pieces.
    "I have a Canon DV20 HD camera which I use for DV also. Since I have read that FCE will not read HDV from this camera, has anyone brought DV in using this camera?"
    Never heard of camera.
    "Does anyone see any other negatives to downgrading?"
    What version are you using?

    It will likely run FCP but won't run Motion or Color. If the fastest external drive connection you have is FW800 then you'll be somewhat limited in the number of streams of video you can work with at the same time.
    Also, it would run better with 4 GB RAM.

  • How do you Chapter Video Podcasts in Final Cut Pro Studio 2

    I am in final cut pro studio 2. I have my video setup like I want. I placed Markers and labeled them as chapters. But when I try to export i just get a chapterless video. How on earth do i get this to work. I tried exporting with Compressor and exporting with Quicktime pro. I just want to make a chaptered video podcast why is it so darn hard to do so? I went hunting everywhere on the net and nothing explains just how to do it in Final Cut Pro. Everything is iMovie this iMovie that .... well sorry, but I don't want to use stinking iMovie.
    Sorry for venting I'm just really aggravated because I have tried four different things hoping it would work but each export which is two hours of wasted time that I fall more behind.

    Hi Patrick,
    My FCP experience is limited - I write software add-ons for it, but I don't edit. I remember this issue coming up before though. QuickTime has the ability to create chapter tracks, but you can't do this from markers in FCP. (I used to do it with the great QuickTime editor in Adobe GoLive.)
    The chapter tracks in .mp4 video are similar but different to the QuickTime chapter tracks, so I assume that the FCP markers won't work. Frustrating!
    Why don't you try out PodcastMaker free for 30 days: http://www.lemonzdream.com/podcastmaker/ This software is very easy to use and (outside of Garageband) is the easiest way to add chapter tracks to a podcast, and even though it's an extra step, it will help you with the podcasting side of the workflow you'll eventually be faced with.

  • Final Cut Express HD 3.5 and Final Cut Pro Studio 5.1.1

    Hi,
    I have a client with both of these installed on the same machine (running 10.4.6).
    When they try and launch either application, the splash screen comes up, loading various filters, etc. then they get an error message:
    "File Error: A file of this name already exists" "OK"
    Clicking "OK" closes the app.
    Any idea:
    1. What the file in question is?
    2. Can it be deleted to let the app run?
    3. Can Final Cut Express HD 3.5 and Final Cut Pro Studio 5.1.1 be used on the same machine?
    I'll post this on the Final Cut Pro thread too (but with the order reversed).

    1. No idea.
    2. Depends what the file is.
    3. Yes. Though I've never tried to run them at the same time.

  • I can't open Final Cut Pro x after it crushed

    I can't open anymore Final Cut Pro X after it crushed while I was editing footage for 10 minutes. Can you tell the reason and what could I do to resolve it?
    Thank you

    Maybe the Library or Project have become corrupt.
    Hold down the option key as you launch FCP X and you should be given the choice of which Library to open.
    Choose to create a new one.
    If that doesn't work try these troubleshooting strategies.
    Use this free app to trash the preferences. This should be the first thing you try when any problems occur.
             http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
    2.  With FCP X shutdown, hold down option key and select Go>Library>Application Support>Final Cut Pro  .  .  .  trash the Layouts Folder.
      3. Open Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
      4. Trash FCP X using this free app and reinstall it.
          http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
      5. If these 3 measures don't work, create a new User Account (Admin) in System    Preferences and try running FCP X from that as it sometimes works miracles.

  • New MacBook Pro 7.1 doesn't install final cut pro studio

    I bought a new macbook pro 13' last week. When I tried to install the final cut pro studio, an alert window popped up saying that my mackbook doesn't have the required hardware to support the final cut pro. Can any one please help me on that?

    FCP 5.0.4 is not compatible with Intel Macs.
    If you have that version, then you need to upgrade to FC Studio 3, which is compatible with Intel Macs.
    FCP 5.1.4 is compatible, but you'll need at least FCP 6.0.x to run with Snow Leopard.
    Expect to pay about $250.00 for the upgrade if you shop.

    What you did was not enough to delete the preferences properly.
    This article tells you how. It is for FCE2 but works the same for FCE3 so I assume it is also OK for FCE 3.5:-

    It's simple to do so try it before reinstalling etc. - You should completely uninstall before reinstalling:-

    I am having an issue burning DVDs on Final Cut Pro X. After 15 minutes, I get a QuickTime Error:0. Anybody have a solution to this?

    I'm sure the pros will be along to ask what your settings are.  Although this may not be exactly helpful, I did find compressor to be much more robust for burning DVDs.  This could partially be because it includes a template to convert you movie into correct DVD format.  I was quite pleased with the outcome after multiple failed attempts using FCPX alone.
