Uninstalling Final Cut Express 3.5 after installing 4.0

After installing FCE 4, I noticed that version 3.5 is still present. The Apple web site contains instructions on how to uninstall version 3.5
<http://support.apple.com/kb/TA38198?viewlocale=en_US>
but how many of those locations are used by both versions?

Just curious, do you suspect  3.5 is creating a conflict with 4.0.?  Or is it a matter of house cleaning…or is there some other reason why you want to get rid of it?

Actually, either or both.
I did use their FCS Remover and it removed everything, FCE 3.5 and 4. Fortunately, the folders from which all of the files were removed were identified, so I simply replaced everything except for the 3.5 app. I am still using version 3.5 within a separate partition for existing projects. If I had known then what I know now, I would have simply deleted the 3.5 application and not worried about the other files.

  • Why does my final cut express movie flicker after i put on disk using idvd

    Why does my final cut express movie flicker after burning to a dvd using idvd.  Its about 90 minutes long.

    Hi
    As Alchroma writes - more info needed.

    Several things
    • How to go from FCE/P to iDVD
    • Free space on Start-up hard disk
    • Encoding
    • Brand and type of DVDs used
    • Burn speed set
    • iDVD BUG
    • Chapters
    How to go from FCE/P to iDVD I do
    • Disable Screen and Energy saver
    • IMPORTANT --> FIRST in FinalCut - Mix Down Audio under Sequence Menu / Render Only / Mix-down
    • Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
    • Select with Mark - Chapter Mark
    • Not as Self-Contained (not important but saves time and space)
    • NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION (IMPORTANT)
    This QT.mov file I import into iDVD from within iDVD.
    Free space on Start-up hard disk
    I set a minimum of 25GB (for Mac OS and iDVDs temp files)
    Encoding
    • I use Pro Quality encoding
    Brand and type of DVDs used
    • I use Verbatim
    • I use DVD-R
    Burn speed set
    • I set down this to x4 (or x1)
    iDVD BUG
    • One can not go back to movie-project for any alterations and then go back to
    the iDVD project. It will notice and ask You to either Up-date or Cancel. Neither
    of them will work.
    Medicine - Start a brand new iDVD project.
    Use of Chapters
    • I only use a to z and 0 to 9 in naming them. NO other symbol/letter !
    • NO Chapter-mark at very beginning - iDVD NEEDS TO set this by it self
    • No Chapter marks in or within two seconds from a transition
    (Way around this last one - Export movie as QT full quality and NO Chapter marks
    Import this into a new Movie-project and now You are free to set C-Ms where You want
    them except at very beginning - still)
    Material used to build movie
    • video - I use streamingDV (or convert all other to this e.g. .mp4, .avi, .wmv etc)
    • audio - I use .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or from Audio-CD (44.1kHz) - no .mp3 or direct from iTunes
    • photos - I use .jpg - no .bmp etc
    Trash iDVD pref. file and run Repair Permissions - and have a re-try.
    from post ??
    May not be relevant, but I had the same problem with iDVD, where burned DVDs showed a green screen. It was cured by quitting Quicksilver and Quickeys as well as disabling sleep and screen-saving

  • Do I have to uninstall Final Cut Express 4 to Install Final Cut Studio 3

    Can I leave Final Cut Express 4 on my machine at the same time install Final Cut Studio 3. I have some unfinished projects on FCE I want to finish at some time but not necessarily in the next few weeks.
    Are these programs going to conflict with each other or is it best to just uninstall FCE? Also...is FCE uninstall just a straight delete? I don't see an uninstall app.
    Thanks
    Bryan

    FCE and FCS can live quit happilly together.
    Sticking to FCE for FCE stuff is a wise move.

  • How do I uninstall Final Cut Express to sell?

    I want to sell my copy of Final Cut Express HD as I no longer need it. How do I uninstall the software so that the buyer will experience no licensing issues when they come to install it on their own Mac?

    No and he wouldn't have had any problems even if you hadn't uninstalled it.
    All that happens is that whenever a new person registers it overwrites the previous person.
    In any case it's really a waste of time registering as it confers no benefits other than getting rid of the "nag-screen" asking you to register after every fifth launch of FCE!

  • How do  register for final cut express which came pre-installed? i'm being asked to provide a serial number - how is that possible?

    how do i find the serial number for software that was pre-installed on my imac? it's the final cut express software - which i can't use without the serial number .... help, please! d.s.

    When you purchase a computer from Apple with pre-installed software it comes with the OS install discs, the iLife install disc, and any other installation discs. You should have an FCE installation disc. The serial number should be on the disc.

  • Final Cut express wont open after Lepard Install

    I just installed Lepard to my mac and Final cut wont open...its gone dead, I find out the my version of FC express is 3.5.1, I have been having a few different things happen within the last 72 hours of the install,My dock sometimes doesnt respond,I need some adviser on the Final Cut issue, I have work in there and I need to access it...Help,
    itsonlyme...

    Every instance is different. There is no single fix for everyone.
    Start here:
    http://www.fcpbook.com/Video10.html
    Then come back and do this:
    Please give your full system specifications, what computer, what drives, what camera or deck, how everything's connected, what settings are on the media, what settings you're using in FCE, and finally what version of the software, of the OS, and of QT are you using?

  • How do I properly uninstall Final Cut Express HD

    I got a new MacBook Pro, and put my old FCE HD on to it with the Migration Assistant, but now it doesn't work because the hardware is different. Now, how do I get FCE properly uninstalled???
    Is there a certain doing for every program to uninstall???

    Use this to uninstall: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcs_remover.htm
    If I recall correctly, you'll need FCE 4 to install and run properly on an IntelMac.

  • Final Cut Express unexpectedly quits after system update

    I've just installed all of my system updates, and now when I try to launch FCE I get an error that says the program has closed unexpectedly. What is going on here?

    Hi,
    Sorry to interject, but may I ask why is it better to uninstall an older version before upgrading? Will that cause any problems opening old projects?
    And yes, to the original question, I've learned the hard way that FCE is very picky. You have to match the proper OS cat and QT or else it won't work very well. I'm not sure about versions 1 or 3, but thanks to these fine people on the discussion boards I learned that FCE 2 needs no more that 10.4.10 and QT 7.2 I'm upgrading my computer as well and it seems FCE 3.5.1 and 4 will both work on Leopard and the current version of QT. I chose 3.5.1 since it is cheaper on ebay and has better Soundtrack and Livetype features. 3.5.1 is not as future-proof since it might not work with the upcoming Snow Leopard or future QT, but my PowerPC computer won't run Snow Leopard anyway so it doesn't matter to me.

  • Final Cut Express 2 won't install HELP

    I try to open the app and it says "CONFIGURATION ERROR... this software requires certain hardware or software which is missng: AGP graphics card." Anyone know a fix for this issue? Or why this is? I'm currently running a quad g5. Any help would be more then appreciated. Thank you for your time.

    I had the exact same problem last month. Your graphics card is fine, don't worry. Unfortunately, you do need to install the latest upgrade of FCE (which I think is 2.0.3. but I could be wrong) To do this, you first need to register your existing version, then you need to go to FCE site, type in all your registration details, then download the latest upgrade. I'm afraid you need broadband to download this. Bit of a con, because I wasn't planning on getting broadband, but had to fork out just to get my version of FCE to work. Hope this works.

    After reinstalling with FCS Remover, you need to update everything to the latest version including ProKit.

  • Uninstalled final cut HD express but software update still reminds me

    I have uninstalled Final cut express HD, because I didn't know it would not run on an intel Mac (no AGP video), but when running software updates it reminds me of updates. Uninstalled by dragging to trash, can't find any other related items using spotlight.

    If you ever want to uninstall again, properly, follow the instructions on this link :-

    Note that some of the items are for LiveType and Soundtrack.

  • Trouble Re-Installing FInal Cut Express

    Hello Everyone,
    I have been a frequent reader of this forum, and now I've finally gummed myself up enough that I have to post a question. For a variety of reasons I needed to remove Final Cut Express from my iMac, so I used FCS Remover as has been recommended. I then reinstalled Final Cut Express, which seemed to install normally, but when I open the program I now get a lengthy error message. The most concerning statement in the message reads:
    "Library not loaded: /Library/Frameworks/ProFX.framework/Versions/A/ProFX
    Referenced from: /Applications/Final Cut Express.app/Contents/MacOS/Final Cut Express
    Reason: image not found"
    Although unrelated to Final Cut Express, I can no longer open Aperture either. Has anyone else had a similar issue? If so, what did you do to resolve it? This issue could be beyond the scope of this forum, and if so off I will go to call Apple directly for help. I thought I would check here first.
    Thank you for any guidance.

    See if this helps

  • Final Cut Express 3.5 - Problems Starting Up

    Hi there,
    I recently purchased Final Cut Express 2.0 and installed it onto my computer. After running into numerous glitches, I upgraded to FCE 3.5.
    I installed FCE 3.5 and LiveType and Soundbooth both are working great. However, when I open FCE, it begins to open and starts to load. You assume it is going to load in, but then the screen disappears and you are back to the desktop.
    I have deleted the preference files from the library, figuring that would be the solution. However, it seems as if that still has not solved my problem.
    Can anybody lend some advice as to what else I might try? If you have steps on how to do these things, that'd be great, too.
    I need to get this fixed by the weekend.
    NOTE: Someone said to try repairing Disc Permissions? What will that do? Will my information/docuemnts, etc be deleted? Someone also said to try re-installing? I need back ups, however, if these two things don't work.
    The apple support people that I called said I should come on here, so please do not advise me to call Apple.
    THANK YOU!!!!

    Repair Disk Permissions as Peter suggests.
    It will only take a couple of minutes and will not harm anything on your Mac.
    If that doesn't cure the problem, trash your preferences PROPERLY. Most people simply delete the .plist which is worse than useless. This is how to do it correctly :-
    http://www.fcpbook.com/Misc1.html
    Should that not improve matters, there is probably some corrupt file in FCE so completely UNINSTALL FCE exactly like this :-
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301182
    You can ignore all the Soundtrack and LiveType items.
    Finally reinstall just FCE 3.5.
