UNINSTALLING FINAL CUT PRO

Can any one tell me how to uninstall Final Cut Pro completely? All my filters and sound loops etc are spread across multiple drives. I wish to start completely fresh and re-install Final Cut placing the loops etc onto one specific drive.
thanks

Not sure if you can pick a desinated location for the loops. You can simply copy it to new location.
Filters are in one location: library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support
Just trash it.
Download the 'FCP Rescue' and it will delete some prefs and other files for you. It's also handy to have when FCP crashes and it will restore your prefs.
Trash the application FCP.
Reinstalling the software will over-write the rest.

How do I uninstall final cut pro x?

Hi there.
Is there a proper way to uninstall Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5, and the new Compressor from my system (10.6.8), or can I just thrash the 3 apps?
I'd also like to make sure to delete the downloaded additional content, and that my Final Cut Studio (FCP 7.0.3, etc) that's also in this computer doesn't get affected.
I searched hi and lo and couldn't find any answer of discussion about it. The manual also doesn't say.
Thank you.

Hi there.
I have a way for you to uninstall FCPX, but it may be incomplete (as in it might not delete everything). Do not use this if you have Final Cut Studio and you want to keep it as this will render it useless and you will have to reinstall. First delete the program itself. If you are using a developer preview of Lion follow these steps:
1. Open Launchpad and find FCPX, Motion 5, and Compressor
2. Click and hold on the icon, then click the x in the top left corner of the wiggling icon.
3. Skip down below after the Snow Leopard Part.
Snow Leopard Steps:
1. Find a Mac uninstallation program (Here the one that I use: http://www.freemacsoft.net/AppCleaner/)
2. Launch App Cleaner.
3. Click on the application folder in your dock and find the 3 apps.
4. Drag them into the window that appears when you open App Cleaner.
5. Click delete, and then type the administrator password if it asks for one.
6. Skip down below.
Remove (I think all) of the additional content:
1. Click on finder.
2. Press CMD + Shift + G
3. Copy and paste this (replacing username with your actuall username): /Users/Username/Library
4. Look for and delete the Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Compressor folders.
5. Follow Step 2 above.
6. Follow Step 3 above except paste this (and don't replace anything): /Library/Application Support
7. Look for and delete the Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Compressor folders.

How to uninstall final cut pro 5

How do you do this? I have used app delete to erase the files but it didn't get them all. I know this because when I check for updates it still offers me the final cut pro updates. I have searched around but cant find an uninstaller. Help please.
Thanks,

Warning - This is a long post.
How to uninstall Final Cut Pro & the other ProApps -
There are two ways to do this. The first requires that you insert the
install discs for each app and go through the following procedure to
identify the installed files.
1) Insert the disc and double click the install icon.
2) Click to let the installer check your system
3) After the installer opens, click File > Show Files (Command-T)
4) Click the disclosure triangle next the the app's name to show all the
files installed, then select all of them
5) Choose Edit > Copy (Command-C)
6) Open a text editor & paste the list
7) If you have a printer connected, print
8) Make sure you delete the file/folder in the exact location indicated
in the list
9) Insert the next app's install disc and repeat
The other way involves the Terminal.
Using Terminal:
1) In Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder (Shift-Command-G)
2) Enter the location /Library/Receipts/FinalCurPro.pkg/Contents
3) Click Go to open the Contents folder
4) Launch Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal)
5) Enter the command lsbom -s (a lower case L, not an upper case i)
lsbom lists each of the files inside the bill of materials. To list only
the folders, the command would be lsbom -d.
6) Type a space, then drag the Archive.bom file from the Finder window
to the Terminal window.
7) Press Return to view the list
8) Drag to select the list in the Terminal window and choose File > Copy
(Command-C)
9) Open a text editor and paste the list into it. Print if you have a
printer attached.
10) Guided by the list, delete all the files and folders, being
extremely careful to delete from the exact locations shown in the list.
NOTE: The above comes from the Peachpit book Optimizing Your Final Cut
Pro System.

No, only the app is removed.
The Events and Projects are completely untouched and ready to use when you reinstall or update FCP X.
To uninstall simply drag the FCP X application icon to the trash and delete it.

How do I uninstall Final Cut Pro 5 Suite?

I've never actually tried to uninstall this suite, so I may be overlooking something obvious. I tried opening the install package and looking for an option there, but no luck - and the document on Apple's site that should instruct me on how to do this seems to be missing.
Does anyone have any tips?

one of the support articles includes these notes:
Another approach you might consider is reinstalling Final Cut Pro. To do this effectively, you need to remove the application and its receipts, then install Final Cut Pro and use Software Update to install additional updates. You don't have to remove everything that was installed with Final Cut Pro. Follow the steps below to completely reinstall a fresh copy of Final Cut Pro. Note: Make sure that you have your installation discs and serial number handy before starting this.
Open the Applications folder.
Drag the Final Cut Pro application to the Trash.
Go to /Library/Receipts.
In the Receipts folder, select the "FinalCutPro.pkg" file.
Choose View > as List to view the contents in a list.
Click the Date Modified column header so you can easily see all of the receipts that were installed at the same time as Final Cut Pro.
Drag the FinalCutPro.pkg receipt to the Trash, as well as any other items that have the same modification date within 3 minutes of the FinalCutPro.pkg's modification date.
Click the Name column header to sort the list alphabetically.
Drag any other receipts whose names begin with "Final Cut Pro" to the Trash.
Insert your Final Cut Pro installation disc and install Final Cut Pro.
When finished, use Software Update (under the Apple menu) to update your software to the latest version.
For further information on settings or installation, please refer to the Final Cut Pro documentation available on your installation discs.
Hope that helps

Installing/uninstalling Final Cut Pro X

I've download Final Cut Pro X from the App Store using a redemption code from a Multiuser license purchased by my employer (a university) and installed it on a lab Mac. How do I legitimately uninstall it and re-install it on another university Mac ?

DDid you follow Apple instruction how remove the trial ? Final Cut Pro X: How to remove the Final Cut Pro X Trial - Apple Support

How do I uninstall Final Cut Pro??

Do I have to do anything else apart from putting the icon in the trash?

Use an application such as AppZapper; Final Cut Pro places a large number of items on the system, and cannot be removed just by throwing the application away.

Someone told me that uninstalling FCP 4/4.5 (HD) is the same as uninstally FCP 5, but I haven't really found anything for uninstalling 4/4.5.
So any tips would be very helpful.
Many thanks,

HT5149 If I uninstall Final Cut Pro X, will I lose my events and projects?

Something went wrong with the compressor and I'm unable to render any videos through any of the share options. I have 10.0.0

The Events and Projects are completely separate from the app so they will be completely safe if you uninstall it.
The easiest way to uninstall completely is to use this excellent free app
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
You should also be using the latest version . . . FCP X 10.0.9

Uninstalling final cut pro HD 4.5

Can anyone tell me how to do this. I have dragged application (including the accompanying software, such as soundtrack etc) to trash and found files manually and deleted them from library. I must not have found all the files as software update still nags me to install FCP updates.
It is too late for me to use AppZapper...has I have already trashed FCP. FCS didn't work either, it did find some files, but not all.

Umm no. could you tell me where I might find it?

Need Uninstall Advice for Final Cut Pro 5.0

Ok, so I recently upgraded to Final Cut Pro 5.0 from 4.5 HD. My computer is a G4 dual 450 mhz and is relatively stock (Rage 128 AGP card) with a few upgrades to the ram and hard drives. Unfortunately I failed to read the "Before you install Final Cut Pro 5.0" file and didn't realize I need a Quarts Extreme AGP card to run FCP 5.0. I can't afford to buy one right now, so I want to downgrade back to 4.5 HD. Is there an easy way to do this? I tried deleting all the FCP files and reinstalling 4.5 but it tells me to try again due to an error. Is there a file I'm forgetting to delete, or an easy way to uninstall 5.0, or a way to use 5.0 with the Rage 128 AGP card? Thanks
-Julian

A search of the FCP forum for AGP yields many results for this ... among them is: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2339613&#2339613
Do the hack and you should be running fine with FCP 5

Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 problems with LiveType & uninstall/reinstall missingCD

Hi there. I am actually crossing my fingers hoping that people can help me with this issue of mine.
I have been using full version of FCP HD 4.5 for a long while then I moved from an apt to a new apt, then I realized some of my previous FCP projects would not opened. After a long while figuring out what was the problem, and I realized if any of my projects that contain any LiveType project, my projects will not open. Why? I have no idea why? I am hoping someone might have the answer for this.
So... I thought I would uninstall and reinstall everything, then I realized I might have misplaced my Final Cut install CD Luckily, I didn't delete the FC, so I decided to leave it on my hard drive. I went ahead and reinstall the rest, but I noticed LiveType doesn't show up at all except I was able to see LiveType Data. I couldn't see/find the LiveType Icon except the folder of LiveType Data. My another question is... was I supposed to have a LiveType installation CD along with the LiveType Data CD or that was the only installation CD I'm supposed to have? I thought I still have the list of items that Im supposed to have that came in the FCP HD 4.5 box... apparently, that is misplaced!
Can anyone answer my questions--
1. Why my FCP projects would not opened because of problems with LiveType & what is the problem?
2. Was I supposed to have a LiveType installation CD along with the LiveType Data CD or that was the only installation CD I'm supposed to have?
3. Is there a specific order that I am supposed to install FCP HD? Like I should install FCP first, then Motion 2nd, LiveType 3rd, & so forth? If so, please share it with me
4. Can anyone please share with me on what installation CDs I was supposed to have from FCP HD 4.5? I want to make sure I have everything, which I know I do not, or I can look for specific CD(s).
This is what I have (they may be for other program that I must have mixed it all together)--
1. Final Cut Pro HD HD Sampler (obviously that is NOT the actual FCP HD 4.5 installation CD, right?)
2. Motion Install
3. Motion Content
4. Apple Loops for Soundtrack
5. DVD Studio Pro 3
6. Live Type Data (1 of 2)
7. Live Type Data (2 of 2)
8. Peak 3 Express
Any suggestions or answers will be SO MUCH appreciated!
Thank you for taking the time to read this and answer my questions if you can
Carrie

Thank you, Nick.
Shoot. That means I did misplaced my FCP installation disk!
I still don't understand why my FCP projects that contains LiveType wouldn't opened! I need to get most of them opened! Argggghhh.
I am curious ... is there any other program similar to LiveType (like creating exciting texts) that I can use to work with FCP?
Lemme know! Thanks
Carrie

Uninstalling and reinstalling final cut pro x 10.0.9

Hello all Can anyone tell me how to Uninstall and reinstall final cut pro x 10.0.9. Can I redownload final cut pro x I bought it on line. Also I'm running Lion.
My problelm with FCX it hangs after a few clicks. I have cleared preferences but no avail. Help please.
Can not update to Maverick.

Hopefully, you can fix before having to uninstall. If you so the only way you can get 10.0.9 is to install Mountain Lion (10.8.))
Does it hang with all projects?
How did you trash preferences? Use this app if you didn't earlier.

How can i uninstall the final cut pro x trial version after installing final cut pro x

How can I unintall the trial version of the final cut pro x after installing the new updated final cut pro x 10.2

I have the same issue. There are now two version of FCP X: the trial one and the purchased one. Problem is, the first hasn't been overwritten by the second, and all my projects are only visible on Final Cut Pro X Trial, and nothing on FCP X.
How and where do I get a fast answer from customer support?

Uninstall Final Cut Studio Pro 2 (buggy)

Really Frustrated with FCPS2, can any tell me how to remove Studio from my system. I need to go back to 5, but need to clean out the buggy Final Cut Pro Studio 2

You can do a "clean" install of your OS, or you can:
http://proapptips.com/tips/article.php?story=20060927223215377&query=reinstall
the clean install is the most hotly debated topic right now, other than the utility of "Content Creation with Final Cut Studio" forum. you decide. good luck.
