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.

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?

Update final cut studio

Hi,
Im working with a final cut studio 6.01 and I would like to know if I have to pay for the update to 6.04?
does the serial number that I have when I bought 6.0 works for 6.04?
thanks

UPDATES are free. You can usually tell an update because only the last of the 3 numbers changes.
UPGRADES you pay for. Usually the first or second number in the name changes.
I think I've got it right this time. Last time I wrote about them I got Updates and Upgrades mixed up!

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!

Will Final Cut Studio 2 HD and FCP 7 Upgrade load on newest OS?

I have Final Cut Studio HD and an FCP 7 Upgrade on my old system. Looking to buy a new iMac and wondered if I could load Studio 2 and FCP 7 on the newest OS?
Any insight is appreciated!

Forgot to mention, although it will install it isn't officially supported by Apple anymore. Just in case someone jumps in to point it out.

Can I install Final Cut Studio 3.0 after already having FCP X?

I have already installed FCP X on one of my computers. I need to install Final Cut Studio 3.0 on the same computer now.
When I tried to install, I get the selection screen and Final Cut is ghosted out and unavailable.
Is there a way around this? I know FCP X can co-exist with Final Cut Studio 3.0 if it's installed afterward, but I need to know if I can install Final Cut Studio after FCP X which I imagine is a fairly rare situation.
I'm on Lion -- in case that matters.
_Matt_

I'm not positive, but I believe that FCPX installer is aware of FCS. If you intsall FCPX and FCS is already on your computer, the FCPX installer will move FCS into a folder inside Applications. I'm sure FCS installer is not aware of the existance of FCPX.
I would guess that you would have to uninstall FCPX, install FCS and then, if you wanted, re-install FCPX, using the App Store.
I have not actually done this, but I'm guessing that having FCPX already on your computer is what's causing issues with the FCS installer.

Final Cut Studio 2(Color) and AGP graphics cards

So I have ordered FCS 2 for my business(Videography with HDV cameras).
I am on the 2.0 Ghz G5 with dual processors and a 23' Apple Cinema Display.
The computer came with the ATI 9600 Pro Radeon card.
All the technical requirements for Color are PCI slotted busses. So it looks like I am at a dead end if I wish to use Color??? (Some people said that the AGP x800XT might work ok, but this is not verified, and who knows what the performance would be anyway).
A new computer is the only practical solution?

Read further down the page:

* A display with 1680-by-1050 resolution or higher
* A three-button mouse for full functionality
All the original poster has to do is buy a new graphics card, that's it.

Final Cut Studio 3 installed - and in FCP and Motion, video comes out white

My system meets all the requirements, I've got QT 7.6.4 (and it is pro registered). I did a fresh install of FCS3. When I load anything into an FCP project, the audio plays but video just comes out white (with the exception of an mpg I tried bringing in that did show properly). Also, in Motion, when I load a template, it shows drop zones but all of the graphics are not visible, even when going into "layers".

The video is QT clips and FCP movie (QT exports) from previous work in older versions. It does play fine in QT, so that's not the problem. I also checked and indeed RGB is selected, so it's no an alpha problem.
When I import an mpg, it shows fine in the Viewer. When I import a jpg picture into a new project, it shows as a multicoloured rough image. Video clips just show as white. If I drag that jpg down to the timeline, it shows as White in the Canvas.

Can i install Final cut studio 5 and DVD Studio Pro 4 on OSX lion

Is any body who can help me on giving me some direction on how to install Final Cut Studio 5.1 and DVD Studio Pro 4 on my OSX Lion, if it's doable. Thanks

The easiest way is to install Rosetta from a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD first.
There's also a way of doing it via Terminal that's been posted here a couple of times. A search should bring that up.

Installing and Using Logic Studio and Final Cut Studio 2 On the Same iMac

In March of this year, I switched from being a long-time user of PC's to a 24 in. 2.4 GHZ iMac. In late May I purchased Final Cut Studio 2 and Aperture and have greatly enjoyed using both of these applications on my iMac. Both run with no problems under Leopard which I installed shortly after it came out. I am now considering the purchase of Logic Studio since I have enjoyed midi sequencing and audio editing for years on my PC's but wish now to do this on my iMac.
I note that two of the applications included in Logic Studio (Soundtrack Pro 2 and Compressor 3) are a part of the Final Cut Studio 2 suite of programs that I already have installed on my iMac. How will Logic Studio handle this issue when I run the install of that software, i.e. will it be aware that I already have Soundtrack Pro 2 and Compressor 3 and just have those install options grayed out or will it overwrite my FCS2 installation of those two applications? Are there other issues or conflicts between Aperture or Final Cut Studio 2 applications and Logic Studio that I should know before installing Logic Studio?
Thank you very much in advance for responding, and I look forward to reading this forum from this point onward.
Tom

Thanks again for your prompt responses, blayzay. I look forward to getting and installing Logic Studio. If anyone has any precautions on using it with FCS2 or with Leopard, please add a comment to this thread.

Export and burn - Final Cut Studio to DVD Studio Pro

I think I am doing all the right settings when I try and convert material that was filmed with an HDV camera into a suitable format for burning and playing on a traditional SD DVD recorder. But even with encodings of 720 x 576i PAL, the disc once burned is rejected by my DVD player, although it plays fine on the Macbook Pro I amusing for editing and burning. Am I missing something obvious? I looked for a standard MPEG -2 setting in the Quicktime Conversion window, but couldn't find one. I have the first version of Final Cut studio, which I think is really FCP v.5.1.
Thanks
Nick

It sounds as if you are choosing the HD DVD checkbox in DVD SP.
You shouldn't.

If i buy final cut studio 2 and then get final cut studio 3 upgrade will it be final cut studio 3

ive been looking around to buy final cut studio 3 for weeks now with no success and i think ive found a solution i'm just wondering if it will work by buying final cut studio 2 full and then buying final cut studio 3 upgrade overall will everything be final cut studio 3?

You can still get the FCS3 upgrades from the apple shop
No you can not get FCS upgrades from Apple retail stores or Apple dealers, they have been recalled by Apple.
Only places that will stock is independant retailers and online used software vendors.
Apple have clearly stated that FCS is now ''end of life''

Final Cut studio won't install- "powerpc apps no longer supported"

I'm trying to install my old copy of final cut studio 5.1 and it tells me 'power pc apps are no longer supported', however this is a universal copy of studio 5.1 (intel or powerpc) and it's being installed on an intel machine. Any thoughts?

There are lots of threads on this subject if you do a search, but the answer is that you need to install Rossetta from a Snow Leopard disc to be able to run the installer. Also, I believe you need to update to 5.1.4 before you launch FCP and even then it's not a guarantee that the software will be trouble free under Lion.
