Updating from fcpx 10.1.1 to 10.1.3 says "Do you want to buy Final Cut Pro 10.1.3?"

okay I want to update from version 10.1.1 to the latest version 10.1.3. In app store its even there in purchases. But when I go to final cut pro app and click 'Install' it says "Final Cut Pro 10.1.1 is already installed and was not purchased from the Mac App Store.   Do you want to buy Final Cut Pro 10.1.3?". what does this mean? if the update is free why are they saying I have to buy it. :/

IIf you are signed in to the App Store with the Apple ID used to purchase the software, you would need to contact the App Store.

  • Bought a hard copy of Final Cut Pro 7 a few years ago, now I want to update it to the new FCP without having to repurchase it.

    Originally, I bought Final Cut Pro 7 as a hard copy (at the apple store, not app store). Now, since there have been many new updates to the software (Final Cut Pro X, and so on) - I made an attempt to download the updates from the app store; but it doesn't seem to realize that I already have Final Cut Pro installed, and it's trying to make me repurchase it (I'm not in the mood to spend another $300). I'm aware that people who purchased Final Cut Pro on the app store are able to receive updates for free - so why can't I?
    Thanks.

    FCPX is a from the ground new app, sharing just the name of legacy FC/p.
    no upgrade path avail. But worth every penny
    download the 30d free trial first! It's a very different app compsred to what you are use to.

  • How to send a project from Final Cut Pro X, to adobe Audition

    Anyone familiar with exporting a project or just audio from FCPX to Adobe Audition?

    Thanx for your reaction. I want to edit Final Cut soundtracks in Adobe Audition and import them back again in FCPX.
    I found out a good workaround.
    First export the project as roles in separate files.
    You can import these files in Audition; edit them etc.
    Simple as that and no extra costs.

  • QT 7.1.5 can't play QT movie from Final Cut Pro 5.1.4?!

    I am editing a film in Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 on a PowerBook running 10.4.9.
    But when I moved a QT movie from FCP's "capture scratch" onto my Core 2 Duo MacBook, QT only showed me a white screen and asked me to search for third-party updates/plugins.
    To make things even stranger, I loaded the file into my MacBook's Final Cut Pro 5.0 and it runs in there flawlessly!
    Since this file is a pure FCP Quicktime video, in HD (Codec: HDV 1080i50, Integer (Big Indian), Timecode), I am very surprised that Quicktime won't play it - and that FCP will...
    Is this perhaps due to the fact that my MacBook doesn't have the Universal binary FCP 5.1.4 installed?
    I'd appreciate any help I can get.
    Thanks!

    Great! Thks David..I have not come up against this prob yet,but as I am progressing along a long edit,no doubt,I will..Your tip is extremely helpful.Thanks again from Australia.

  • My final cut pro will not update on my iMac, it will update on my Macbook.

    my final cut pro will not update on my iMac, it will update on my Macbook. I have OS X Yosemite on both systems, my macbook has final cut pro x version 10.1.4 and my iMac shows no updates available and is on version  10.1.1. I have tried looking in iTunes for the same update that is installed on my macbook under the same iTunes account, but it doesn't show any updates. I tried deleting from my iMac and it won't delete so I can reinstall it. any suggestions?

    You need to be logged into the Mac App Store with the same Apple ID in order to see your updates. You speak about iTunes: maybe you meant that just as an expression to refer to your Apple ID, but just in case you didn't: you do NOT use iTunes to download mac software. You use the App Store application, available under the Apple menu.

  • Can't Update Old Final Cut Pro Projects

    I use Final Cut Pro for work and just recently updated. I didn't realize that I needed to have all my projects in my "Final Cut Pro Projects" file while updating. I had a lot of my projects in a "Final Cut Pro Projects-Not In Use" file when I updated my Final Cut Pro and now those projects will not update. I didn't have a "Final Cut Pro Projects" file after updating so I created a new one under "Movies" in my Finder and added all the projects to that and Final Cut Pro still won't update them. What am I doing wrong?
    Also, now that I've updated the projects are exporting as .MP4s and my boss wants them as .MOVs again. Is there a way I can change them to that?

    I have been trying to add a screen shot to this reply for the past ten minutes but I keep getting "An error occurred while trying to submit your post. Please try again" So I will try to explain it to you.
    I click the arow on the bottom right hand corner. Then click "Master File..."
    My settings are:
    Format: Computer
    Video codec: H.264 Better Quality
    Resolution: 1920 x 1080
    Audio file format: QuickTime Movie (AAC)
    (don't click Include chapter markers)
    Open with: QuicTime Player (default)
    On the bottom it reads left to right:
    1920 x 1080 | 23.98 fbs   Stereo (L R) | 48 kHz  00:00:04:02   MPEG-4 movie 10.4 MB est.
    Then I click "Next..." and save it to my Desktop and click "Save"
    I hope that makes sence! Sorry the screen shots didn't work!

  • Transfer Final Cut Pro X to new desktop from laptop

    I just purchased a new iMac desktop and want to transfer Final Cut Pro X from my macbook pro to my new computer. I know the license allows for me to use the software on both my laptob and my desktop, but am unsure on how to actually implement this. I downloaded the software dirctly form the apple store online, thus do not have installation cds. Help please!

    Simply copy it across  .  .  .  .  that's all.
    You can use a hard drive, a memory stick or if they are both on a network you can send it that way.

  • Should I be concerned with losing existing data (projects or events) when updating from FCPX to FCPX 10.1?)

    I purchased a Macbook Pro loaded with FCPX from a private party. I now want to update from FCPX to FCPX 10.1 should I be concered about losing my exhisting projects and events? The previous version of FCPX is registered to another person and wondered if this could potentially overwrite anything. I backed everything up to another drive but, just wondered if anyone has done this sucessfully?

    The project files are put where FCP X wants to put them. If you render anything, it puts the rendering where it wants to put it.
    FCP X has three opportunities to lose something - it can't find your project, it can't find the event, the event can't find the media. We see it on this forum all the time and right now 10.1 is managing all that and screwing it up for some people. We see FCP X updating events and projects...
    With Motion 5, I put my project file where I want - in a folder for that project. In that same folder, I have all my media. It's not necessary to have a feature where it moves my files for me to another drive, etc. I simply drag that folder anywhere I want and all the links are in tact because the links are relative.
    With FCP X, even if I don't copy the media to the events folder and leave it where I want, it still creates a folder with its own hierarchy - Backups, Old Versions, Original Media, Render Files, Transcoded Media...
    FCP X's method opens people up to more problems, obviously. You don't see people on the Motion forum talking about how Motion moved media or put it in the trash etc. The only thing that can happen is the small XML project file can't find the media and so you simply relink and you can use Spotlight for that.
    Seems like there are more headaches with FCP X's method.

  • Why doesn't Final Cut Pro X update songs from Garageband?

    While working on a short film in Final Cut Pro X, I worked up a simple sound track in Garageband. I imported the Garageband project, aligned it, and discovered that I'd mistimed one of the sound transitions.
    So, I went back to Garageband and updated the transition, moving the sound effect to the right spot to match up to the video, and then went back to FCPX. I dragged the Garageband project onto the original copy that I'd imported, and selected "replace" and ended up with... the original. After some experimenting, I actually went and deleted an entire track from the Garageband project and reloaded it in FCPX... still no change. How can I fix this?

    Here's an update...
    I made some changes to the Garageband track and saved it as another project... Final Cut refused to even detect it until I restarted Final Cut.
    I have a sound effect that's placed at 1:32 in Garageband, and it ALWAYS plays at 1:31 in Final Cut, no matter how shift it around in Garageband. After changing the song in Garageband and sharing it to disk, I verified that the sound effect is happening at 1:32 by playing it back in Quicktime, so it must be Final Cut that's misbehaving.

  • I am trying out Final Cut Pro X and trying desperately to import a project from iMovie 11 (version 9.0.9). There is no export to FCPX in iMovie 11 nor is there import from iMovie in FCPX.

    Can someone please help me?
    I am trying out Final Cut Pro X on a 30 day trial. So far so good.
    I am now trying desperately to import a project from iMovie 11 (version 9.0.9) into FCPX.
    I have read multiple posts on this subject and they all recommend File/import/ from iMovie project in FCPX
    However there is NO such option under File/import in FCPX - nor is there an option to export to FCPX in iMovie 11
    Can anyone please enlighten me.

    The current version of FCPX does not work with that version of iMovie. You need version 10.0.3, which allows you to send a project to FCP.

  • I purchased final cut pro X from app store, but it doesnt allow me to update to latest version...

    I purchased Final cut pro X from app store, but when I try to upgrade the software I get a message saying that it was not purchased thru app store. Can anybody help me please?

    Hi Pablo..
    Make sure you are using the same Apple ID and password you used to originally purchase Final Cut X.
    If you are running Lion v10.7 as your profile suggests, installing the OS X Lion Update 10.7.3 (Client Combo) will reinstall the App Store for you which may help.
    Restart your Mac after the combo is installed and try to update the software.

  • Mac App store and Final Cut Pro X can a single Apple account purchase 3 separate copies of Final Cut X? Also how do we allow our editors to update FCPX, but not have access to the credit card?

    I work for a medium sized compand 400+ people. We have a 3 person video crew. How does our company start an Apple account that will allow us to purchase three separate copies of Final Cut Pro X, but not allow us access Credit Card info, but still allows us to update purchased software? Surely Apple cators to small businesses needing multiple lisences. I appreciate any feedback, thanks!

    I would assume that since your company has a video department, it probably also has an IT department.   Have them set up the needed account(s) and download from the App Store for you.
    You should also contact Apple about a mulit-seat licensing arrangement, but those usually involve 25 seats or more.
    Apple doesn't really cater to small businesses ... or any business group in particular.  They primarily cater to the consumer market.

  • I have recently update my Final Cut Pro X to Final Cut Pro X 10.1. I downloaded the update from the app store. Now every time I open Final Cut it crashes almost instantly. What can I do

    I have recently update my Final Cut Pro X to Final Cut Pro X 10.1. I downloaded the update from the app store. Now every time I open Final Cut it crashes almost instantly. What can I do?- I really need help!

    It sounds as though you have a corrupt project - or possibly a file within an event that is causing the application to crash.
    Quit FCP X, then move your projects and events (if you have any) to new folders so that FCP X doesn't find them, then relaunch the application. If it launches OK, there's a very good chance one of your projects or events is causing the problem.
    Quit the app again, then move one event or project at a time back to the original folder and launch FCP X again - keep going until you find the cause.
