  • I can't get Final Cut back on my Macbook Pro

    When I first installed Final Cut Studio on my Macbook Pro back in 2007, I manually removed the apps I didn't use that often to save space b/c my hard drive was almost full. I eventually removed all the apps from Studio, dragging them all to the trash can. Also deleted their folders in Library -> App Support to make room on the hard drive.
    But now when I try reinstall these apps from the installation discs, Final Cut and others (like Soundtrack, Motion, etc.) are grayed out on the list, so I can't install them.
    Did I go about deleting them in an incorrect manner that is now preventing me from adding them back?

    You're wasting time because you have chosen to without provision. The first act performed upon receiving Final Cut installation disks is to create disk images of the application disks. Not only for backup but for time saving. Then if/when the time comes that you have to re-install the application you simply mount the disk images and perform the installation from them. This saves you the time of having to manually be there to swap through the DVD installation disks and the application is installed much faster because the installation is being read from your HD vs. the DVD's. Not to mention the time it takes to create the disk images in the first place mind you. Just do that during your off time. Create one when you wake up, one during your morning bike ride, one during your lunch hour, one during your evening bike ride, one during dinner, one while you're watching Survivor, and one before bed. Then boom - the next time you come into trouble and have to re-install everything from OS up you're optimized for a quick turnaround on your FCS re-installation. I do this for Macs in the classroom that need to be wiped clean for new lessons.
    It takes about 15 mins. to install Snow Leopard on a blank HD and about and hour and a half to install FCS3 from the DVD's. Hardly a day or two. You can cut the FCS3 installation down to about 15 mins. if the application is saved to disk images on a mounted hard drive. So within 30 mins. you'll have a fresh OS and FCS installation using the method described.

  • Which model of memory upgrade should I get for my MacBook Pro early 2011 model? I now have 2 - 2GB modules.

    Which model of memory upgrade should I get for my MacBook Pro early 2011 model? I now have 2 - 2GB modules.

    Installing RAM in a 2011-2012 MacBook Pro
    There is really only one way to install RAM into a 2011-2012 MacBook Pro and while there are hundreds of DIY videos online, I just like this one, found on YouTube, by “macmixing”.
    Note that there is a difference in the RAM that should be used in 2011 and 2012 models.
    2011 models must use:
    •204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
    And 2012 models must use:
    •204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
    So here's the video:
    Remember that the 13", 15" and 17" 2011 models (early or late) and the 13" and 15" mid-2012 non-Retina models can handle 4GB, 8GB or (unofficially, but, believe me, it works) 16GB of RAM. There are, in my opinion, only two 100% Mac-compatible vendors out there: Crucial and OWC. I really can't recommend any other brands, even though it may work, as these are the only brands that I've personally used in quite a while. Also remember to stay away from any RAM that is a “value” brand - Macs are picky about RAM and often these value RAM modules just don’t work very well.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Final Cut express upgrade for intel macbook pro

    I need help i used to have a G5 desktop and got DVD Studio Pro 3 and then i got Final Cut pro 4 with Upgrade, i try to install this software to the intel Macbook Pro wich i have 2 gig of memory, but if I install DVD Studio Pro 3 and Final Cut pro 4 it will run too slow and there is also the error pf agp graphic card missing i know that if you hit esc will run but it is to slow my hp 2.0ghz is faster i need help on which is the best upgrade for the intel mac so i don't have to purchase the software again i saw on www.apple.com/universal/crossgrade there are some option i call apple and they told me to buy the Final Cut Pro 4 or HD (4.5)for $199.00 but i want to make sure this is what i need to do! help

    Yes you need to crossgrade to 5.1
    The offer only lasts until the end of December and after that it'll probably go back up to $699.
    Also I wanted to point out that you're in the Final Cut Express forum asking about Final Cut Pro. Not a huge deal but in the future you might get better results asking Final Cut Pro related questions in the Final Cut Pro forum.
    i know that if you hit esc will run but it is to slow my hp 2.0ghz is faster
    Your HP runs Final Cut Pro and DVD Studio Pro faster?!? Huh...Bwa?!?
    By this I assume you mean your HP runs comparative programs faster (Avid)

  • Internal HD upgrade or external HD for my Macbook Pro (Late 2008)

    Hello,
    I am finding the 250gb internal hard drive not enough and want to upgrade to a 500gb/1tb hard drive for my macbook pro (late 2008 edition).
    What I am wondering is whether to change the internal hard drive OR buy the fastest possible external hard drive for my mac which I believe is one that works with firewire 800 as my late 2008 macbook pro does not come with USB 3.0.
    The external hard drive I have found is £110 and my macbook would be using the Firewire 800 connection:
    LaCie Rugged Triple 301984 1TB USB 3.0 and Firewire 800 5400 rpm Portable Hard Disk Drive
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rugged-Triple-301984-Firewire-Portable/dp/B005C2BNJI
    I dont necessarily need the portability of a external hard drive. I work with large files (photoshop, illustrator files mainly) and would would be concerned that I would not be able to work directly on the hard drive for this type of work so an internal hard drive may be better/
    Can anyone suggest a good, fast, cheap, popular internal hard drive compatible with my computer and whether you would suggest changing the internal HD or buying an external.
    I am running Mavericks and the only other change I have made is by upgrading my RAM from 4gb to 8gb. Thanks so much for your help

    For both convenience and speed, I'd recommend replacing the internal hard drive.  Your MacBook Pro can handle nearly any internal SATA 2.5" HD on the market, including 7200rpm models. For what it's worth, I'd recommend a Western Digital Black WD7500BPKX or similar or Hitachi HGST 7K1000 although in my experience Hitachi drives run hot and that's the reason I don't use them as internal drives.
    FW800 is fine, but then you have an external hard drive to lug around plus the connection is considerably slower than the internal SATA connection used by the internal hard drive.
    Note that you will have to either 1) clone your existing drive to the new drive or 2) completely reinstall OSX and all your apps from scratch to the new drive when you replace the internal drive.   If it were me, I'd take the opportunity to reinstall everything from scratch.
    btw, I have done this myself on a number of 2008/2009 MacBook Pros and it's not hard at all.  iFixit has tutorials on how to do this.  (Here is a link to the one that I believe is your model.

  • Final cut studio 2 and macbook pro 17?

    I'm anxious to purchase Final Cut Studio 2, and a new MacBook Pro 17" laptop. Is FCS2 and this laptop 100% compatible? Will I be able to install and run FCS2 on this laptop successfully?
    Laptop specs:
    MacBook Pro 17" Notebook 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 3 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, TI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics processor, dual -ink DVI support, 256MB of GDDR3 SDRAM, external 500G hard drive for video storage (firewire 800).
    MacBook Pro 17"   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Well those that have tried running FCS 2 on a 17" laptop can't talk. It's not released yet...
    However there is no reason why it shouldn't work well. Add an Io HD to the mix, and you'll edit HD on it all day long... we were showing this in the AJA booth at NAB a couple of weeks ago. Apple was running it too on laptops in their booth...
    Figure it should be fine. With the advent of Pro Res, there's little you couldn't edit on a MBP... however there are some things you'll not be editing with it, such as 2 k files, or uncompressed HD. Pro res takes care of that though. It's really visually lossless.

  • What upgrades should I get for my MacBook pro for video editing?, What upgrades should I get for my MacBook pro for video editing?

    Hi,
    i am a student and I will use my MacBook pro to edit my movies, I will go to a film school and I think the preview of my previous works has to be professionally done. But I don't know what upgrades should I get to make the editing smooth, and have enough storage.

    as an hobbyist on a shoestring budget, but with the head in the sky, based on my own experience:
    8GB Ram is ok, 16GB is nice
    most important, aside 'skills': …
    <voice of Steve Balmer> ext HDD, ext HDD, ext HDD, ext HDD!!!
    I'm handling here 4k material on a MacMini, which doesn't even have a dedicated GPU. In Multicam.
    Distribute your materials on several hard drives, make a plan first, before editing, what & where, you get instantly messy and lost without a plan.
    What mentioned before: back ups! I'm not shy using a 99€ Raid0 (=two 2.5" drives + Disk Utility's feature, to create 'software raids' ) - Raid0 are NoGo for pros, 'cause it doubles the chance to 'crash' - no prob for me, having my backups - inconvenient to reload everything - but I'm no News Room
    For professional 'look' care for the other stuff :
    tripod with 'fluid head', lights, more lights, ND filters set, ext. microphone(s) at last a shotgun and a lav, ext audio recorder (I'm abusing my ol' iPhone4 and a tiny box called iRig, which offer XLR connector), did I mention lights? , a good bag and a waterproof, lockable aluminium box, soft boxes for light, maybe a shoulder rig (starting at 80€), 200sq ft of some green cloth for green screening (if your school doesn't offer a 'studio') FCPX does marvel with even really bad lighted green screens, those handy foldable 'brighteners'/reflectors, to bounce light ('Rembrandt lightning') … finally tons of odds and ends, starting with gaffer tape, ending with SDcards ...
    And DO things, try things, play with your stuff, make experiments just for the trash bin!
    Enjoy your film school (I'm envy… )

  • Final Cut on 2.66 Macbook Pro?

    Hey everybody, last year I purchased a 2.66 GHz unibody Macbook pro, and I want to start doing my video editing on it since I already use it for everything else. I have used Sony Vegas on a pc until now, and find it to be a pretty decent editor, but I would really rather be able to do it all on my laptop and with Final Cut Pro.
    So my question is this, will Final Cut run smoothly on this computer? I tried the demo of adobe premier a few months ago, and HD footage from my HV-20 was really choppy to edit with, and not at all smooth looking in the preview window. From what I've heard Final Cut should run much smoother, but I was hoping someone on here might be able to tell me for sure on if this will work well, Vegas will run a really smooth preview even with hd footage and without any pre-rendering.
    Oh, and here is the full specs for the laptop.
    2.66 Ghz
    4gb DDR3
    NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256MB + NVIDIA GeForce 9600M 256 MB
    Also, does final cut require you to render your footage before you can edit it with a real time preview?
    Thanks for any help, and to be clear, I understand that it will technically run on this computer, based on system requirements, I'm just wondering if it will run well.

    Welcome to the Boards
    You can get it running well, and you should use another Codec (i.e., make the footage Pro Res) Alot of it depends on configurations and what you are doing with the footage. The more things you add (corrections etc.) it can slow things down - some things can be real time, some may not.
    A high end tower configured properly (even an older tower) will often perform better than a newer laptop.
    In other words, it may or may not be better depending on set up and other factors. That being said, I have done alot of editing on my laptops and it has been fine, but for some things it is not the same as a tower, PC or otherwise. Also my laptops spec out less than the one you have, other than having an express slot to hook up eSata dribes. (You want to have footage on drives other than your laptop drive for better performance.)

  • Will Final Cut express work with MacBook Pro??

    I am new to Mac and got my first Mac, MacBook pro. 2.4GHZ - 2.o Gig Memory.
    Will this be enough or is there an hardware requirement that macbook pro does not come with?
    iMovie 08 does not have the effects I was using in the old PC. Slow motion, combining many audio tracks, cross fade etc.
    Thanks

    Final Cut Pro is the same program (to all intents and purposes) as Final Cut Express and requires the same power of computer - no more, no less.
    For most people, FCP will not do anything that FCE can't - apart from allowing you to use formats such as DVCPRO etc. that amateurs are unlikely to use. All the filters and transitions are exactly the same except for a couple of insignificant ones.
    The only reason for buying FCP is in order to get all the other programs that are bundled with it.

  • What specs/ upgrades should I get for a Macbook pro that I'm buying?

    I don't want to spend a ton of money but enough that the macbok pro will be really fast.
    I browse the web a lot
    I watch youtube and netflix on it
    I will need it to do college assignments
    I will need to do basic video and picture editing

    I think either of the 13" MacBook Pro models would do, with RAM upgraded to 8Gb. That would put you at $1399 for the 2.4GHz, $1699 for the 2.8GHz.
    You could save some money by getting a stock MacBook and upgrading the memory via the various third-party RAM vendors. They'll charge a lot less - OWC has an 8Gb upgrade kit for less than $50, vs Apple's $200, and you might even get a rebate for sending your old RAM to them.
    Other people may have different opinions, but that's mine. Good luck with your new Mac.

  • Problem installing Final Cut Studio 2 on MacBook Pro

    I'm trying to install Final Cut Studio 2 on a MacBook Pro / Snow Leopard but when it comes to choosing install options Final Cut Pro is greyed out and just says skip.
    I've done some research and found people with the same problem but none of the fixes I've seen have worked. I also have Logic Pro installed - which I installed first - which seems to be causing the problem. I've tried removing Logic but am still seeing the same problem.
    Besides a clean install does anyone have any suggestions?

    Read this article on how to install final cut pro after logic studio.

  • Final Cut Express for intel

    Help! Purchased Final Cut Express only last week , installed on May 17th only to find it does not run on intel machines...should have read the specs. News that 3.5 is released on May 18th...if only I had waited a few days. Phoned Apple and was told that I could download an upgrade, where is it???
    imac intel Mac OS X (10.4.6)

    As I mentioned in the other thread, if there is in fact a free update then it will appear in Software Update.
    Although, I doubt that this would be the case given the jump from version 3 to version 3.5. if it went to 3.1 then sure, but the version jump is too big for me to think it were free.
