Upgrading Final Cut 5 to 5.1.2: why won't my serial # work?

I have the original academic version of Final Cut Pro 5 but now need to upgrade to 5.1.2 to make my files compatible with my editor. On the upgrade Final Cut web page, it asks for your serial number. I have tried entering it multiple times and it is not being accepted.
Any one have any thoughts? I tried it first with all the dashes (using capital letters as listed in my serial number sticker) and when that wasn't working, I tried it without.
Thank you!!
-Leigh

5.0 does not upgrade to 5.1.2. You need the universal binary version (aka 5.1) to upgrade to 5.1.2.
It appears the Academic version of 5.0 will upgrade but there is a fee involved. Still, it is one of the great bargains of the world.
It can be checked out here:

good luck.

  • I have not upgraded my Final Cut Pro in a while. Is it not possible to upgrade Final Cut Studio anymore? Do you have to buy the software seperate?

    Is it not possible to upgrade Final Cut Studio as a whole? Do you have to now buy the software separately?

    It is still possible to upgrade some versions of FCP, especially the Studios, As always, the upgrades apply to base versions that needed to be purchased. The latest version of Final Cut Studio is no longer for sale from Apple but it doesn't run on a PowerMac anyway. The only Final Cut Pro product currently for sale is Final Cut Pro X, which requires an Intel Mac.

  • Can u upgrade Final Cut studio product key from a G-5 platform to a new intel processor?

    Can u upgrade Final Cut studio product key from a G-5 platform to a new intel processor?

    Not sure here ... you want to upgrade Final Cut Studio or do you want to move the version you have to an Intel Mac? Both is possible if you meet the system requirments.
    1. Upgrade FCS
    The Final Cut Studio upgrade provides an upgrade path from Final Cut Studio 2, Final Cut Studio 1, Production Suite, or any prior version of Final Cut Pro. Academic and Not-For-Resale (NFR) versions are not eligible for upgrade.
    2. Upgrade to Intel Mac
    You may run the applications on one desktop and one laptop at the same time

  • Is it possible to upgrade Final Cut Express 4.0 to 4.0.1?

    Someone who was told to purchase Final Cut Express 4.0.1 instead bought Final Cut 4.0. I know Final Cut Pro X has washed away the old Final Cut world - but is it still possible to upgrade FCE 4.0 to 4.0.1?
    Douglas

    The only way to upgrade Final Cut Express 4.0 to 4.0.1. is by clicking on 'Software Update' under the 'Apple' icon in the upper left corner of your Mac - you cannot buy or find the update online. If you have Final Cut 4.0 on your Mac, Software Update will pull up the 4.0.1 update (along with any other updates you've missed) and then you can install it and update FCE.
    It took me three tries to get Software Update to correctly install the FCE 4.0.1 update - once I did, the problems I was having with my Canon AVCHD camera disappeared. Good luck.

  • How do I Upgrade Final Cut Pro from 10.0.6?

    Do I upgrade Final Cut Pro 10.0.6 from iTunes or though the App Store?  Or both?  It will not work now that Yosemite 10.10.1 is installed.
    Thanks.
    -Mike.

    BTW:
    There are MAJOR changes using the newer version.
    Do some research before proceeding.
    See here for an overview:
    FCP X Library Updating
    The tutorial speaks about Mavericks but Yosemite has the same rules.

  • I am new to Final Cut Express and don't understand why I am unable to drag transitions into Canvas? Something wrong in my setup? It's not the overlays they are "on" so can anyone advise me please?

    I am new to Final Cut Express and don't understand why I am unable to drag transitions into Canvas? Something wrong in my setup? It's not the overlays they are "on" so can anyone advise me please, by the way the "L" doesn't appear in the bottom left hand corner either? and by the way how can I get rid of that irritating Blue badge saying "AutoFill your contact details" all mine are in "address book" already!

    You can't drag a transition into the canvas. If you're dragginmg a transition from the effects tab you drag it between the edit point of two clips in the timeline.
    Make sure show edit overlays is turned on in the Canvas view popup.

    Is your iMac still really on OS X 10.2 Jaguar?
    Could you supply more accurate info about your Mac.
    What Mac do you have?
    To find out info about your system,
    Click on the Apple symbol in the upper left of the OS X main menu bar. A drop down menu appears.
    Click About this Mac. A smaller popup window appears. This gives you basic info like what version of OS X your iMac is running, the speed of your iMac's CPU and how much RAM is installed.
    Click on the button that says More Info.
    A larger window appears giving you a complete overview of your iMac's hardware specs.
    Highlight all of this info and copy/paste all of this into another reply to this post, editing out your iMac's serial number before actually posting the reply.

  • Burning a DVD with Final Cut Pro 10 stops at 95%, why ?

    Burning a DVD with Final Cut Pro X stops at 95%, why ?

    Stops completely? Mine stopped at 95% for quite a few minutes then finished.  This is usually the time in the process where the lead out is being burned and it will not show progress for some time.  If it is taking more than 10 to 15 minutes from that point you may have another problem.

  • Upgrade Final Cut Express 2

    Can I upgrade from Final Cut Express 2 to Final Cut Pro Production Bundle?

    ....but you CAN upgrade, very cheaply, to FCE 3.5 which also contains LiveType and Soundtrack.
    The extra goodies there should keep you contented for quite a while.

  • How to upgrade Final Cut 7.0 to 7.03 from the installation dvds?

    I have installed FCP 7.0 but cannot upgrade it even if I go in the Apple menu and click on Software updates, FCP does not appear. I have done it many times but this time, no way, someone can help me? thanks
    This is 10 min later :
    Sorry, actually I succeeded so don't bother replying !!!

    Have you altered the default name?
    If you have, SU will not see it.
    It must be called exactly  Final Cut Pro
    Make sure there is no space at the end of the name.
