Upgrading Final Cut Academic to 7

Does anyone know if it's possible to upgrade my Final Cut Studio "Academic" to a version that's not Final Cut X? I'd like to upgrade it to 7 if possible..

One of the main things about FCP Academic is that they are "non-upgradable." YOu get them cheap and the tradeoff is that you cannot get the upgrade pricing on future versions.
That being said...sorry to say that FCP 7 is no longer available for sale new.  It's been gone from the shelves for over a year.  A few places sold what they had...and Apple sold a few copies to Enterprise clients up to a few months ago.  But it is gone now.  Gone gone gone.  The only place to get FCP 7 is eBay or Craigslist.  And they don't do upgrade pricing.
What version of FCP Academic do you have?

    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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Upgrade Final Cut Pro HD to Studio on an Intel iMac

    When I transferred Final Cut Pro HD from a G5 to an Intel Core 2, I bought a copy of Final Cut Studio (upgrade) to upgrade the software. Sales told me this would work. However, I get an invalid serial number error when I enter the old serial number (after previously entering the new software's number). I can't find a way to ask Apple about this in the support area. Can anyone give me a lead?

    <Edited by Host>

    The FCP HD isn't an academic version, is it?
    Or a Not For Resale (NFR) version?
    If it isn't either of those issues, call Applecare. The support number is in the documentation you received with the upgrade. Installation issues have free 90 day support.

  • Want to uninstall final cut academic and install final cut 7.. ISSUES!

    HI. I recently purchased the final cut studio upgrade package, but when I tried to install it, it would not allow me to because my version is academic (i was a student and am no longer one). Cut to:
    NOW- I bought an older version of final cut but when I install it, it keeps using my old academic key info, even though I deleted academic from my computer. I deleted it completely (so I thought)... I got an uninstall software and did it that way.
    Anyone able to help here? thanks

    Did you try this?

  • Final Cut Academic Version?

    Im asking for a friend here who just bought Final Cut Studio and as a student got the discount and apparently it is the academic version. He is wondering if there is any difference and to be honest I have no idea. Could someone help me out with any differences between versions?
    Thanks,
    Lil B

    yah but at the same time you are looking at paying half as much and in the short run you end up fairly even because there are still charges (although minimal) for upgrading. However, yes in the long run after many upgrades and buying full academic versions over and over you probably do not come out ahead, but unless you are employed by a school or something of that matter, then as a student (with not as much money and only so many years as a student) you will probably end up even or ahead.

  • 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.
