Upgrading final Cut Pro - recieved as a gift, and designated "Not for Sale"

I've been working in FCP with a version that a friend, in the business, was given as a perk and passed on to me. The FCP that he gave me is marked "Not for Sale". I did register it.
I just upgraded to Tiger and am having problems with dropping frames in capture. After looking at this discussion forum, I conclude that it's necessary to upgrade my FCP. Does anyone know if it Is possible to upgrade a product that was a promo gift, and thus designated, "Not For Sale"?

So it was a promo item, and not an academic version? AKA, it says Not For Sale on the registration screen when FCP opens? Those versions are usually handed out to academic institutions and are so that students or teachers could use a full version without buying it. Unfortunately, the only way for you to upgrade is to buy a whole new full retail version.

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.

Final Cut Pro 6 by Diana Weynard: Format too New FOR THIS VERSION OF APP?

I purchased the book book Final Cut Pro 6 by Diana Weynard and it is a basics book overview of FCP However it comes with CD and I have downloaded the CD to my hard drive and when i open the files in
FINAL CUT PRO 6 it says:
FILES FORMAT IS TOO NEW FOR THIS VERSION OF THE APPLICATION.
I did go to the website and download the updates.
I have upgraded osx to 10.5.5
FCP is at 6.0.4
Quictime Pro 7.55
Whats going on?
I bought this book. And when I try to play the Lessons it says FORMAT TOO NEW FOR THIS VERSION OF APPLICATION?
Are my settings wrong?
I have seen this same thread and now answer. I would appreciate some major help from the top users on here! thanks guys

the projects included with this book were built with and for FCP 6 ... if you do not have FCP 6 then its no good to you.
what version of FCP are you running? with FCP open, choose *Final Cut Pro* menu *> About Final Cut Pro* and see what version it says there in the splash screen

I just updated to new final cut pro x 10.1.1 and i am also on mavericks so but on my editing timeline i was trying to color grade using magic bullet looks but i am having problem with it. when it comes back to tcp x it's black.

I just updated to the new final cut pro x 10.1.1 and i am also on mavericks so but on my editing timeline i was trying to color grade using magic bullet looks but i am having problem with it. When i send a sample to MBL and color grade it , it comes back to final cut pro x all black even after render. By the way on the MBL i am using the GPU rendering, I used before like 4months ago and it was fine. And i don't like to use the CPU because it very slow.

What is the frame rate of the project? At what frame rate was the media recorded? What frame size?
What are the audio settings?
What are the specs of the machine, in particular how much RAM, how is the hard drive connected, etc.?
If possible, post screenshots of the inspector for the project.
It could be related to the audio frequency?

Final Cut Pro 7, Compressor, or Quicktime X do not recognize MobileMe

I'm having issues uploading my movies from Final Cut Pro, Compressor, or Quicktime X to MobileMe. For both FCP and QT X, when I "Share" using MobileMe, it says that either my Username or Password is wrong. I know for a fact it's not because I can use them to login here or on iTunes. It worked before, but now after I did a Pro Application software update, it doesn't let me. I'm not certain that's the direct problem, though. When I try with Compressor, it just tells me it failed uploading.
I tried using both "username" and "[email protected]"
If I use "[email protected]" it says there is some sharing error which I never heard about.
How can I fix this problem, or is anyone else also experiencing this bug?
BTW, every thing else works fine.
Thank you.

Have you tried the full login including "@me.com or @mac.com"? This seems to work as far as FCP or compressor "recognizing" the MobileMe account. Yet when I do it through compressor, even though it says the job is done and all is well it never actually uploads it to MobileMe. It seems to work fine through FCP though.

I just purchased Final Cut Pro from the App Store and it will not download to my computer. I try and install it from my purchases file but nothing happens. Any suggestions?

If it's in the purchased page and doesn't download, you should contact Apple.

After editing in lightroom, i transferred the photo to final cut pro. However the photo that shows in final cut pro is the unedited version and a bit blurry. Any ideas?

IIs there an export function from Lightroom? Did you export? Does the exported file contain your edit?
THe hard drive file size doesn't matter. What matters is the image size, it's dimensions in pixels.
IN FCP press Cmd-J to see the project properties.

You have to choose – one settigf or another.
The thing is.your HD clips will look better in an SD project than your SD clips will in an HD project.
WIthout knowing much more about your project and the kind of content, it's really hard to be specific. But generally I'd let my project settings be guided by what fraction of my timeline will be made up of HD clips and how much SD clips. If it's 75% HD, I'd probably do an HD project…and so on,
Good luck.

Final Cut Pro Studio 5.1.1 and Final Cut Express HD 3.5

Hi,
I have a client with both of these installed on the same machine (running 10.4.6).
When they try and launch either application, the splash screen comes up, loading various filters, etc. then they get an error message:
"File Error: A file of this name already exists" "OK"
Clicking "OK" closes the app.
Any idea:
1. What the file in question is?
2. Can it be deleted to let the app run?
3. Can Final Cut Pro Studio 5.1.1 and Final Cut Express HD 3.5 be used on the same machine?
I'll post this on the Final Cut Express HD 3.5 thread too (but with the order reversed).

What you did was not enough to delete the preferences properly.
This article tells you how. It is for FCE2 but works the same for FCE3 so I assume it is also OK for FCE 3.5:-

It's simple to do so try it before reinstalling etc. - You should completely uninstall before reinstalling:-

HT4589 final cut pro x 10.0.6 and 10.0.7 Bugs with neat video

In Final cut pro x 10.0.6 and 10.0.7 (unlike 10.0.5) have a bug, which produces corrupted frames (incorrect colors,inverted,mirrored,uppside down...etc.) when certain types of plug-ins are used. one of them that i have bye is neat video. If you think of bye final cut pro x, dont bye it!!! Stay away from it because it has TO MUCH BUG!!! What was apple thinking (Sorry they dont think) when they uppgrade from FCPX 10.0.5 to 10.0.6 and then to 10.0.7 without fix the bug???

I did so but it did not change things. I checked fpr disc issues and found error and repaired the disk, but that also did not work. I think my issues is not enough ram, I'm only have 2G ram. Final cut did not do this initially but yet I have sevearl spots or projects now total 6 but thay are all short videos. surely 2G would let you edit sevearl short videos. There is not a full length motion picture on it, but soon will be if I can get the final cut to work properly. I did get rid of a lot of videos butr thern again it maybe because I have my hard drive partitioned due to error in harddrive. but sense I repaired onle the partition that the final cut was on. Perhaps I should repair the other partition yet it only has storage of videos etc. I'm kinda lost unless maybe I get all new hard disc and use an external drive. I see issues aboutr Final cut a lotr on interrnet, what up with that, maybe I need something larger then an Imac with a heck of a lot disc space and RAM RAM RAM. u can reply here or to [email protected]

Will final cut pro X 10.0.8 still be available for purchase after the new final cut pro release for mavericks/new macpro in december?

10.0.8 is no longer available, except in the trial version. The current sale version is 10.0.9. Apple has never sold older versions of their software, only the current version. That's not going to change in the near future.

I am thing of using Final Cut Pro but when I try and download I get the message "Your computer's video card does not meet the minimum system requirements." Can I do anything about this?

It is just as the message says. Your video card is not compatible.
You can add a compatible graphics card and use FCP X with your mac. I can't suggest which one, but maybe other people on this forum can guide.
And you may also get good suggestions in the Mac Pro forum.
