Upgrading From Final Cut Pro 5 to 6 - can you use full install disk?

Hi,
I have one MacBook Pro running Final Cut 6 (with Final Cut Studio 2), and another one running Final Cut Pro 5 (with Final Cut Studio). We're looking to upgrade the second one to Final Cut Studio 2.
Does anyone know if the upgrade can be done with the disks from the full install box of Studio 2, using the product key from an upgrade? We happen to be in the middle of East Africa at the moment, so shipping is an issue...
Thanks

You CAN install Final Cut Studio with only the upgrade disk set BUT you will need the product key for BOTH the Final Cut Studio 2 AND the previous version.
After you insert the Final Cut Studio 2 upgrade installation disk you will first be asked to input the product key for the upgrade version and then after you will be requested for the product key of the previous version.
After this, the installation process does NOT require any disks from the previous version of Final Cut Studio.

  • How can I upgrade from Final Cut Pro X 10.0.4  to 10.0.7

    I need to upgrade from Final Cut Pro X 10.0.4 to 10.0.7 but can not find how to do this. Can anybody help?
    Thanks.

         You might do some web searching on "FCPx  torrent ".  I would think that if you have a legitimate copy of FCPx there would be no legal/moral issue with pulling down a 10.0.7 version via bittorrent, but I'm not a lawyer. And of course there are other issues relating to such software but as Tom implies, you can't get an older version from Apple so you'll have to find somebody, somewhere with a 10.0.7 copy that you can install.

  • Can you upgrade from Final Cut Pro 3 to Final Cut Pro Sudio 2 with upgrade?

    Does anyone know if you can upgrade from Final Cut Pro 3 to Final Cut Pro Sudio 2 with $699 upgrade?
    I purchased Final Cut Pro 2 years back and then purchased the Final Cut Pro 3 upgrade. I have not used it in years, but now I want to upgrade to Final Cut Studio 2. Is this possible by just purchasing the upgrade?

    Apple's web page has the requirements:
    http://store.apple.com/AppleStore/WebObjects/BizCustom?qprm=78313&productLearnMo re=MA886Z/A
    The $699.00 upgrade version requires a valid serial number from a commercial version of Final Cut Studio, Production Suite, or Final Cut Pro 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. Academic and not-for-resale versions are not eligible for this upgrade.

  • All of my titles, themes and generators seem to be completely missing from Final cut pro x. Do you know how to get them back?

    All of my titles, themes and generators seem to be completely missing from Final cut pro x. Do you know how to get them back?

    Do you mean that when you click the title browser, for example, nothing is there?
    Do you at least see several categories listed in the effects browser?
    First make sure that you have nothing typed into the search box (not even spaces).
    If you still see nothing, try this in order:
    1) Window->Revert to Original Layout
    2) Quit FCP X, delete preferences using Preference Manager (a free download from Digital Rebellion)
    3) Download FCS Remover, and use it to completely remove FCP X. This will NOT delete your content, just the application.
    4) Reinstall FCP X from the Mac App Store: log in with the same Apple ID that you used to buy FCP X, click on "Purchases", locate FCP X and click Install.

  • Can I upgrade from Final Cut Pro 6 to Final Cut Pro X?

    HI,
    I am trying to budget up expenses to upgrade both of these machines. Unfortunately, I sense that I have to scrap my G-5 Pre-Intel
    tower for one that is Intel, and can go through the Lion phase, as will my Macbook Pro laptop.   I have been pretty skimpy by only
    upgrading Photoshop (CS 4) and Final Cut Pro (6.06; though I have the entire suite from 2007), and may have to continue doing so unless I can
    imagine buying the entire Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft Office, and the entire FCP suite as well. I know that I can upgrade on the Photoshop from 4-6 but I am not finding anything that tells me that I can upgrade FCP from 6-X. 
    Any comments?

    There is no upgrade from FCP6/7 to X.  You have to either stay with 7 or buy X for $299.  Either way, an upgrade woud cost the same.
    Trust me, X is well worth it and I dont miss 7 one bit.

    1. Turn off caps lock on your keyboard.
    2. Use Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper to clone your internal hard drive.
    3. Use the Installation disks that came wiith your computer to Erase and Install Mac OS X on your internal hard drive. Use Software Update to get your copy of Mac OS to the latest version.
    4. Repair Permissions.
    5. Install Final Cut Studio. Use Software Update to get your copy of Final Cut Studio to the latest version.
    6. Repair Permissions.
    7. Use the cloned hard drive to restore the contents of your Home folder -do not copy the contents of your Library folder, only the folder "Mail" should be copied from there to your new Home/Library folder.

  • Upgrade from Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 ??

    I bought my PB used about 3 years ago. It came with a lot of application some I still haven't used. I noticed that I also have Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 . Is there an upgrade to this software and if so which one? I saw a lot of different kinds. Since Im a noob to the software is there any books or websites that can help me to start using this program? Thanks

    Pop the FCS 2 install disk in your drive. When you run the installer it will ask for the FCS 2 serial #. This is the number on the front of the document "Installing Your Software"
    It will then prompt that the serial is an upgrade #. Enter the serial of your full version -in this case, the number that came with FCP 4.5 HD.
    Install the FCS suite and enjoy.
    Apple Discussions tip: I think it is fantastic that you have used the search function of AD to find a related issue. Kudos.
    But... If you tag your question onto the end of an older discussion, it will receive less attention.
    Particularly if the discussion has already been marked as solved. In this case, please feel free to use the "Post New Topic" button at the top left of the main FCP page.

  • Is it possible to Upgrade FROM Final Cut Pro 2 TO Final Cut Express 3 HD?

    I have FC Pro 2 on a crashed-harddrive MacPro...
    Can I use that serial number and upgrade to  FCExpress 3 HD?
    Or can you only upgrade Pro to Pro and Express to Express?

    Hi
    I doubt - as FC Express is one line and FC Pro/Studio is another.
    It has not worked for me - so I've got up-grade to FinalCut Express 4 and FinalCut Studio 2 - non of them or previous version was able to upgrade to the other.

  • Why does Compressor take so long to export a 10 minute video clip from Final Cut Pro?

    I've been trying export a 10 minute clip from Final Cut Pro. so it can be used with DVD Studio Pro and burned. However, the rendering process has taken 12 hours! The clip I'm exporting has minimal effects, no music, and is in 1080i 30fps. Does anyone know what's going on or what I can do to speed up the process?

    First: How are you exporting? Are you using the Share feature or  Send to Compressor?
    Second: You haven't said anything about your system configuration or really very much about your movie. What is its format… is it really 30fps or 29.97? Whatever it is, are the project settings identical to the clip properties, or were they changed?

  • Burning a video from Final Cut Pro using iDVD

    When I export and save my video from Final Cut Pro to a folder (export->Using Quick Time Conversion). When I do that there are several different videos that are saved in my folder (ie-Kelly Michelle; Kelly Michelle-av1; Kelly Michelle-av2; Kelly Michelle-av3; Kelly Michelle-av4; Kelly Michelle-av5).
    iDVD is the program I need to use, I do not have any other programs. Therefore, I import the file to iDVD and once everything is ready in iDVD I try to burn the dvd. However, in the last stages of burning a window pops up and says that "an error was found during the burning process". It does not tell me what kind of an error it is. Does anyone have any advice or a step by step process that I need to do in order to burn my dvd successfully.

    The simplest way to prepare a video for iDVD is to *Export/Quicktime Movie* (NOT Using Quicktime Conversion), select Current Settings, Audio and Video and, depending on your needs, other 2 options:
    o- +Make Movie Self-Contained+ is preferred to have an independent movie (you can move the exported file, you can continue editing your FCP project before burning the exported version, etc.) but requires more disk space and more time for exporting.
    o- +Chapter Markers+ (NOT All Chapters) must be selected if you created Chapter Markers in FCP (markers in the timeline, not the clip, and clicked the Add Chapter Marker button in the marker dialog).
    The resulting .mov file (whether self-contained or reference) may be easily imported to iDVD.

  • Can files be exported from Final Cut Pro X trial?

    Can files be exported from Final Cut Pro X trial?

    It doesn't seem to work on mine, when I go to command: the export button is in grey, whereas all the others (import; customize) are black and can be actionned. Is this a restriction in the trial version or is there a way to activate export?
    Thanks

  • Can I mute all audio from Final Cut Pro X?

    Can I mute all audio from Final Cut Pro X so that I can listen to music while I do sorting, keywording, favoriting, etc? I'm doing a video where all the camera audio won't be used anyways, so I don't need to hear it in FCPX.. I'd rather just listen to my music instead. Thanks.

    For clips in the timeline, andynick's suggestion works fine - temporarily disable the audio roles will play everything without audio and you just have to reenable these roles later.
    For clips in the Event Browser, you can also disable and reenable audio for a bunch of clips all at once. Select the all the clips you want, open the inspector, click the audio tab and uncheck the box (for "stereo" or "mono" or whatnot) under "Channel Configuration". Again, to reenable just check this box again.
