Upgrading from Final Cut Studio to Studio 2...

I just wanted to see that if I upgrade to Studio 2 my current projects will be ok? As far as I'm aware the project will update but then can't be reverted back to be used on the preview version?
Advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

That is correct BUT for safety, I would not advise upgrading in the middle of a project.

  • Is there an upgrade path from Final Cut Studio 3.0 to Final Cut Pro X?

    Is there an upgrade path from Final Cut Studio 3.0 to Final Cut Pro X ?

    The price of FCPX pretty much is the cost of the upgrade of FCPStudio, but a much better value (at least so far -- every update has been free.) However, it's only the single app so you might feel like you're not getting as much for your money. Don't be fooled. Most of Color and Soundtrack Pro are built into FCPX. FCPX will conform video automatically so Cinema Tools aren't really needed anymore. The Motion engine is part of FCPX, although I do recommend buying Motion 5 (an extra 50 bucks.)  (Motion 4 seems to have died in Yosemite - you can't even launch it.)
    I "upgraded" from Final Cut Studio 3... it took me about a week to decide to pack up all the old software for good. YMMV.  However, if you use DVD Studio Pro... hang on to that.

  • Upgrade to Final Cut Studio II on G5

    Hi! I can't find the answer in the requirement specs of FCS II so I'll ask you! I have the G5 (1st model) PowerPC Processor and would like to upgrade from Final Cut Studio to FCS II... but don't know if my machine is capable. Anyone know the answer? Thanks so much everyone!

    I am using FCS 2 on a Dual 2.5GHz G5, purchased in the fall of 2004. This is the model code named "Niagara." There was one earlier G5 model, code named "Grand Prix" that was a current model between June, 2003 and June 2004, which sounds like what you might have.
    I use FCP, DVD Studio Pro and Compressor, and not much of any of the other components, but other than the time it takes for Compressor to complete some tasks, it runs fine. I'm not sure, but I don't see why your model wouldn't also run it--FCS 2 doesn't need an Intel Mac, and your G5 can run up to OS 10.5.9, so if speed isn't that much of an issue, it should work.
    Detailed system requirements for FCS 2 can be found here: http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/specs/
    And more tech info on your G5 and other vintage macs can be found here:

  • How do I upgrade from final cut 5.1 to final cut 5.1.4?

    I wanted to upgrade from final cut studio 5.1 to 5.1.4 because it doesn't recognise my camera JVC HD111E or the format I have used 730p 25 frame. 5.1 codecs are extremely limited. However my Mac doesn't see that I need this update when I go to software update. Downloaded it from idisk public folder after advice from apple support but this won't install. Have tried other ways such as buying a Lumiere HD plug in but this doesn't work either. Please help!

    Welcome to the discussions, saiga. From Wales, eh? Lovely country, that.
    You've registered the software, right? And you've not moved any programs or renamed them? Have you tried re-installing FCP?

  • Upgrade to Final Cut Studio 2 from FCP problem

    Hello,
    I'm trying to install Final Cut Studio 2 upgrade from Final Cut Pro or Production Suite, during the installation process, when i have to insert the original serial number of my older Fina Cut studio, installer show me an error message telling that my serial number is invalid!
    What can i do? Both products are original!
    Thanks

    Call Apple if you're really sure that you are entering the numbers correctly. ones can look like L's and zero's look like Ohs... etc..
    Here's a read on install issues too: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303184 Might help... if it doesn't though, Apple will fix you right up.

  • Purchase multiple upgrades of Final Cut Studio 2?

    We would like to upgrade 4 edit bays to Final Cut Studio 2 from Final Cut Studio. Are there discounts available anywhere for multiple copies?
    Thanks,
    Roland
    PowerMac G5 2.7   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    The discount from Apple used to be for 10 seats or more - where Final Cut Studio 1 was $1299, the 10+ seat rate was $1199/seat - but that is no longer listed anywhere on the Apple site for Final Cut Studio 2 though.

  • Can I upgrade to Final Cut Studio 7 if my last version is also an upgrade??

    I upgraded to Final Cut Pro 4.5 with a version that was for upgrading to FCP 4 from either version 1, 2 or 3.
    I no longer have the previous version, just the FCP 4 box/discs and the "upgrade" authorization code on the sticker it came on.
    I see that there's an upgrade to Final Cut Studio 7 for around $300 from any previous non-academic version...but what about if the last version is an upgrade too?? It IS the FULL FCP 4.5.
    Am I eligible for this discounted upgrade to FC Studio 7? Has anyone done exactly this?
    Thank you for any solid info/experience on this you may have!

    This problem brings up another associated question.
    Is it possible to extract from the app/computer the original Retail Serial Number?
    With my Final Cut Express 4.0.1 I simply go to HD>Library>Application Support>ProApps and open the FCE System ID in TextEdit in order to have my original FCE 1.0.1 revealed. (The upgrade number of course is displayed on the splash screen and also "About FCE").
    However, opening the FCS System ID or the ProAppsSystemID does not reveal any serial number . . . . though my FCS3 is a Full Retail Version. Maybe if it was an upgrade, it might?
    Being able to access and save the original reg would be useful for anyone who has lost it since upgrading.
    It must be stored somewhere, unless when it was originally installed the computer just registered that it had a suitable number and did not save the specific one.

  • Final Cut Studio upgrade to Final Cut Studio 2 problem

    I am trying to upgrade my G5 from Final Cut Studio to Final Cut Studio 2, I have the key for the upgrade, but it is asking for the serial key of the original Final Cut. I have it, but it still won't accept, says it is an invalid serial number. I bought my "turn-key" system from B&H photovideo and had no problems with the system or programs until this. I cannot understand what is going on. I have a previously used Final Cut Studio 2 software. All materials are here, and the key seems good, I just can't get the installer to recognize my original copy. Any suggestions?

    Call Apple.

  • Final Cut Studio 5.0.4 Upgrade to Final Cut Studio 2 HD Crash now needing to install on laptop

    I had Final Cut Studio 5.0.4 on my laptop which I upgraded to Final Cut Studio 2 during the 12 month period when it was offered at a reduced price.  My old G5 Hard Drive has bit the dust and I am trying to install on my laptop.  I have successfully re-installed upto 5.0.4 including the troublesome compressor 2.0.1 and Qmaster 2.0.1.  There are no further updates apparently when my laptop scans for any.  I am running OSX 10.5.8.  Now when I put the disks in for the Studio 2 all FCP, Motion, Soundtrack Pro, Compressor, DVD Studio Pro, Apple Qmaster, Live Type and Cinema tools are all grayed out, saying they need to be upgraded first.  I am guessing it is because this 12 month deal is no longer available.  Does anyone know a work around for this?  I paid $499 for this upgrade and I cant re-install it?
    My laptop is 2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo, 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SD RAM, small for FCP but I don't keep files on there.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    why did you install FCP 5 when you are going to install FCS 2?   FCS 2 upgrade installer does not need  FCP 5 installed and therefore you dont need updates as you will be installing a newer version of FCP.
    During the installation process of FCS 2 it should ask for the serial number of FCP 5 then ask for the upgrade serial number for FCS 2. You must have both of these or it wont install.
    Check this spec for FCS 2 with your laptop to see if it is compatible, if the machine is not compatible, it wont 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.

  • 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.

  • Upgrade from Final Cut Express to Pro 5.0

    I think I made a stupid mistake. I purchased Final Cut Pro 5.0 upgrade thinking I could upgrade from Final Cut Express. But when I am asked to enter the previous versions serial number, it does not accept it. Is there any way to do this or am I going to have to buy the full version of Final Cut Pro?
    Also, I have a G4 Powerbook with the following specs. Is it going to run the program if I do finally get it installed?
    CPU Speed: 867 MHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
    Memory: 640 MB
    Bus Speed: 133 MHz
    NVIDIA GeForce4 MX

    To upgrade from FCE you need the Final Cut Pro 5 Upgrade from Final Cut Express. I just upgraded FCE and that worked fine for me.
    Hope this helps answer your question...

  • Final Cut Studio 2: upgrade from Final Cut Express HD

    I'm guessing I know the answer to this question already, but I'm hoping someone will tell me I'm not correct. Is there an upgrade path from Final Cut Express HD 3.5.1 to Final Cut Studio 2? I don't see one listed on the software page in the Apple store. Seems ashame if there isn't. I'm sure there are other FCE HD owners out there who would like to upgrade rather than starting over for the tune of $1299.

    And it's well worth it. you can recoup a little of
    your cost by uninstalling fce and selling it.
    What's required in order to sell it? Can the registration be transferred to a new owner?
