What is best way to UNINSTALL FCP studio2

I just upgraded to FCP Studio 2 and things are not right. Compressor is not working and missing elements, soundtrack pro is messed up and I'm not too sure about motion and color. What is the proper way to uninstall so I can do a fresh install.

If it were me, I'd perform and erase and install of your OS, update it, then install the Studio 2 software. You'll need the old serial number is all from the earlier version. This is what I've done for years with new FCP software, or any time a new OS is installed. It's served me extremely well.
Keep in mind if you're going to use the same startup disk, you need to back up the data you intend to keep. like mail, docs, and maybe fonts you've added. I use a second hard drive for this myself, and migrate from old startup disk to new once I know that the new install is good to go... After a while I trash the old startup disk for a new install down the line. Works wonders.

  • Best way to uninstall FCP 5.0 and then install 5.1 on my MBP

    hope this is not a dumb question... i installed FCP 5.0 on my MBP not knowing that i should have done the 'universal crossgrade' to 5.1 first. I'm kinda new to Mac, so how should i do the install of 5.1? should i completely uninstall all the FC Studio Apps (FCP, motion, DVDSP, soundtrack pro, live type) first by just deleting them from the 'applications' folder and then install all the 5.1 apps? or can/should i just start with the install of 5.1 without deleting the 5.0 apps? Also, does anyone have any thoughts on running Motion on the Mac Book Pro? Using the 5.0 (non universal) version of Motion, the app would never open past the "opening startup screen" which is how i found out that i should get the universal crossgrade, so hopefully this will solve that problem and run smoothly??? thanks for any help in advance...

    your best bet is to wipe your harddrive and do a clean install of the os and it's updates, then your software.
    simply deleting fcp from your applications folder won't uninstall the application.
    do a search in the motion forum for operating on a macbook pro, you'll find people do with great success.

  • When I'm done with my fcp sequence, whats the best way to get it to dvd?

    When I'm done with my fcp sequence, whats the best way to get it to dvd?

    The advice to go to Compressor left out the part that you may want to convert your audio to AC3 becaus ethe MPEG2 bitrate is probably too high for DVD specs.
    This method is in the DVDSP manual and it's in the Compressor manual, both difficult to locate, but easily searchable.
    Here's what I'd do: Export the timeline form FCP in the native sequence settings, self-contained. Bring that self-contained movie into DVDSP and let DVDSP handle the transcode.
    The advice to go to iDVD is even easier.

  • Using final cut studio what the best way of getting a mini disc in to FCP?

    I do some weddings and record some audio on to a mini disc recorder ( the small ones . On my avid liquid edit suite I just used to run it in live or ingest it on a 2 hour timer, and just record audio.
    What the best way to do it with final cut studio and final cut pro?

    Is there a reason you can't do the same on your mac system? What outputs does the audio recorder have?

  • One headphone does not work or works 50% of the time.  What is best way to resolve?

    one headphone does not work or works 50% of the time.  What is best way to resolve?

    First of all, I'd recomend resetting the iPod. Do this by pressing the 'Menu' and 'Center" buttons for 10 seconds or until the Apple logo appears.
    If this doesn't work, then it sounds like a hardware fault.
    To identify the issue, if you have one, try plugging the iPod into a speaker through the dock. If this works, then the issue is with the headphone jack. If not then the logic board is dead.  If the iPod is less than a year old, then it can be repaired by Apple for free. Just book an appointment for the Genius bar.
    If not then, you could see about sending it to an iPod Repair Company, such as my own. A replacement headphone jack would cost £30.00 in the UK, including next day delivery. Other companies you could try would beUKiPodRepairs, but we guarantee to beat any quote that you get.
    Hope that this helps,

    Paragon even has non-destriuctive conversion utility if you do want to change drive.
    Hard to imagine using 3TB that isn't NTFS. Mac uses GPT for default partition type as well as HFS+

  • Wipe my hard drive clean except for the OS whats the best way?

    I need to wipe my hard drive clean except for the OS whats the best way?

    From Kappy (note: with this method, you will need to update to the present OS version using the appropriate Combo Update from Apple Downloads.)
    Boot from the OS X Installer Disc One that came with the computer. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities (Installer menu if using Panther or Jaguar) menu. After DU loads select the startup volume from the left side list then click on the Erase tab. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then click on the Options button. Select the one pass Zero Data option and click on the OK button. Then click on the Erase button.
    Note: You can skip the Zero Data option if you are not concerned about removing sensitive personal data from the hard drive. If you choose to skip this part of the process then it is possible for others to recover data from the hard drive. The Zero Data procedure will prevent others from getting access to your personal information.
    This process will take 30 minutes to several hours depending upon the size of the hard drive. After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Now complete the OS X installation. At the completion of the installation do not restart the computer. Instead just shut it off. The next user will be presented with the Setup Assistant when they turn on the computer just as it would if new out of the box.

  • Whats the best way to get a big text file in a CLOB variable?

    Hi,
    I have a very premitive type of question.
    I have a big text file, say 30 MB, in a Unix directory (Solaris). I want to get the whole text of that file in a CLOB variable.
    I saw the procedure dbms_lob.loadfromfile/loadclobfromfile. In both these cases, according to the documentation, the target where is collect the data will be a BLOB and not a CLOB. So, I have to convert that blob into a clob.
    If I want to avoid all this conversion process, whats the best way to get a text from a file into a CLOB variable?
    Please suggest.
    Regards

    In addition, LoadFromFile is overloaded to handle both BLOB and CLOB:
    PROCEDURE LOADFROMFILE
    Argument Name                  Type                    In/Out Default?
    DEST_LOB                       BLOB                    IN/OUT
    SRC_LOB                        BINARY FILE LOB         IN
    AMOUNT                         NUMBER(38)              IN

    Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
