What version of QT for Final Cut Studio 1?

I'm building a hard drive for video editing and I seem to remember that FCP 5 (comes with Studio) doesn't play well with some newer versions of Quicktime. It will be a 10.4 machine. What version of QT should I install? Is 10.4.11 ok too?
Thanks for your help!

  • What Mac to get for Final Cut Studio?

    I've been doing most of my video editing for the last year or so in Sony Vegas on a PC. I'm looking to get into it a bit more seriously and want to make the switch to Final Cut Studio.
    Can I run it on a Macbook Pro? Can I run it WELL on a Macbook Pro? Currently I'm running Sony Vegas on a PC with a Q9350 quad-core CPU, 4gb ram, and an 8800GT graphics card, and I'm not fully satisfied with the way it runs (encoding times are fine, but it's difficult to preview within the software with any semi-complex effects added). What should I be looking for in terms of processing speed and whatnot here? Could I get away with the 13 or 15 inch Macbook pros and still run things well?
    Hard drive size is not an issue, as everything will be archived to a server.

    This isn't the thread in post in.
    Try here

    It depends on which MBP, what type of video you are editing, and other factors.
    Remember as well that FCS3 2009 includes FCP, DVDSP, Compressor, Color, Motion, and Cinema Tools, some of which are GPU based in part.

  • What is the cost for Final Cut Pro if I don't have a previous version to update?

    What is the cost for Final Cut Pro if I don't have a previous version to update? I see the $299 price for updates.
    What is the brand new purchase price?

    Thanks so much. Yes I was thinking on the lines of PwnySlaystation's response.
    I appreciate the help.
    Will this new version run on OS 10.6.8?
    Thanks for the help.

  • Plug-ins for Final Cut Studio

    Please post your recommendations for plug-ins for FInal Cut Studio (Final Cut Pro and Motion).

    film leaders clips can be downloaded online if you dig around a bit ... Peter Wiggins has a nice Motion Template clock he offers for free (which is a bargain by anyones reckoning)
    easy enough to create your own film leader style countdown with a few back to back text generators separated by clock wipe transitions
    color bars can already found in your fcp video generators bin
    color bars and a film leader style countdown can also be auto generated during output (print to video and edit to tape)
    distort faces and license plate like they do on tv? ... ok i give up, what do you mean? if you mean you want to disguise them (Mosaic, Blur etc) then you can have a bash with my Region Blur plugin

  • Set of manuals for Final Cut Studio 5.1

    Does anyone have a set of manuals for Final Cut Studio 5.1 that they don't need and would be willing to sell?
    I got the crossover version, and find it difficult to cuddle up with the pdf files provided.
    If you purchased the full version, and have now gone on to Studio 2 full version, and don't need the manuals to Studio 5.1, and are interested in selling them, please post back here.
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Here's something:
    http://cgi.ebay.com/Apple-Final-Cut-Studio-Manuals-Disks-Box-no-license_W0QQitem Z260158727741QQihZ016QQcategoryZ80245QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
    But the bidding will probably go up. You can tell by the way he worded the auction that he's selling an illegal copy for people who aren't concerned with legality by disguising it as "a backup".

  • What other programs are for Finale Cut Pro

    What other programs are for Finale Cut Pro?
    Like added transisions and such.

    Start out here where you'll find tons of top quality FREE plugins made by some very creative folks.
    http://www.fcp.co/forum/9-free-fcpx-plugins-and-templates
    The only "must-have" plugins I'd recommd are "Slice X" by CoreMelt, and "Nattress Levels & Curves" from Noise Industries (FX Factory).
    Everything else is just eye candy.
    I advise my students to not buy plugin until you actually need them for a paying job, and have that work pay for it.

  • What Is The Difference With FInal Cut Studio 2 Academic To Full Version?

    Hi there I just got a Macbook Pro and plan on buying Final Cut Studio 2 but found the Academic version cheaper and was wondering what the difference is especially with quality and the handling of hd video Sony EX HD to be exact). Thank you for any responses.

    The software is the same; the only difference is that you cannot upgrade an academic version and you have to be able to qualify for the academic pricing (students and teachers).

  • Looking for advice on a new Mac Pro system mainly for Final Cut Studio 2

    We are a small video production company that works mainly on broadcast and internet projects. We're looking to upgrade from an aging Avid system to a Mac Pro running Final Cut Studio 2. The primary thing we want from this system is to be able to work quickly in Final Cut while at the same time doing other operations, and we're willing to spend what it takes to make that happen. We've done a lot of research but still have some issues where we could use your expertise - it's a big investment and we want to nail it.
    Here's the configuration we're considering:
    Processor: Two 3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon (8-core)
    Memory: 16GB (4 x 4GB)
    Hard Drives: 300GB 15,000-rpm SAS (for OS X, Final Cut, & other programs) plus 2 x 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s (for video storage)
    Graphics: NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600
    We're thinking about spending the extra $1600 to get the best processor available, since we want this machine to be the hub of the business for about five years. Any thoughts on whether to save a bit and go with the 2.8GHz? We've also heard the bus speed presents a bottleneck so the Quad-Core processing power can't be fully utilized - should that have any bearing on our processor decision?
    The memory choice seems right - we'll see how well that works and retain the option to double the RAM, particularly as prices fall and new applications or hardware upgrades become tenable. However, we're thinking of perhaps buying some or all of the memory third-party - any advice on whether this tends to be worthwhile, where to get it, and what to watch out for? It looks like there may some issues with getting proper heat-sinking.
    We like the hard drive plan, though we've heard a 15,000-rpm drive may generate a lot of heat - any thoughts on this?
    The graphics card is where we're most torn - specifically between the Quadro 5600, the GeForce 8800, or perhaps even getting the computer with the standard card (or no card) and getting a different third-party card. We do mostly DV now, but we foresee doing HD projects in the future. We often use a green-screen that's in our studio and also apply minimal 3D effects as well as 3D text. We're debating whether to get the Quadro 5600 right off the bat and hopefully have no issues with it, or whether to get the GeForce 8800 for now and if we have issues then consider upgrading to the Quadro 5600 or potentially something else that would best suit our needs at that time. Would love to receive any and all advice on this issue.
    Also, it looks like we're gonna buy Final Cut Studio 2 and are considering also getting Final Cut Server. It seems the combination would allows us to use the Final Cut suite on other computers (both Mac and Wintel) that don't have their own version of Final Cut installed. Is that the correct interpretation? Any other advice on whether to get FC Server would be appreciated.
    Thanks very much for reading - we look forward to getting any and all advice you may have.

    *Don't do it!* Stick with the dual-2.8GHz config. A jump from that to the dual-3.2GHz gains you only an approximate 9% increase in power at a 52% increase in cost! Not worth it all. That money is much wiser spent on RAM, RAID array, or a broadcast monitor.
    Memory: 16GB (4 x 4GB)

    The processor is only one part of the whole, and as I just mentioned, the power:cost benefits are not good.

    Quadro 5600 is pricey, but I'm not sure about its benefits for people in our field. Even if I had the money for it, I would be hard pressed to consider it considering, again, money is liekly wiser spent elsewhere.
    Also, it looks like we're gonna buy Final Cut Studio 2 and are considering also getting Final Cut Server.

    I don't know much about FCServer, but my impression is that it is -- simply speaking -- Final Cut version of Avid Unity. In other words, I am pretty certain that your understanding on that is false. I may be wrong.

  • Making Room for Final Cut Studio 2

    hiya been a long time since ive been on.
    so here's my problem, right now im working on a g5 tower dual 2.0 2.5 gig ram, very nice machine and has served me well for my final cut and production audio needs. i just recently bought a macbook pro 2.2 version with 120 gig of harddrive space, after hearing that sweet gong sound of the first boot up on a shinny new laptop, i was slightly sad when i saw that i only had 80 gig of space available on my hardddrive. id like to install final cut studio 2 when i get it, along with all the content, and still have room for programs such as tracktor dj studio 3, my music, and creative suite three...
    ive thought about deleting all the unneccesarry programs such as imovie, garage band, idvd, ect. ect. but im unsure what this will do to my system, and what exactly i can get rid of to give me that extra 10 gig or so.
    my question is; 1. can i delete imovie and all the unnecessary junk im never going to use with out system problems? and and 2. what else can i get rid of to give me that extra gig or so, so i can pack this baby with software, and not bog down my system
    peace n love

    The Final Cut Studio applications only take up about 4gb of space. The other 56gb of content include LiveType Data, SoundTrack Loops, tutorials, templates, etc. You have the option during the installation process to install the "extras" on another drive ... leaving plenty of space on your boot drive.

  • *** Help finding update for FInal Cut Studio

    I'm running FCP 5.0.4 but need to be on the version my new editor is using (5.1.3). I've tried to go to the Apple site, and I've downloaded the 5.1.3 update, but it won't let me update unless I do some updates in between which I can't find.
    Can anyone send me the links I need to get from 5.0.4 to 5.1.3?

    It's really important to keep your discs. Ignoring this crossgrade issue, what would you have done had your system drive crashed and you'd simply had to reinstall the software? Always keep your original software discs somewhere safe.
    As to the 'unusual and unreasonable' issue, you're not the first or last to complain about this - none of us were very happy about it. But remember that Final Cut Studio when installed is about a 35GB suite of applications and media. There's simply no way that would have been doable by Apple as a download. Imagine the number of people who's connections would have dropped during the download, or who simply don't have the bandwidth to download something that large?
    Some things are best done the old way! Anyway - try the XML sequence exchange I mentioned above, that'll save you the money, hassle AND the time.

  • Is the 24 inch Apple Cinema Display the best choice for Final Cut Studio 2

    I'm about to order a Mac Pro and Final Cut Studio 2 and have a question about monitor choices.
    Is the 24 inch Apple Cinema Display the best choice are there non-Apple monitors that will do as good or better job with HD editing and output?

    COMPUTER MONITORS bear very little on HD editing and output...especially output. They are just the monitors you use to look at your clips and your timeline. THey work for SD and HD. You really only use them to, well, as I said, see what you are doing. It would be nice to have GOOD ONES so the image looks decent. I use the Dell 24" monitors. The current one is the 2408. Nearly half the price of the Apple 23" displays...and really, the only Apple 23" that exists connects via their new connector, so you need a new MacPro or MacBook pro...or some adapter, to get it to work. And they are not worth the extra money, in my experience.
    Samsung monitors are also good.

    Well I've asked him if he will. He's an Amazon seller, so... fingers crossed. Are there any other ways I can check? I've looked at the minimum system requirements on the Apple site, and it seems to be okay, but of course the Apple rep I spoke to seemed very doubtful (said that I should have to re-install the older OSX (5.5?) (that was out at the same time)  by partioning my computer, so I could run both, and wanted to sell me FCP X instead.  I of course told him I had heard the reviews and would only buy it over the counter named "my dead body". He promised me he wasn't on a commission basis, but.... he didn't seem very helpful!   Cheers Ian.
