Serial Number issues when installing Final Cut Studio upgrade

I am trying to install iDVD from my Final Cut Studio V3.0 Upgrade on my new Mac Pro (Late 2013). I put the Serial Number that came with the upgrade in and then it requests the serial number from my original Final Cut Studio. It says the original serial number is invalid.
I am running Mavericks 10.9.4. There are no other computers on my network. I've done the usual things, repair permission and a restart with no joy.
What am I doing wrong.
Thanks,

Final Cut Studio Final Cut Studio 2 Upgrade

Thirteen days ago I placed an order for Final Cut Studio (along with a new MacBook Pro and other accessories costing a total of $4,500 with an education discount). I received the products 7 days ago and sometime this week Final Cut Studio 2 is released. Does anyone know how to get this upgraded? I am sure that considering the small time frame and amount of the purchase (not including the Quad-Core G5 I purchased within the past 18 months, nor the 3 other laptops or countless other desktops my family and I have purchased over the years) that this falls under some kind of Upgrade Protection or something. I called the Apple Store Support number tonight (the 20th) before they closed and was simply told, "I am sorry for the inconvenience, but I can offer you $50 off of the upgrade." Does that even make sense?! Any ideas or suggestions would be great. I'm kind of bummed that a company my family has faithfully supported since it's beginning would shut someone out in a situation like this. Not to mention that the high marks Apple has always received in Customer Satisfaction/Support surveys are most definitely not being reflected here. I hate to say it, but I'm quite confident that not taking care of a customer in this instance is going to cause a loss of an entire family's continued support of the company. Again, though, any ideas you all can give me to help with this situation would be greatly appreciated!
MacBook Pro 17" Mac OS X (10.4.9)

All I can really say is sorry.
There are a few posts around here with the same sentiment.
Fortunately for you, FCP 5.1 is a great product and will serve you well enough to make some money with it and buy the upgrade.
Hate to say this... but if you had asked us here on the forum (all non-apple employees, btw) we would have said wait until after NAB on the 15th of April. We were saying that as much as 2 months ago.
Sorry.

Release product serial number for final cut studio

i bought an imac. gonna take it back. installed final cut studio. how can i unlock the key for the next computer? do i have to contact apple to release it?

You can uninstall all of the FCS components from the iMac before you return it by using this: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcs_remover.htm
When you install FCS on the new computer, use the serial number that was included with the FCS package - it is on stickers affixed to the front cover of the booklet titled "Installing Your Software."

Do I need Final Cut Pro HD when I have Final Cut Studio?

I will be starting my second project on my new mac and using final cut pro. It will be an instructional DVD. This is my first posting and I guess my first attempt at reaching out (baby steps).
I will be borrowing an HD camera (some consumer grade). My Question is do I need Final Cut HD when I have Final Cut Studio installed. I notice Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 has HD import and export settings.
Also, since I have mentioned my project is there any quick reference ideas for a learn to play an instrument DVD, CD or anything.
And lastly as I wonder off my thread a little. Is this Discussion forum my quickest way of getting an answer, I mean is there anyone who will let me bug them from time to time?
Thanks

Forgot to welcome you to the forum... Welcome.
Before you jump into this project you may want to do some research. The format you are talking about is HDV, highly compressed and some would say difficult to edit with. A search here on HDV will give you plenty to read and probably point you to some interesting articles.
Might also consider why you want to shoot HD at all right now since you will most likely be going to Standard Def for distribution.
You'll find that if you just check in and browse the topics every day or so you'll pick up lots of good information (and probably a few laughs)
If you're looking for examples for this type of project, just hop down to your local music store. Most have "How To" DVD's for sale.
Good Luck

My final cut studio keeps giving me this error out of memory message when ever i try to render a piece of footage and its closing unexpected. Does anybody know the reason?

My final cut studio keeps giving me this error out of memory message when ever i try to render a piece of footage and its closing unexpected. Does anybody know the reason?

I had this problem about 2 months ago and, as others have suggested in this thread, eventually traed it backed to some stills I had scanned and brought into the project. Accidentally I had changed the scanner settings, with the result that a couple of skills were well beyond 1980 x 1020 pixels. I resampled the stills and everything was fine again. Hope this might help.

Live Type not loaded when I loded Final Cut Studio

I just upgraded to a Mac Pro from an i Mac. I loaded Final Cut Studio and Live Type was not loaded I do not see it in my applications folder. Do I have to reload the whole Final Cut app. or can I load Live Type only. If so from which disc would I have to load Live Type ?

You can install it from and older version of FCP. Run the installer and it will tell you which discs to load.

How different when i5 and i7 work with Final Cut Studio?

27-inch models only, one of the following:
2.66GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 processor with 8MB shared L3 cache; Turbo Boost dynamic performance up to 3.2GHz
2.8GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor with 8MB shared L3 cache; Turbo Boost dynamic performance up to 3.46GHz; Hyper-Threading for up to eight virtual cores
May I get the "up to 2.3x faster performance with Final Cut Studio" with i5?
Thanks advanced.

It looks very convincing to pay more for i7. Thanks a lot.
I agree, and also get 8G or more of RAM like Switch900 suggests. You can save money on that by buying it from a third-party vendor.

Release Notes for Final Cut Studio 5.1

Numerous bug fixes included in the Universal Binary version of Final Cut Studio 5.1:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/FinalCut_Pro_5.0_lbnz.pdf

I'm sure there's no chance Apple are going to make a Universal or a patched PPC version of Final Cut Studio 5.1 available for download.
I think if you want the fixes in 5.1 then you need to use the crossgrade offer - its certainly unfair for the PPC users who may simply need the various fixes which would normally come in a small Software Update. Then again I just dropped £2500 on a new laptop and Apple want another £35 to use software I already own on it
BTW FCP 5.1 on my MacBook Pro screams! The other aps run very fast too.

Final Cut Studio on Intel PowerMacs?

I am planning on eventually upgrading to a top of the line PowerMac for editing using Final Cut Studio (which I currently own and run on my PowerBook), but I have a few questions that I need to figure out before making a decision on what to get and when to get it.
So I know all this is a little ways off, but soon enough, Apple PowerMacs will be running on Intel processors. Does anyone know if they will be fully capable of running the current version of Final Cut Studio (which is made for the PowerPC processor) and how much slower it would be, since it would be run using Rosetta? When Apple releases the Intel PowerMac, do you think it would be better to get the older generation Quad G5 or the newer and supposedly much faster Intel PowerMac, which would have to run Final Cut Studio through Rosetta, which would slow it down (if it indeed can run the app). Thanks a lot for the input.
15" PowerBook G4 1.25 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.3)

As I understand it, Apple has since OS X created versions of all its applications for both Intel and PowerPC.
Perhaps not all its system levels, but its pro apps.
Remember that Apple bought Final Cut Pro (nee Final Cut) from Macromedia, where the program, originally developed for PC and at one time earmarked to be the front-end editing software for Media 100 on the PC, was being developed by Randy Ubillos.
It was originally called "Key Grip."

Running Final Cut Studio

Since Final Cut Studio was released before the advent of Intel Macs and was not designed to be Universal, is it true that it cannot run as fast as on a PowerPC Mac, other things being equal?

Final Cut Studio is not compatible with integrated Intel graphics processors, so no, it won't work on a Mac mini, at least not fully (some components of FCS may work, but it won't be supported by Apple). You'll want an iMac or a Mac Pro, if you're looking at new systems (if you're doing pro-type work, particularly HD, I'd strongly suggest a Mac Pro), or otherwise a system that meets the system requirements:
http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/specs/
If you're looking to buy a new system and don't need one today, I'd suggest waiting a few weeks. Though we can't say for certain when new systems will be released, the current Mac minis, iMacs and Mac Pros are getting "long in the tooth".
Regards.

Final Cut Studio is crashing a lot using a Mac Pro (nehalem) 2009

Greetings,
I have a video workstation based on a Mac Pro (2x2.26GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon Nehalem, 6 GB RAM, 640 GB HD, 512 NVIDEA VRAM) with a Blackmagic Decklink HD Extreme 2009 and an Highpoint RocketRAID 4322 card (properly connected to a RAID 5 array).
I'm editing, with Final Cut Studio 3, a big TV project with some TGA and loads of HD XDCAM EX 35mbs video footage.
*What is happening wrong?*
Final Cut Pro is crashing to many times and dont let me work with the flow that is supposed. I start to work and i do a bit of scrubbing in the timeline and suddenly the rainbow spyral starts to spin and kaput! FCP just crashes.
I've tried to many things. Re-installing everything from the baseline, plug out the 2 PCIe cards (and not even the drivers are installed). Even so FCP still crashes with the project.
Funny thing is... This symptom only happens with the Nehalem Mac Pro. I have another station based on a Mac Pro 2x2.66 GHz Dual Core Xeon 3 GB RAM 2006 and when i run the project... everything works fine. FCP here doesn't crash.
This is what makes me believe that the problem must be with the new Mac Pro.
I have the reports generated by the FCP after the crash. You can find it here:
http://www.ideiascompernas.com/reports/
I'm getting frustrated because i've invested big in this workstation, safe in the knowledge that it was going to be stable to complete my requirements.
Is there anything that i or Apple can do to resolve my problem. Is it the processor? Extended Hardware Test says that everything is ok.
I'll be waiting,
best regards, thanks,
Pedro

I see you have the GT120, not a very nice card really but maybe it is 'enough.' I'd upgrade. To ATI Radeon 4870, once you get it stable and working.

I see your crash is kernel panic actually.
Exception Type: EXCBADACCESS (SIGBUS)
Exception Codes: KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE at 0x0000000000000000
Crashed Thread: 194
Almost always that is memory related, are you seeing parity errors?
Watch System Profile - Memory tab
Replace the RAM (I'd even up it to more memory, 6 x 2GB is what I would have configured for)
Have you tested your RAM? run Apple Hardware Test?
Disabled ALL USB and Firewire devices?
Is the RR4322 okay to run in slot #2 (16x) rather than in slot 3 or 4 (4x)?
Getting RAM replaced, advanced exchange, or go out and getting some Kingston or Crucial etc for your system, and swapping, really is one good method, trial and error, to find the cultprit or rule out RAM.
Errors like this can mean flushing your caches is a must, and possibly due to errors and crashes, clean system install, checking data (both time consuming) and being careful to recheck your drives with Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro 5 to insure there are not any corrupt files (not perfect either which is why restore the system from known good backup image can be a must).

Final Cut Studio 2 Install questions ...

I have a dual 2.0 G5 that I bought used a while ago and it had Final Cut 5 installed on it. I just bought Final Cut Studio 2 and when I intall I can see that it is upgrading most of the components. Is there a way to uninstall the earlier version and do a clean install of my new FCS2? Or is letting it upgrade the previous owners version okay? I think I would feel better knowing my nice new software bundle was being installed cleanly?
Also, I plan on installing this on my PowerBook. What steps should I take to have the audio/template content get installed on an external drive. I only have 27Gigs available on the internal drive of my laptop.
Thanks in advance,
Keith

I would personally wipe the whole machine if I bought it new-- you don't know what the previous owner's loaded on, how many tiny processses have gotten piled up in the background. The only thing you need to run a fresh install is the FCP5 serial number.
As for the PowerBook installation, you will have the option when installing to place the additional content in another location other than the default. I don't remember exactly when this option presents itself, but keep your eyes open and I'm sure you'll see it.

Installing and Using Logic Studio and Final Cut Studio 2 On the Same iMac

In March of this year, I switched from being a long-time user of PC's to a 24 in. 2.4 GHZ iMac. In late May I purchased Final Cut Studio 2 and Aperture and have greatly enjoyed using both of these applications on my iMac. Both run with no problems under Leopard which I installed shortly after it came out. I am now considering the purchase of Logic Studio since I have enjoyed midi sequencing and audio editing for years on my PC's but wish now to do this on my iMac.
I note that two of the applications included in Logic Studio (Soundtrack Pro 2 and Compressor 3) are a part of the Final Cut Studio 2 suite of programs that I already have installed on my iMac. How will Logic Studio handle this issue when I run the install of that software, i.e. will it be aware that I already have Soundtrack Pro 2 and Compressor 3 and just have those install options grayed out or will it overwrite my FCS2 installation of those two applications? Are there other issues or conflicts between Aperture or Final Cut Studio 2 applications and Logic Studio that I should know before installing Logic Studio?
Thank you very much in advance for responding, and I look forward to reading this forum from this point onward.
Tom

Thanks again for your prompt responses, blayzay. I look forward to getting and installing Logic Studio. If anyone has any precautions on using it with FCS2 or with Leopard, please add a comment to this thread.
