When you uninstall final cut pro does your projects delete too

No, only the app is removed.
The Events and Projects are completely untouched and ready to use when you reinstall or update FCP X.
To uninstall simply drag the FCP X application icon to the trash and delete it.

  • How do you uninstall Final Cut Pro 5?

    I have found documentation on Apple's site for uninstalling FCP 3, but not 4, nor 4.5 and not 5.
    Someone told me that uninstalling FCP 4/4.5 (HD) is the same as uninstally FCP 5, but I haven't really found anything for uninstalling 4/4.5.
    So any tips would be very helpful.
    Many thanks,
    Samah

    when i opened final cut pro x, everything was gone.

    so this means that all my work isn't completely gone?
    Your work will still be there, you just have to go through Updating your older pre 10.1. stuff to the new Library model way of doing things.
    Follow Tom's suggestions to the letter and things should go smoothly.

  • How do I uninstall final cut pro x?

    Hi there.
    Is there a proper way to uninstall Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5, and the new Compressor from my system (10.6.8), or can I just thrash the 3 apps?
    I'd also like to make sure to delete the downloaded additional content, and that my Final Cut Studio (FCP 7.0.3, etc) that's also in this computer doesn't get affected.
    I searched hi and lo and couldn't find any answer of discussion about it. The manual also doesn't say.
    Thank you.

    Hi there.
    I have a way for you to uninstall FCPX, but it may be incomplete (as in it might not delete everything).  Do not use this if you have Final Cut Studio and you want to keep it as this will render it useless and you will have to reinstall.  First delete the program itself.  If you are using a developer preview of Lion follow these steps:
    1. Open Launchpad and find FCPX, Motion 5, and Compressor
    2. Click and hold on the icon, then click the x in the top left corner of the wiggling icon.
    3. Skip down below after the Snow Leopard Part.
    Snow Leopard Steps:
    1.  Find a Mac uninstallation program (Here the one that I use: http://www.freemacsoft.net/AppCleaner/)
    2.  Launch App Cleaner.
    3.  Click on the application folder in your dock and find the 3 apps.
    4.  Drag them into the window that appears when you open App Cleaner.
    5.  Click delete, and then type the administrator password if it asks for one.
    6.  Skip down below.
    Remove (I think all) of the additional content:
    1. Click on finder.
    2. Press CMD + Shift + G
    3. Copy and paste this (replacing username with your actuall username): /Users/Username/Library
    4. Look for and delete the Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Compressor folders.
    5. Follow Step 2 above.
    6. Follow Step 3 above except paste this (and don't replace anything): /Library/Application Support
    7. Look for and delete the Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Compressor folders.

  • How to uninstall final cut pro 5

    How do you do this? I have used app delete to erase the files but it didn't get them all. I know this because when I check for updates it still offers me the final cut pro updates. I have searched around but cant find an uninstaller. Help please.
    Thanks,

    Warning - This is a long post.
    How to uninstall Final Cut Pro & the other ProApps -
    There are two ways to do this. The first requires that you insert the
    install discs for each app and go through the following procedure to
    identify the installed files.
    1) Insert the disc and double click the install icon.
    2) Click to let the installer check your system
    3) After the installer opens, click File > Show Files (Command-T)
    4) Click the disclosure triangle next the the app's name to show all the
    files installed, then select all of them
    5) Choose Edit > Copy (Command-C)
    6) Open a text editor & paste the list
    7) If you have a printer connected, print
    8) Make sure you delete the file/folder in the exact location indicated
    in the list
    9) Insert the next app's install disc and repeat
    The other way involves the Terminal.
    Using Terminal:
    1) In Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder (Shift-Command-G)
    2) Enter the location /Library/Receipts/FinalCurPro.pkg/Contents
    3) Click Go to open the Contents folder
    4) Launch Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal)
    5) Enter the command lsbom -s (a lower case L, not an upper case i)
    lsbom lists each of the files inside the bill of materials. To list only
    the folders, the command would be lsbom -d.
    6) Type a space, then drag the Archive.bom file from the Finder window
    to the Terminal window.
    7) Press Return to view the list
    8) Drag to select the list in the Terminal window and choose File > Copy
    (Command-C)
    9) Open a text editor and paste the list into it. Print if you have a
    printer attached.
    10) Guided by the list, delete all the files and folders, being
    extremely careful to delete from the exact locations shown in the list.
    NOTE: The above comes from the Peachpit book Optimizing Your Final Cut
    Pro System.

  • UNINSTALLING FINAL CUT PRO

    Can any one tell me how to uninstall Final Cut Pro completely? All my filters and sound loops etc are spread across multiple drives. I wish to start completely fresh and re-install Final Cut placing the loops etc onto one specific drive.
    thanks

    Not sure if you can pick a desinated location for the loops. You can simply copy it to new location.
    Filters are in one location: library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support
    Just trash it.
    Download the 'FCP Rescue' and it will delete some prefs and other files for you. It's also handy to have when FCP crashes and it will restore your prefs.
    Trash the application FCP.
    Reinstalling the software will over-write the rest.

  • When i open final cut pro x  when it starts loding the projects it shows the spining beach ball and is stuck wat can i do?

    when i open final cut pro x  when it starts loding the projects it shows the spining beach ball and is stuck wat can i do?

    Possible  corrupted project or media fies. Here's what I'd suggest.
    First trash preferences. If that doesn't work…
    Move your Final Cut Projects folder into a folder named Hidden Folder. See if FCP then launches. If it doesn't hide your Final Cut Events folder. Once FCP launches successfuly, create a test event and project.
    To track down the problem, successively move load events and projects from hideen to their proper location and open FCP. When and if you get the crash you have hopefully located the problem.
    The easiest way to do this is to purchace Event Manager X ($5).
    Good luck.

  • "media server application expectly quit" when submitting from final cut pro

    browsing through the list, it seems the problem couldn´t be solved so far.
    doing some systematic testing, the following riddle shows up:
    ... when adding a QT ref movie (or movie) directly to the compressor batch list and submit to the cluster, everything runs fine.
    ... when exporting from final cut pro:
    menu -> export -> using compressor ...
    submitting in compressor using:
    1) Cluster: this computer: everything keeps running fine.
    2) Cluster: MylovelyCluster ....
    the job fails with the message "Failed: HOST [clusternode_name.local] media server application unexpectedly quit"
    since there is 5TB + of data to be compressed, copying files to the render nodes is not an option. all data is on a shared xraid, connected via giganet.
    Any ideas, any hints appreciated !
    regards,
    p.s. Anybody running an XSAN having the same issues?
    G5s, G4s, G3s, macminis, powerbooks   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   xraid

    ... well, the answer is in other topics.
    showstopper explains it patently again and again ...
    thanks from here.
    shortly: when submitting from FCP, every node HAS to have FCP installed and MUST have access to the same relative file path (mounted shared volume). If the volume is not present, the render node will open the reconnect media dialogue and waits for user input.

    How do you import final cut pro projects into imovie?
    (like you create a project in final cut but i want to save it, and import it into imovie..

    Hi -
    Mr. Ross is right, there is no direct way to export your project with all it's elements into iMovie.
    If, on the other hand, you have a completed sequence in FCP that you want to export as a finished element, then import into iMovie for you to re-edit or apply titles, music, etc. you would:
    In FCP:
    Click on the Sequence Icon you want to export in your browser.
    Go to the menu File > Export > Quicktime Movie. Give your movie a name a navigate to where you want it stored. Make sure you choose Settings: Current Settings and have the Make Movie Self Contained checked. Click Save.
    Close FCP and open iMovie.
    In iMovie:
    Go to the menu File > Import > Movies and navigate to the movie you just exported from FCP. Choose if you want your movie imported in it's original size, etc.
    Click Import. Your movie will be imported into iMovie.
    Note that using this method only gives you only the elements that made up your FCP sequence, so this may not give you the flexibility you need.
    Hope this helps.

  • Final Cut Pro does not work with Yosemite. Can it be fixed?

    Final Cut Pro does not work with Yosemite. Can it be fixed?

    Hi Tom, I don't know if you can help me.
    I'm using Final Cut version 10.1.4 with Yosemite 10.10.2 and whenever I open FCP it opens for about 5 seconds (not allowing me to click anywhere) before closing with the message  "Final Cut Pro quit unexpectedly. click reopen to open the application again. This report will be sent to apple automatically." I have tried opening it multiple times and the same thing has been happening over and over again and i've tried everything I could find on the internet and nothing is working.
    HELP.
    Jada.

  • How do I uninstall Final Cut Pro 5 Suite?

    I've never actually tried to uninstall this suite, so I may be overlooking something obvious. I tried opening the install package and looking for an option there, but no luck - and the document on Apple's site that should instruct me on how to do this seems to be missing.
    Does anyone have any tips?

    one of the support articles includes these notes:
    Another approach you might consider is reinstalling Final Cut Pro. To do this effectively, you need to remove the application and its receipts, then install Final Cut Pro and use Software Update to install additional updates. You don't have to remove everything that was installed with Final Cut Pro. Follow the steps below to completely reinstall a fresh copy of Final Cut Pro. Note: Make sure that you have your installation discs and serial number handy before starting this.
    Open the Applications folder.
    Drag the Final Cut Pro application to the Trash.
    Go to /Library/Receipts.
    In the Receipts folder, select the "FinalCutPro.pkg" file.
    Choose View > as List to view the contents in a list.
    Click the Date Modified column header so you can easily see all of the receipts that were installed at the same time as Final Cut Pro.
    Drag the FinalCutPro.pkg receipt to the Trash, as well as any other items that have the same modification date within 3 minutes of the FinalCutPro.pkg's modification date.
    Click the Name column header to sort the list alphabetically.
    Drag any other receipts whose names begin with "Final Cut Pro" to the Trash.
    Insert your Final Cut Pro installation disc and install Final Cut Pro.
    When finished, use Software Update (under the Apple menu) to update your software to the latest version.
    For further information on settings or installation, please refer to the Final Cut Pro documentation available on your installation discs.
    Hope that helps

  • Final Cut Pro Does Not Recognize New External Hard Drive

    I am editing a large video project and I had to buy an external hard drive. When I go into FCP, it does not recognize that I now have a lot more room to store media. How do I get it to recognize. Please help! Thanks.

    I can see the new disk on my desktop. What do I change in "Preferences" exactly?
    In Final Cut pro - System Settings - Shift Q...
    You can add it to your list of scratch disks... (which, BTW, should NOT include your system disk)
