Will disabling Spotlight affect Final Cut Studio suite?

Many of my composer friends have disabled Spotlight which speeds up their machines supposedly.
They use Spotless2 & Find Any File as their cpu search utility.
I wanted to check to see if trying this would pose any problems in Final Cut Studio, etc.
Thanks,
Sherwood

Disabling Spotlight indexing of media/render drives would not adversely affect FCS at all, many folks do just that.

  • Do you think that Final Cut X will be better than Final Cut Studio 7?

    Do you believe that Final Cut X is better?

    If you have paid any attention to this forum and others you will realise that is an impossible question to answer totally and any answer will be purely subjective.
    For some people, FCPX (once any bugs have been ironed out) is an incredible program.
    For some it is beyond useless and unless things change, will be useless for the foreseeable future.
    Nothing really more to add on the matter - have a browse around!

  • If i buy final cut studio 2 and then get final cut studio 3 upgrade will it be final cut studio 3

    ive been looking around to buy final cut studio 3 for weeks now with no success and i think ive found a solution i'm just wondering if it will work by buying final cut studio 2 full and then buying final cut studio 3 upgrade overall will everything be final cut studio 3?

    You can still get the FCS3 upgrades from the apple shop
    No you can not get FCS upgrades from Apple retail stores or Apple dealers, they have been recalled by Apple.
    Only places that will stock is independant retailers and online used software vendors.
    Apple have clearly stated that FCS is now ''end of life''

  • Final Cut Studio Only?

    i found STP to be the wave editor i've always been waiting for. the workflow is amazing. i haven't touched Peak in 6 months. i'm scripting custom batches for myself and others. it's been a dream come true. now it's essentially gone. if i want it i will have to purchase Final Cut Studio. yes, it's a great deal but i have ZERO use for anything other than STP. this is disappointing. i guess no other non-video using musicians or sound designers bought STP standalone? it's a real shame because Apple could have had a class-killer app in the wave editor market. guess it's back to Peak for me and my clients. gross.

    because i've moved to Intel processors and in order to use STP on them i have to upgrade to the entire Final Cut Studio. granted it is a great deal at $199 but i just don't want it. i'm not a video guy. STP is thee best waveform editor ever to hit the Mac and it's just a drag that Apple doesn't want audio people to use it. they really could have a killer app situation with STP and audio folks. the only real competition is Peak which i used for many years and dropped it like a disease as soon as STP came along. the AppleScript support, the amazing workflow, the whole thing just rules. but now i have to purchase a video production suite to use it. if they targeted this thing at audio people they would have had a huge user base. it's an incredibly useful, powerful and easy-to-use editor. not to mention the multitrack arranging capabilities. it's a real bad@ss.

  • Final cut production suite 4.5 on a G4 Quicksilver to new intel mac

    I just order a new intel mac book pro : does Final cut production suite 4.5 ( bought before the intel macs) works on a new intel mac note book? I plan evtl. to buy the update Final cut studio suite 6.0
    What do i have to do , should i install first the older version or can i install the new version directly?
    Thanks for helping me

    You will need to run the studio2 package. All you need to install the upgrade is your original serial number

  • Final Cut Studio 2 (FCP 6) on MacBook 1.83 Core 2 Duo

    One (probably very stupid) question:
    Will the just announced Final Cut Studio 2 (and especially Final Cut Pro 6) run on my (pretty darn new) MacBook Core 2 Duo (1.83 Ghz White)?
    And which of its applications just won't run on it? I will be upgrading my MacBook's RAM to 2 GB in the next few days.
    Thanks!

    On Apple's FCS2 site, it says:
    "Minimum Requirements to Install All Final Cut Studio Applications
    A Macintosh computer with a 1.25GHz or faster PowerPC G4, PowerPC G5, Intel Core Duo, or Intel Xeon processor
    1GB of RAM
    An AGP or PCI Express Quartz Extreme graphics card (Final Cut Studio is not compatible with integrated Intel graphics processors)
    A display with 1024-by-768 resolution or higher
    Mac OS X v10.4.9 or later
    QuickTime 7.1.6 or later
    A DVD drive for installation"
    Well, the MacBook seems to have all of these... or does it? What's the graphics card on my MacBook? From looking at my specs, I fear that its graphics are powered by the "Intel GMA 950" (internal) processor.
    So no FCP6 on here for sure, right?

  • Reinstalling Final Cut Studio question

    It looks like we will have to reinstall Final Cut Studio 2 and the operating system (Leopard) on one of our iMacs.  We have the serial numbers and know which goes to each machine, but the DVD disk sets were all stored together and not marked.  Does it matter if we use the wrong set of DVDs?

    is there a way to import DV from the canon xl1 in to FCPX?? I have a firewire cable to the mac but still no feed from camera. sorry to but in your convo by the way. i really need some help.

  • Installing Final Cut Studio over old Production Suite upgrade

    My company recently purchased 3 sets of Final Cut Studio. Two of the edit bays just got new first time installs so they worked great but the third bay has my personal verion of production suite wich has been crossgraded to Final Cut Studio. I would like to take mine off and install the company's new Final Cut Studio version. How do I uninstall and change to the new serial numbers? I have read several posts on uninstalling FCP but nothing on DVD Studio, Motion, etc.
    Thanks

    If it was me, and will be soon, I'd gather up all my install discs, serial numbers from other apps etc and rebuild the system from the ground up. It'll take the better part of a day, but you'll be glad you did.

  • Logic Studio 2 and Final Cut Studio 2...will they play ball?

    I just bought Logic Pro Studio2 and it will not allow me to install STP3 and Compressor 3.5 because of my current copy of FCP Studio 2 that is installed onto the same machine.
    What is the work around for this? It would be nice to be able to use the newer software. Could I just uninstall STP2 and Compressor 3 and then attempt the install again with Logic Studio 2 and let it do its thing?
    Thanks guys in advance.

    Hello and welcome to the forum.
    Final Cut Studio is a suite of applications for many video-related tasks. The video editing component of FCS is Final Cut Pro. The main differences between Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Express are FCP's ability to handle natively many different types of media (particular HD) and its media manager and color correction tools.
    Final Cut Express is functionally similar to FCP, but works with a limited range of video formats, resolutions, etc. Working in FCE is excellent preparation for an eventual move to FCP if your needs grow, but many people find that FCE fulfills their needs at a fraction of the price.

  • Production Suite (Academic) to Final Cut Studio (Retail)

    I am looking to upgrade my Production Suite (Academic) to a Full Version of Final Cut Studio. Since this is really not an upgrade will the full version of Final Cut Studio not recognize my Production Suite and install everything separately? Is there anything that I can do to make my transfer easy and seamless?

    Zachary,
    It sounds like you are asking '"Will the retail version install over the academic without problems?" not, "what's the upgrade purchase path."
    Whether the previous version was academic or retail, best practice would be an erase and install. Most problem installations are those that simply install the new verison over the previous one.
    If you have installed thrid party plug-ins (Nattress, etc.) make sure you have the orignial download - don't worry about saving them from the folders.
    good luck.

  • Final Cut Studio or Adobe Production Premium Suite - which should we buy?

    Hi all
    Upfront, I'm not trying to start any flame wars here. My design studio is for the first time investing in video hardware and software. Most of the stuff we'll be doing will be for use on the web or DVD.
    I'm not an expert on video so I'm just trying to get some useful opinions on the relative merits of Final Cut Studio and Adobe Production Premium Suite. We're entirely Mac based, so we have the choice of either.
    Any thoughts and recommendations most welcome.
    PS I'll be posting this exact question on the Adobe forums also.

    hey there mpjx,
    since this is an Apple Discussion, i'm inclined to say FCS.... it's less expensive & is complete solution start to finish for movie making, but you may want/need to get After Effects & other Adobe products to work w/ Flash media. however Adobe CS includes After Effects, Illustrator & some other things for working w/ Flash media. so get what may provide the most bang for your budget.... if you don't need everything in Adobe CS, go FCS & get the Adobe products(Illustrator, After Effects, etc...) you want/need as it occurs.
    good luck.

  • Imac won't let me install Final cut studio 2..it will let me install the upgrade, but it has no live type and i need it to work on my current projects. How do I get Live type back installed in iMac

    I just purchased an iMac for home and went to install final cut studio 2 and it gave me an error saying something about "PowerPC" not used or something like that. Installed the studio upgrade just fine...but it has no "Live Type" which I need to work on projects I have been using in my Mac Pro at my work place. How do I get "Live Type" to install in this iMac? Downloaded Live Type upgrade but that won't update cause there's no "Live Type" in the applications.

    It sounds like you have Lion installed on your new imac, although your profile says SL 10.6.8 (you may want to change this.)
    If you have the Snow Leopard install disc I believe you can install "Rosetta" from the extras folder which will then, if you have the original FCS2 discs , allow you to select and install Live Type and LIve Type content only from the custom install options.
    I hope this will work for you.

  • Will Final Cut Studio 2 HD and FCP 7 Upgrade load on newest OS?

    I have Final Cut Studio HD and an FCP 7 Upgrade on my old system.  Looking to buy a new iMac and wondered if I could load Studio 2 and FCP 7 on the newest OS?
    Any insight is appreciated!

    Forgot to mention, although it will install it isn't officially supported by Apple anymore. Just in case someone jumps in to point it out.

  • HT200276 HOW WILL I GET THE LOST SERIAL NUMBER OF FINAL CUT STUDIO

    HOW WILL I GET THE LOST SERIAL NUMBER OF FINAL CUT STUDIO ???

    It's on the back of the installation booklet. If you've lost that, and have some proof of purchase, it can probably be sorted out by contacting Apple.
