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.

  • Final Cut Studio 2 and avc-intra

    I am using Final Cut Studio 2 and am having trouble with .mxf files. I downloaded the avc-intra decoder drive from Panasonics site and a majority of the files ended 3/4 of the way through with sever audio noise at the end. I sent the drive back to the cameraman to see if he had better luck, turns out he did... Though I saw that he was using Final Cut Studio 3 and the quicktime files he provided back were formatted as AVC-Intra 100M...which is neither playable in quicktime or editable in Final Cut Studio 2.
    What am I missing? Time to upgrade? What can I do in the meantime.
    Thanks for the ideas!

    Well, you can't use the file he sent unless you upgrade. But if you get the card dumps back, you should be able to LOG AND TRANSFER to ProRes on your system fine. Or was that the issue? They had garbage at the end?
    Trashing preferences fixes a lot of FCP oddities.

  • Final Cut Studio 2 and Logic Studio on MacBook

    I have a white MacBook bought in late 2008. It has a 2.1 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor w/ 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
    My question is: has anyone run Final Cut Studio 2 and/or Logic Pro with these specs? And how was it?
    I was told performance would be weak. I was also told nothing could be done to improve the performance other than buy a MacPro or at the very least get a MacBookPro. I have no reason NOT to believe this but I am interested in a second opinion.

    Hi there,
    Ignore the other posts, both run absolutely fine on a macbook! I use final cut studio 2 on a white macbook and so do about 10 of my friends almost without problem. Final cut works perfectly, dvd sp works perfectly, motion works perfectly, soundtrackpro works perfectly! the only problem i ever had was rendering with 'color', none of my other friends grade their videos so they have no problems at all. Are you going to do any grading?
    I believe the macbook is not officially supported though, so I don't think you'll be able to get help from apple if there's any problem solving to be done. I've been using FCP and FCS for years now though and have honestly never had a problem I couldn't solve myself
    Logic also runs amazingly well too.
    hope that helps

  • Final Cut Studio 2 and Canon hv20

    I'm currently working on Final Cut Studio 2 and I'm looking at buying a Canon HV20. I've looked into some threads on this one and it seems that people are having trouble with this camera on FC Studio 2. Is there anyone out there that can attest to smooth and efficient workflow with this set up? A major selling point for me is the 24p, tell me it works well, please tell me it works well.
    thank you,
    t r e y v o n

    HV20 works perfectly at 24p in FCP 6.0.2.
    Added advantage is that you can capture uncompressed (with HDMI card and fast drive/RAID) at much higher quality and resolution than HDV.
    Quality is so good, you can create great 1920 x 1080 24p green screen shots (using 4:2:2 color space from HDMI) and dvMatte Pro 3.
    The next step up to get better quality at 24p is around $5K-$6K range (I think?).
    Here's a small image of a 24p frame shot on green screen with the HV20:

  • Final cut studio 2 and macbook pro 17?

    I'm anxious to purchase Final Cut Studio 2, and a new MacBook Pro 17" laptop. Is FCS2 and this laptop 100% compatible? Will I be able to install and run FCS2 on this laptop successfully?
    Laptop specs:
    MacBook Pro 17" Notebook 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 3 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, TI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics processor, dual -ink DVI support, 256MB of GDDR3 SDRAM, external 500G hard drive for video storage (firewire 800).
    MacBook Pro 17"   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Well those that have tried running FCS 2 on a 17" laptop can't talk. It's not released yet...
    However there is no reason why it shouldn't work well. Add an Io HD to the mix, and you'll edit HD on it all day long... we were showing this in the AJA booth at NAB a couple of weeks ago. Apple was running it too on laptops in their booth...
    Figure it should be fine. With the advent of Pro Res, there's little you couldn't edit on a MBP... however there are some things you'll not be editing with it, such as 2 k files, or uncompressed HD. Pro res takes care of that though. It's really visually lossless.

  • Can I use Final Cut Studio 3 - notably FCP 7 - on the lastest MacBook Pro (non Retina) (Z0MV-27-4GB-512-HRA Apple 15" MacBook Pro/2.7GHz Quadcore Intel Core i7/8 GB) running OS 10.8?

    Can I use Final Cut Studio 3 - notably FCP 7 - on the lastest MacBook Pro (non Retina) (Z0MV-27-4GB-512-HRA Apple 15" MacBook Pro/2.7GHz Quadcore Intel Core i7/8 GB) running OS 10.8?  If not, is there a work-around if I have to revisit work done in FCS 3?

    I have it running on the latest NON-Retina MBP. And a good friend of mine has it running on his Retina model. Works fine.

    What if I have to revisit any one of them?  What if I try FCP X and find I prefer FCS 3?
    If you need to revisit them...that's why you install FCS3.  That's really the only reason I have that on my system, to revisit old projects, and to deal with clients who still use FCP 7.
    You really should look at moving on though...not sticking with FCP7. It's 4 years old...two years since it was EOL.  Adobe Premiere Pro CC is a very good FCP replacement...although I don't like their "rental" method of paying a subscription to use it.  Or you can buy Adobe CS6...but that just lacks enough to make it not quite tempting for me.  Premiere CC is spot on...but **** if I don't hate that subscription model.  But there's also Avid Media Composer.  But that doesn't do a lot of things that I used FCP and Adobe for...

  • 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''

  • Upgrade to Final Cut Studio 2 from FCP problem

    Hello,
    I'm trying to install Final Cut Studio 2 upgrade from Final Cut Pro or Production Suite, during the installation process, when i have to insert the original serial number of my older Fina Cut studio, installer show me an error message telling that my serial number is invalid!
    What can i do? Both products are original!
    Thanks

    Call Apple if you're really sure that you are entering the numbers correctly. ones can look like L's and zero's look like Ohs... etc..
    Here's a read on install issues too: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303184 Might help... if it doesn't though, Apple will fix you right up.

  • Final Cut Studio 5.0.4 Upgrade to Final Cut Studio 2 HD Crash now needing to install on laptop

    I had Final Cut Studio 5.0.4 on my laptop which I upgraded to Final Cut Studio 2 during the 12 month period when it was offered at a reduced price.  My old G5 Hard Drive has bit the dust and I am trying to install on my laptop.  I have successfully re-installed upto 5.0.4 including the troublesome compressor 2.0.1 and Qmaster 2.0.1.  There are no further updates apparently when my laptop scans for any.  I am running OSX 10.5.8.  Now when I put the disks in for the Studio 2 all FCP, Motion, Soundtrack Pro, Compressor, DVD Studio Pro, Apple Qmaster, Live Type and Cinema tools are all grayed out, saying they need to be upgraded first.  I am guessing it is because this 12 month deal is no longer available.  Does anyone know a work around for this?  I paid $499 for this upgrade and I cant re-install it?
    My laptop is 2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo, 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SD RAM, small for FCP but I don't keep files on there.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    why did you install FCP 5 when you are going to install FCS 2?   FCS 2 upgrade installer does not need  FCP 5 installed and therefore you dont need updates as you will be installing a newer version of FCP.
    During the installation process of FCS 2 it should ask for the serial number of FCP 5 then ask for the upgrade serial number for FCS 2. You must have both of these or it wont install.
    Check this spec for FCS 2 with your laptop to see if it is compatible, if the machine is not compatible, it wont install.

  • Final Cut Studio 5 and the Original MacBook Pro compatable?

    Please help a frustrated old pro. I bought a MacBook Pro when they first came out, had it configured with a Quartz Extreme video card and upgraded Final Cut Production Suite to Final Cut Studio. I use Digital Juice products too. I just cannot get anything to work right - it shuts down, hangs up, is super super unbelieveably slow.....I took it in the local Apple store and they told me everything was fine but it can't be. This is my 3rd Mac - I've always loved them but this one doesn't work at all. My LaCie drives are so slow with it as well. What would you suggest I do? Thank you for your response!

    You Macbook Pro is Intel processor based. The first version of FCP 5, part of Final Cut Studio 1 was Power PC based up until version 5.1.1 when they went universal. If you're trying to install FCP5 version 5.0.4 or earlier it won't work at all on your Intel based Macbook Pro. You need to upgrade to FCP 5.1 or later, which means sending in your FCS discs to Apple and they'll send you back the universal versions which will work on both the Intel and Power PC based platforms. Hope this makes sense.
    If you're using FCP 5.1.1 or later on your Macbook Pro but it's not working right then you need to provide more info about your system: Anything that will help to diagnose your problem. All things being equal, your Macbook Pro should certainly be able to run FCP 5.1.1 or later.

  • Will Final Cut Studio 3 work with OSX Mavericks?

    If you have the snow leopard install disk, you can do a custom install and just install rosetta. 
    One person on this forum, says there are serious issues with this workflow and links to another method.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/22029476#22029476
    I've done it a few times without any issues, and I haven't seen any definitive reports detailing the problems with this. 
    Doing a complete clean install is the much safer way to have a dependable system.  Here's a user tip on OS and FCP installation
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2861
    I'd also recommend creating a bootable clone of your startup drive before doing any os upgrades or application installations or upgrades.  That way if things go south, you can easily return to the previous working system.

  • Final Cut Studio license invalid after upgrading to Leopard?

    Hello,
    After upgrading to Leopard 10.5.1, Final Cut Studio v5.1.4 and its companion apps like DVD Studio 4 do not recognize my FC Studio License as valid. I input the license key and it says:
    "Licensing Error
    This application cannot continue because the licensing data is corrupt."
    I am a licensed user via the FC Studio Crossgrade since 2006 and all has been fine with Tiger before Leopard.
    I have used Disk Utility to "repair permissions". I have removed the FC files from the Preferences folder to give it a clean start.
    PERHAPS A HINT?:
    So I tried to re-install FC Studio 5.1 from the FC Install DVD and I get this message after inputting the key:
    "Alert
    Licensing Error: The license file will not be written to disk because the user does not have enough privileges."
    I have Administrator privileges on this account and I even tried to install it as 'root' and the same error occurs.
    Is there a file that I need to change permissions on?
    THANKS for any help here! And happy holidays.
    Bonafide

    Hi,
    Unfortunately there is also an issue with installing FCS2 on a brand new installation with Leopard and this licensing error.
    "Alert Licensing Error: The license file will not be written to disk because the user does not have enough privileges."
    This also occurs, apparently, that if you are logged in with an Active Directory user with Admin privileges it still will not let you install the product keys.
    This is much the same as a problem with Adobe CS3 products, only the updates work when you are logged in with a local admin - not an Active Directory Admin.
    Both these problems are really really annoying for those on corporate networks - such as myself.
    For my problem, I had to log out as my AD account, login as a local admin and then install the software. .
