Wont let me open final cut studio-missing hardware

when i try to open final cut studio a message comes up saying missing hardware 512mb ram, but i have this on my computer.
do i need more ram?
what will make it work?
any help would be greatfully appreciated

Welcome to the forums.
Yes, you need more RAM. FCP needs MINIMUM 512 MB Ram, and your system right now is taking up half of what you have. 1.5GB is the min RAM I recommend for running FCP. 2.5GB to be comfortable...3.5GB to be stylin'.

  • Can't open final cut studio 2 project in final cut pro 5.0.4

    My color corrector has the new Final Cut Studio 2. I still have version 5.0.4
    I can't open the project file he returned to me. I'm guessing its because we have different versions. 5.0.4 is the latest patch for me, right?
    Furthermore, a friend of mine has final cut studio 2 and opened the project for me. He exported an xml file and told me i should be able to import that and view the project file. When I open it all the media files are offline.
    Do I HAVE to upgrade to Final Cut studio 2 to be able to view these project files?
    thanks,
    ben

    Reconnect the offline media and life should be good.
    Still, the best solution is for everyone involved with the project to be using the same version of FCP/Color.

  • Can't open Final Cut Studio 2010 upgrade from Apple page

    Hi all
    I'm setting up a new MacBook Pro, running Lion, after being away from video editing for a while. And not having a more techie person around to help. So after checking  forums I installed Final Cut Studio 3.00 off disk.
    Thought I'd better add the Apple 2010 update at: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL949  But after downloading it several times I can't open the dmg - it gives an error message: saying 'can't open .. invalid checksum'. Also - with Lion can only format the external drive as OS Extended Journalled. I'm just doing a short doco - using some footage off tape.
    So I'm hoping someone can help - does it matter not having the update? Will the drive be able to cope in Journalled format?

    Thanks Nick
    Tried that & it does also bring up  a few other updates. But it still goes to the link to download the update dmg - which can't be opened.  Good news is that FCP seems to be working fine for what I'm doing now - which is capturing off tape & editing. Still, Iwouldn't mind updating though.
    Sorry for slow reply but been having Applle ID problems, but that's another story.

  • Opening Final Cut Studio 3 Projects on Mac Pro (Snow Leopard) & MacBook Pro (Lion)

    Hi Everyone,
    Right i've been trawling the forums in regards to Lion's compatibility with Final Cut Studio 3. There seemed to be a mixed bag of reports, some running FCP fine on Lion, others having issues.
    For this reason alone I decided to keep my main editing system, my Mac Pro, running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and not upgrade to Lion.
    More and more frequently i've thought I need to get myself a MacBook Pro, for data wrangling on location and for some cheeky edit sessions when i'm away on jobs.
    The thing is, all new MacBook Pros ship with Lion as their OS.
    My question is twofold really. Firstly, I've read that Final Cut Studio 3 installs and runs fine on Lion systems, can anyone confirm this?
    Secondly, do any of you know if i'll be able to swap between, and freely work on projects across the two different systems, namely a Mac Pro running Snow Leopard and a MacBook Pro running Lion? is this an issue at all?
    The last thing I want to do is spend three grand on a MacBook and then realise I have issues opening or working on projects from my MacPro (or vise-vesa)
    As ever, your help would be greatly appreciated...
    Thanks in advance,
    Scott

    I've read that Final Cut Studio 3 installs and runs fine on Lion systems, can anyone confirm this?
    Yes, FCS 3 installs and runs without issue on my Lion system.
    There are a couple of careats however  with the primary one being  DO A CLEAN INSTALL OF THE OS AND THE APPS. Upgrade installs over major version changes are problematic.
    do any of you know if i'll be able to swap between, and freely work on projects across the two different systems, namely a Mac Pro running Snow Leopard and a MacBook Pro running Lion? is this an issue at all?
    Again, not an issue in my world.

  • 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.

  • I am trying to install Final cut pro studio V1.0.1 (2005) on OS X lion. I get a message "You can't open the application final cut studio.mpkg because power pc application are no longer supported

    I am trying to install Final cut pro 5 studio V1.0.1 (2005) on OS X lion. I get a message "You can't open the application final cut studio.mpkg because power pc application are no longer supported. My computer is New. Is their a link I can go to get tech support?

    You won't find any help at tech support ... other than telling you the facts: Intel processor Macs require FCP 5.1 or higher.  FCP 5.0 and earlier were written for PowerPC processor Macs, long before Apple switched to using Intel processors.
    And then there's the issue of the OS.  OS 7 will allow FCP 7 (and sometimes even FCP 6) to work OK, but versions earlier than that have spotty operation on Lion.
    Here's a brief history of full FCP versions and recommended OS compatibility:
    * = requires PPC             ** = works with both PPC and Intel                          *** = require Intel
    FCP 1.0*       OS 9
    FCP 2.0*       OS 9
    FCP 3.0*       OS 9, OS 10.1, OS 10.2
    FCP 4.0*       OS 10.2, 10.3
    FCP 4.5*       OS 10.3
    FCP 5.0*       OS 10.3 (OS 10.4?)
    FCP 5.1**     OS 10.4, 10.5
    FCP 6.0**     OS 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 (OS 10.7?)
    FCP 7.0***    OS 10.6, OS 10.7
    FCP-X***       OS 10.6, OS 10.7
    Essentially, you have a newer Intel processor Mac with a new OS and very old, incompatible software.   You might be able to find a used version of Final Cut Studio 3 on sites like ebay or craigslist as it is no longer offered by Apple as an upgrade.
    Alternatively, you could purchase and download FCP-X, but it is an entirely different application, sharing virtually nothing with previous versions of FCP.

  • Why won't my final cut studio 2 open on my iMac

    Why won't my final cut studio 2 open on my iMac after I have installed all the disc?

    Nope.
    Just download Preference Manager (Free) from Digital Rebellion at:
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
    It will allow you to archive your current settings before you trash them, in case you want to return to them for some reason.
    Then trash your preferences and restart Final Cut.
    It will see there are no existing preference and will create a fresh set.
    Hopefully this will allow you to compete the launch.

  • Open Final Cut Express 4 project in Final Cut Studio 2?

    We just upgraded our field laptop to FCE 4 and our workstations to Final Cut Studio 2. Now our machines are telling us we can't open documents from the laptop on our Studio machines. Isn't Studio 2 newer than FCE 4? Do we have any options here, other than to roll back the version of FCE on our laptop?
    Thanks,
    Clint F

    Thanks for the pointer, tallguy. I just got done with all the Pro App updates and the project opens fine in FCP. If I'd installed the updates before trying to load that project file, I'd have never noticed a thing!

  • Final Cut Studio apps not opening on your Intel Mac - Universal Prokit?

    Motion and other Final Cut Studio applications stopped opening on my Intel iMac, and the problem was that the Prokit.framework file wasn't universal binary. I did some Google-ing and found this topic regarding the universal Prokit.framework file.
    http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=15003&st=0
    Find the Rapidshare link and download it. Follow the instructions in that topic.
    Enjoy! I hope it solves the problem for you!

    didn'y know there was such a big 'underground' FCP on a PC faction ...< </div>
    Sheesh, now we have to completely restructure our knee-jerk responses to "Is there a PC version of Final Cut?" posts.

  • Final Cut Studio asks for serial number EVERY time I open a program

    I recently purchased Final Cut Studio 2, and every time I open a program (Motion, FCP, Compressor, etc.) it asks me to put in my name and serial number.
    What gives?

  • FINAL CUT STUDIO APPS. WONT ALLOW UPDATE

    HI,
    I HAVE FINAL CUT STUDIO 5.0 INSTALLED IN MY MAC PRO. I DOWNLOADED ALL UPDATES (FINAL CUT 5.1.2, ETC) WHEN I GO TO INSTALL, IT SAYS IT CANT FIND ANY PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF FINAL CUT INSTALLED , EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE RIGHT THERE IN MY APPLICATION FOLDER....

    THANKS

    the upgrade from 5.0.x to 5.1 is not a downloadable upgrade. Search the forum for "cross-grade."

  • Final Cut studio wont install!!!!!!

    Okay everyone,
    I need help. I just bought Final Cut Studio 5.1....and it won't install. I think it is because it requires Mac OS X v. 10.4.4 and my PowerPC G4 has Mac OS X 10.3.9. So how do i obtain this updated version, and would this be the only reason why it is not installing?
    Also, if I install Final Cut on my computer, can I install it in other computers? (For example, if I buy a new computer after I already installed the program in this one)
    Thank you and Please help soon!!!
    PowerPC G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    That is precisely the reason. You need to upgrade to Tiger, which means that you need to purchase the OS update from Apple.
    As for installing on other computers, the license agreement states that you can install it on (1) G5 tower and (1) Mac Laptop provided they are owned by the same party and will not be used at the same time. This is to allow editors to edit on one station in the office, and another when on the road.
    Other than that...one license per machine...so one copy of FCP per machine.

  • Final Cut Studio 6 won't open

    I had a problem with a lot of apps not opening but i did an archive and install and that seemed to fix the problem. But today i tried opening final cut, and it would bounce once in the dock, and would not open. I tried soundtrack pro and Motion and it did the same thing. Other apps work fine. Anyone know what might be happening?
    Thanks in advance

  • 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.
