Unable to download the update to Final Cut Pro X
Hi, I wonder if anyone else has this problem and has found a work around. I've been able to upgrade Motion and Compressor with the latest updates through the App Store, however, although Final Cut Pro X shows up as an available update, it won't download for me, and the message is that I already have it installed, although its showing as an update in the App store, and I haven't got the updated version installed. I've tried holding down option keys, etc. Anything else I can try?

Yes, a few times. You can also choose an update from within Final Cut Pro X, and I tried that as well.

Sometimes with Software I've found that removing the Receipt for that particular item can help it as well. In 10.6 these are stored at /var/db/receipts (Easiest way to get there is from the Go menu in Finder and Go to folder. I assume it may be the same with Lion. If you then remove the plist file for com.apple.finalcutx (or similar) to the desktop then delete it from that folder and try the install again. i've sometime found that works.

Re: final cut pro
Morning Daniel, AVID is offering %60 of Media Composer for FCP customers. Pro level application compatibility not an issue. Expensive Plug-Ins, but it is a pro app. Premier from Adobe as another Alternative. It does now function within OS X very well, although Graphics Acceleration is Nvidia based which for some within Mac community an issue. Does allow all versions of FCP to be imported and utilised. FCP X will not revisit old projects. Adobe now offering a %50 rebate, for FCS users. I have found Adobe Enterprise License tedious, but they are a Pro-App? I do not use Premier Pro, but have worked at installations whom do. Improved with 5.5. I personally use FCS 2 with Apple products and many plug-ins , and lots of Clips collected footage and projects. Massive Database! This being a main reason for not upgrading to FCP X, as with community Apple Shake in this collection also. But I have been moving to AVID over past year or so as Apple did hint at not continuing FCS2. As Matthew so eloquently put PRO-SUMER is market base. Recently Apple has not been so loyal to those which have supported company, but we endure. I suppose one reason for going to Intel, allowing users to instal and run alternatives to those Apple has rejected. Premier Pro seems to be best all in one solution, 64bit so extremely fast with lots of ram, After Effects excellent program. I would suggest any body looking at alternatives to download trial versions first, investigate total upgrade. Especially with Avid... many plug-ins, and software packages to make complete studio. Beware of ongoing upgrade costs with all software packages, especially AVID plug-ins some have annuities? Cheers! `RobD.. On 09Jul2011, at 10:49 pm, Daniel Kerr wrote: LOL... Have to pay that one.

I'm exploring FCP X (and Motion and Compressor) and finding that it's excellent, intuitive and powerful so far, with plenty of upside promised/rumoured. I'm creating camera archives of all my digital DV tapes through its archiving procedure which is just a little flaky (sometimes the process 'hangs' at the last clip on the tape; sometimes it doesn't). The archives are 'skimmable' through FCP X which opens up a whole new world of video that I'd forgotten I had. I think it's going to be a great product, but I agree that the big film/TV producers have been left high and dry and are shouting loudly. The 'support' discussion groups are ringing with shrill comments about the end of civilisation as they know it... But the products worth trying out...you can still run earlier versions of Final Cut (Pro and Express), although the installation will move your old Final Cut Pro to a new folder. You'll need to keep these old versions, especially if you need to rework projects. FCP X won't open existing Final Cut projects, but will open .mov files (and many others), so you can always export a Final Cut project as a .mov file and open it with FCP X.

Re: final cut pro
Hi Rob Thanks for that. Yes, was aware of the alternatives and had mentioned those to others. They're happy to stay with FCS2 at the moment as well Kind regards Daniel On 10/7/11 9:06 PM, Rob Davies rjda...@gmail.com wrote: Morning Daniel, AVID is offering %60 of Media Composer for FCP customers. Pro level application compatibility not an issue. Expensive Plug-Ins, but it is a pro app. Premier from Adobe as another Alternative. It does now function within OS X very well, although Graphics Acceleration is Nvidia based which for some within Mac community an issue. Does allow all versions of FCP to be imported and utilised. FCP X will not revisit old projects. Adobe now offering a %50 rebate, for FCS users. I have found Adobe Enterprise License tedious, but they are a Pro-App? I do not use Premier Pro, but have worked at installations whom do. Improved with 5.5. I personally use FCS 2 with Apple products and many plug-ins , and lots of Clips collected footage and projects. Massive Database! This being a main reason for not upgrading to FCP X, as with community Apple Shake in this collection also. But I have been moving to AVID over past year or so as Apple did hint at not continuing FCS2. As Matthew so eloquently put PRO-SUMER is market base. Recently Apple has not been so loyal to those which have supported company, but we endure. I suppose one reason for going to Intel, allowing users to instal and run alternatives to those Apple has rejected. Premier Pro seems to be best all in one solution, 64bit so extremely fast with lots of ram, After Effects excellent program. I would suggest any body looking at alternatives to download trial versions first, investigate total upgrade. Especially with Avid... many plug-ins, and software packages to make complete studio. Beware of ongoing upgrade costs with all software packages, especially AVID plug-ins some have annuities? Cheers! `RobD.. On 09Jul2011, at 10:49 pm, Daniel Kerr wrote: LOL... Have to pay that one.

Ronni's solution, as always, is elegant. Alternatively, I have an encrypted, password protected disk image of a Word document which gives a very flexible way of saving all sorts of useful and important information securely in brief or at length. On receiving any serial number or necessary code, I immediately enter it. As a double check, I do copy and then paste into the application or whatever when requested at install, and of course I also keep the originals if convenient.

Hi guys, I wrote about a month ago, about my mac book pro, having a logic board failure. We are living in China, my wife took the MBP back to perth and apple replaced the logic board, no problem, all is working fine. but upon arriving back in China and setting up to begin editing again in final cut pro, the preferences seem to be reset, and it is asking for the license number to start final cut pro. which would be fine, but we did not anticipate this, and our final cut pro packaging is back in perth in storage, which is quite an oversight, but we are now kinda of stuck, and dont seem to have an easy way to get our license number. I was wondering if any one knew if we can contact apple and they can resend us our license number. We also do not have the receipt of pruchase here, but we do have our apple care details, and the program, and computer, were all bought from the apple store in australia over the phone. Does it seem feasible that apple would be able to help us in this circumstances, or does it look like we will need to inconvenience a friend to sort through all our stuff in storage and try find the relevant details? thanks for your time.

Hi Pete, others. Why should replacing a logic board invalidate a serial number? Surely the serial number is hidden in a preference file somewhere, which currently can't be accessed. Could it be a permissions thing? Ronni, you're the expert on this...

We also do not have the receipt of pruchase here, but we do have our apple care details, and the program, and computer, were all bought from the apple store in australia over the phone. Does it seem feasible that apple would be able to help us in this circumstances, or does it look like we will need to inconvenience a friend to sort through all our stuff in storage and try find the relevant details? thanks for your time.

Re: Final cut pro license # isues.
Hi Rob Some high end software, such as Final Cut Pro and Adobe CS software links itself to the computer's hardware. So once this changes, it then needs to re-verify itself, that the correct software is on the correct machine with the correct person. (otherwise software could be just copied from one hard drive to another. This is the situation here. A change in hardware needs to re-verify itself. For what it's worth, Peter, it may pay to call Apple and explain the situation. I've had similar happen with clients and Adobe software. The hard drive died, got a new hard drive for the client and then we called Adobe to get it sorted out. It took a little while to work through it, but it got sorted out in the end quite easily. So yes, I would certainly give them a call and explain the problem to them. If it's originally been registered, they may have the serial on file. Hope that helps.

Re: Final cut pro license # isues.
Hi Peter, I had two Logic Boards fail in my previous 17 MacBook Pro and experienced having to install and re-validate and add serial numbers for quite a few applications. Fortunately I keep all my Serial Numbers, passwords etc in my Keychain … Applications Utilities Keychain Access.app And as I also have a good Backup Strategy, all this is backed up as well. So it is never a problem locating my serial numbers.

DV tape capture with Final Cut Pro ?
Hi folks, I have spent ages trying to figure this one out. I have even bought the missing manual and still cannot figure it. When capturing video from a Mini DV Camcorder how do you get the clips separated ? Each time I run capture I get one huge 1 hour clip for each tape !! Surely you don't have to set IN and OUT points for every individual clip ?

Re: DV tape capture with Final Cut Pro ?
Thank you Rod. I should have read on about 40 more pages in the book. Being an iMovie user I thought this had to happen during capture. In FCE it is activated after capture is complete. Thanks once again mate !!

Final Cut Pro users
Hi I am having what appear to be a few problems with FCP 3. Having moved up from iMovie I am finding the going tough. I have the user manuals and some tutorial disc/ books but just don't seem to be able to master it. I was wondering if there is any one in the group that uses FCP regularly, who would let me sit with them for a couple of hours to let me see the application being used, to enable me to get some idea of how it actually is supposed to work properly? Thanks. Matt Falvey Noranda
Final Cut Pro 4 and DVD Studio Pro 2
Oddly enough, there is no mention of the OS requirements anywhere. It does say QuickTime 6.1, so that would most likely exclude Mac OS 9 (ie QuickTime 6.0.2). Requires a DVD drive for installation, so that will also exclude a lot of Macs. From: http://www.macnn.com/news/19015 Apple today introduced Final Cut Pro 4, a major update to its editing software for film, HD, SD and DV. Packed with more than 300 new features, Final Cut Pro 4 introduces RT Extreme, for real-time composting and effects, powerful new interface customization tools, new high-quality 8- and 10-bit uncompressed formats and for the first time in an editing system costing less than $100,000, full 32-bit floating point per channel video processing. Final Cut Pro 4 also includes three completely new integrated applications-LiveType for advanced titling, Soundtrack for music creation and Compressor for full featured batch transcoding. Version 4 is a $400 upgrade ($1000 for new users). Apple also announced DVD Studio Pro 2, a completely new DVD authoring product, rebuilt from the ground up with a breakthrough user interface and packed with innovative features that redefine professional DVD authoring. It includes professionally designed and fully customizable templates, an innovative new menu editor, timeline-based track editing and a new world-class, and a software-based MPEG-2 encoder. DVD Studio Pro 2 will be available in August. If you purchase DVD Studio Pro 1.5 ($500) after April 6, you're eligible to update to DVD Studio Pro 2 through Apple's up-to-date program. Finally, Apple revealed Shake 3, the next generation of its industry-leading compositing and visual effects software. Shake 3 includes new Mac OS X only features such as the Shake Qmaster network render management software and unlimited network rendering licenses which allow visual effects artists to easily distribute rendering tasks across a cluster of Apple's Xserve 1U rack servers or desktop Power Mac G4 computers for maximum performance and efficiency. Shake 3 also includes new visual effects features available to Mac OS X, Linux and IRIX customers including motion-tracking and real-time broadcast preview. Shake 3 will be available for Mac OS X from a Professional Film Reseller for $5,000, and for Linux and IRIX for $10,000 with an annual maintenance of $1,500.

In all honesty, it will run on Macs that it *should* be run on. All halfway decent Macs have DVD drives... which basically answers the question. It is also OSX only. The stuff that FCP 4 does would bring OS9 to a streaming grinding death. - Matt -- 0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0 Matt Healey [EMAIL PROTECTED]
