  FCP X DEMO installation?

  Posted by Neil Goodman on February 7, 2012 at 1:04 am

  i know there was doc floating around from apple that gave instructions on installing final cut x, on the same drive that Final Cut 7 is on but i can’t find it anywhere. I want to see the new multi cam with my own eyes just to give it a test drive.

  can someone point me to the directions on installing on the same drive?

  For some reason they seem to hjave taken it down – this is what it used to say on the subject:

  Install Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5, or Compressor 4 on the same disk as Final Cut Studio (2009)

  If you are unable to install on a separate partition, this is an alternate method.

  From the Apple () menu, choose Software Update. Install the following updates if they appear in the list:
  Mac OS X v10.6.8 or later
  ProKit Update Version 7.0
  The latest versions of the Final Cut Studio (2009) applications
  Purchase Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5, or Compressor 4 from the Mac App Store. The app you purchase will begin downloading automatically, and the app icon will be added to your Dock with a progress bar below the app icon. Once the app is done installing, the progress bar below the app icon will go away.

  When you install Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5, or Compressor 4 on the same startup disk as Final Cut Studio (2009), the Final Cut Studio (2009) applications are moved to a new location (/Applications/Final Cut Studio).
  To verify that the Final Cut Studio (2009) applications operate correctly, open Motion 4, and then quit Motion 4.

  Important: Make sure to open Motion 4 first, before opening any other Final Cut Studio (2009) applications.

  You can now use Final Cut Studio (2009) and Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5, or Compressor 4 on the same system, from the same startup disk.

  Note: Final Cut Server, Podcast Producer, Software Updates for Final Cut Studio (2009), and some third-party workflows and tools may require that the Final Cut Studio (2009) applications remain in their original location in the Applications folder.
