  final cut install

  Posted by Emilio D’aleo on January 4, 2011 at 3:38 pm

  hi..

  I recently bought a mac book pro 15” and I transfered the datas from another machine (imac 27″), including the final cut application.. When I start the final cut from the mac book pro, a window pops up saying “Unable to locate the following external device: Digital Cinema Desktop Preview-main. Your system configuration may have changed, or your deck/camera may be disconnected or turned off. Please check your connection and click check again, or click continue to set external device selection to none”.. When I click continue final cuts crashes down.. does this depend on the differences between the two machines or is it the Final Cut itself? How can i fix the problem?
  Thank you..

  Pro Apps like Final Cut Studio do NOT migrate will. because they put some things into the system files and migrations just move user data and the contents of the apps folder but not system files.

  Use FCP remover to remove the Final Cut Studio from the machine and then install fresh from the install disks.
