Desperately looking for Pro Applications Update 2008‑04 / 05

[Rafael Amador]

Hi Toby,
I guess you just need the Shake4.1 Update pkg.
Drop me a mail; nagavision at nagavideo dot com.
Old school is the best 🙂

Hi,
Both are on the apple support site.
https://support.apple.com/downloads/Pro_Apps_Updates_2008_004

Either will get you to 4.1.1
They only get you the last .1 rev. You already have to be at Shake 4.1 for them to work. If you bought an earlier version of Shake like 4.0, you’ll have to find the paid update to get to 4.1.
The only real thing the .1 final rev does is fix the render out noise bug. There is a workaround to get a noise free Prores file out if you’re in a bind and can’t get to 4.1.1.

That bug affected not just to Prores.
Any stuff with more than 8b got corrupted.

Just for the curiosity, can you explain it?
That bug drove me nuts for a couple of years.

Thank you Rafael, I have emailed you.

FYI Scott the download links on the apple links you sent haven’t worked for a while )-:

Thanks guys,

[Rafael Amador] “Just for the curiosity, can you explain it?”

That was a while back, and my memory might be somewhat fuzzy, but I’m pretty sure all of the non-QT format outputs still rendered out OK and the 10 bit bug was limited to QT formats.
Two-step output. Usually export image sequence, then converted that to PR422.
There were some other wonky things in 4.1, so 4.1.1, is definitely the way to go.

My bad, I tried the links, which worked, but I didn’t hit download since I already had these files on my HD. Now I see what the problem is. I know a friend of mine got 2008-04 from somewhere not that long ago. I wonder if the updates have been moved somewhere else, or if there is a mirror site somewhere hosting them?

Slightly OT.
Yet another thing where apple totally lacks any cred. Here they are, big promoters of ‘the cloud’, and they can’t bother to archive these tiny support files. It’s this type of thing that makes me distrust online archival, in favor of my local HD. At least if I lose the file on my end, I know who to blame.
I don’t see what the point of taking these files off the support site is. Is apple really that hard up for HD space? And if your going to take down the support files, why leave the info page and download link up?

Absolutely agree with you Scott.
They are simply mean. What do they try, to save a couple of GBs on their system, or screw FCP users?

Good to know that, Dave, and thanks.
I keep in my HD the 2007/2008 PAUs.
The kids at Apple probably have free Internet access, but here I pay 3US$ per GB.
