Hi, i have it down to a science on how to install the entire final cut studio 3 on to a powermac g5 quad or down to a Powermac G5 2.0 I call it the 105 steps to final solution.

Funny the hardest part was figuring out how to run in real time mode and not in safe mode in HD.

The answer would kind of come from searching through thousand of files and also steve jobs biography bless his heat and his diabolical ways, the book gave me a hint.

I have tested it out now on many computers and I got it to perfection.

I would like to thank everyone who found a piece of the puzzle, but than I would have to thank about 105 people as it was a puzzle of a lifetime ,

If anyone is still interested in getting it done right, give me a buzz and I will set you up on the road to the studio magic.

okay, thats very interesting 4 me. just on this hard topic i´m exasperating…
the hardware ist also an dual G5 ppc 2,5 GHz with liquid cooling… fcp is running but no way with the old hdv codec, no realtime, no import, export, only native projects are functional.. but for older projects is this rubbish.. an never mac is not possible cause the apple xserver-raid on it have apple-like-special interface-cards in pci which are no longer available for intel-macs cause they have only pci-express interfaces 🙁
if you have some instruction for my problem, maybe per mail or her? that´s great!

I also have Final Cut Studio 3 on a G5 working fine. Only problem is I have to enter my serial number every time I reboot. I looked for an id file in pro apps but none exists. Any help would be appreciated.

THIS IS TRICKY SO TAKE A BREAK. J

First drag off the Houdini folder on to the desktop , than double click it. You should see this.

YOU WILL NEED THE HOUDINI APP TO REVEAL THE INVISIBLE FOLDER .

CLICK ON THE REVEAL BUTTON AND FIND THE HARD DRIVE YOU HAVE YOUR APPS ON.
SCROLL DOWN TO THE TMP FILE

NOW DRAG OR COPY THE ProAppsSytemID on to the Desktop.

Than close Houdini and were done with that program. We just needed that License File

Now, go to /Library/Application Support/ProApps place the file you copied from the /TEMP folder here.

Just drop it in by dragging it over the the ProApps folder and the LICENSE MYSTERY IS SOLVED. 😉
