Final Cut Studio install question
I have a dual 2.0 G5 that I bought used a while ago and it had Final Cut 5 installed on it. I just bought Final Cut Studio 2 and when I install I can see that it is upgrading most of the components. Is there a way to uninstall the earlier version and do a clean install of my new FCS2? Or is letting it upgrade the previous owners version okay? I think I would feel better knowing my nice new software bundle was being installed cleanly?
Also, I plan on installing this on my PowerBook. What steps should I take to have the audio/template content get installed on an external drive. I only have 27Gigs available on the internal drive of my laptop.
Thanks in advance,
Keith -

First, try out the installation over the top of FCP 5.1, as it seems to work just fine for the vast majority of users. If you sense issues you can always do a clean install.
FCS2 does take up lots of room on the system drive. When installing the content you do are given the option of installing on drives other than the system drive.

Thanks David for the quick response. I found out how to do it when installing on my laptop. Unfortunately I had already started the install on my desktop. I am in the process of moving all the content onto an external drive on my desktop. I’m hoping I can just point Soundtrack Pro, Motion, DVD Studio Pro, and LiveType to the new location without having to do another install.
