Upgrade to Studio 5.1
Hey all,
I’ve tried searching for this, but can’t find the right results.
When upgrading a station to FCP 5.1, is there any need to re-install DVD Studio Pro, Soundtrack Pro, Motion etc (any of the apps that don’t come up as “upgrade” in the list on the installer? I think it was just Final Cut, Compressor and Cinema Tools that have been upgraded on the new disc set.
Thanks,

Do the whole enchalada. Actualy they all came with new discs anyway, at least they did on my crossgrade. The entire Studio has been rewritten in universal binary code and all future upgrades will be in that code. Its worth the time to know that you have the complete compatible set installed and working together.

Keith,
Assuming you did a crossgrade from FCS (can you even crossgrade just a standalone copy of FCP?), you should have gotten new install discs for each piece of software in the suite. So I guess the short answer is YES, you need to run the installer for all of the apps (Motion, Soundtrack Pro, DVDSP), not just fro FCP and it’s old cronies. I imagine you could run into compatibility problems pretty quickly if you don’t since the new versions (FCP for sure) have updated file formats.You should have 4 install discs to upgrade from… if your only have the one, then something may have gone awry for you along the way.
Hope that helps,

Thanks. I got word from a friend at apple that there are minor modifications to all the apps. I’ve made disc images and put them on a firewire 800 drive. 2 stations down ~ 30 to go!
