https://www.apple.com/universal/crossgrade/ indicates it’s $199 to upgrade from 4.5 to Final Cut Studio.

Walter – if you’re doing 3-way CC, is applying the Broadcast Safe filter really necessary? Or is it just to insure you didn’t miss something?

Thanks, David, for that quick response. I’ll give it a try.

Do what Jeremy suggested, just hold down the Control key; when you’re where you want to be, release the mouse before releasing the Control key. That should do it. Hope that helps.

My Quicktime Pro doesn’s have an MPEG-2 output option. BUT if you have FCP then you have Compressor – and that’ll do it for you. Hope that helps…

I never said you couldn’t import a pre-compressed file to encode in Squeeze, I’m just telling you what the help files say:
“How does Sorenson Squeeze 4 work with my editing tool (i.e. Adobe Premiere, Apple iMovie, Apple Final Cut Pro, or Avid Xpress)?
Users can bring video into Sorenson Squeeze directly, or they can edit the video in a popular editing tool and then bring the video source files into Sorenson Squeeze. If an editing tool is used, the video needs to be exported as a reference movie or exported uncompressed before it is brought into Sorenson Squeeze. ”Granted, this is a little confusing, but I’m not making this stuff up – that’s what it says. Read the help files in your version of Squeeze if you don’t believe me…

Actually, Squeeze wants an UNcompressed movie to encode. I just ‘Export to QT Movie’ using a ‘Custom” setting, with compression set to “None”. The files are HUGE but the results are worth it. Hope that helps…

If you haven’t yet, bump up the ‘Still Cache’ [in the ‘Memory & Cache’ tab under ‘System Settings’] – that’s why it’s there.
If you’ve never done this, try 30-50% and see if that makes a noticeable difference – you’ll know.
Good luck.

Just one more piece of advice: Always buy RAM with a LIFETIME guarantee. Then you can sleep a little better at night instead of wondering if you got TOO good a deal…

There are instructions for uninstalling Final Cut Pro 4 at https://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301182 . Whether this gets all the FCP 5 files, I don’t know, but there are definitely files you need to delete that don’t have the string “Final Cut Pro” in them…might give it a try. Hope it helps.
