A clean install is a much much much better option. FCP installs things on the system level and those things don’t migrate well at all.

[Dennis Radeke] “While FCP does employ ProRes for much of it’s overall workflow, Premiere Pro can read any and all of those files”
Unfortunately ProRes is NOT used by all editors, I’m actually willing to bet that most people using FCP are not taking advantage of it.
[Dennis Radeke] “Premiere can pretty much read any codec that is available on a Mac system”
There are actually some vary popular codecs used by FCP that Premiere cannot read. DVCProHD, Apple Intermediate Codec, and the codec that Apple uses for native HDV for example ONLY come with FCP, and are NOT available for windows.

A bigger issue may be the codec that the video is in. Some of FCP’s codecs are only avalible with FCP. So there is a chance the video files may not play on a machine that does not have FCP.
What format of video is it?

In system preferences turn off time machine. Then use disk utility to reformat the drive.

Use FCS Remover to uninstall the whole studio and then reinstall. I have found it best to remove all of them together because as Jeremy says they are all connected to each other.

Nope those things cannot be changed.

A SSD will only give you a noticeable speed improvement when turning the machine on or when you launch a program. Programs like FCP and AE are processor and RAM intence, so once the prigram is open and running your processor speed and the amount of ram you have are going to determine how fast the program can do things.
So like I said a SSD is NOT going to speed things up when editing or doing motion graphics.

[Eric Hansen] “i think i might take my MBP 2.33 with 3GB of RAM and add an SSD to make it quicker”
Maxing out the ram will definitely help video editing, but I adding a solid state drive will not do much for video editing. The reason for that is your media is still going to need to be on an external drive, so while yes a SSD will make a computer boot faster, all your large heavy media files will NOT be on that drive and therefor will not be able to take advantage of it.

[Annu Lilja] “I have a 10-minute HD sequence”
[Annu Lilja] “small enough for e-mailing”
[Annu Lilja] “preferably less than 100 MB”A 100 MB file is WAY to big for email. Most email providers will not allow you to send or receive anything larger then 10mb. Also most people will hate you for sending an attachment of 10MB because it will lock up the persons email for quite some time. With the 10mb size limit, unfortunately there is no way you are going to get a 10 minute video down to that size with any decent quality, especially not at the HD quality you want.
