There are more than 100 new features spread over the suite, but here I’ll focus on Final Cut Pro and Compressor. Fear not, however (are you sitting down?): The suite upgrade does enable a modest level of Blu-ray Disc authoring. All suite components were upgraded (to varying degrees) except for DVD Studio Pro-which, as you may recall, wasn’t upgraded in the previous suite either. You can upgrade to the new suite from any previous version, even Final Cut Pro 1.0, for $299.
Inside the "Optional Installs" folder is an "Optional Installs.mpkg" file.By now you’ve heard that there’s a new version of Final Cut Studio shipping from Apple, aptly called “the New Final Cut Studio.” What’s new? Well, it starts with a new price of $999, $300 less than Final Cut Studio 2. Step by step means to install FCP 2 on OSX 10.7 Lion: Then went to my FCP Studio 2 disk and ran the installer, and it worked! It's installing away just fine. Ran that and it installed without complaint. So I scrounged around my archives and found a OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard Disk) and in the Extras folder was an installer for Rosetta. You can install Rosetta from a 10.6 install disk. Lion doesn't include Rosetta, the PowerPC emulator.
FCP6 and 7 will run under Lion but won't install as the installer is based on PowerPC code. A quick search of the internets revealed: I decided to try to reinstall it, but the installer wouldn't work. I was still running a fairly old version of FCP6 since I hadn't found any good reason to upgrade to FCS 3.0 - and with the new "unimproved" Final Cut Pro X, decided to stay where I was.īut my FCP wouldn't run. I updated my desktop a while ago to 10.7 and tried to fire up Final Cut Pro.
