How long roughly does it take in hours to install final cut studio 2
thanks

Hi John about 30 mins max if you are just doing the programmes, if you add on all the content you are best to leave it overnight as it takes forever as it has to unzip all the content.
You can unselect all the content during the install process and just do the programmes, you can then add it on to a different drive at a later stage.
I think the first time I did it not knowing about the content it took about 12 hours.
thanks gary

After loading you will need to get the latest software updates so that all your system is up to date with OSX and the correct version of FCS 2.
The updates are for apple pro app's and you should take your OSX to the latest versions too as that will be the support level.
I just put FCS-1 on an old powerbook G4 with Tiger and was most impressed that it updated to all the correct versions to suit suit the old OSX.
Its great for SD work as I can put the P2 cards straight in and get on with editing for the DVcam level that our local broadcasters are still on.
thanks gary
always appreciated
