The aluminum Apple Keyboard (2007) includes additional media keys and newly-labeled keys which may seem to replace the functionality of certain application-specific function keys, such as the F10 function "Overwrite Edit" in Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Express.


In Final Cut Pro 6.0.2, snapping may become enabled when it's not desired if you hold the Option key while dragging an edit point in the Timeline.

On computers with Mac OS X 10.4, Final Cut Pro 6 may quit unexpectedly while you're using the Log and Transfer window to transfer media from Panasonic P2 cards. If you have multiple P2 volumes mounted simultaneously, the likelihood of this happening may increase.


When you capture footage from an HDV camera using Final Cut Pro, the image displayed in the capture window may lag slightly behind the image displayed on the camera. This is normal and does not indicate any issue with Final Cut Pro or your camera.


If you create a project using Final Cut Studio on a computer with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and then open that project in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, in some cases you may see a message like the following (as seen in Final Cut Pro):...

Final Cut Server

The following are AppleCare technical documents and are considered the "definitive" answer to your Final Cut Server problem. That is if the answer you are looking for is in one of these docs. We will continue to add to this list as Apple adds to the list.



When you attempt to log in to a Final Cut Server you may encounter the following alerts:


Final Cut Server 1.5: Blu-ray and AVCHD output options only available in Compressor 3.5 with Final Cut Studio (2009)
Final Cut Server 1.5 includes Compressor 3.5 and although the Compressor User Manual refers to Blu-ray and AVCHD output options, Blu-ray and AVCHD output options are only available with Final Cut Studio (2009).


Final Cut Server uses configuration data which refers to the administrative user that installed the software. This configuration data contains the User ID (UID) which is different than the username of the administrative user. There may be situations where the Final Cut Server configuration data does not match any existing UIDs of local administrative users, such as:


When you connect to Final Cut Server to download the Java Web Start file using a web browser, the webpage may display a message such as "File not found!" or "Object not found!" The Final Cut Server installer will only install web server components to the default web site included with Mac OS X Server.


Final Cut Server requires specific TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) ports to be open on your server. If you have a firewall configured or you are using the Mac OS X Server firewall, you must enable these ports before you can use Final Cut Server.
