If an application is not selected, your hardware does not meet the minimum system requirements for that application. You can hold the pointer over any of these applications to see specific requirements that your system does not meet. You can select any of these applications and install them; however, they may not open or operate properly. Note: You may need to expand the window and drag the edge of the Package Name heading to show the full names of some items. Important: If you are upgrading from a previous Final Cut Studio installation, you may find that you cannot deselect some of the applications. To avoid compatibility issues, the Final Cut Studio installer requires you to update all existing Final Cut Studio applications to the version included with Final Cut Studio 2. You are, however, still able to choose whether or not to install the content for these applications by clicking the disclosure triangles and selecting or deselecting the checkboxes. 12 Optionally, click the folder icons in the Location column and then choose Other from the pop-up menu to choose a custom location for the content. See "Installing Content" on page 9 for information about installing content and choosing custom locations for items that allow it. 13 After you have configured the Custom Install pane, click Install or Upgrade. Important: You may see the Upgrade option even on computers that do not have previous versions of the Final Cut Studio applications installed. This is because the installer has detected at least one file on your system in common with the files it installs, and is considered normal. 14 A message appears listing the discs required to complete the installation. 15 A dialog appears requiring you to authenticate yourself by typing your name and password. The installer displays a progress bar to indicate its status and prompts you to insert specific discs to continue the installation. 8 Note: You will need to insert the Final Cut Studio installation disc again to finish the installation. Warning: The discs you insert while installing Final Cut Studio include their own individual installers, which the Finder displays. Do not click anything in a disc's Finder window; instead, only follow the Final Cut Studio installer's prompts. Starting an individual disc's installer while the Final Cut Studio installer is still running may cause an incomplete Final Cut Studio installation and may require you to start again. After you have finished the installation, you are ready to begin using the Final Cut Studio applications. Installing Content Many of the Final Cut Studio applications include additional content, such as templates, fonts, and audio content, that you can choose to install. About the Content Following is a brief description of the content included with each of the Final Cut Studio applications, along with the default installation locations. In most cases, you can also choose custom locations to place this content, such as a second hard disk or a custom folder.
