Content items that you can place in a custom location have a folder icon in the
Location column of the Custom Install pane. You can choose the location to place the
content by clicking this folder.
Installing Content When Upgrading
If you are upgrading from a previous Final Cut Studio installation, there are a few
situations you need to be aware of.
New Default Content Locations
The default content locations used for Final Cut Studio 2 content have changed to a
more centrally located folder. When you install Final Cut Studio 2, the installer checks
to see if the previous content is in the previous default location. If previous content is
found, it is moved to the new default location.
Important: This may cause issues with opening previously saved DVD Studio Pro
projects that used the content in the previous location. In most cases, you can relink
to the content in its new location.
What Happens with Custom Content Locations?
If you selected a custom location for your content when you installed an earlier version
of Final Cut Studio, there are two things that can happen when you install the
Final Cut Studio 2 content:
 If you enter the same custom content location you used when you installed the previous
version of Final Cut Studio: The Final Cut Studio 2 installer will recognize the content
and will leave it at its current location, adding any new content items to that location.
 If you enter a new custom content location or use the default content location: The
Final Cut Studio 2 installer will assume that there is no previously installed content
and will install all the content in the new custom location (if one is specified) or the
default location. This can result in old and new content being on your system in two
locations, using more hard disk space than necessary.
Click the folder icon, then
choose Other from the
pop-up menu to choose
a custom location to
install the content.
Click the disclosure
triangle to show
additional items.
