Installing Final Cut Studio
When you install Final Cut Studio, its applications are placed in the Applications folder
on your startup disk. You can choose whether the content for each application (such as
templates) is placed in the default location or in a custom location.
Important: Refer to the Before You Install Final Cut Studio document on the
Final Cut Studio installation disc for a list of minimum system requirements for the

Final Cut Studio installation disc. After you finish installing that disc, you then continue
installing Final Cut Studio by inserting each of the remaining discs when prompted.
