11 Customize your installation by selecting and deselecting items in the Custom Install pane.
Many items include a disclosure triangle that, when clicked, reveals additional items
you can select or deselect.
The Final Cut Studio installer automatically selects all of the applications that your
system’s hardware supports. 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. Click
Continue Installation.
15 A dialog appears requiring you to authenticate yourself by typing your name and
password. Click OK when finished.
The installer displays a progress bar to indicate its status and prompts you to insert
specific discs to continue the installation.
