Note: You will need to insert the Final Cut Studio installation disc again to finish
the installation.
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.
Audio Content
The Audio Content discs include an extensive library of sound effects, music beds, and
Apple Loops files. The content from these discs can be used by the Final Cut Studio
applications, as well as Logic Pro and GarageBand. In addition to many new audio files,
these discs include all of the Apple Loops from earlier versions of Soundtrack Pro.
Important: The audio content on these discs uses the new Apple Loops file format
based on Core Audio Format (CAF). These files use Apple Lossless compression to
retain the highest quality while reducing the space required to hold them on your
hard disk. Older Apple Loops files were based on the AIFF format. See “Installing
Content When Upgrading” on page 12 for information on upgrading from a previous
Soundtrack Pro 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.
