It’s grayed out in the image above since it was already install on this Macbook Pro Retina. The custom install lets you choose exactly which apps from the Studio to install. It took just a few seconds and it was installed. Final Cut Studio 3 is gigs and gigs of content across 7 DVDs but I only wanted Final Cut Pro 7 so it was a matter of only checking the Final Cut Pro install option. Once that was done I plugged the USB3 drive into my Macbook Pro and mounted the first install DVD. Just remember to keep your serial numbers. With all the Final Cut Pro Studio install DVDs backed up it makes for an easy install of Final Cut Pro 7. Plus I wanted a backup of all the Final Cut Studio installers in case my discs went bad or the DVD drive on my Mac Pro went bust. Yes there is that Remote Disc thing in the Mac OS where you can use another Mac’s DVD drive to read a disc from another computer but I’ve never tried that. I knew this day was coming so I began by taking the stack of Final Cut Studio 3 install DVDs and making a disk image of them on a hard drive. It's running 10.10 and didn't have FCP7 installed. I already had FCP7 installed on that machine but had to do a large part of the cutting on my laptop. This Final Cut Pro 7 job began on my old Mac Pro tower (seen in the image above) which is still running OS 10.9. Good morning #fcp7 it's been a long time.
