upgrading to fcp6 from fcp5

I looked in the FAQ and didn't find the answer I was looking for. If I missed it please direct me in the correct location.

I am up grading to FCStudio 2 from 1. I was just trying to find some tips on the best way to do it so I don't run into mis-install issuies. I'm on a macbook pro-- intel version.

thanks,
bret

Last few times i went up a studio version, it was always a fresh up reinstallation- back up/clone drives, clean reinstallation of the OS, update OS, update QT, install FCS, update FCS.

I'm kind of a nerd about it: I do that every time I install a software update. I have a 750 GB disk in my system that's partitioned in quarters, and I just rotate through those partitions when new updates come out.

In fact, I'm going to be doing one today to install 10.5.6 and CS4, I think.

Sounds like farming... Crop rotation...

Aye, English, ye must rotate your partitions seasonally lest the bits begin to rot.

So mote it be.

Fresh install, with fresh OS. How exciting. I was hoping to hear everyone using an easier method with great results, but o well.

Thanks for the info. Looks like I'll be busy for the next few days.

This gives "directory corruption" a new meaning... As ye sow, so shall ye reap. Back to work, boys!

It's not that bad, actually, if you do a little prep work in advance. I've converted all my DVDs for Final Cut Studio and the CS3 and CS4 stuff to disk images, and stored them on another drive. Installing from disk images is tons faster than installing from DVD.
