Where can I download 6.0.4?? Need Help Fast!!!

I just went to the Final Cut Studio Update page and there is no update for FCP - only every other software package in FC Studio. I just bought the boxed upgrade from 5 to 6 and it was only 6.0.1. I'm trying to get to 6.0.4 fast because I need to load AVC-Intra footage from P2.

Please help!!

Not to be a buzzkill or anything, but have you installed the update you said you were downloading? I notice in your system signature that you have 10.4.8, this is from Apple FCS2 Tech Specs: "Minimum Requirements to Install All Final Cut Studio Applications: • Mac OS X v10.4.11 or Mac OS X v10.5.5 or later" That may be why it didn't show up under software update, because you're not on the latest OS which it does need. If that signature isn't just not updated and you encounter problems later, I'd tell you the first thing to do is upgrade the OS, then open software update and I'll bet they'll be there.

I just made a blog post about this. Pro Applications Update 2008-03 just came out which contains patches for Compressor and Qmaster. When this came out they removed Pro Applications Update 2008-02 from the site so there's no way of getting Final Cut Pro 6.0.4 from Apple's site. I'd say Software Update is your only bet. Note that it will only appear if you have the necessary OS, QuickTime and Pro Kit versions.

Apple needs to sort out the way they issue Pro App updates.

I upgraded everything using Software Update and had to go through it twice, upon suggestion of Apple CS rep, to get to FCP 6.0.4. Strange they don't list it anywhere in there. It's hidden. But it upgraded my OS automatically, too so now I'm on 10.4.11 and transcoding an AVC-Intra job as we speak. Painfully slow, by the way, but at least it's working.

Thanks for the help.
