Q: FCP Can't Find Cinema Tools

I saw a similar question to this but it did not answer my question.

 

I'm trying to open up Cinema Tools in FCP 7, but FCP can't locate it. I searched for Cinema tools and I see these, which makes me think it has to be on here, but i Can't find it.

I dont want to risk an uninstall if I dont have the CD to reinstall it.

 

I got my laptop already installed with Final Cut Pro, and I don't have the CD.

 

Cac some one please help me?Screen Shot 2012-04-29 at 11.19.08 PM.png

    Cinema Tools would reside in the Applications folder.  If it isn't there, and you don't have the installer disks, then you don't have it. 

     

    You need the installers.  The only place you will find those will be ebay.  Make sure to get the ones that match the version of FCP you are running.

    Is there a way to just download Cinema Tools alone?

    No, sorry. Cinema Tools came only as a component of the Final Cut Studio package.  It isn't a stand alone product.  It was back in 2005 when it first came out. But that wasn't a download, that was a separate CD installer.  And that version is incompatible with any of the Studio versions of FCP.

     

    FCP doesn't come pre-installed on computers.  It is sold as a separate software bundle.  So you got part of the software when you bought the laptop...but you didn't get a legal license of FCP.  And unfortunately FCP-7 and any and all before it are End of Life...gone. No longer for sale new.  Only option is used/ebay.

    Nope...that's what Cinema Tools is designed for.
