Final Cut Pro 2: Installing International Version On Localized Mac OS

When the Mac OS is localized into a foreign language, the file names of most system components are translated into that language.

Although the International English Installer for Final Cut Pro 2.0 installs the latest English FireWire and ATI (video) drivers, it does not remove the earlier localized drivers. Having both the earlier and later extensions present in your System Folder can cause your computer to be unstable when using Final Cut Pro.

To install International version of Final Cut Pro on localized OS, do the following:

1. Install the localized version of QuickTime 5 that corresponds to your localized version of the Mac OS.

2. Remove QuickTime FireWire DV Enabler.

3. Remove QuickTime FireWire DV Support.

4. Remove the additional two FireWire extensions.

5. Remove All ATI extensions.

6. Install Final Cut Pro 2.0.
