Final Cut Pro High Sierra



Apple has announced that Final Cut Pro 7, and the rest of Final Cut Studio 3 applications, will not work on High Sierra. If you depend upon FCP 7 for your work, it is critical that you NOT update to High Sierra. If you need both High Sierra and FCP 7, you’ll need to create a dual boot drive. It added new versions of all the Production Suite applications: Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro and Motion. It also introduces a new application, Soundtrack Pro, which is a new version of Soundtrack, formerly included with Final Cut Pro. In January 2006, Final Cut Studio became the only way to purchase any of the individual major applications. If you don’t feel like buying Final Cut Pro X to test it out, Apple allows people to download the program as a free 30-day trial. As great as this application is, there are a couple of drawbacks. You can’t save projects to the cloud, and this is an expensive piece of software.

The highest FCPX you can go in High Sierra is 10.4.6. If you install it, Software Update should hopefully prompt you to install ProVideoFormats 2.0.7 which is also the highest version for High Sierra. This contains the latest updates to video codecs at the time of 10.4.6.
However, Apple appear to have taken ProVideoFormats 2.0.7 off their Support pages so if Software Update doesn't prompt you to install it, you can download and install it direct from here:
updates.cdn-apple.com/2019/cert/041-8875.../ProVideoFormats.dmg
Just checked and this works today.
