'New versions of Apple pro video applications - including Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5, and Compressor 4 - are compatible with macOS High Sierra.
'Older versions of Apple pro video applications - including applications in Final Cut Studio - will not launch on a computer running macOS High Sierra,' reads the email. According to cinema5D, Apple has started to notify Final Cut users about the change in an email that informs users that they'll need to upgrade to newer versions like Final Cut Pro X, Compressor 4 and Motion 5 ASAP. If you don't update to the latest macOS, you might expose yourself to security risks if you do, you'll be forced to adapt your workflow to Final Cut Pro X, which many professionals are less fond of. This puts video editors who use FCP 7 in a rough spot. If they update Apple's upcoming operating system, existing Final Cut Pro 7 users who want to continue using Final Cut for video editing will be forced to transition to Final Cut Pro X. Apple has revealed that its aging-but-beloved video editing program, Final Cut Pro 7, will not be supported by macOS High Sierra.
