Code hasn’t been touched in years already. For the die-hards who want legacy and High Sierra on one system:

I have the luxury of owning an older 2011 iMac running Snow Leopard, and the final iteration of FCStudio, 7.0.3 which is very stable. It is ideal for opening old FCP7 projects and rendering out QuickTime files with effects or titles that don’t quite port over to FCPX. Also, it has an onboard SuperDrive, so I do my DVD Studio Pro and disk burning. I hope it runs for a good long while!

I have to hand it to Apple, I thought this would come much sooner. At this point, if you still want to run legacy, then stick with an older OS.

Meanwhile both Adobe and Avid are doing a good job of replacing Quicktime dependencies within their tools.

The interesting tidbit here is
…there are companies and even TV shows (See House of Cards) that continue to use it on a day to day basis. Those companies now either need to stop updating their OS or move on from Final Cut.
House of Cards was being cut on FCP7?!!!

Yes, it was used on Season 1 with some fanfare. I guess they stuck with it to the end because, well, it worked, and the editors knew it. Very “Avid” mentality.
I too have an older machine with and older OS and FCP 7, for the clients who keep using it. But in my mind, it’s been DOA for nearly 7 years..

It actually has zero to do with FCP7 and is just a consequence of architectural updates in High Sierra. There are also a sea of 32-bit only apps about to cease functioning in iOS 11 as well.

First the eclipse, then FCP7, and now Speedgrade:

What bums me out is that the Speedgrade “Widget” never made it to anything in Pr or Ae.
It was such an efficient UI tool.
