FCP 7 killed in Yosemite?
It’s just a beta (so real buggy) but this article seems to suggest FCP 7 is finally dead in the Yosemite Developer Preview… Curious if this will work itself out or not.
For reference, I remember FCP 7 working just fine in the Mavericks Developer Preview.https://haverzine.com/2014/06/03/early-first-look-os-x-10-10-yosemite-developer-preview/
“I’ve experienced application crashes, design glitches, sluggish animations, totally broken animations, broken first party and third party applications a like – I’m looking at you, Final Cut Pro 7, which has finally kicked the bucket in Yosemite and is now completely broken – and much, much more.”

Cross posted from the FCP 7 forum:
Well I decided to be a guinea pig.
I loaded Yosemite onto a 128GB USB 3 flash drive so I could dual boot with my existing Mavericks setup on a latest generation Mac Book Pro. I installed FCP 7 only, none of the supporting apps and it runs!
This was a very, very simple test, I loaded up a Prores clip added a few splices and it kept running. But the fact that FCP7 even loads is encouraging.
Keep in mind that Yosemite is still beta. Additional changes could easily break FCP7. I certainly wouldn’t have done this test on a production machine.
Now I’ll try loading VisiCalc 🙂

Early bird gets the worm, early adopter gets the bugs, issues and all the other “good” stuff with a new release. Just because it is new and shiny does not mean it is not without issues.
My Final Cut Studio:
Core Software
Final Cut Pro X
Motion 5
Resolve
PixelmatorPlug-ins
Red Giant UniverseUtilities
7 to X
Clip Exporter
UltrascopeCameras
Black Magic Cinema Camera

Hello John,
Are there any updates as to how Final Cut Pro 7 works in Yosemite? Could you please post a link to the original thread? Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.
Sincerely,

Hi Neel
All I did was install and open Final Cut 7 and load up a clip. The original link was mine. I wouldn’t put any trust in FCP 7 and Yosemite. I was just curious to see if it would work, I don’t plan on doing anymore testing.
Cheers
John

Hey John,
Thanks for the quick reply. I was hoping to be able to use Final Cut Studio 3 and Yosemite, but now I’m not getting my hopes up. I guess we will know more when it is finally released in the Fall. It is encouraging that you were able to get it to work at all.
Thanks.

I don’t even know him Bob. =)
I’m keeping my fingers crossed that Final Cut Studio 3 will work in Yosemite. If not, I have Avid Mediacomposer 7. Thank you for the help guys.
Sincerely,
