FCP 7 works, but not properly. I am an 61 year old employee in the NRK in Oslo (we are “the BBC of Norway”). I can edit, but sometimes, when I attempt to export and/or save a project, the pop-up window for naming a file exists after a few seconds. I am not able to name (or rename) the file properly, but so far I have been able to save a file without naming it properly or choosing a path manually. I upgraded to El Capitan without a clean install. My iMac is five years old and of course I should have kept the machine as it was. Why I am using FCP7? It suits me. But, of course, now I´ll get a new machine. The NRK (Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation) have opted for Adobe Premiere and I know that my new life in 64 bit will allow me to use more than 4 GB RAM. Fine. But it´s still a tool. If I am drilling a hole in the wall, who wants to know if I am using Bosch or DeWalt? To people who are happy with FCP 7: Stay away from El Capitan and enjoy your work with what you´ve got. Cheers!
