As far as I’m aware Rosetta used to be used to install PowerPC applications (Final Cut Studio 1 and 2), but Final Cut Studio 3 (that’s Final Cut Pro 7) is written for Intel processors and doesn’t need Rosetta.
If you were installing Final Cut Pro 6 you might have trouble but FCP 7 should be fine. I did a clean install of Yosemite on my 2014 Retina Macbook Pro, and have installed and used Final Cut Pro 7 with no issues – I even got QMaster working ok.
For anybody getting a new laptop with Yosemite pre-installed I guess there might be some hardware-level drivers missing that disallows FCP7 use but I doubt it.
Hope this helps. Will

Hi Alok, I did a further test by putting beta on an older (2012ish) Macbook Pro and doing an install of FCP7 and it worked too here.
The next big test will be when I receive a retina macbook pro end of this week, and then also when theyh make a final release of Yosemite. Anything could happen, something comes along that breaks it. It’s interesting that FCPX had trouble but FCP7 did not in the beta. I just wish fcp7 was 64bit. Will probably give fcpx a try eventually. Thanks, Will

I did it, I tried it, and it worked for me. Final Cut Pro 7.0 (and later 7.0.3) in the OSX Yosemite public beta. Tried capture from Canon EOS, some light editing, export and render with Compressor and all looked honky dorey:

Hi,
I did a quick test in Yosemite public beta and Final Cut Pro 7 / Compressor 4 seemed to work ok for me:
Thanks, Will
