#Final cut pro 7 support update#
Those companies now either need to stop updating their OS or move on from Final Cut.Īpple would like you to update to Final Cut X, its newer editing application that initially disappointed professionals but has slowly beem regaining some of the ground lost. While certain older support apps like Cinema Tools haven't opened for several generations of updates, Final Cut has continued to, and there are companies and even TV shows (See House of Cards) that continue to use it on a day to day basis. Emails went out to users (thanks to Josh Granger for informing us) who currently use FCP-7 that it won't open anymore if you upgrade. Death has finally come to Final Cut Pro 7, with the official announcement from Apple that FCP-7 won't launch in High Sierra.įinal Cut Pro, the application with which many of us learned to edit, and launched companies and careers, will no longer open in the newest OS from Apple, High Sierra.
