This may come out sooner that we think.

2-4 weeks, max.

Anyone know if Final Cut Pro 7 will still work on Yosemite?

I'm a FCP X user but I still need 7 for certain projects/clients and it's still serviceably functional in Mavericks. Anyone on the beta testing side know anything about whether FCP 7 still works?

It's usually released around the same time as the earnings call (which is scheduled for late October), but maybe it'll come sooner this time.

My Swift app isn't finished yet! More pressure! Must work harder.

Devs GM for Mavericks was out Oct 3, Public Release 22nd October.

Devs 'Candidate' GM for Yosemite was out 30th Sept, so yeah, 22nd October onwards.

Older versions of FCPX don't work on 10.10 so I doubt FCP7 will work. There is a way around it but you have to Show Package Contents in the Finder.


The fact we are getting close worries me because Dark Mode still isn't working on any apps. All it does is change the menu bar and dock black.

That's all Dark Mode does. People were hoping it did all windows but that's not gonna happen.

I have been running Final Cut Studio 3 (which includes FCP 7.0.3) successfully in Yosemite though there are a few interface hick-ups, particularly with the new fonts (try using Share). I was having problems with QuickTime 7 exports in the latest Yosemite until today's Gold Master update; if it really was broken it seems to have been resolved. No guarantees everything is solid but I have spent several hours working in most Studio apps. Note I have not done any capture from tape or output to tape (not in my day-to-day workflow) so no promises there.

Of note through most of the Yosemite versions Adobe Suite apps would crash when quitting (perhaps coincidence, maybe just crashing as they normally do). What I found incredible was Avid Media Composer 8.1.0 has been working for me in Yosemite. When is the last time Avid Media Composer worked in the current OS, never mind a Beta?

Your experience may vary. This is not my work computer but rather a personal MBP 17" early 2011. I installed Yosemite Beta on day 1.

I just updated to the Yosemite GM seed – FCP7 still running. I'm beginning to think it'll never die.

Thats all dark mode will be sorry to disappoint you.

Yeah a lot of people still use it. it's gonna be a few years. Rendering isn't great, but if you're using proxies, it works fine. Old, tested workflows die hard.

The beta that was released today runs like butter.

My Body is Ready

Most of the apps I use were already updated for it!

I'd say third week of October. Just a guess... obviously. lol.

thats all they said it would do to begin with. not sure why you expected otherwise.

In a perfect ocd world, it would be released on the tenth of October.

Good. Soon I can finally update my iCloud.

Really? That blows. I could have sworn at WWDC they showed a Dark Mode Safari and Finder.

I hope you mean smooth as butter and not slowly like butter melting in the hot sun.

I'm using PB4 on my rMBP and it runs really good actually! Every bug I have ever reported is gone.
