Final Cut Question

[Saintlycow]

I've recently bought a new imac, and i was wondering if my old copy of final cut 5.1 would still work?

Final Cut Pro 5.1 will run, as it is a Universal Binary, but as far as I can remember, the installer is still PPC only, thus it won't start on Lion, for that Snow Leopard is needed (which can still be installed upon a 2011 iMac, that came with Lion).

do any old versions work?

do any old versions work?

What do you mean with that exactly?
If the applications you use are Universal Binary*, then they will run in Lion, Intel applications too, but PPC applications can only be run in pre-Lion Mac OS X versions.

v7 is the only one I can speak to, and it installs and works fine. In fact, you can install 7 and X together.
