Q: FCP X and FCP 7 on mac pro
I have FCP X installed and I want to install FCP 7 on my mac pro. How should I do this. I have two hard drives on my mac pro. The FCP X is on the start up drive.
Final Cut Pro 7, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

That won't work, SoCal. FCP 7s installer will see the FCP X receipt file and refuse to install - it sees X as a newer version than itself.
FCP 7 also needs to be on the startup drive and you have to put it on first, then run all updates.
You will need to completely remove FCPX and download it again when the FCP 7 install is complete.
