I recently upgraded my Macbook Pro to El Capitan 10.11.6. I bought this Mac in late 2011and was informed FCP X 10.3.4 was the latest version compatible with it. Where can I get a download link if it is still available?
MacBook Pro 17", OS X 10.11
This is complicated if you’ve not purchased the application before. You can only buy the current version, for which you need a newer system. If you can find one you could then sign into the App Store and buy the application. If you then sign into the App Store on your older system you can then download the newest version available for that system.

As Luis said, major misunderstanding here, and my reply was quite wrong in light of this information that you already purchased an earlier version of the software. You would have needed to get the trial version of 10.2.3 before updating further. Then updated projects and events in the trial version, then updating the OS, and then finally updating the FCP libraries.
Thank you!! That was so helpful. For the heck of it, I kept the events and projects before upgrade.
Installed FCP X and noticed all my media files were already imported, but I couldn't seem to open up the projects. There a way to see projects too?
When you say “events and projects before the upgrade”, do you mean you have separate folders with events and projects?
This would mean you had a 10.0.* version.
Updating this old stuff to the library model is a two-step process.
You need to get the trial version of 10.2.3, use it to create library(ies) and then open it(them) with your 10.3.4.
Please clarify if this is the case. If you need further assistance let us know.
Is Final Cut Pro X 10.3.4 still available?
