Hi guys, I'm about to upgrade to 10.4.8 so I'm making sure I have backups of everything & XML's. I understand it's a good idea to zip compress my current version of FCPX but in the event I need to restore it do I just copy the zipped version back in the applications folder? I was unsure of the reinstall process and can't find a straight answer anywhere. Posted in the FCPX facebook group and can't get a clean answer on the restore process.
There is no need to zip it. You can simply copy it, preferably to a different hard drive. Alter its name as Luis suggests so there will be no confusion.
If you need to reinstall it, simply put an unzipped version of FCP X back in the Applications folder.
Incidentally, FCP X can be launched from pretty much anywhere on your computer. I have launched and used copies on my Desktop.

If you need to launch the older version, unzip it, rename the new one as “Final Cut Pro 10.4.8”, put the old on the Applications folder and launch it.
