Macbook air 2015 Final cut pro

Can I run Final cut pro 1080p/4K on a 2015 macbook air with 8GB Ram, Intel HD Graphics 6000, and Intel i5 1.6GHz.

All help would be appreciated.

As Ian said, it will work, but it not the best choice for video. The integrated GPU is not very powerful, and it will use part of the existing RAM. The i5 processor is only dual core with no hyperthreading. 8GB (minus the RAM allocated to the GPU) will do but having 16GB will give your mac some breathing room.

If you can get a slightly older (say 2013 or 2014) 15” MBP with a discrete GPU you will be much better served.
