Updated El Capitan to Catalina, what Final Cut X version?

after being away for a long time, I've updated my Late 2013 iMac 27" from El Capitan to Catalina 10.15.7

which is the last version my machine runs.

After doing so Final Cut Pro X is missing. if I go to the App App, there are Download Clowds next for FCPX.,

Motion & Compressor.

Unfortunately its doesn't indicate the VERSION numbers. I read that FCP X 10.5 is the last version I can run?

is that the version with the download cloud?

or should I download the suite from another site to assure version number.


a lot of words, i know.


please help thanks

iMac 27″, macOS 10.15

If you previously purchased FCP while you were on El Capitan, then you can download FCP with that same Apple ID. Click your name at the lower left of the App Store window to see your previous purchases and download FCP. It will complain that your OS won't support the latest FCP version but will offer you the last version that will run on Catalina.
