Is the new 10.7 Final Cut Pro update not 2019 Intel Macs?

I have a fully loaded 2019 i9 Intel Mac Book pro.

The new Final Cut Pro 10.7 update came out today with the scrolling timeline etc.

I wanted to update to the new 10.7 version, because I am still on 10.6.10

My macOS version is the latest 14.1.2 Sonoma.

I went to the apple AppStore to update Final Cut Pro... but there is no update available. I opened FCP on my mac to see if there might be some kind of "update your version" in the settings menu. Nothing.

Am I missing something?

I know that Apple is "optimizing" everything for the new Mac chips, etc. but are they not going to release updates for Intel chip Macs? I may just be missing something obvious.

The update is available but sometimes it may not appear right away. It was not showing for me, and this is how I got it: I searched for it in the App Store. In the search results it said “Open”, indicating that a version was seen on my mac (which is normal, given that I hsd 10.6.10 in the Applications folder). I clicked on Final Cut Pro (NOT the Open button!) to open the Final Cut Page in the App Store. There, it said “Update”.

If the above fails, either wait a bit or drag the existing version to the trash (but don’t empty it), then return to the App Store. It will offer you a download and it will be the new version.

I have repeated the tests with my M2 Mac mini booted into Sonoma 14.1.1, again with no crashes but the test was brief.

That specific problem is in Sonoma as well on Intel.

And now it has crashed. It took some messing with the curves, but after a few dozen movements, I clicked on the color picker and...

I successfully updated my 2019 27in iMac to FCP 10.7 and also my M1 Mac Minis. The Mac Minis with the new chip sets seem to run a lil smother and faster. But overall my Intel machine is running well.
