Unless you are talking about a very old version 7 and earlier (some 15 years now),

Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Pro X are one and the same.


When Apple introduced version 10 in 2011, it dubbed it "X" (as with so many things at the time) both as a reference to "10" and to distinguish it from legacy versions.

The application itself was always just called "Final Cut Pro", though.


A few years ago now, around the same time that Big Sur became macOS 11, Apple dropped the "X".
