I am using Final Cut Pro 10.8.1 on Sonoma but still keep a copy of 10.6.5 because of some projects where I and my daughter both work, because her mac cannot be upgraded past Big Sur.
I am considering upgrading my mac to Sequoia.
I would appreciate if someone can test to see if 10.6.5 still runs in Sequoia.
TIA
MacBook Pro (2017 – 2020)
It won’t. It has the no entry sign displayed over the top of the icon.
6.8 is the oldest version that will work in Sequoia.
I'm sure you are aware of several workarounds.
Download he latest Sonoma installer.
Update your Mac to Sequoia, create a volume on it and install Sonoma along with FCP 10.6.5
Alternatively get an empty USB drive and install Sonoma on that so that you can boot into it whenever you need to use the old FCP . . . a normal USB 3.0 HDD should be more than adequate.

Thank you, Ian.
I do have an external drive that already has Sonoma on it, so that is a possibility, although booting from an external drive (even though it is an SSD!) is extremely slow on this mac.
I may use this if I decide to upgrade.
I might do dual booting from the internal, but there is not a lot of free space.
For the time being, I think I will put off upgrading to Sequoia, as this is an Intel Mac.
I am planning to get a new Mac in a few months time and enjoy the new features, and will probably just keep the present one in Sonoma.
This is a first for me, though. I tend to upgrade pretty much as soon as possible, when a new OS comes around.
Thank you, Tom.
It is a 2019 MacBook Pro, and as you say there is not much to gain with an Intel Mac, so for now I will probably just keep it in Sonoma. I am expecting to buy a new Mac in a few months to enjoy Apple Intelligence and all the other features that are only for Apple Silicon macs.
Thank you, Tom.
On an mO2 forum they are warning of this, as you have to have old copies of FCP and Motion to still run that amazing plugin. Yeah, there you have it.
Are you using the 2017 MBP? If so you’re not missing much. The best of Sequoia is M series only and won’t start releasing until October at the earliest.
Thank you, Ben.
Final Cut Pro 10.6.5 in Sequoia?
