I updated my macbook to Monterey and now my Final Cut won't work.

I updated my macbook to Monterey and now my Final Cut won't work. The version I have is too old for Monterey and the version on the app store it's too new! Where can I find the FCPX that goes with Monterey 12.7?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.7

You are looking at the wrong place. Follow Tom's advice: click on your account at the bottom left. Find FCP amongst your purchases - NOT searching the App Store at large.


It should say "update".


If it also says "open" there:

1) Move FCP to the trash (don't empty it yet)

2) Locate FCP amongst your purchases, as above, and click the download icon. As Tom said, you will be warned that the current version is not compatible, and offered to get the most recent for your OS.
