Final Cut Pro for 2019 Imac

Looking to get Final Cut Pro for iMac . But the new sweet is not combatable . Do I have to dish out 300 or can I pay monthly for just the Final Cut Pro . The App Store is not clear on this .

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 26

In order to run Final Cut Pro, you need (nowadays) at least Sequoia 15.6 - and, eventually, it is likely that newer versions will require Tahoe.

For now, you can still upgrade your 2019 iMac to the latest version of Sequoia (Tahoe is not supported on this mac), and you can purchase Final Cut Pro. The upside is that this purchase will be transferable to a new mac you may get in the future. The downside, is that, while you are using this Mac, you won't be able to upgrade past Sequoia, and that in turn may limit further FCP updates (of course, we don't know if, or when, these things change, but they often have in the past).
