I am planning to get a MacBook Air and the Final Cut Pro software in the future. Will it be compatible on the Mac air? Does Final Cut Pro come in a CD or I can just download from the Mac App Store?

Please help! Does Final Cut Pro work on Mac air and how will I receive the software? CD Or download from Mac App Store?

Final Cut Pro X is purchased and downloaded from the App Store. System Requirements are:


  • Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor or better.
  • 2GB of RAM (4GB of RAM recommended).
  • OpenCL-capable graphics card or
    Intel HD Graphics 3000 or later.
  • 256MB of VRAM (512MB of VRAM recommended).
  • Display with 1280-by-768 resolution or higher.
  • OS X v10.6.8 or OS X v10.7.5 or OS X v10.8.3 or later.
  • 2.4GB of disk space.


Your computer only needs to meet the above requirements.

You might be interested inthis review, which has generated a lot of feedback. If you read the review, also make sure you read the comments from those with first hand experience using a MBA/FCPX.


If you can ft it into your budget, bumping the RAM to 8 GB seems like a good move, depending on the length and complexity of projects you anticipate working on.


Good luck.
