Can't load Final Cut Pro 4 on to My Mac Lion 10.7.5

Hi Guys,



Just purchased Final Cut Pro 4 but it wont load on to my Mac Lion 10.7.5. Is there a fix for this, or do I need to change the sotware back to Snow Leopard?


Be gentle, non techie here.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

FCP 4 will not work on the Lion OS. The highest is Snow Leopard 10.6.8. FCP 4 is a PowerPC based software which requires an OS that works with it. The last one was Snow Leopard. Lion OS forward doesn't work with those.

Thanks for the info, SoCal.


I have exchanged the software, and now have FCS 2, which again won't load as it says that my operating system doesn't have "Power PC". I assume this is the same problem i had previously. If I change Lion OS for Snow Leopard, will it work? If so, what problems would the change cause to other programs?


Thanks again for your input.
