I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro 13", with OS 10.11.3. I was using FCPStudio, until I upgraded. Looking for simple editing, but more robust that iMovie. Will FCPX work on my machine? Slowly, I'd guess. Thx.
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
Final Cut Studio still works in El Capitan, so you could keep using it.
Final Cut Pro X will work, although some features which are more dependent on a modern graphics card may fail to work, or work in a limited way - like the 3D text engine. I'd strongly recommend having at least 8GB of RAM, otherwise it may be painfully slow.
It will work for most HD projects. I would imagine it might scrape by with some UDH clips in your projects if you use Proxy for your media.
Consider maxing out the RAM (up to 8 GB, I believe).
Also, your best setup will be to store your libraries on an external Thunderbolt drive – possibly an SSD.

Thx. I'll try reloading FCP7 again.
Will FCPX work with my old MacBook Pro?
