If your new Mac Book Pro runs on Sierra, there is no guarantee FCP-7 will run without issue. There are apps in the Final Cut Studio suite that do not work (such as Compressor) in the last several iterations of Mac operating systems.
If you installed the Final Cut Pro video editing app and for any reason, it fell short of your expectations, this article is for you. Today we will explain how to uninstall Final Cut Pro 7 (or another version) from your Mac completely and safely, in order to avoid issues and keep its service files from cluttering your disk space. I'm a newbie to Final Cut Pro and have the great fortune of having access to it. I have a video on it right now and am needing help using Final Cut. Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 - VideoHelp Forum.
Since Final Cut Studio was abandoned by Apple, you are really on your own to make it work.
You have a couple of methods to install FCP on your system:
1) On your old computer, use Disk Utility to make Disk Images of the install DVDs. Store those disk images on an external drive. Plug the external into your new computer, open the disk images and once they mount click on the first one and let it go. This is much faster than installing from DVD. Once installed, unless the version on your disc was 7.03, you'll need to find the update for FCP.
2) Get and external DVD drive - not sure if any currently support the connectors on the new Mac Book Pro but you may be able to find one.
Most of the people I know that are successfully still running FCP-7 do so on older hardware and keep that older hardware on the appropriate Operating System.
