David Hanak Not exactly happy news was received in the mail by users who use old professional applications produced by Apple. With the arrival of the new operating system macOS High Sierra, support for these applications ends and they are about to face the same fate as 32-bit apps in iOS 11. Users just don't turn them on anymore and are advised to update (i.e. buy) to newer versions.
These should be Logic Studio, Final Cut Studio, Motion, Compressor, and MainStage. Users are forced to upgrade to newer versions or are not allowed to update the system if they want to continue working with these programs.
As in iOS and macOS, Apple is preparing a complete transition to a 64-bit architecture. macOS High Sierra is supposed to be the last version of macOS that will support 32-bit third-party applications. As of January 2018, 32-bit applications should no longer appear in the App Store either.
Developers of other applications therefore still have about half a year to update their previously incompatible applications. If they don't, then they will be out of luck. At Apple, they thought that there was nothing to wait for and therefore ended the support of 32-bit applications even earlier. If you use the aforementioned applications, take this message into account all the more. However, if this applies to you, you have probably already been contacted by Apple itself…

I'm waiting for this new Mattel to start making plushies instead of those completely useless pro-programs that just annoy everyone. I think that with this step it will complete its already almost completed transition from a manufacturer of innovative computer technology to a manufacturer of toys for friculins.
compatibility for High OS Sierra should remain for the following programs:
Final Cut Pro X 10.3.4 or later
Motion 5.3.2 or later
Compressor 4.3.2 or later
Logic Pro X 10.3.1 or later
MainStage 3.3 or later
although honestly, if someone uses those applications in the PRO sphere (i.e. it makes a living) then he must have switched to the new X versions a long time ago .. and this probably won't concern him much .. it's probably a similar cry in the dark as when MS will announce that it will stop supporting WIN95 .. how many PRO users (that is, those who make a living) will have a problem with it? .. it's nice that they let you know in advance, but I wouldn't find it a big problem ..
