Compressor is a software program that works with Final Cut Pro. It is useful for exporting to Microsoft products, and for converting from NTSC format to PAL format or PAL to NTSC.
Final Cut Pro is only available as part of the Final Cut Studio package (also includes: Motion, Soundtrack Pro, Color and Compressor) which costs $999 (£816) from Apple but can be slightly cheaper from suppliers such as Amazon. There is also upgrade pricing for owners of previous versions.
The Final Cut Studio support page helps users with any problems regarding Final Cut Pro 7/X, Soundtrack Pro, Compressor 3/4, Final Cut Pro 7, Motion 4/5, Color, and DVD Studio Pro.
The main difference between Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Studio is that Final Cut Pro is a standalone video editing software, while Final Cut Studio is a suite of video editing tools that includes Final Cut Pro along with other applications like Motion and Compressor. For professional video editing needs, Final Cut Studio would be more suitable as it offers a wider range of tools and capabilities for advanced editing, effects, and post-production work.
No, Final Cut Pro is software exclusively for Macs.

No only Imovie. If you want your macbook to come installed with final cut pro then you have to order it online and pay for final cut pro separately. Then when your computer is shipped it will be shipped with a copy of final cut pro.
Open the project with the updated version of FCP.
No, Final Cut Pro is only compatible with macOS and not Windows XP.
