I was following Adobe Zii on Reddit and I had a few posts saved with info on "how to" and they got banned on Reddit. So now all posts have disappeared. Do you know if this place is the same guys that were on Reddit? https://tntzii.com/how-to-use-adobe-zii/ Can I trust the info on here? Does anyone know?

seems like the domain has expired, so i guess there’s your answer

Is it working on MacOS Tahoe?

Yes, it does work with Tahoe. Unfortunately I had to upgrade to Tahoe because I forgot to cancel the counter file for FCP and it expired. I had to download it again and you need the latest system now if you want to download. I can still find and see the .ffuserdata file.

You go to Apple Final Cut Pro page and download again. You can download as many times as you want as long as the version is different. If the version has not changed since your last download, you need to wait until they update to a newer version.

Also, you now need Tahoe to download FCP. If you don't have Tahoe you need to upgrade and then download FCP.

FIXED by running the updated command to wipe the new .ffuserdata file location:

mv -vf ~/Library/Application\ Support/.ffuserdata ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.FinalCutTrial/Data/Library/Application\ Support/.ffuserdata ~/.Trash
