Apple has announced that Final Cut Pro 7, and the rest of Final Cut Studio 3 applications, will not work on High Sierra. If you depend upon FCP 7 for your work, it is critical that you NOT update to High Sierra. If you need both High Sierra and FCP 7, you’ll need to create a dual boot drive. Many Mac users who are attempting to download macOS High Sierra from the Mac App Store will find that a small 19 MB version of “Install macOS High Sierra.app” downloads to the /Applications folder of the target Mac, rather than the complete 5.2 GB Installer application for macOS High Sierra. This is annoying because it prevents a single.

The highest FCPX you can go in High Sierra is 10.4.6. If you install it, Software Update should hopefully prompt you to install ProVideoFormats 2.0.7 which is also the highest version for High Sierra. This contains the latest updates to video codecs at the time of 10.4.6.
However, Apple appear to have taken ProVideoFormats 2.0.7 off their Support pages so if Software Update doesn't prompt you to install it, you can download and install it direct from here:
updates.cdn-apple.com/2019/cert/041-8875.../ProVideoFormats.dmg
Just checked and this works today.
