[X4U] Run FCP PPC on Intel Mac using Rosetta?

Let me paste that quote from http://www.apple.com/rosetta/ again:

"Pro applications from Apple — including Final Cut Pro, Motion,  
Soundtrack Pro, DVD Studio Pro, Aperture, Logic Pro, Logic Express,  
Shake and Final Cut Express — are not supported by Rosetta."

There is the answer.  Running PPC versions of pro applications on  
Intel-based Macs is not supported by Apple (the usual caveats to  
interpreting that probably apply).
