final cut pro is a Mac based piece of software. This simply will NOT run in Ubuntu. The only way you will get this flying is if you obtain a legal copy of MacOS and install it in a virtualbox. It will run like an absolute dog but will run. If this is the main use of the PC I recommend you just stick with your current Mac install.

You could alternatively divorce yourself from the app and use many of the opensource and free video editting softwares available in Linux.

Since VirtualBox virtualizes a PC and Final Cut Pro requires Mac OS X, you would also have to modify Mac OS X (or obtain a modified copy of Mac OS X) to run on a PC. The processors in Macintosh computers are a subset of the processors used in PC's, but Mac OS X is deliberately designed to be difficult to get running on a PC, because Apple wants people who wish to run their operating system to buy their hardware, even though there is no technical reason why a PC cannot run Mac OS X as well as a Mac. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSx86 and (for guides) the external links therein.
