I wish more applications had the "StartUp" (and "ShutDown") folders
that AppleScript-friendly programs have (BBEdit, for example) - items
in these folders get opened when the application starts and finishes.
But it's far from being a widely adopted feature. (I wouldn't know if
Final Cut Pro qualifies as AppleScript-friendly in this sense.)
Another possibility is if the application writes temporary or log files
to a folder at some particular stage during the launch - you could then
attach a folder action script to that folder.
Alternatively, change the way the application is launched. Instead of
double-clicking the application icon in /Applications, you could run an
AppleScript that both launches the application and does other stuff.
There are many ways of doing this, ranging from the Script menu or an
icon on the desktop or dock, to launchers such as DragThing or
Quicksilver. Of course this won't work when you double-click on
document icons...
