"File's format is too new for this version of the application."

Hello.
I got this message when trying to open up a project on the laptop (PBG4 1.67GHz 17" running Mac OS X 10.4.11.

The project was originally created on a Mac Pro running Leopard. From what I've been reading it sounds to me like the project won't open up because of Tiger running on the Powerbook.

Yep. FCP projects are not backwards compatible. It's not the OS, it's the FCP version.

What you can do is export an XML out of the newer version on the Mac Pro, and open this in the older version on the Powerbook. Check out the FAQ for XML info.

Darn, but I thought I got the same version for both machines. Version 6.

Yeah but 6.0.1 or 6.0.2?

Version 6.__ what?

This reminds me of when I thought our cable box wasn't working and when my wife called the cable company while she was on the phone I realized tht I hadn't plugged in the cable line to the----.

[Darn, but I thought I got the same version for both machines. Version 6.]

We hope by version 7 this "App-nesia" annoyance goes away among all versions of 7. Big feature request.
