fcp 6 compatible with fcp 7?

I am using fcp 6 files in fcp 7(after it updates them). Does anyone know how I can save the fcp 6 format?

You can't. It's a one way trip. Any files saved in FCP 7 can no longer be opened in any earlier version of FCP.

>Does anyone know how I can save the fcp 6 format?

Yes. You SELECT ALL in your Browser, and then go FILE>EXPORT>XML. Version 4. Then in FCP 6 you need to make a new project, then go FILE>IMPORT>XML and open that XML that you exported. The full project will import...everything.

Thanks Shane. I had actually tried the xml version 4 export/import and got a "translation document can't be found" error. I will try again however since my methods can be inconsistent.
