FCP 6/FCP 7 backwards compatibility

Is there any way to send grouped clips back from FCP 7 to FCP 6?

I want to send a short film project to a friend of mine, but they only have FCP 6. The film was shot on a 5D & 7D, and the laborious task of syncing & grouping has been done in FCP 7. Nothing's been cut yet, and I want them to have my organized, multiclipped project to start with. Is this mission impossible or is there some magical XML trickery that could make this happen?

XML Trickery.

Select All in your Browser. Then go FILE>EXPORT>XML. Export an XML, VERSION 4! Change it from the default v5, to v4. Then take that, and the media drive, to the FCP 6 machine...and FILE>IMPORT>XML.

Before exporting look at the stuff Nick wrote about XML interchange in the FAQ.

The magic of XML worked! Multiclips and all.

Surprisingly, the biggest trouble I had was a failing G-RAID drive, but that's a topic for another thread. Thanks!
