How do I import a rather old FCP/FCE project into FCPX?

Hi People,

Am trying to get back an old FCP or FCE project into FCPX. Is this possible? The project was created in 2003 and would like to retrieve it if possible in its original form.

Thanks

That sounds like FCP 3.x. If you have it installed or installable, load the project and see if you can export the XML for it. If it's available that early, use the highest version number possible.

I believe such files will parse into FCPX with help from the utility SEND TO X (formerly 7 To X) from Intelligent Assistance, which brings home the bacon for 10 bucks.

Not sure if XML export is even available in FCE; it was a pretty stripped down version.

HTH

Best, as always.
