Can fcp 6.06 open 7.0 projects?

feel silly asking this question,but is it possible to open fcp 7 project files with fcp 6.06?

Simon,
Welcome to the forums,
Not directly, but if you export your FCP 7 project as [XML|http://developer.apple.com/appleapplications/fcpxml.html] you can import that into 6.0.6.

FCP crashes, and opening and saving projects take too much time

Since my upgrade to FCP 5.0.4 I’m having trouble on several aspects of FCP.
I am using an Xserve raid storage, connected via fiberchannel to an Xserve with 10.4.4.
The editing computers are connected via fiberchannel and Xsan to the central storage.
FCP runs on an Apple G5, and my projects run from an external disk described as above. Al the other FCP scratch disk settings are also set on the external disks.
Example:
I’m using the FCP 5.0.4 with the multi-clip mode, and one of the consequences is, that my projects become relatively large. The larger they become, the longer it takes to open (up to 10 minutes) it and to save it (up to 2 minutes). Together with these problems, FCP crashes a lot.
I set my “auto-save” at an interval of 15 minutes, to prevent to loose a lot of work, but when it takes 2 minutes to “auto-save” each time, I loose a lot of time.
So when my project was 224 MB, I made a copy of my project, and opened it from a local drive. Opening the project took also 10 minutes. But when it was open, “saving” the project took only 15 seconds, instead of 2 minutes. The “auto-save” was still on the external scratch disk. “Auto-saving” still took 2 minutes. So I set the “auto-save” on a local scratch disk, and after that, it took only 15 seconds. Opening the project still took 10 minutes. And the FCP didn’t crash frequently.
My conclusion would be that the problems have something to do with the size of the project in combination with the connection with the external scratch disks. Is this correct? If yes, how do I solve this.
And if not, what else could it be?
Out of memory
Another problem occurred when my project was 327 MB. I had a multi-clip sequence of 100 minutes, with 4 camera angles and a lot of cuts and effects in it. When I tried to “nest” the sequence, it didn’t work and got the message: “out of memory” . Then FCP crashed.
When I opened the project again (it took 10 minutes), I could not save it anymore: ”out of memory”. So now I cannot work with this project anymore.
How do I solve this?
Is my project or sequence too big?
Another crash example
FCP crashed sometimes, when I switch my “Ëxternal Video” setting from “Blackmagic 8 bit” to “Firewire PAL”. Could this have something to do with it the problems I previously described?
Can anyone help me with these problems?
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I've run into a simliar problem and I believe I traced the issue down to the number of files on the drive. A drive I was using had over 600,000 files on it. Opening projects took 5+ minutes, saving took 2+, for a 15 minute simple project.
See if that is your issue.
Edit: 600,000 files on the scratch/capture disk.

Can Logic Pro 9 open Logic X projects?

I have Logic Pro 9 on my studio MacPro and Logic X on my MacBook. I don't intend to upgrade the OS on my studio system until after the new OS is released and things look stable. How can I share my projects between my MacBook running Logic 10 and my studio MacPro running Logic Pro 9?

Verve,
The difference here is that older LP9 projects are now converted to a different format when imported into LPX and so the converted project cannot be then imported back into LP9 once the conversion is done.
This is why, when you first open an LP9 project in LPX.. it asks you to resave the project.... before opening it in LPX and you could use a different name at that point to easily identify the new version though the older LP9 version is preserved.
You can also use the Selective Track Import feature in LPX to avoid any such conversion if you wish.... though frankly it is not needed... as the original LP9 version is preserved.
Cheers..

Can not use, or open, a recovered project with extension .rcproject

I had been working in a project for a couple of weeks, I was putting together a bunch of clips from different road trips and re-unions that I had with some friends.
One day I was removing video that I had marked as rejected. I selected the rejected video and tried to send it to the trash by selecting Move Rejected Clips to Trash from the File menu. When trying to send it to the trash my project was erased and iMovie froze right away. iMovie restarted but my project was not there anymore. I looked in the iMovie folder and there my project was, with a .rcproject extension. I made a copy of this right away. I tried to open this weird extension project by double clicking it, iMovie opens when I do this, but my project does not load.
So here's my question, how, if possible, can I review my "recovered" project and keep working on it?

So here's my question, how, if possible, can I review my "recovered" project and keep working on it?
I would normally assume that all of your "resource" pointers were "orphaned" by the removing of the project file. While it is theoretically possible to restore the file to its former location and check to see the pointers are re-instated, I personally would not bother to try and manually correct them if the pointers themselves have been changed. The "forté" of iMovie '08 is your ability to quickly edit content and, generally speaking, I find it easier to re-edit the project material than to manually edit all of the individual project package files.

Why can't I open an existing project in Final Cut Pro X?

I am new to FCP. There is no "save project" option anywhere. So I assumed it saves my project automatically, since it always reopens. So I went and started another project, assuming the first one was saved. Now I can't find the first project. I spend over 100 hours on it, and now it's gone? I'm a PC user not used to macs and never used FCP before. But I turned out this amazing project for work, got me a promotion, and now I just need to tweak it, and the deadline is tomorrow, and I have to start over again? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you look IN the events? If not there and to be certain it exists, try Open Library to see if there is another Library. If you are using 10.1.1, in the finder, in Movies, rt. click on the fcpbundle Library Icon/show contenets/projects. Do not change anything while in there. Perhaps you have more than one library? The projects are in the seperate libraries/events.
Yes it auto saves. You can make a project snap shot to freeze in time and save everything in the project up to that point.
Hope This Helps

FCP quits when opening project

Hi all, I have been running FCP 5.1.1 for a while now, never had a problem. Been working on an on-going project that always took a few extra seconds to read and load. Well last night I digitized about 2 more hours of video to the project, did a few edits on the timeline and saved and closed. No problems that I could see. Now today when I go to open the project, I get the "Reading Project" box, and at 43%, FCP just closes, "FCP Quit Unexpectedly". I click "try again", same thing happens. Anybody have any ideas? Is there a limit to how much a project can handle? Thanks!

hi Joe
this is not uncommon behaviour if and when a sorce clip becoms corrupted.
if that is the case, what you can do is disconnect the media drive and then launch FCP. it should open up fine but all the media will be offline.
now you can reconnect the media drive and relink the media, but take care in this last step, relink the media in blocks, making a mental note of which clips you are reconnecting each time ... eventually you will get the error, which tells you that it is one of those last blaock of clips that has become corrupted.
when you discover the corrupt clip you can relink all the others and recapture the corrupted one from source.
hope that helps

Can I open a new project with 5 or 10 bins already in the browser?

Hi,
I'm wondering if I have to create and name five to ten bins every time I open a new project. Or is there a way to set FCP preferences to have a certain amount of bins and their names open every new project?
Thanks

You could however, create a "template" project. If you new the bins were going to be named the exact same thing for every project.
Just create a project, set up your bins and save as "template.fcp" (or whatever the fcp extension is, I can't remember right off hand.) Keep that somewhere you can find it, and then open it up and save it as a new project name anytime you need a project with that set up.
I do this for my projects because there is another editor that I work with that doesn't keep his browser very organized, so it was hard for me to figure out where he put everything when it was my turn to come in and finish the edit. So I created a template that had bins called "Graphics" "Animations" "Music" "Sound efx" "Sequences" etc.
Helps keeps things orderly.
Hope that helps

Can Final cut pro open final cut express projects

I have a FCE project and I used my 7D shot at 24p. So I converted the files so I can edit them in FCE. But I found out that FCE timeline only edits at 29.97fps. I was wondering can I open a FCE project in FCP so I can edit in true 24p?

I have FCE 4 and I will be opening it with FCP 6 so that should open fine I assume? and I have already started my editing on that project but I would like to able to finish it up in FCP while taken advantage of editing in 24p, thats possible right?

Can Final Cut Pro Open iMovie projects?

I am just curious because I have a lot of clips into a project of imovie that I wanted to use in final cut pro but I could just copy all the clips but I wanted to check in advance to see if that was possible.

You used to be able to just open iMovie 06 projects in Final Cut but Apple made it a bit more complex.
In iMovie 08, select the SHARE menu and then click on "Export Final Cut Pro XML"
Save the XMl someplace fun.
Then exit iMovie if you're finished.
Back in FCP, right-click in the Browser window and select IMPORT and then click on XML.
Navigate to find the XML you just exported from iMovie, click on it, and open it.
A new sequence is created and you simply need to load that sequence (By double-clicking).
Everything is wonderful.
Warning, do NOT use the File | Open menu sequence which can locate and open the XML because this will cause the new COLOR program to load the iMovie Project and that wasn't so much fun.

Can't create or open a project in Robohelp HTML 8

Hi,
I just installed RoboHelp HTML 8.0.0.203 trial on Windows XP (SP3). It's the first RoboHelp
version I've installed on this computer.
No error occured during installation the program starts normally.
1. When I try to create a new empty project the program only creates the folder with
following files and folders:
!SkinSubFolder!
Adobe AIR.ssl
default.css
FlashHelp Pro.ssl
FlashHelp.ssl
Microsoft HTML Help.ssl
testproject.cpd
testproject.glo
testproject.hpr
testproject.ppf
testproject.syn
WebHelp Pro.ssl
WebHelp.ssl
At the moment when the new project file should open nothing happens not even an error
message.
2. When I try to open the sample project file CCC.xpj an error prompt tells me that the
opening of the project was aborted or CCC.cpd couldn't be loaded.
3. When I try to import a PDF (File>New>Project>Import>PDF) an "unexpected error" occures
during conversion.
I already reinstalled RoboHelp and I have administrator rights, but still the same problem.
P.S. I had the same problem on another system with the Robohelp 7 trial some months ago.
But RoboHelp X5 works fine on a third system, I consider an upgrade if the problem can be solved.

Well I tested to install RoboHelp 8 on my machine at home where the RoboHelp 7 trial didn’t work. At first with Comodo Firewall Pro enabled and it blocked the two attempts of Windows Installer to access the internet. ->Creating a project still doesn’t work.
Then I uninstalled Robohelp 8 and disabled the firewall. Installed Robohelp 8 again and tried to create a project but it still doesn’t work.
Also I installed Robohelp 8 on different machines at home (XP, Vista Business, 7 Professional) all running with Zonalarm Firewall and it worked.
But installing a new OS is no option for the company especially when everything else works fine.
Before I opened this thread I googled some time for this problem but couldn’t find anything. This is weird because I’ve installed it on two systems which have noting in common besides both run XP.

How can I open an AEP project and make all media OFFLINE?

Hi There,
I am working with an AEP file that is on the network that has pretty heavy media files linked to the project. Every time I open the file over the network, AE takes FOREVER to open it. I remember somebody showed me a way to open up a file and making all the media offline. Something like holding ALT when pressing the open button on the Open File dialog. Although, I can't remember if this is right. I'm on a Mac, and I'd like to know if there is a way to do this so I can open up the project without waiting, and simply link the files that I really need to be linked so I can work quicker.
Anybody have any suggestion? Thank you for your time and help!

>You can just change the name of the folder where your sources are stored.
That works well for Windows, but Mac OS is a little trickier. The OS keeps track of folder name changes (even on network directories) and will re-direct requests appropriately. Very cool for users, very bad if you're trying to fool a program like AE. (Had to struggle with this about a month ago to offline some files.)
The only way I was able to make it work was by changing the name of the folder from a different computer while the main computer was disconnected from that server.

I have a MacBook Pro , Model Identifier MacBook Pro8,2 , MAC OX S 10.7.4
I noticed that if I open Final Cut Projects created on other/older models MacBook Pro Laptops or MacPro Desktops, the fonts used in the previously created FCP projects, change their font spacing! which distorts the look of the Text that was written, by oevrlapping on other things that were put & present on the screen.. Another similar probelm is that the Vector shaped used for example to highlight certain words or shapes, also change their position on the screen so that they no longer highlight exact things that we once used these vectors to highlight or outline... Anyone knows how to solve this problem please?? I made sure that the same fonts are available in the Library in both old and newer computers...
thanks in advance..

You might want to take your question to the FCP forum - if you copied all fonts to your Library>Fonts folder and restarted they should be recognized by all applications. I know that this works for Adobe products, anyway.
