Can I open Motion 5.1.2 projects in Motion 5.0?

Hello,
I'm working on a system that has motion 5.1 installed and I'm going to continue to work on a system that has 5.0 installed tomorrow.  I was wondering if I'll have any issues opening my 5.1 project in 5.0?  The only reason I ask is because I'm opening a motion 5.0 project in 5.1 and it's asking me to "save as" a new project.
Thank you!

Yes... 5.0 is a previous version to 5.1.   It is not likely you will be able to open your project in 5.0.  It is highly recommended that you upgrade the 5.0.x version. It's a free upgrade.  The only downside to upgrading is people with older versions of FCPX will not be able to run the newer version template in FCPX. It's been a real pain that Apple hasn't kept "versioning" between FCPX and Motion with similar numberings. However, FCPX is only compatible with Motions templates from versions that are *concurrent*  with a particular version of FCPX, or older (if that makes any sense to you.) FCPX has maintained compatibility with all templates from previous versions of Motion 5.

  • Can't open motion 4 project with motion 5 !

    When I open a Motion 4 project with Motion 5 I get the followwing message : Le document « origine.motn » n’a pas pu être ouvert.
    meaning the document can't be open ! Any ideas ?

    There is something wrong with the file.  Normally Motion 5 can open Motion 4 project files.  Open in Motion 4, Save As, try again.

  • Can't open motion 5.02 doc in 5.03

    The automatic update for motion 5.02 to 5.03 has stopped previous created files from being opened.
    This is critical for any update - be able to open my projects in the new version of the software.
    What is the solution??

    I'm running into the similar problelm.
    I had a 4.0 legacy project that I tried to open in 5.0.3 and it kept crashing the application.  So I opened the project on my laptop, but was unaware that it was 5.0.2.  Project opened without any problems and I resaved as a 5.0 file.  Went back to my desktop and my 5.0.3 app wouldn't open the file, given me the totally useless message that "This file cannot be opened".
    During the interum, I udpated by Motion app on my laptop to 5.0.3 and now my laptop can no longer open either the legacy file (crash) or the recently saved 5.0.2 document ("Can't open" error).
    How can I fix this?

  • Can't open final cut studio 2 project in final cut pro 5.0.4

    My color corrector has the new Final Cut Studio 2. I still have version 5.0.4
    I can't open the project file he returned to me. I'm guessing its because we have different versions. 5.0.4 is the latest patch for me, right?
    Furthermore, a friend of mine has final cut studio 2 and opened the project for me. He exported an xml file and told me i should be able to import that and view the project file. When I open it all the media files are offline.
    Do I HAVE to upgrade to Final Cut studio 2 to be able to view these project files?
    thanks,
    ben

    Reconnect the offline media and life should be good.
    Still, the best solution is for everyone involved with the project to be using the same version of FCP/Color.

  • Can you open a Final Cut Pro project file (6.0.6) in Final Cut Express (v4)

    I am working on a project in Final Cut Pro (v 6.0.6) and I need to pass it off to a colleague who only has Final Cut Express (v 4). The media in the project is DVNTSC.
    I went to the Apple store at the Stonestown Mall in San Francisco today and they assured me that my colleague would be able to open my FCP project file in his FCE program... but I'm skeptical.
    Can you really open a FCP project file in FCE?
    Could somebody who has both confirm this for me?
    Thanks,
    Sam

    Under very rare circumstances can you open an FCP project in FCE. It almost never works and is not supported by Apple.

  • IMovie 7.1.1 and 10.5.3 - can't open existing or create new projects

    Is anyone experiencing the same problems as me since upgrading?
    I saved an iMovie project yesterday evening but today (following updating to 10.5.3) when I open iMovie all the options under File (except for Import from Camera) are grayed out - I can't open yesterday's project or create new ones.
    I've restarted, etc. Any help would be appreciated as I'm under some serious time constraints.

    Not much help I know but I've not had any issues after the X.5.3 update. Have you repaired permissions after your update. I repaired permissions and carried out several other maintenance routines immediately before performing the update and then repaired permissions again after the update.

  • Can I open my final cut express projects in final cut pro X?

    I need to get footage out of some of my final cut express projects and put them in final cut pro X, which I am now using. How do I do that?

    You can export any movie from FCE to Quicktime, and use it in FCP X. If you export using ProRes 422 codec it will already optimized for FCP X.
    What you can't do is use the FCE projects themselves in FCP X.

  • FAQ: Can I open my Adobe Premiere Clip project in Adobe Premiere Pro?

    Yes. When you are ready to export your project to Premiere Pro, begin by tapping the share button in the upper right corner of your screen. Next, simply tap the Edit in Premiere Pro button. Within a few minutes, this will send your project and media to your Creative Cloud folder. Open up Premiere Pro on your computer, and from the Welcome Screen select the option to “Convert Premiere Clip Project” under the “New” heading. Next, choose the project XML file you wish to continue editing in Premiere Pro. All of your project edits will show up in your Premiere Pro timeline, making it easy to continue working.

    Since PrPro project is an XML file, you can open it up in any script editor (e.g. Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit) or even text editor, in fourth line find Version="25"
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <PremiereData Version="3">
         <Project ObjectRef="1"/>
         <Project ObjectID="1" ClassID="62ad66dd-0dcd-42da-a660-6d8fbde94876" Version="25">
    and replace it with Version="23".
    Although it works just fine most of the time, bear in mind: everything is at your own peril.

  • Can't open a third party CS5 project in CS5

    I purchased 3 After Effects projects from a third party website http://www.pond5.com/ and I downloaded the CS5 version on 2 of them and like CS4 on one and only the CS4 version works.  Yes I tried searching their website for help but there is none.  Just wondering if there is any other reason this might be rejected the error actually says something about attempting to open a project created with 10.0 and cannot be used with this version.  I did an update as well no luck.

    Make sure to apply all the pertinent updates. Also perhaps those CS5 files were saved down from CS5.5 and contain garbage. Likewise there may be third-party plug-ins involved. Same for fonts or specific cross-platform issues. So many things that could be wrong here. Without knowing what the projects contain, impossible to diagnose. If everything fails, you can always download the CS5.5/ CS6 trial and open it there...

  • Can't Open Any Old iMovie 08 Projects

    Recently all the projects I was working on in iMovie 08 disappeared. Today I found the files but when I click on it, it opens the new project I just started, not the project I'm clicking. I tried importing the files back in but it's grayed out. What's going on? Any ideas how I can get back those projects?

    Neither is there when I open iMovie. iMovie 8 created a new folder "imovie" in my Movie folder. Within that I have two folders "iMovie Events" and "iMovie Projects" with all my old folders. I also have a two separate folders "iMovie Events" and "iMovie Projects" with my new project contained inside. It's very strange. I don't think I did any updates in the past few weeks. I just was to access those old projects.

  • Can't open copy of iMovie '11 project

    I am trying to open iMovie '11 projects that were sent to me on a hard drive. Even though I have the project files and the event folders with the event files in them, etc. I cannot open the projects because they were not exported by iMovie but rather copied using FInder. Is there any hope of accessing them?

    Chances are low but you might get lucky.
    If the projects were originally in the Home/Movies/iMovie Projects and Home/Movies/iMovie Events respectively on the other Mac, there is a chance you could move them to the corresponding folders on your Mac and they might work. At that point, you could use iMovie to move them where you like. If they used photos or music in the project, they would probably be missing,

  • Can't open Final Cut X - Stop Responding with Event

    Im working on a project for over a year, and suddenly I can't open Final Cut with my project and event.
    It stops responding while loading my event.
    I already changed the location of the biggest files (original media and renders), so I just have my event and my project files on the final cut folders.
    I've tried to open this in another computer, but it still didn't work.
    When I erase my event and project, there's no problem with Final Cut.
    Any suggestion?
    Thank you!

    Why are you moving folders around?
    Was FCPX acting abnormally before you moved these folders?
    What do you mean by "erase  my event and project"?

  • Can't open previous Premiere CS2 versions!

    It's really hard to believe that I can't open the PC CS2 Premiere projects on my new Mac!
    I guess I need to rebuild all of the videos and start capturing?!? Is there no fix for this? Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign will all open previous versions/and cross platform.
