Can't open an FCE project in FCP

I got FCE 4.0.1 and have now upgraded to FCP 6.0.1. When I try to open my existing FCE project in FCP, I get a message that says, " File's format is too new for this version of application."
I just bought the FCS, so I assume it's the latest version of the program.
Any ideas?

The latest version of Final Cut Pro is 6.0.5.
Use the software updater to get to that version.
My guess is the 6.0.1 was released before FCE 4.0.1.
"In general, Final Cut Pro can open a Final Cut Express project if it was last modified in a version of Final Cut Express that was released before the version of Final Cut Pro that you are using."

HT4115 can i import a FCE projekt in FCP?

How can i import a FCE projekt into FCP?

If you mean FCP as in the original Final Cut Pro (part of Final Cut Studio), just open the FCE project in FCP.
If you mean FCP as in Final Cut Pro X (the current Final Cut app), there does not appear to be any way to do this. At least none that I am aware of. Try posting your question in the Final Cut Pro X forum, - perhaps someone has recently developed an app to migrate FCE projects to FCP-X.

Final cut pro x - lion - mbp 2011 2.0 15 - not responding at all since latest update. Can't open or edit projects, loading window that pops us when you click the app (as it loads) does not go away, says loading compressor support. Have tried reinstalling

I can not open my iMovie project

I can not open my iMovie project. Everytime I click on it, the spinning wheel keeps spinning and spinning until I force quite the iMovie. Please help?

OK Let's take a step back.
If you imported video clips from a camcorder there would be an Events folder in the Movies/iMovie Events/ folder.
You have the option as you import from a camcorder to send your Event to an external drive instead. In this case, it would be in the iMovie Events folder at the top level of the external drive.
If your project has no video clips, but only photos, there may be no events folder, only links to iPhoto.
Similarly, if your camera imported your video clips to iPhoto, and you used the iPhoto event in iMovie, then your clips are in iPhoto, and there is no separate iMovie event.

Can I open an imovie project from an external hard drive on a different computer than my own? If so how?

Can I open an imovie project from an external hard drive on a different computer other than my own? If so how?

If you used the Finder to move the files, iMovie will have lost track of them. iMovie holds the locations of the Event files, and Project files contain references to those locations. If you move the files, iMovie has no way of knowing where they are.
If you can, first move all the files back to their original locations. Plug in the external drive. Open iMovie and move the files in iMovie's interface (help explains how, but basically, just drag and drop in the event pane).
Then you can connect the drive to the new computer, and iMovie will see them.

Did this just happen after upgrading to 10.9?
Try using Preference Manager by Digital Rebellion (it's free) to delete your preference files for Soundtrack.

I can't open old IMovie project done with ILife09

I can't open old IMovie project done with ILife09 on my new MacBook Pro Retina with Lion Mountain system.

you can't just move a project that way. It all needs to be contained properly. If you can find the original imovieHD project folder, you can start again.

Newbie Question: Why can't I open my iMovie project in FCP?

Hello all--
I'm sure some variation of this question has been posted a bajillion times but I can't seem to find the answer. At this point I feel like a damsel in distress. Rescue me?
I've been working with iMovie for about two years now and I've recently been learning Final Cut Pro to up the ante on my videos. However, when I tried to import an iMovie project into FCP yesterday, it didn't quite work. Let me explain what I did and what happened:
1) I exported my (edited but previously unpublished) iMovie project by clicking Share>Export Final Cut XML
2) I opened FCP and clicked File>Import>XML and then selected the XML, leaving all the boxes checked
3) FCP imported the project as a sequence; however, the entire sequence reads "Media Offline" in the Canvas.
4) I clicked File>Reconnect Media and the list of offline files is overwhelming. I tried my luck by clicking "locate" and going to my imovie folders to find the clips, but even when the browser allowed me to select a clip, when I double clicked it, nothing in the sequence changed - it's all still "offline."
I really don't know much about media management, I'll admit - I'm wondering if maybe iMovie saves edited clips in a folder other than the events or originals folder - maybe the edited clips become "temporary items"? I know I have a ridiculous amount of imovie cache and temporary items and I never touch them because there are just so many of them and I don't want to mess anything up. But could the files that FCP claims to be "offline" in fact be located in these "temporary" folders? I mean, I've looked everywhere else on my hard drive and nothing is working! Sorry, I am probably just confusing myself MORE (and you), but maybe SOMEONE will know what in the world I should do
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the family. I don't think many of us have ever used iMovie so your post might be more quickly answered in that forum.
My suggestion is to forget trying to move the project. Rebuild it in FCP. The exercise will teach you much more about your new software than fighting XML.
If you don't feel like doing that, try a smaller iMovie project, something with only two or three clips and one dissolve.
The larger issue is probably how iMovie stores its captured media which is completely different from how FCP does it. And the format is different. FCP does not, IIRC, view iMovie's default dvstream codec. You will want to export your movie clips as DV.

55mm plugin 6.0 / Can't open the register window in FCP 6.02

Hy FCP Useres,

register window in FCP to register the plugin settings...
Downloading the latest version on the digital filmlab webside
doesn't help...has anyone an idea????
Thanks Martin

The latest version of Final Cut Pro is 6.0.5.
Use the software updater to get to that version.
My guess is the 6.0.1 was released before FCE 4.0.1.

How to open FC Express project in FCP

Using FCE 3.5 and need to open the project in FCP 5.0.4.
At the moment I get a window telling me:
"File format is too new for this operation"
Checked Software Update to see if there was a FCP upgrade I was missing, but doesn't seem to be one.
If this has already been posted I apologise and please direct me to it.
Thanks Mac People
-justin!

You probably need v 5.1. It is not a downloadable version.
To move from 5.0 to 5.1 is considered a Crossgrade and the forms and details for how it works can be found on the Apple website - FCP Studio pages under updates. I believe the cost is ~$200 but may have forgotten the exact price.
good luck.

Can't open my last project

Hi there everybody.
I'm having a problem with my latest project. I can't open it because FCX keeps quitting unexpectedly after a few seconds opened.
I decided to throw both the project and its folder to the trash and after that FC works fine. When I put them back the problem comes back.
What I've done in the project in exporting all the videos needed and after transcoding I worked on the multicam angles.
Please help, I have only tomorrow to edit this video.
I'm on a Macbook Pro 2.2 ghz i7, 4gb of ram ddr3, HD is only half full.
FC 10.0.8 OSX 10.8.3
Thanks, Leo.

In the Finder open the project folder. Open Backups and drag the backup file to the same directory level as CurrentVersion.fcpproject. Hide the CurrentVersion file in a temp folder. Change the name of the backup to CurrentVersion.fcpproject.
Open FCP and see whether the project will open.

Can't open older FCE files in FCE 4

I have FCE 4.
I bought the book "50 Fast FCE Techniques" and it comes with a cd containing FCE project files. The files must are from an older version (probably 3)and when I try to open them I get a message *"The file format of this project is from an earlie*r version. Would you like to update?"* I click on yes. Another message box appears saying *"This project contains one or more sequences which this version of FCE can render with Motion Tab quality. Please choose a scaling quality to use."* I choose Normal and click ok. Then the box with *"This project is unreadable or may be too new for this version of Final Cut."*
Is there a setting or a conversion program to enable me to use these files?

Sorry guys, but upon further testing I find that all of the projects on the cd do load, except for the first one I tried. I guess I jumped the gun.

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
Chris
