Export Final Cut Pro 7 project to open in FCP 6?

Is there any way to open a final cut pro 7 project in final cut 6?
We have a bunch of older Macs that won't run FCP7, but we use for training but our hope was to upgrade the newer machines to the new Final Cut Studio, but it would be great if we could create something on the newer machines, that we could transfer to the older ones.
We tried XML export, but it didn't look like it included filters and such, so we are wondering if there is any other way?

Nope. no other way.

How to rename folder in Final Cut Pro X project library?

How to rename folder in Final Cut Pro X project library? I can't double click on folder, when I right click it just gives options to erase. Can someone help?

I think you may have misunderstood - the question is regarding renaming a project "folder", not a project name.
Still, the accepted answer here makes no sense to me at all - it's about renaming an event. So we're all confused ;-)
BTW as of 10.0.5, I still cannot rename a project folder while background tasks are running - no clue is given that this is what's going on, second-clicking on the folder just (frustratingly) does nothing. When background tasks finish, it works again.

I am not able to share final cut pro x project to iTunes. it continues to say waiting.

I have not been successful in sharing a final cut Pro X project to itunes. It says waiting.   I can cancel it, of which I have canceled about ten submissions now, but each time it says waiting. What am I doing wrong here?

I am not running a compressor.   I am running the 30 trial version of Final Cut Pro X. I have created and finished a project.
I am running a brand new iMac with the latest OS version.    First I a highlight the project to share. I assume just by clicking on it.   click share - apple devices - then i select for which machine, (imac) i want it to render it for-select add to itunes- and click share.
Then it opens up the share monitor shows the project in question and says waiting. I can pause it, cancel it but I can not get it past waiting. the time registry under the info selection says 0.00 minutes but still waiting..
I am selecting the project correctly?   I have made only one project.

Wow. Okay...
I'll let the real veterans in this forum tackle your issues one after the other. But, I can tell you, all will be well.
My only comment would be re: your computer specs:

To be completely honest, FCPX is a RAM hog. It just is. But, RAM is relatively cheap, and the pay-off is good.
4GB is right on the edge, IMHO. 16G is ideal.
I wish you luck, hang in there, and standby for more help.

I need to remove a rig/wires from my final cut pro 7 project. Can Apple Motion 4 remove wires/rig? Are there any rig removal plugins for final cut pro? Thanks!

I need to remove a rig/wires from my final cut pro 7 project. Can Apple Motion 4 remove them? If not can anyone recomment any plugins for Final Cut Pro or Motion that can remove them. Thanks!!

In Motion 5 there is a plugin from CoreMelt called "SliceX" that does this. But I don't know anything in Motion 4 that will do it. You may get more help posting in the appropriate "Final Cut Studio" section of this forum.

Final Cut pro X & project sharing

I am sure this is a basic question but I can't seem to find a solution. Two of us are working on a three min short in two different cities across the country. One person is doing the clip edits. The other colour correction and audio.
I know to share edit we just make a complete copy of both the Project folder (stored in the final cut projects folder ) and the events folder (stored in the final cut pro events folder). The problem is the files are huge.
I was going to use Drop box to share the files but it will take forever to upload and download. We are on a deadline.
Does anyone have any idea how to speed this process up? We both have hard copies of the RAW footage that needs to be colour correct and audio work. I don't have copies of the stock footage and music bed but I am not doing anything to those parts. Would it be possible to just send an archived copy of the project and relink it from my copies of RAW footage. Do my edit then archive the project. Send her a copy via drop box. Then she would relink with my additional changes to the audio and colour.
With another rookie question. Is there a way to use iCloud. If I could save the project in my iCloud. Then give my partner my information to sign into the account. Then she could download it from iCloud and edit...
Just trying to solve the problem of file sharing fast on larger file sized projects.

Assuming both editors have copies of the raw footage in their events folder and that no footage is added or deleted, then the only files that change are "currentversion.fcpproject" in the projects folder and "currentversion.fcpevents" in the events folder. These are very small files and can easily be transferred between editors via dropbox or similar.
The problem with this is that the editors can't work on the same project simultaneously, only sequentially. In other words, editor A finishes their bit and passes it on to editor B to do their work. I don't know your workflow but I'm guessing that you are trying to work at the same time on the same project. It works for us, but only because we split large projects into smaller sub-projects.

Export a Final Cut Pro XML file problem about translation issue

When I export the final cut pro xml file, there is always translation issue like that 'Transition <....> not translated, Cross Dissolve used instead.'
Most of the transition type can cause the translation issues except the wipe and cross dissolve.
Is there any body knowing the reason? Is that OK?
By the way , I am using the trial version of cs5

Hey Ani_,
I've been working with Adobe products for a long time and typically when you come across an error that has anything to do with a XML file export problem its due to things such as effects you may have added in, color corrections, cross fades or any type of video transitions between clips. Remember your work flow should be
Import your footage into Premiere Pro
Name your clips (helps find things later on)
Place clips on time line in the order you wish (ONLY MAKE CUTS don't add anything, transitions color effects nothing)
Then once your clips are all placed on the timeline in your correct order you then EXPORT> Final Cut Pro XML
Now you can bring this into other programs for color grading or whatever else your going to do. You will notice you have no errors on the export.
Once your done doing what your doing to the clips in another program (for example: Divinci Resolve color grading) you can then export them back to your main project then add your effects and transitions.

What is going to happen to my Final Cut Pro X projects if I reinstall the program?

Hi, I am experiencing some problems with 'final cut pro x'. It is acting extremely strange, I have tried a few things but that didn't help, so now I am considering to reinstall it. My only concern being what will happen to my projects(will they be left in place, modified or deleted?)

If it's the same version that's being reinstalled (i.e., 10.1.1) neither the projects nor the events should be altered. That said, it's always smart to have back-ups of the projects, events and any external media they reference.
If you want to get some ideas from contributors here about your FCPX problems, describe them in a post. Also specify what your system specs are, what kind of media and what kind of projects? Possibly the problems can be fixed without resorting to reinstallation.

Final Cut Pro X crash problem on export.

Hello. Okay so I am running Final Cut Pro X Version 10.0.6 on a Late 2011 Macbook Pro 13-inch with 2.8 GHz Dual Core i7 processor, 4GB RAM. At the time of the export I am not running any other applications.
I had begun exporting in 1080p HD with Apple Pro Res 422 (HQ) which kept repeatedly failing. However having lowered this to 720p HD with both 1280 x 720 and 920 x 720 resolution, and changing Apple Pro Res 422 (HQ) to H.264, I am still without luck on my export.
The export runs for a while before completely freezing up and crashing Fina Cut Pro X entirely, at the moment it gets to around 41% before crashing.
I get a report telling me that it crashed on Thread 26. Here is a copy of the Thread 26 crash in case anyone out there can understand this:

It's Thread 21. Focus on that and ask around about that crash.

Final Cut Pro X project either didn't save or disappeared.

I opened final cut pro x and a project I had been working on was basically half gone. It was as if the project saved a couple days in, and then the rest of the work disappeared. I can't even find the project in any folder. It shows up in Final Cut Pro x, but nowhere else. I searched online to find an answer, but the only thing I could find was help for missing footage linking. There are no missing project files, just half of the main project missing. Any advice is much appreciated.

Do a Finder and/or a Spotlight search on fcpproject. See what comes up.
Also, in the Finder, look within the Final Cut Projects folder to find that specific project folder. Within that there should be a folder named Backups with a file named with a timestamp.
Post back and let us know what you find out.

Can I use my Final Cut Pro 6 project in FCP X?

Hi, I've been editing a short factual on Final Cut Pro 6 as this is the version that I learned FC on, the edit is nearly done and all that's left is to add graphics such as lower thirds and titles.
I've been told that FCP X has a much better set of templates for this so was hoping that I could use my FCP 6 project in FCP X. Can I do this? If I can't directly use the project is there some kind of work-around that I could use?

My Final Cut Pro X project went missing

I recently downloaded the trial version of Final Cut Pro X to my Macbook Pro and spent eight hours editing a video yesterday in one continuous session.
When I tried to share it to my desktop no files ever showed up. I tried a bunch of different formats and it all went fine until I pressed OK - nothing ever came out. So then I quit and restarted my computer, and now the whole project is gone. Like it never existed.
It may be that it was exporting in the background (I just discovered that on this forum) but in the eight hours it never saved once??
Is there any way I can recover my project? I need to submit it tomorrow morning. I'm nervous that I'll pull an all nighter to redo the video and it won't share again. Is it worth me purchasing the full version?
Any advice in the next few hours would be appreciated!!

You are correct. However, I don't need luck...there's no such thing.
I did find, by the grace of the universe, that by monitoring increasing memory pressure caused by FCPX over time, archiving older projects, frequently backing up projects (from within the library .fcpbundle) quitting FCPX every so often, and deleting prefs before relaunching, FCPX runs smoothly, no longer crashes my system, and projects no longer disappear.
Good "luck" to you!

Burning a Final cut Pro X Project with DVD Studio Pro

Hi,
A project edited in Final Cut Pro X and Compressed with Compressor 4, can you then burn to disc with DVD Studio Pro?
I have DVD Studio Pro on my system but when I burn the project to disc using DVD Studio Pro it crashes all the time.
I'm wondering if DVD Studio Pro is not compatable with a 64 bit system?
Advise is appreacated.

Thanks Tony that did it, I was using Burn but when I went to Build/Format the disc burned as it should, thanks

Final Cut Pro X Project

I recently completed a 20-hour project in which I filmed, edited, and produced a short ad. I am a college student, so not a professional by any means, but I also feel I'm not too bad at throwing together videos. I am charging for this project, and am trying to figure out what a reasonable price to charge is.
I have included a link to the finished video below, but please do not turn this into a political discussion, I was simply paid to make this ad based on a predetermined script, and would like to know a reasonable price for the amount of polish that it has. Thanks in advance!

This was actually my first project using Final Cut Pro X. I look forward to teaching myself the greatness of color correction soon haha - thanks for the helpful feedback. It seems Final Cut Pro X doesn't have that many color-correction capabilities, but it's probably just me being new to the program.
Here's a great free color grading tutorial for FCP X.
