How can I save a project in FCP 7.0.2 so that it can be viewed in FCP 6?

Hi there,
I am working on a project in Final Cut Pro 7.0.2 and need to show the project to a colleague who is using Final Cut Pro 6. How can I do this?
Thanks

Shane's Stock Answer #45 - How to export your project to work with earlier versions of Final Cut Pro.
Versions of Final Cut Pro aren't backwards compatible. So a project created with FCP 7 cannot be opened with FCP 6...and this even goes into the dot-updates as well. A project created with FCP 5.1.4 cannot be opened by FCP 5.1.1.
Nope, for this you need to use XML. Export your sequence as an XML sequence and import that in the other version of FCP. XML v3 if for FCP 5.1 4 and FCP 6. XML v2 is for FCP 5.0, and XML v1 is for FCP 4.5. So if you need to go from FCP 6 to FCP 5.0.4, you'd use XML v2. For FCP 7 projects that you want to open in FCP 6, XML v4.
To export an entire project, select ALL the bins in the Browser and then choose FILE>EXPORT>XML.

    my free trial of FCPX will expire today. How do I save my project to work on it later once I can purchase it. Is that what Export XML does?

    xml is used to move your project from one application to another.. like from FCPX to DaVinci Resolve or After Effects or Premiere... but at the moment it has a bug, it links the original media and not the optimized media (the prores 422, just in case you use them...)

    Have you installed Adobe Reader and its associated plugin? AFAIK, that's the preferred if not the only way to open PDFs in an embedded view within Safari.

  • How can I view an AI file created on a MAC on a PC without corrupting the fonts?

    How can I view an AI file created on a MAC on a PC without corrupting the original fonts?  An AI file was created with an image and text on a MAC.  When the AI file was opened on a PC, the text fonts were not the same as originally created.  Also, the same AI file was saved to PDF on the MAC.  When the AI file was opened on a PC, there wasn't anything visible.  Anyone have any ideas?

    Are you using the save version of Illustrator on both Mac and PC? If so, and you have the same fonts installed on both machines you should be able to open it without any problems. You may need to tell it which fonts to assign, they are not always named the same. If you don't need to edit the text, you could convert the text to outline and eliminate the need for fonts.

    In VIEWING (to print) my iTunes music (in finder), how can i view subfolders without clicking on the  triangle of each main folder?
    I am trying to print a list of all my music. For example, main folder is BEATLES.  Subfolders are Magical Mystery Tour, Yellow Submarine, Abbey Road, etc...
    and I want to view and print all the subfolders. This is a recovery project after my hard drive failed. I know this is truly a "finder" question and will double post there.
    Thanks.

    If you merely "Copy" a photo it doesn't go anywhere until you "Paste" it somewhere as, for example, into a email or document.

  • How can I view the videos of adobe flash player that apple no longer support?

        How can I view the videos from the internet and networking of adobe flash player that apple no longer support?

    Flash Player version 10.1.102.64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users. However, this Flash version won't work for many videos on Facebook, YouTube and other sites. Adobe's latest version, 10.2.x or later, is only for Intel Macs. Adobe will not provide a newer Flash version for PPC Macs.
    The message requesting that you download Adobe Flash Player takes you to Flash Player requiring an Intel processor. Doesn't work on a PowerPC processor. I found a hack, installed it & it works with Firefox, TenFourFox & Safari.
    Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

  • How can I view submitted responses in their entirety?

    How can I view submitted responses to FormsCentral in their entirety?  The forms were created in Word, made fillable in Acrobat XI, and made submittable in  FormsCentral Plus via our company's website.  I'd like to receive the completed form in its original format rather than sorted by question.  Is this possible?

    For imported PDF files, you currently can not save a response into the original PDF. We will be adding this capability at the end of January (in a few weeks).
    Sorry to have to make you wait.

  • How can I view the details of a pending plan change?

    I received a flyer saying I could probably save some money if I came in and changed plans. I went to my local Verizon store and met with an associate who set me up with a new plan to start next billing cycle. He didn't give me any paperwork and I can only find the details for the current plan. How can I view the details for the new one?

    Hello pitviper1091!
    I apologize that you did not receive a receipt in the store. You cannot view a future dated plan change on My Verizon, until the date that it goes into effect. It should go into effect on your new bill cycle. You could return to the store to request a copy of the paperwork, or we could assist you in checking your account to confirm what changes will occur.

    you ceated an archive - that doesn't mean, you imported them in iM, which is not only for editing, but for achiving too. nor into the iLife suite of apps, esp. iTunes, which is the 'media centre' on MacOS.
    choose Import from Archive. in a preview window you see each 'take'. choose All or select which to import. on import, iM will create so-called Events=groups of clips defined by day of recording.
    After import, iM allows to preview each clip or Event, edit them in Projects, share them to iTunes for playback on your Mac, iPad, iPod, AppleTV, YouTube, VImeo .........

    As a video professional, i agree and am VERY disappointed with this policy.  I attended CC presentations at various conventions, film festivals and meetups for a year-and-a-half before I made the leap to CC, and no one EVER mentioned a restriction to transferring video files.
    Whether it's to save storage space or not, that's how it APPEARS to the end user.  Anybody who knows ANYthing about how video pirates commit their crime (which it most-certainly is), knows that there are plenty of FREE, untraceable (or nearly-anonymous) resources to carry it out.  The need for anyone to pay $30 or more per-month to do it with an acct that has their info attached to it is ludicrous!  If anything it's CONTRIBUTING to piracy to encourage creatives to transfer their material to collaborative parties using a less-secure, more heavily-trafficked third-party service than the one they're paying for exclusive use for.
    Adobe's policy makers need to review this restriction and remove it or provide ANOTHER reason why it exists because this one doesn't fly.  And if it continues, make sure a disclaimer gets inserted in CC pitch presentations because likely half of the attendees are working with video.
