Can you open an FCP file in older versions?

I have a G4 with FCP 4 HD. And I also have, or now "had" a G5 with FCP 5 something on it. The G5 logic board i think just died on me because it currently does not boot up.
Am I able to open an FCP file in an older version?

The G4 is currently running OS 10.3.9.
I have an OS 10.4 installation disc but the G4 does not load it, it stops shortly after the installation process begins and I don't know why it won't install.
I do not have the FCP 5 discs. And do not believe it would even work on OS10.3, or would it?

Strange message when opening a FCP file

Hello, I have recently updated my Final Cut Studio to have FCP6 and when I open a project that uses Apple Pro Res it tells me this:
"File format is too new for this program"
Any thoughts on why this is so?
Thanks in advance for any help

You will see this message when you attempt to open a project file that was created on a version of FCP that is newer than the version that you are using.
What version of Final Cut Pro was used to create the project?
What version of Final Cut Pro do you currenty have?
I know you said FCP6 in your post, but the *point version* is important.
(6.0.1, 6.0.2 etc, with 6.0.5 being current)

Some Finder Sounds Aren't Working (Trash File and Move File)?

Last night I noticed that *some of the finder sounds* aren't working (trashing and moving a file/folder) on my mac mini. The rest of the finder sounds seem unaffected (emptying the trash, removing an icon from the dock). I tried some solutions online with limited success.
Odd things that are happening:
1) After a reboot, the first time I delete a file or move a folder, the *monitor resets itself*. Kinda like when you change the resolution. My TV loses the feed for a sec and quickly reestablishes it. After this happens, no finder sounds for moving and trashing
2) I heard some people were having this same problem because of coreaudiod.plist files (Library/Preferences/Audio. When I copy the com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist to the desktop these finder sounds return, but just for this file. See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10465859
3) I noticed these problems after I started using the Kanex Mini DisplayPort Adapter To HDMI 1080p Video w/ Digital Audio. http://kanexlive.com/products/item.aspx?id=3495 But, I tried switching back to the old setup of a basic minidvd to hdmi and a rca y cable and it made no difference.
4) I also completely did a fresh install and everything worked fine until late in the process after I did a reboot (see point 1). Is it a third party software problem? I installed the HippoRemoteVNC that allows me to take control of the computer with the iphone. I also have installed Plex, Boxee, XBMC, Perian codecs, Hulu desktop, Quicktime 7, and Transmission.
System Specs:
Computer: Mac Mini (Late 2009) - 2.26Ghz, 2GB RAM, 10.6.1
Monitor: Panasonic TH-42PZ700U 42-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV
Video/Audio Connection: Kanex Mini DisplayPort Adapter To HDMI 1080p Video w/ Digital Audio
Any thoughts? Thanks!!

Go to your /Applications/Utilities folder and run the Audio MIDI Setup application.
Confirm settings there match your expectations.

Open Newer FCP files on Older Version?

I was sent an FCP folder with a file presumably made on FCP 5. When trying to open with my v4.5 computer, it says the file is too new and cannot be opened. Is there a way to convert the file so I can open it? I'd prefer not to upgrade at this time just to work on one small, unpaid, project.

The person who sent you the project needs to Export the contents of the Browser to XML, and select the XML Interchange format version 1. Then they can send you the XML file. No guarantees as to how much of the project will translate to your FCP HD system, but most of it should, maybe all of it.
When you get it, create a new project, and Import the XML file.

How to open a dvd file(dvd movie) in creative play

where can i get the DVD codec for my creative player.Right now i am using creative player version 3.02.52.

This is really not a printing question....
Click on Start and in the "search programs and files" box type "autoplay" without the quotes. This will bring up a window where you can select the appropriate autoplay features. You probably want to select the checkbox for using autoplay on all devices and then seelct what type of autoplay behavior for each media type.

Can't open FCP file (version 5.1.1)

I have a FCP file file that will not open. The movie file included 1) imported pictures 2) movie footage, 3) several sound tracks (two from Cds and about 5 sound track files from SoundTrak Pro for effects); the movie file has a duration of about 5 minutes. I’ve tried the following (in this order):
1. Checked the autosave vault. While I can recover the file, I’ve lost 14 hours of editing so I would like to find a better solution.
2. Moved the Soundtrack files so they are no longer referenceable (moved these to another folder); that didn’t work.
3. Repaired disk permission s (only had two differences) so I don’t think this was the problem; that didn’t work.
4. Moved the render files so they are no longer referenceable; that didn’t work.
5. Moved the media files offline; that didn’t work.
I am using FCP 5.1.1 on OS X Version 10.4.6, on a Dual 2 Ghz Power PC G5, 2 GB DDR SDRAM Memory. I started the project on FCP 5.1.1 I didn’t create the FCP file in an earlier version. I also haven’t moved the files from one disk to another (I created the movie file on my primary drive). I have checked the support postings but can’t find something with exactly the same situation (one of the above items seems to have worked for most people) but I’ve tried these and the FCP file will not open. I would really appreciate your help on this! Thanks.
Power Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I got FCP Rescue and opened the application. There isn't much to this application except "Trash" as I understand it. So, I clicked on Trash. After the third try of reopening the FCP file, it OPENED! Yea, which is great! So, that is good. Thank you for the suggestion; that was helpful!
While I can see the file and can export it to Quicktime; for some reason the movie file will only play about 5 seconds and then stop/start/stop/start, etc. I am using "Safe RT", Playback Video Quality is set to "Low", and Frame rate is "low". I've tried various combinations of these including Dynamic; the movie won't play for more than two-five seconds which makes it very difficult to edit.
I have 40 gigabytes remaining on my hard drive; could this be causing a playback problem? The playback worked fine before I couldn't open the FCP file. For some reason after I opened the file it won't playback smoothly.

FCP files will not open after data recovery

We have a TV tech lab in our high school of 15 Apple editing workstations and we archive the completed projects to external firewire drives. Well, wouldn't you know it, one of the drives crashed with all of the previous school years senior projects. The drive would mount, but none of the files were accessible. I sent the drive to a data recovery company and they were successful to a point. They were able to recover the entire drive (about 140 GB). The QT files work fine, but the FCP files are a different story. When I attempt to open an FCP file, I get the error "wrong file type". All of the files do have the correct file extension. Is there anyone out there that has experienced this? Were you able to resolve the problem? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jay in WI

Milwaukee, eh? My mom grew up in La Crosse...
Can you zip one or more of these files and email it to me? I'll take a crack at it.

How can I open a Movie Maker video on iMovie?

I'm trying to transfer a movie maker to the imovie? is it possible? how? thanks(:

The 2 options for saving a video file from Movie Maker are either DV-AVI or WMV. To create a Mac-compatible video file, open the MSWMM file in Windows Movie Maker, save the movie at the highest quality setting WMV or preferably as a DV-AVI format file. Import this finished AVI or WMV file into iMovie or other Mac video editing application.
After the MSWMM file saving as AVI or WMV file in our PC, you can play the WMV/AVI files on your PC and convert them to another video format or burn to DV

Opening FCP file in an older version of FCP

I'm trying to open an FCP file sent to me and I'm getting a "General Error (41)" message every time that prevents me from opening the file. I have a feeling it's because the FCP file was created in a newer version of FCP. I'm running FCP 5.0. Is there any way you can save a file in FCP 7.0 (for example) so it can open in FCP 5.0?

The person who sent you the file has to instead send you an XML file of the project. 5.0 I believe needs an XML 2. When you ask them to do it, make sure that the browser window is selected, and NOTHING in the browser is selected (highlighted.) Otherwise you only get an xml of that one thing.
If you type xml files into the search window of this forum, you'll find a little chart of the fcp versions and the applicable XML's for each.

Final Cut Pro X not opening .fcp files

I just purchased Final Cut Pro X. I am trying to open a .fcp file that was created in a previous version of Final Cut Pro, however it keeps giving the error "final cut pro cannot open files of this type".
When I look at the details of the file, in shows as a "Unix Executable File", but the extension is still .fcp.
Can anyone help?

Thanks Tom. So...to open a previous version of a Final Cut Pro file there is no software that I can buy through Apple currently?

Movie maker black preview screen

Hi.
I am having problems with windows movie maker, I can add pics and movies into WMM but the preview screen is black, the sound works fine.(I can see the pictures to the right of the preview screen) I have trawled google for fixes and lots seem to point to the Video Graphics driver being at fault. I have checked and updated the drivers for latest version using dxdiag. I have uninstalled and re-installed the WMM, I am now at a loss of what else it could be, any one else come across this problem?
Please help!
Thanks
Pavillion DV6 - 6b51ea

I've had the issue with the black screen in Movie Maker. I have Windows 7 operating system and a Radeon graphics card.
I followed the advice about uninstalling Movie Maker 2012 and installing Movie Maker 2011 but this didnt work.
I have tried file conversion, so the videos i converted to .avi but this didnt work either, so i reinstalled the 2012 version after Windows advised the 2011 system is for Vista etc.
Ive also tried checking for driver updates on my graphics card, but all my drivers have come back up to date.
I also configured the switchable graphics option, as some suggested, so movie maker is operating in high performance mode.
I also tried another piece of random advice on Youtube of saving the video to my desktop and then opening it from there with Movie maker. but that didnt work either.
My videos place on VCL recorder and windows media player, but i am completely out of options of why the black screen on the movie maker. As others have reported, the sound is fine, just not the video in the preview screen whilst it is playing.
Any help to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Im not great with computers, but my searching doesnt appear to have any other options.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Burning Videos from iPhone/iTunes with Windows Movie Maker?????

How can I burn videos that I take on my 3GS iPhone and than sync to my PC/iTunes with Windows Movie Maker? When I attempt to load or drag the video file into movie maker it give me an error message due to the file type is not supported. Any suggestions or points in the right direction would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

This is because iTunes Store purchases and in a protected file format, so you won't be able to directly convert them from the protected file into something that Windows movie maker could read.
As the previous poster said, you can try burning the files to a CD, then importing the CD again. I think that ought to work.

Re-install Final Cut Studio 1 Probs with old fcp files and compressor

We crashed our G5 and reinstalled OSX 10.4.8 (Build 8N1430) and FC Studio 1 from original media. In the past (not now) the G5 was connected to the internet and was set to auto-update. I'm assuming and have been told by those working with the system at the time that both FCP and OSX were regularly updated online. We recently re-installed the OS and FCS 1. We have not re-connected the box to the internet; have not updated OS or App software from the versions on installs disks, have not re-registered any software online with apple.
When re-installing the OS, I archived the old system.
My problems are:
1) I can't open old fcp files (projects). These fcp files are projects saved both to an external 500G LaCie and saved on the macintosh hard drive. I cannot open old fcp files archived in the previous system folder on the HD. I get the message "General Error 41" when trying to open these files. I also cannot open old (pre-re-install) quicktime files made with old FCP assets.
I can open new projects and files saved since re-install.
2) (probably related) Compressor will not open and gives me the message "Compressor quit unexpectedly..." I tried a second re-install of DVD studio pro Compressor package. I have a dump of the console crash log for Compressor below.
The G5 in question is currently Not connected to the internet and keeps trying to get online. We have Not re-registered with Apple via the internet either the OS or FC Studio 1 or any of the re-installed software. When I open FCP is asks to reg. Logs show the system trying to get an ethernet connection all the time.
Should I put the box online and register and update? Do I have to do this?
Are the pre-re-installed fcp projects "too-new" for the re-installed (older) FCP to read/open?
In general, I don't want editing bays to be online for these kind of reasons. Is this impossible anymore?
Is it know that Compressor and other elements of OSX and FC Studio can get into versioning issues with online updates such that re-install with cause incompatibility?
Thanks,

1) Use Software Update to update FCP to the highest version and you should be fine. Error 41 is saying the the project was created by a newer version of Final Cut than is installed.
