Reviving an old FCP project from version 5.1 to current software and Back

I am about to start revisions on a project that was started using version 5.1
I have since upgraded my FCP software to the current version.
My project contains over 100 hours of footage along with an enormous amount of graphic files, logos, etc.
I'll be taking the job to New York and will be working at an editing company that is still using 5.1 software. AFter that it's back to LA for more work and then another NY trip.
I'm wondering if it makes sense to just keep the project at 5.1 to avoid any strange media issues. I know in the past from my decade + time using an Avid that it always makes sense to finish a job through approval before messing with upgrades.
Can anyone offer some advice? I'm up against some newbie producers who have very little experience working with clients and they are encouraging me to just jump back and forth between software versions. My common sense says to not tempt fate.

You are right to be cautious, I have just been through the whole 5.1 to 6 process and I must admit that the BIG projects were the ones I had issues with. After a lot of searching through these forums and posting questions I had to resign myself to rebuilding a project shot by shot. FCP6 would not even open the project. Nice to revisit it and can see how I can improve on it, still though it was a week of my time and $'s that the client and Apple are not going to pay for.
If the project will open in FCP6, go for it, make sure it is a duplicate though, there are plenty of people on the forum saying they have not had issues, I think the depth and complexity, have some bearing on your success.

    Hi Satosh Sutar,
    Based on the description, you got the error message when you update the apps from version 1.0 to 1.1.
    From the error message, it seems the menifest include some settings no allowed in the new version. Would you mind sharing more detail about how you update the project?
    And here is an article about updating apps for Office and menifest schema files in the project for your reference:

  • Opening a project from version control

    RH11 | WebHelp
    This may be related to my previous post (File Status "New version available") but I am now unable to open a project from version control using the padlock button in RoboHelp's Open Project dialog box. It lets me select a project to open, but then just sits there, not doing anything.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Jonathan

    This sounds like a bug to me. Does the RH11 work on a Windows 7 machine? If you have a VMWare lying around, you may want to give that a shot. Short of contacting Adobe with a bug report, I'm out of idea's.
    Kind regards,

  • How do i delete an old iCloud account from phone when I forget my password and I'm not able to reset it because my security questions do not match?! Help!! Currently not able to update any apps or icloud info

    How do i delete an old iCloud account from phone when I forget my password and I'm not able to reset it because my security questions do not match?! Help!! Currently not able to update any apps or icloud info...

    If your device is signed into an old ID of yours that is an earlier version of the ID you want to sign in with, do the following:
    If you are using iMessage and FaceTime, make sure you are signed into these services with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library).  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

  • How do I import old FCP projects that have mysteriously changed to Linux Executable files?  Is it as simple as renaming the files with the.fcp extension?

    I had some FCP projects on an old G3 tower that I finally want to finish. I was able to grab everything, media, etc. to my macbook pro but all of the Final Cut Pro actual movies/projects have turned into "linux executable files" that FCP X won't import.
    I tried googling this issue but didn't really see any good answers. Would it be as simple as renaming the files with the .fcp extension?  I can't recall if my old version (really old) of FCP saves projects as .mov or .fcp files, but I'm assuming I'm not the only person this has happened to.
    Thanks for your help!

    I had some FCP projects on an old G3 tower that I finally want to finish.
    What version of FCP was this? The project files can probably no longer be opened in the newer version of the OS. You could try adding the .fcp suffix, but I don't think it will help for this. Projects files are .fcp.
    Regardless of the version, no legacy FCP projects will import into FCPX.
    Media is a different matter. These are probably QuickTime .mov files. If these are appearing as Unix ececutables, they're probably not recoverable either.

  • Need help transfering a fcp project from one Mac to another

    I have two students who need to work on projects on the same computer at the same time-deadlines-and need to move one project AND all the files to another Mac. When we open this file it asks to reconnect everything and it's taking forever to match everything up correctly. Is there any way to scoop up all the files needed in one file as there is in IMovie so that all needed files are associated with the project and move together? Please help if you can, I have a fast external drive to put the files on.

    Or make an exact copy of the media files from one drive to another and make sure that the drive names and directory structure are identical. fcp will not be able to tell the difference and the files should not need any reconnecting.

  • If I upgrade to 10 will it be easy to import my projects from version 8?

    I look forward to 64 bit, I just increased to 24 gig ram and upgraded to window 7 ultimate.
    Tom

    To the best of my experience: I have absolutely no problems opening a project from PRE 8 or even older in PRE 10. But after saving in 10, you can't go back to reopen in 8.
    Another way is to use Clipmate to copy a project and put it into a newer version of PRE (also works for 10).

  • What's the best way to store old FCP projects & media?

    Hey
    I've started to accumulate more and more video content of client projects, but I don't want to delete it in case they come back a year later looking for an update on the video product I made them.
    So, what's he best way to store FCP projects and video files?
    I thought maybe a BluRay burner might do the trick.
    Any suggestions?
    Sam

    Since you're using RAW files you might peruse the DAM Forum to learn about possible other DAM (digital asset management) software and workflows. There is a wealth of information at that site.
    I useMedia Expression for my primary DAM application and iPhoto for special projects like books, calendars, etc.

  • Need to open .fcp  project from FCP7 in FCPX 10.0.3. How can I achieve this without exporting the original from FCP7 to a QT movie? I need the original timeline in FCPX.

    I have been working on a scholarship short film for a couple of months now (am a senior in high school) and have been using my school's Mac Pros with OSX 10.7 and FCP7 to edit it. Yesterday I bought a Macbook Pro and got FCPX, and am having trouble moving everything over (the computers at school are going to be wiped for the end of the year soon and I must continue to edit it on my MacBook). The project file "MattsShort.fcp" from FCP7 at school isn't even being recognized as a project file by the newest version of FCPX, so obviously I cannot open it and get to work connecting the media. How can I open this file in FCPX? Excluding exporting the project at school to a quicktime movie, I need to be able to further edit the timeline.

    Cool, thanks! I was able to import the timeline into FCPX but all of the files are offline, even though I imported the same exact clips that were in the original FCP7 project, into the same 'event' that I have the new FCPX timeline in. I believe the problem lies in that FCPX imported the clips and named them after the date and time they were created, rather than the "Clip #XXX" that FCP7 assigned to the timeline. Does this sound correct? And if so, is the only way to solve this problem to go back to FCP7 and rename all of the clips assigned to the timeline to the names FCPX gave them? I really hope there is a simpler solution but given all of the work it takes to even import a FCP7 project into FCPX, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the only solution.
    A little more info: When I use 7toX to convert the XML file, it says that my media will be offline.
    EDIT: I just watched a youtube video that explained that 7toX brings over the required media.....why isn't it doing that for me? I am on two different computers if I hadn't already said.

  • Opening an old FCp project in new Final cut?

    I was working on a previous version and recently got the new Final Cut X but now my project won't open? Any ideas?

    Unfortunately, this is just not supported in FCX, and Apple has stated they have no plans to add it in. There are some third party developers working on solutions, but no products or timelines have been announced yet.
    The best thing to do is to finish your project in FCP and use FCX for new projects.
    Eventually, converters may become available to port your old projects to FCX.

  • How do I delete old iDVD projects from my hard drive?

    I'm sure there is a simple answer to this but as I have messed up things in iPhoto before by deleting the wrong files which caused lots of problems when trying to open the application, so I just want to be sure before doing anything bad . I am still trying to get my head round where iDVD and iMovie keep all the files.
    I want to reclaim some space on my external hard drive. I have 3 iDVD projects and their related iMovie movies that I no longer need to do any more to. I have made disc images of each and burnt some DVD's of these projects therefore I don't think they need to remain on the computer. Can I delete the projects by dragging them to the trash from the folder I created to store them and then do the same with the associated iMovie projects? Will this leave the disc images intact in case I needed to burn further discs from them? Will this leave any confused links in iDVD that will affect the application. I also have the burnt dvds as a further back up so these projects are now just taking up space.

    Yes, you are on the right track here. Disk Images are entirely independent of any other files. You can trash any of your iDVD/iMovie project files and it will not affect your disk images.
    When I create disk images I give them very distinct names ... like Bob's Video Disk Image ... so it is easy to distinguish them and I always store them in a Disk Image folder ... just to cover my youknowwhat
