Working between different versions of FCP

Hi folks,
I've seen some posts where this is addressed a bit, but not for the versions of FCP that I'm dealing with so I wanted to see if anyone had any insight.
I have one of the final generation PowerPC G5s and I got FCP 5.0 (as part of FCS) when I bought the system. Somehow I missed the universal upgrade to 5.1 while it was offered (I know, I know, they offered it for like two years, I have no idea how I missed it) and so I'm maxed out at 5.0.4 because none of the newer version will run on my system.
At the moment I have a short film I directed and cut in 5.0 and the last bit of work (color correction and dropping in the final auidio mix) was done in 5.1. I'm wondering if there is a way to open that 5.1 project in 5.0 so that I can make some additional changes.
I've seen posts about exporting XMLs to move projects between 6.0 and 5.1, but I wasn't sure if that worked between only between those two versions
Is there a similar method to go between 7.0 and early versions if I end up upgrading my machine?
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks in adavance,
Avi

You can use XML to make a version 7 project open as far back as version 4. All you need to do is choose the correct version of XML:
FCP4 supports XML version 1 only
FCP5 supports XML versions 1 and 2
FCP5.1 supports XML versions 1, 2 and 3
FCP6 supports XML versions 1, 2, 3 and 4
FCP7 supports XML versions 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Working with different versions of FCP

My apologies if this is answered somewhere else but is there any way to work on a newer version of FCP then take that project to an older version?
We have 5.1 at home but the workplace has 5.0. I'd like to do some work at home and am not sure how take the project back on forth.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum!
XML exports and imports will allow you to go back and forth with sequences. But since the crossgrade is so inexpensive, I'd suggest the office buy the latest software, so you don't waste time and effort doing this. I don't think every single aspect of what you do at home will translate completely with XML being the transfer technique.
There's a fine article written by Philip Hodgetts on the subject here: http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/xmlhodgetts.html

Is there a way to edit a project on two different versions of FCP?

I am editing for a director who has a higher version of FCP. I don't want to upgrade because it will interfere with my work with other directors. But I'd like to be able to take the film that's now on 6.0.4 to my computer, which is running 6.0.1. I thought I'd heard somewhere about exporting an edl and being able to use that? I don't know anything about this, so if anyone can let me know if that's possible and and what the work flow is, it would be great!
thanks

See if there's a way with your current configuration to make this idea work:
Clone your 2nd internal drive volume onto an external drive, then clone your boot drive volume onto the 2nd internal volume (erasing everything that's on the 2nd internal first.)
Now you have two identical boot drives in your G5. With one of them booted, invoke Software Update, and update Final Cut to v6.0.4. Use that volume to work on this project, and when you have to work on a project that requires v6.0.1, boot to that drive volume.
The downside is that your media files will now be on a firewire drive, but that's doable. Better yet, buy an eSATA PCI card and install it in your G5, and buy an eSATA external enclosure for your media drives. Perfect.

Can PI work with different versions of MQ?

Hello
I have requirment to let PI (7.1) communication with different versions of MQ (5.3 and 6.0). However I doubt that this is possible.
As for MQ, the JMS drivers of the MQ needs to be deployed to PI. For MQ 5.3 and 6.0, different drivers (6.0 has additional jar files as 5.0) are to be packaged into com.sap.aii.adapter.lib.sda and deployed to PI. There is no way you can deploy different version of drivers onto the same PI box. even if you can deploy different version of hte driver to PI box, it won't work in runtime, simply because, when the driver is loaded, there is no way to tell PI class loader which version of class (driver) to load.
how do you guys think of this?
Thanks
Jayson

Hi
I think that the 6.0 version should be backword compatible and should work with 5.3 also.
Did you tried it?

MDM between different versions of SAP

Hi,
Scenario: I have two SAP systems. A is 4.6C and B is ECC 6.0
Is it possible to use one MDM between the two system?
E.g.
(SAP 4.6C) <--> (SAP MDM) <--
> (SAP ECC 6.0)

Hi Riaan,
Yes, i think you can use MDM for different versions of SAP. As you know Data communicates between R/3 to MDM using PI, so in PI during Configuring Scenario, when you Transfer Integration Scenario from Integration Repository, you have option to use Version Number for Same SAP System during Assign Services.
Also in Integration Builder:Design of PI , you can use Import software components Version which can be transfer from System Landscape Directory (SLD) using Tools from Menu Bar.
This is because you have Registered SAP Sytem in SLD.
Also, In SLD you have Software Catalogs under this Software Component here you have registered software component with Versions for the Same SAP Product.
Hope it will help you,

Hi johnd...
Im using VLC 1.1.2 (i can not update because i have a DVDT2 card to capture the digital terrestrial television and it only work in this version). I have all the firewalls down.
This is the output for the show ip igmp snooping groups on the 2960.
80 230.0.0.50 igmp v2 Gi1/0/21, Gi1/0/24
Port G1/0/21 is where the receiver is conected and the 24port is the trunk.
Jon, i revert and this is the output. I put the ip pim rp-address the same of the lookpback that i create previously.

The strange thing is that I have more than 40 vlans and it only fail in some vlans like 80.

2 'different' versions of FCP on same computer, possible?

I'm cutting a show on the pre-Intel FCP, latest version, installed on the full edit suite.
I want to do some extra work on my laptop, which has the Intel version of FCP installed, but need to use the prior version of FCP (to be able to move the project back and forth).
Can I install the previous version of FCP (non-Intel) on my laptop SIMULTANEOUSLY with the Intel version, and just open whichever I need to use? Or am I looking for serious trouble doing that?
Thanks,
Ben

I have FCP 4.5, 5.0.4, 5.1.1 and 5.1.2 on my system...all separate applications. I do this so that I can work on projects created with the previous versions and not update it and make it unusable by the original party.
For example, I am currently cutting a show using FCP 5.0.4, even though I have 5.1.2 on my system. I open the 5.0.4 application, THEN open the file and all is well.

Export and Import transport request between different version?

Hi,
I have tried to Export the transport requests from ECC5 to ECC6 via STMS .Its not throughing any error but no Master datas are transported. Anyone have idea about that?

Hello,
From my experience SAP didn't recomneded transporting from 46C -> ECC5.
The structure of tables and objects are a little bit different between different
releases.

Working with previous version of FCP

Please excuse me if this has been recently answered, as my computer has been stalling a lot as I search for an answer (that twirling thing going around and around) and I need some feedback as soon as I can.
I have to make a trailer within the next month for my documentary, and have captured and logged some of the footage. I have recently upgraded to FCP 5.1.4 and have a Powerbook G4 with 10.4.9.
The editor that can help me in a week has version 5.1.2, with another project already on her computer system. She is away in South America for a week but we are in email contact.
She told me that she would have to upgrade to 5.1.4; that she does not think she use my footage that was captured using FCP 5.1.4 on her 5.1.2 FCP version, but is hesitant to dump the current project off her system. I assume that should she upgrade to 5.1.4 she could go back to the project that was being edited on 5.1.2, but what do I know.
I don't have any sequences as yet, just some footage captured and logged onto my external FW drive, which I had planned to bring to her.
Clearly she will be going back to the project now on her system, and I'm wondering if I will have to find another editor at this late date who has 5.1.4
Please advise if she is correct about not being able to import my footage and edit on her system. Again, no sequences made as yet, just clips logged and captured.
Thank you in advance!
15" Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9) 1 GHz, 1 GB SDRAM, 60 GB HD

yes, working in DV, everything captured using a SONY
DSR-20 deck
Good. Any media captured will fine on the other system, just import them from the Finder.
I'm reading about XML now
XML is perfect to send over anything from within your newer FCP project. Export XML on your end, import on the other.
I think we'll be okay -- she can always VIEW the
footage on my system and then we can decide which
clips to bring into her system for the purposes of
the trailer.
You'll be fine. She can bring in all the clips. DV storage is cheap, better to have too much than not enough.
again, thank you!
You are welcome and good luck.

How do I share iTunes library between different versions of iTunes

I have an old motorola powerPC based iMac which is running Mac OS 9. The latest iTunes version for the old Mac is 9.2. I also have various computers including an Intel Mac and other Windows PCs that run the latest iTunes version 10.6.3.
When I tried to share a playlist from iTunes 9.2, the other 10.6.3 iTunes do not see it.
When I shared a playlist from iTunes 10.6.3, the other 10.6.3 iTunes see it with no problem.
The iTunes 9.2 also see a shared playlist from the 10.6.3 iTunes showing up between the Store and Genius section on the left pane, but as soon as I click on it, it disappears after it made an attempt to open it.
Is there a way to make the cross version sharing work?
If not, is it possible to upgrade my iTunes to 10.6.3 on Mac OS 9?
When I use "check for update" within iTunes, it says my 9.2 is up to date.

iTunes 10.6 requires a computer running OSX 10.5.8 or greater.
I don't know much about playlist sharing but it does not surprise me at all there are issues between computers that span over a decade. I'm not sure if there is anybody around Apple who even remembers OS9.

Can You Have Two Different Versions of FCP On A Computer?

Maybe this has already been covered, but I can't find it...
I have FCP 6 installed on my MacBook, but the company I'm going to be doing work for next week needs me on FCP v5. Is it possible to install BOTH versions on the same computer without conflicts? Ideally, I'd like to leave the complete FCS2 on my computer but add/install ONLY FCP5 from the FCS1 disks.
Am I dreaming or must I uninstall FCS2 to reinstall FCS1? Or is there another option, such as installing onto an external drive?
Thanks for your help?

While it certainly isn't recommened by Apple (and a few others) to keep multiple versions on one computer, many do and I haven't had any issues with it in the past. Here is a link that might be helpful.

Moving a project between two versions of FCP- Home and College

Hope someone can help. We're editing a project on an iMac at home, and a G5 at college. Our iMac is running FCP 5, the college ones are still on FCP 4. If we open the saved files, from an external HD, that we have been working on in college, we cannot then open those files in college again. We don't have version 4 to install on our machine, and the college won't buy version 5. Is there any way artound this problem, or do we have to work on the project in sections, then assemble the final peice on the iMac? We can get advice and help in college, and we need our teacher to help us with certain sections, so we need to be able to open up the project in college too, after we've worked on it at home.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, no XML in version 4.0 - it was introduced in 4.1 (which, unlike the upgrade from 5.0.x to 5.1, is simply a download from Apple, if the school will let you update).
In terms of what version of XML you should use:
Version 1 for FCP 4.1 to 4.5 (aka FCP HD)
Version 2 for FCP 5.0.0 to FCP 5.1.1
Version 3 for FCP 5.1.2 to 5.1.4
(Version 4 for FCP 6.0)

Export and import between different versions

Hi everyone,
I have some databases in Oracle 7.2, and others in 9i Release 2. Sometimes we have to do exports and imports between them, and I want to know if running the catexp.sql or the catext7.sql file also applies to 9iR2 version.
Thanks in advance,
Tania L.

According to what I have heard yes but I have not tested.
