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.

  • 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

  • When trying to generate pdf file from firefox 7.0.1 , getting corrupt content error, used to work with previous versions of firefox

    We have done toleration testing on firefox version 5 thru 6 and haven't got an issue with our website generating pdf files for our users. One of our users upgraded to firefox version 7.0.1 and they tried to generate a pdf report, now a screen pops up with Corrupted Content Error The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the data transmission was detected. I recreated this issue on my pc yesterday by installing firefox 7.0.1. Any hints as to what I need to look at would help. Cannot provide the url because it is a secure website for law enforcement. Thanks.

    You can turn off compatibility checking, but more and more of the Google Toolbar will not work. Google is no longer supporting the Google Toolbar so you should use the alternatives.

  • The Norton Toolbar 4.6 is disabled in Firefox 4 while it is working in previous version of Firefox. In Firefox 4 it opens with massage Norton Toolbar is incompatible in firefox 4. Is this problem have any solution?? pls tell me.

    The Norton Toolbar 4.6 is disabled in Firefox 4 while it is working in previous version of Firefox. In Firefox 4 it opens with massage Norton Toolbar is incompatible in firefox 4. Is this problem have any solution?? pls tell me.

    Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have released an update for Norton 360 to make it compatible with Firefox 4, for details see http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
    I do not know about other Norton products, but if you run Norton LiveUpdate it should inform you if there are updates available. If no updates are available, you can downgrade to Firefox 3.6 if you want to use the Norton add-ons.
    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  • Iphoto will not open I am asked to check with developer that iphoto works with this version of OS x I have followed all the steps recomended and reinstalle ILife but to no avail

    Iphoto will not open I am asked to check with developer that iphoto works with this version of OS x. I have Mountain Lion OS X I have followed all the steps recomended  by T Devlin in a previous discussionand reinstalle ILife but to no avail

    To reinstall iPhoto you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the:
    HD/Library/Receipts folder (10.5 and earlier)
    or from the /var/db/receipts/  folder (10.6) .
    or from the /private/var/db/receipts folder (10.7 or later)
    Then install iPhoto from the source it came from originally.

    Solved, had to repair the Z10 with the PC!  Would have thought that upgrading software would have saved the environment so that this step was not needed (played with this for several weeks on-and-off).

  • Iphoto library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto. Will my Facebook albums remain?

    I just upgraded my computer to yosemite and that includes the iPhoto application.
    After opening iPhoto it says "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto." I'm worried that if I chose to upgrade I will 1. lose all my photos and 2. have my synced facebok albums taken off Facebook.
    One time I moved my iPhoto library to an external hard drive and lost all my Facebook album photos so I don't want to make the same mistake.
    So does anyone know if I chose to go through with this upgrade will I lose my photos in the iPhoto and the synced albums on Facebook? If I do lose photos, how do I go recover my previous iPhoto version?

    Just to confirm. When I saved a copy of my iPhoto library on my external harddrive that's "backing-up" right?
    Also, is there anyway on Facebook to tell which albums are synced with my iPhoto so that I know which ones will be gone if something does go wrong?
    Sorry one more question Larry. I keep reading issues people are having with upgrading their iPhoto to 9.6 and the upgraded iPhoto does not recognize their library (see: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6676471). If this happens to me and I have to repair or re-install my iPhoto will my Facebook albums be affected?
    Thanks for your help Larry I appreciate it

    Happy to report that iTunes Match has returned to working like normal on iTunes 10.7 on my computer today. If any iTunes engineers read this thread, I really appreciate the fix.
    Has it returned to normal for you?

  • I recently downloaded / installed FCP X before reading to NOT install it on a volume containing a previous version of FCP. I installed FCP X in the same Applications folder as FCP v6. I have moved FCP 6 to the trash, but now, should I reinstall FCP X?

    Hi Andy, You say that when installing FCP X the old FCP should move to a new folder called Final Cut Studio. I have just installed FCP X Trial and checked in the applications folders and nothing has changed. Final Cut Pro is where it has always been.
    Hmm. I din't have experience of the trial version - maybe it doesn't move legacy FCP.
    Make a new folder (Final Cut Studio) in the Applications folder, and drag FCP there.
    I have also found that the sound effects in FCP X keep disappearing and I need to re start FCP X for them to appear again. This has happened several times today.
    This could be a case of a conflict with Final Cut Pro. What do you think?
    I doubt it, but FCP X is a fickle application.
    If moving FCP doesn't fix it, post a new topic to ask about this.

  • My web pplication does not working with new version of firefox 31. It uses heatmap.js plugin for leaflet.js to build temperature map.

    There is site for heatmap.js: http://www.patrick-wied.at/static/heatmapjs/example-heatmap-leaflet.html
    It has example for leaflet layer.
    After update firefox to version 31 I could not see temperature map in browser for this example. But with previous version of firefox I could see it.
    My web application users leaflet.js and heatmap.js plugin. It users the same code as on the example page.
    After updating firefox version it saying "your script take too long time to run. Continue?" again and again and temperature map does not appear.
    I use leaflet-0.7.2.js and heatmap-1.0.js plugin for leaflet.

    Seems to be working here.

  • The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto??

    Just got this message after upgrading to Mavericks...
    The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto.
    Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete.
    Is is ok to go ahead with this?
    I have done a back up to my time machine but I am concerned when it says the library will not be readable by previous versions, what happens if I have to restore my Mac from the time machine, which would mean reverting back to Snow Leopard?

    Well you have two choices - upgrade the iPhoto library and use it - or not upgreade it and stop using - the current version can not use older libraries so unless you upgrade the library to match the application version you can not use iPhoto
    And as warned once you upgrade the libary then older versions will not be able to use it

  • My iphoto on my imac somehow updated on its own and now its saying "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto." have i lost my photos?

    I tried to open my iphoto last night on my iMAC and it somehow updated on it's own and now has a message saying  "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto. Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade.The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete." I only have the option to quit or upgrade. What does this mean? Have i lost my pictures? i don't properly have my back up hard drive set up so all my pictures aren't backed up.

    "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto. Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade.The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete."
    After your iPhoto application got updated to a new version, iPhoto will convert the iPhoto library to a new format, that is used by the new version. The warning tells you, that after this upgrade older iPhoto versions will no longer be able to read the iPhoto library. If you have a second Mac with older software that might be important. Make a backup to be on the safe side and let iPhoto upgrade the library.

  • After updating iTunes to 11.0.1.12 and updating Apple TV to 5.1.1 my Apple TV is no longer picking up my photo library. It just keeps saying "loading library" but never brings the pictures up. This didn't happen with previous versions. Any ideas?

    After updating iTunes to 11.0.1.12 and updating Apple TV to 5.1.1 my Apple TV is no longer picking up my photo library. It just keeps saying "loading library" but never brings the pictures up. It also tells me that home sharing isn't on even though it is and then I have to turn it off and on on the PC so the Apple TV even recognizes the photo library. These issues didn't happen with previous versions. Any ideas?

    Update on my previous comment. I have solved my issue. Issue was with Windows 7 firewall not operating correctly. I was unable to add itunes to the 'Allow programs to communicate through windows firewall'. Found the following page useful http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/windows-fire wall-cant-change-some-of-your-settings/514d78fb-39e9-47b1-b561-bc49cbdad904
    Followed the instructions to the foot of the page, restarted PC, normal service resumed on windows firewall, added itunes to list to communicate through firewall. restarted itunes, restarted appletv, success!!!
    Hope this may help somone else.
