  projects that look back

  Posted by Dale Fakess on August 5, 2005 at 2:51 am

  We are about to upgrade a G5 2.5 Mhz to Tiger from Panther and FCP from version 4.5 to 5.0. Does anyone know if the projects produced under the Panther OS will look back under the newer Tiger OS?

  Thanks,
  Dale

  FCP 5 can open FCP 4.5 projects…but FCP 4.5 cannot open a FCP 5 project. It can look back, not forward. The the version of the OS doesn’t matter.

  BUT…before you convert a 4.5 project to a 5.0 project, DUPLICATE it and add FCP 5 to the name. In case you run into problems. This way you can still use the fcp 4.5 project (with FCP 4.5)…because once you convert the project, there is no going back…
