  Compatability issues between FCP 4.5 & 5.

  Posted by Stevec on November 7, 2005 at 4:49 pm

  We have three FCP systems 2 have 4.5 and 1 has 5.

  Is there a way to start a project on 5 then moving it to 4.5?
  Is there a “Save as 4.5” feature or anything like that?

  Also I noticed that if I digitize media on 5 (with 1V and 2A channels) when we opening it on 4.5 there is only 1 Audio channle.

  Has anyone else noticed this and is there a way around it.

  Thanks

  Steve

  FCP is not designed to let you go backwards, no.

  You can export XML 1.0 out of FCP 5 and import that into 4.5

  Ok that’s fine, but that didn’t answer my other question about the media having different attributes in 4.5 then it was recorded with in 5.

  “Also I noticed that if I digitize media on 5 (with 1V and 2A channels) when we opening it on 4.5 there is only 1 Audio channle.

  I think the answer is “yep, that’s what happens.”
