  upgrade path from FC Express?

  Posted by Jimmy Brunger on February 19, 2008 at 10:23 am

  Does anyone know if there is an upgrade path to FCS2 from Final Cut Express?

  I nweed a quick and cheap solution to do some DV editing on my Powerbook G4 to then export and EDL to Premiere Pro 2.

  I don’t have the cash for FCS at the mo and wasn’t really planning on buying it for myself, but at least if I can upgrade from FCE then it’s not money wasted.

  Oh, can FCE spit out a CMX3600 by the way?

  Thanks.

  There is no upgrade path from FCE to FCP.

  Not to worry. Thanks.

  Can you output EDLs from FCE though?

  No, you can’t, but you can open an FCE project in a corresponding version of FCP.

  All the best,

  Tom
