  Importing XML Files from Final Cut Pro 6 to Final Cut Pro 5

  Posted by Shawna Glover on November 28, 2008 at 4:22 pm

  Hi,

  I am working on a documentary… I did some editing on a friends computer. He has Final Cut Pro 6. We exported the FCP file to an XML file so that I can open it in FCP 5 on my computer but is asking me to “Choose a translation file”. Does anyone know what this means?

  Thx

  What version XML was used to export? Try version 2.

  All the best,

  Tom

  Hi there !

  I tried the same: to open a “fcp” editing project I did on my laptop with FCP 5 and open it on a G5 macintosh which also runs FCP 5. First I had an error message (“general error 41” or “51”. I searched and read on few forums I cannot open fcp project I worked on a computer to another). I tried “xml” format and I got the same message as Shawna Glover-> “Choose a translation file”.
  What is a translation file ? Do you have any documentation which can hlp me understanding this “xml” format ?

  Thanks !
