    I have just received a FCP project file (and all associated media) that was saved in FCP Studio 2 and I only have FCP ver.5.1.
    If I find someone who has FCP Studio 2 can I have them save the project to an older version of FCP?

    Thank you in advance

    yes,

    get them to export “XML” files.

    there are 3 or more versions of xml. have them export them all.

    I’ve done this 3 times before, it definitely works.

    Once I have found someone to export the project as XML files do I then, simply import the XML file and re-link the media?

    the .xml files will open just like a .fcp file

    and yes they will prompt you to re-link media.

    you may see a log error or 2 but it’s never caused
    a problem before.
