    Hi All,

    I’m a newbie not only to the forum, but also to FCP and even more so to using a Mac!

    Why wouldn’t you update both editing computers to avoid all possible version-related issues in FCP? It’s free of charge.
    BTW, what it’s saying?

    Apologies once again – I did warn you I was a newbie 🙂
