    Posted by Matt Goldschmidt on July 6, 2005 at 3:02 pm

    is there anyway to take projects that are made in v4.5 and see and edit them in v4.0? I have 4.5 on my laptop – and I have a client who has 4.0 – Id like to take projects home with me, but I have a compatability issue.

    HELP

    You can use an EDL but that’s about it.
    It is far easier and cheaper (just do the math on how long it will take you to convert and transconvert your EDLs a few times) to simply buy your client an update if he’s too stupi– erm, silly or cheap to buy it himself.
    You can probably find a way to get in the invoice but the rationalization a simple bottom line calculation. Plus he’ll get all that cool new stuff with 4.5.

    Umm, why don’t you all celebrate your collaboration and upgrade to FCP5 while you’re at it?

    This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

    you can use XML to move projects backward.

    see this article:

    but what’s to stop him upgrading to 4.5?

    it’s free.
