a safe way to dabble in fcp5
Can a wise FCP sage provide an answer to a simple riddle.
I have a new project.
I have FCP5.
Dieing to play in FCP5, dying to work in it, but have no time for a system melt down.
So, I’d like to experiment cutting some footage in FCP5.
The question- what would be a strategy for me to get a “straight cut” edit out of FCP5 into FCP4.5. Obviously, project files aren’t backwards compatible, but is there a way to export/import XML data, or a EDL, and import that “general” data into FCP4.5, should I need to quickly move back into the stable waters of FCP5?
Hope this questions isn’t confusing….

Hi Byrd
Theoretically, you should be able to export a straight cuts edit from FCP5 using XML and reimport to FCP4.5.
Make sure you use the compatible implementation of XML ie. v1.Apple XML v2 is only supported by FCP5.
