    I would say don’t count on it.

    express only supports 2 or 3 codecs anyways.

    FCP can open Express projects, most of the time.

    It does not work the other way.

    No clue on AE.

    So you mean Express won’t open any FCP projects period?

    That’s precisely what I mean. That’s the way Apple designed it.
