  • Can’t open a FCP project in FCE?

    Posted by Kevin C. on September 29, 2007 at 10:03 pm

    I was told at Apple store that I would be able to open my editors FCP project file in FCE 3.0. I would just not be able to edit. But when I try to open I get “general error 40”
    the file just has white page icon.

    What Apple store was this? That’s very wrong. This has never been supported by Apple. What version of FCP is this BTW? There may be ways around it.

    All the best,

    Tom
