How To Use New Final Cut Pro Project In Old Final Cut Pro?
I have two different versions of Final Cut Pro on two different macs. One is Intel and one is not, this is why I only have the latest version (7) on one computer. However, I learned that a project saved under version 7 cannot be opened in an older version of Final Cut Pro. Is there a way around this?

Hey Travis,
A quick Google search came up with a solution. Always good to check that first 🙂
It basically has to do with exporting your project as an XML file. A full step-by-step can be found here: https://www.midcmedia.com/blog/reverting-final-cut-po-7-project-to-work-with-older-versions-of-final-cut/
Peace!

Hi Travis,
If you do a search on this forum, you’ll find out this topic has been covered a lot.
Short answer, no-there’s no setting, plug-in that can do this. However you can use an XML export to re-create the sequence on the older FCP. But if you want to bounce back and forth between computers, it’s not a great option.
Good Luck,
