Is there anyway to go back?
Hello Everyone,
Just upgraded to Final Cut Studio 2, but have still have Final Cut Studio 1 on my laptop. On the desktop I’m running FCP 6.0, but on the laptop I’m running 5.1.4. Is there a way to save my version 6 project in a 5.1.4 format? Everytime I media manage the project over to my external HD, then try and open it on the laptop, it gives me a “this files is from a new version of fcp” error message. How do I fix that?
Thanks!

Upgrade your laptop to FCS2.
or
Try exporting an XML from FCP6 and importing that into FCP5. Uncheck save clips with latest metadata. Also try one with the include master clips selected.

Here’s a better tip. BEFORE you install any FCStudio upgrade, simply add the version number to all the studio apps filenames. Final Cut Pro becomes Final Cut Pro 5.1.2. Do this to all of them….if you like A.Pack and want to save it, take it out of the Apps folder…..the new install likes to blow it away. Now when you install it you will have all your plug ins, all your presets etc, AND you will have all previous versions on the same system. I have FCP 3.0, 4.5, 5.0.4, 5.1.2 and 6.0 on the same G5. If I am working with a client who is working in 5.0.4 and they give me a file I can still work with it without updating to a new version they cannot use. Works perfectly.
Three systems just like it and have been doing it since WAY back.
Now that’s a tip!
