Open MC 5.5.3 project in MC 6?
I recently switched to MC from FCP and have started my first project. I’d like to continue the project with MC 6. The only thing that has been done is media has been imported with DNxHD, audio has been synced to the video clips, and sequences have been assembled for the dailies. Any issues upgrading to MC 6 and opening that project in it?

Ive not had the pleasure of using mc6 yet, but in general forward compatibility is normal so you should be ok. backward compatibility not so. so opening a 5.5 in 6.0 should be ok, but the 6.0 session may not open in 5.5 any more.

In general, even backwards usually works, as long as you don’t use any of the new features, such as surround or specific RTAS plugins.
I’m LOVING v6, btw. It’s nice to see the activity monitors pegging out at 80-90% on ALL the processors when I do a render! Very fast.

I have tested forwards and backwards between 6 and 5.5 and its worked great. Like mentioned, some effects and features can lock you into the current version, but bins of footage and basic sequences have always been compatible with Avid.

Ok thanks for the tips. I went ahead and did the install. Having some serious problems though. I’ll post another thread about it. Need help.
