    If I have a self contained movie exported from FCP version 6 (or earlier for that matter) and I want to import it into FCP 7, are there any issues? Many times I archive older projects, that I do not believe will need further edits, as self contained movies. Can I import them to newer versions of FCP without issue?

    Yes, self contained movies shouldn’t be a problem.

    Trying to read a FCP7 project in FCP6 is a problem though

    Yes,

    The self-contained movie will be perfectly usable–having the characteristics of the original sequence settings. A self-contained movie is just a Quicktime movie.
