Strange behavior after upgrade from FCP 5.14 to FCP 6
So I upgraded to FCS 2 from FCS1. I edited a film last year in FCP 5.1.4 and never heard from the client again. I did get paid so the project sat on my hard drive. It was shot with Sony F900 and delivered to me as DVCAM QuickTimes (each tape was a large QT file not individual takes). The edit went smoothly.
FCP2 came out. All other projects were completed so I upgraded (not before making a Clone with SuperDuper! to a FW drive with OS X 10.4.8 and FCS 1).
Then I hear from this client. They want to do a title sequence and finish the film. I make a back up of the project file in the event I need to go back to FCP 5.1.4 because I know FCP 6 will update it. FCP 6 updates the project and now every cut is off. Everything is out of sync I see slates where they shouldn’t be it is a total mess.
Boot from my clone and open the project and all is well so I export an XML. Boot into current drive with OS X 10.4.9.1.0 and import the XML into FCP 6. It is still all offset.
I don’t have a capture card as I cut narrative and 9 time out of 10 I don’t have to digitize. So it is not a driver issue.
Any ideas why the whole cut would be off? Apple tech support doesn’t know and had no answers– said they only heard about this maybe 3 times.
But if this is an issue, how does one say cut in FCP 5.1.4 and finish somewhere else in FCP 6 and send to Color? If the cut gets all mucked up?
Any suggestions?

Can you make a self-contained movie from v5.14?

Yes I did this as a reference so I can re-sync everything but there are hundreds of cuts and it is not sound mixed or color corrected, so it would be nice if they were individual clips in the timeline not one big clip.
