“This file is unreadable or maybe too new for this version of final cut”
Been working on a project in FCP 5.1.4 version running Leopard OS. I tried to open my project file today and it gave me this message
“This file is unreadable or maybe too new for this version of final cut”
I did not make any changes in software versions from when the file worked the day before. This also happened to a friend of mine runing FCP 6 on Leopard. Is there any know issues with this happening on Leopard? Thanks

Try duplicating and renaming the project and try to open the renamed version.
I hate myself when I say this, but FCP5 was not made with Leopard in mind. FCP 6.0.2 is the only version that is completely Leopard approved. Just stating the technicalities so please don’t take offense and I mean no disrespect or flame towards you.

I spoke with XML genius Andreas Kiel earlier today. I guess someone just hired him to solve this exact issue. He said the project won’t work on any version of FCP when the OS is Leopard. But it will work fine on Tiger. I would try that before anything else.

Wait, what? Can you explain that a bit further? What I am taking from that is FCP5 doesn’t work on Leopard?

If you have a project that was created in FCP 5, and you try to open it with FCP 6 on a Leopard system, then it doesn’t work for some people.

Got ya. Hampster has been working in 5.1.4 on Leopard and it won’t open. Nothing to do with 6.
