using FCP7 and FCPX on the same system
like a fool, I bought and installed FCPX, Color, and Motion before waiting to see how everything will pan out…now, as I try to open FCP7, I am getting error message
“This version of FCP is incompatible w/ Motion 5 which is installed on a directory that previously contained Motion 4. Pls move Motion 5 to another directory and restart FCP.”
what’s the best workaround?

Do what it says – move the Motion 4 application to a new folder (call it “Motion 4” why not? Go crazy) and start again. It should work fine.

I didn’t want to move anything or make any partitions until I got some feedback…but I found a FAQ that said:
Q: Why do I get an error message when I launch Final Cut Pro 7 saying it is incompatible with Motion 5?
A: After installing Motion 5, you need to launch Motion 4 and then close it again to make this error disappear.
It worked. FAQ is here:
