Will I lose Fx from plugins on my FCP project if update to the newer FCP

[Randal Plunkett] “will I lose the work and plugins on my timeline. Or will the fx still be there once I re open the project in 7? Any one?”

First, if you update over the top of FCS2 you may end up with a system that has loads of issues. There isn’t one Cow leader who would advise you to do anything but a fresh install.

However, if you insist, you won’t lose your work (which should be backed-up elsewhere anyway), but you will absolutely lose your plugins.

Thanks MR Weiss, I hadn’t planned on installing over I would install fresh, so i guess I l have to wait til I finish my project then. Thank you so much for taking the time to help, your a gentlemen and a scholar

You won’t lose the Nattress filters on your timeline as they are written in FxScript and actually get stored ‘within’ the FCP project.

However, a fresh instal is always a good idea and using the latest intsallers from plugin vendors assures compatibility.
