You will need the PRO version “CatDVPRO 9.0.1”
It worked for me FCP 7 to FCP X.
When you send the project from CatDV PRO to FCP X it will launch FCP X.

You will need CatDV PRO 9.0.1. Will not work with CatDV standard version.

It worked great for me, but have not exported anything complex.

Final Cut Pro X

Apple’s new Final Cut Pro X application uses a completely different project format which is incompatible with FCP 6 and 7. With the FCP X 10.0.1 update it is again possible to exchange clips and sequences between CatDV and FCP X, using the new .fcpxml file format which CatDV 9 can read and write.
This provides a way to migrate FCP 7 projects over to FCP X:
Open your project in FCP 7, then export it as XML from FCP 7. (You will need to quit FCP X first. Even though it’s possible to install both versions on the same machine, you can only have one copy of Final Cut Pro running at one time.)
Import the XML file into CatDV. If necessary, check the Extra tracks & sequences option in CatDV’s preferences if you want to bring over more complex sequences (but remember that CatDV only provides very rudimentary cuts-only sequence support).
Select the sequence you want to send over and choose Export as FCP X XML File to save a .fcpxml file
Open this file in FCP X (again, you will have to quit FCP 7 first if it is running on that machine) to create a new project with the timeline.
When exporting an FCP X XML file you can either export a list of clips (to create a new event in the FCP X Event Library) or export a single sequence (to create a new project in the FCP X Project Library, including any clips it depends on in a new event if necessary). You can’t mix events and projects in the same .fcpxml file however. You can also go the other way and export an event or a project as an .fcpxml file from FCP X and import that into CatDV. As well as clips and sequences, metadata in the form of descriptions and timecode markers can be sent across.

I’ve been using the wacom tablet since 1998 for video editing. First used it with Quantel Edit Box & Henry which was designed to be used with Wacom. There was no mouse option. I later adopted it for Final Cut and Avid which it work very well. I currently use a Graphire CTE 640 6×8 or medium, and the Bamboo small. The smaller size allows you to cover more area quicker, but when doing precise rotoscoping, and with avid animate, the larger tablet is better. You also have an option to zoom in with the larger Graphire tablet. The mouse is like working with a rock in your hand. I can’t believe it’s still around.

Hey Randall, I never did find out why. I did contact Apple Support, and they tried a DSR- DU1 on their system like mine and it worked for them. They could only suggest my DU1 was the problem. I reformatted my DU1 and still had the problem. I did not have any more time to mess with this so I picked up a DR-60 and that works well. At this time I would not buy a DR 60, I would get the HVR-MRC1K.
Sorry I do not have a solution, I’ll try the DU1 one more time.
