FCPX:

Does it ship with the update that makes it backwards compatible with FCP7 files?
Does it import mini-DV files from a Sony FX-1?
Have spent 4 years working with FCP7, about how long will my learning curve be on FCPX?

Thx

I just read that FCP X is not backwards compatible with FCP 7 files. If that is correct and if
FCP 7 won’t run on Lion I think I’ll be changing machines. I can’t run a business like this.
Is Apple nuts?

Any ideas on affordable Photoshop?
How many 30 day trials can I get away with?

I’ve worked with Adobe & Apple product for 25 years so I’m a bit of a dinosaur. Dinosaur-like I just kept whatever I was using on externals, never really worried about updating. I bought software personally in early years and it was purchased by ad agencies on my behalf in later years and installed often by others.

Last week my Macbook Pro was stolen and I bought a new one with Lion on it and now nothing works.
It’s a world of serial numbers and registrations and I have learned that I’m not registered for much. Photoshop CS2 and Final Cut Pro 7 were my key tools, so I’m basically out of business until I come up with more money than I’ve just spent. I’m also hurting for Acrobat Pro, but that’s only a couple hundred dollars.

Any advice?

Not sure what insurance will cover. Can I buy some kind of wholesale copy of an earlier version and do upgrades?

Is there anything I can do with an uncertified no-serial FCP7 on my new Macbook Pro with Lion.
It just won’t open.
