[steve yager] “Judging from the origin date of this thread, I’m guessing this was probably a feature of an early version of FCP X. There’s no trace of FCP 7 on my system anymore and a quick Google search reveals that FCP X overwrites 7 these days.

FWIW, I own the Boris transfer program and it works quite well. The major mistakes seem to show up in clips where speed is altered. I also have Boris Red, which is the non-Avid version of Avid FX, and the transfer program does a nice job of bringing transitions across.
