They will work ok together. However, their respective system requirements re: QT & version of the OS will change at different rates over time as new version/software updates are released. I would recommend adding a second internal hard drive and dual booting for the appropriate NLE.
While normally I would recommend Avid as my NLE of choice (the trim tool is the best on the market by far) I think for ease of transition in terms of both hardware and transferable skills and media – Adobe Premiere is probably the way to go.
Not at all. What a nightmare. The only other thing I could suggest is FCS maintenance – https://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsmaintenance/
it has a project repair app included, and is free for a trial period.
I just cracked open Motion 5 and thought “now we’re getting somewhere – this is where I can control my effects properly” but can you really not send a clip to and from FCP X to Motion 5? Really?
Hi. Had this error today myself, but on autosave project files. found that manually adding .fcp to the end made it work. Somewhere else i saw it mentioned that you should name it a .txt file, then name it .fcp.
