Thanks! Maybe you’ll know the answer to these..haha!

So I wanted to dig up an old movie i edited in 2003 so i took out the old IMac. I found the Final Cut Pro 2 sequence on there but because all the footage (capture scratch, etc.) is saved to an external hard drive i need to reconnect the material to the sequence. i hooked up my WD My Book drive to my G5 to find the clips and sure enough i backed them up on this hard drive (37 gb worth) awhile ago but for some reason all the clips say they’re Unix Executable Files?!?! Why did this happen when i backed them up instead of them staying as Quicktime files?

So here are my questions…
Tonight when i go home I want to be able to open up the FCP sequence on Final Cut Pro Studio 2 (fcp7)…will this be possible to open up an FCP 2 sequence that many versions later?

Also, please tell me why the quicktime clips did this? When i do File–>Get Info–>change open with Terminal to Quicktime they play but how will i get them to reconnect to FCP?? Do i need to go one by one and add .mov extension??

I’m very confused…i would rather not have to do the editing on the 2003 machine..i’d like to get it to work on my newest computer (27inch imac).

Can i attach a newer external that the clips are on to the old mac?

Thank you,
Jenna
