How to export a FCP7 project to FCP6

Based on info from Rick Young’s Blog at MacVideo.tv, 16 Nov 2009

How to export a FCP7 project to FCP6:

  • Export XML from the FCP7 project – choose Apple XML Interchange Format, version 4 (not 5).
  • Open this in FCP6 then manually reconnect the media.

Alternatives that don’t work:

  • Export a project as Apple XML Interchange Format, version 5  then import this into Final Cut Pro 6 – it asks for a Template.
  • Export EDLs from the FCP7 project and try to bring these into the FCP6 project – doesn’t work.
