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.
