I'm newer to using FCP. What do I do when I receive this message while trying to open a project?
"File format is too new for this version of Final Cut Pro"
- spl33nidoru0
you upgrade to the newest version
- meaning you're using an older version of FCP that the one that created the project.spl33nidoru

You have tried to open a version of final cut pro 5 in say final cut pro version 4
What version do you have I may have a fix for you.

You could email me the file if you like and I can export it as a different format which you will be able to use.

Two things...
1. I am using a copy given to me by someone else and I cannot guarantee it was purchased (if ya know what I mean). I believe what happened is that I updated it but then a month later it asked me for the serial number. I tried the work around that was on the disc but that didn't work so I got rid of FCP and reinstalled it. If I update, am I screwed? It only started sending me the serial # message a month after updating.
2. I'm using version 6.0

Email it to me and I can send it over in a format you can use.

Chossy: check your email. Thanks again!

Okay I have the files etc.
Unfortunatly I cannot help you out as I am at work and I have to upgrade my version of final cut as well, this is something which I cannot do for you as I will have to look at all my plugins and all my raid drivers etc. etc. to see if they are compatable, and it will take forever.
I can however tell you how to fix your problem, you need to get someone with final cut version 6.0.3, they need to open the file, once opened go to all the sequences that you require then right click or control click on them and chose export from the drop down menu and then chose export XML, you will then se a box which version to chose from 1 to 4 chose 4 or 3 then once they have all the sequences exported as XML pop them into a folder and email them over to you, when you have the folder open up final cut pro chose import XML from your import menu and simple chose the XML files you require.
Sorry I couldn't open it for you and assisst you more, but rest assured the fix I have outlined for you will work.

Thanks Chossy
One more question...if I can't find someone with 6.0.3, could I update as long as I have the correct serial number?
- chossy0
of course you can, but make sure to check all your video cards if you se them and raid drivers etc. etc. cause I have upgraded before and had to download loads of new drivers for my capture cards just be careful when you upgrade, if you are using a laptop you will not be using capture cards. If you capture using firewire you will not be using capture cards .

Anyone have a serial number for Final Cut 6.0.3?
- akrokdesign0
to update to 6.0.3 the System Requirements are Mac OS X 10.4.11 or Mac OS X 10.5.2. update that first and then, update pro apps and final cut will get updated. yes you have to enter your serial again.
good luck.
