We have a way to restore old projects from LTO tape thanks to Archiware P5, a way to identify, rename and bulk convert old footage in an easy fashion thanks to Kyno and now also a way to convert FCP7 with SendToX and Retroactive to make it more seamless. One of the first things you need to learn, when converting from Final Cut Pro 7 to Final Cut Pro X is to be aware of what keyboard short cuts are the same. Almost easier to convert FCP7 to FCPX in one shot but it worked and we were happily editing old projects in the latest version of FCPX. What to do?īack to the old iMac and we used FCPX 10.2.3 to convert these projects from 10.0 version to 10.2.3 library which can then be converted to the latest FCPX 10.4 format. There was a menu for a while to convert these projects but it was now gone. Latest version of FCPX 10.4 did not know what to do with these projects that were also some times stored on sparse disk images (oh how the Xsan did not like these projects at the time). Some of the restored projects didn’t use FCP7 they used early versions of FCPX with their events and projects folders separated (not the current library structure). Archive restored, FCP7 projects converted to FCPX. We also used Kyno to drill down into all the restored projects to identify en masse all the restored footage that it incompatible with FCPX. And then FCP7 to XML to sendtoX to FCPX is not too bad.
