You should get your hands on a version of FCP7 before they are gone if you are going to Lion (unless you keep your current machine with 6 installed)... you may need to open some of your old projects to prepare them for the xml translation to X (others can chime in if I'm wrong... I'll be testing this workflow sometime next week.)

That is good to know.
I may have to breakdown and get a new MP, so Lion will be in my future.
I guess it would be simple enough to just keep them on separate
machines though.
Time and $$$ will tell.
thanks.

Correction on my statement about Xto7 and FCP6 from the developer
himself (Philip Hodgetts):

"We're committed to making that work so yes, XML from FCP 6 should
work, but we don't have FCP 6 available to test. Whatever issues are
found, we'll fix."

Make sure and check minimum system requirements. As I recall FCP6
does not work on Lion, so you would have to stay with OSX 10.6.8.

Apple recommends installing FCPX on a separate partition, but in
practice FCP7 and FCPX coexist just fine (I've been using both here
for awhile). I assume FCP6 would be fine too, but Google will
probably help here. You cannot have both versions open at the same
time. There is a specific way of installing as FCP7 and FCPX have
the same name:

There is a $10 app that gets you from FCP7 to FCPX via XML. I assume
that it doesn't work for FCP6 but you can check with the developer.

The good keying has me interested in FCP for that feature.
Could I run FPC 6 AND X on the same machine in OS 10.6?
Do v6 project import properly into v10?
Dreaming?

"FCP X 10.0.3 contains, without a doubt, the best keyer of any
NLE, and
rivals the abilities of dedicated production tools like Adobe After
Effects and Autodesk¹s Smoke 2012 for Mac."

Here's the article:

I'm not trying to start a fight. Rather, I'm looking for clarity.
Anyone
here tried the FCPX 10.0.3 keying stuff yet? What do you think?


Thanks,
