Oct 19, 2015 2:11 PM in response to mbi381by Meg The Dog,★HelpfulThe FCP-7 editor needs to export XML files, using their copy of FCP-7, and send those files and the media they are working with to you.
Then you need to use the app 7 to X:
http://assistedediting.intelligentassistance.com/7toX/
to convert those files into something FCP- X can read.
Make sure you read through the 7 to X web site as XML is a very terse format and may not pass everything that was done to the edit in FCP-7.

Oct 19, 2015 2:15 PM in response to Meg The Dogby mbi381,Thank you for the feedback. The problem is that I have all of the original drives and my editor is out of the country. So, I need to figure out a way to work with the files I have. Is there another solution short of having to buy FCP7 for another few hundred dollars (it's even more expensive than FCPX)? Can I convert to XML without FCP7?

No, you must open the FCP- 7 project files in FCP-7 and do the xml export.
You won't need to load the media on the machine with FCP-7, just the project files.
If someone you know has FCP-7, they will be able to do this for you and hand you the xml files to convert.
