Q: Migrate from Final Cut Pro X Trial Library

I was using the Trail of FCPX and when it ended I decided to buy the full version. How can I transfer what I was working on in the trial to the full version of the app. Whenever I open it up it just tells me I need to buy the full version. I am just looking for a way to migrate my old projects to the new full app.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch,Early 2015), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

    Whenever I try to open it

     

    What's it? The library? Try opening the version purchased from the App Store, and then opening the library from inside the application. Or right-clicking on the library in the Finder and selecting the version to open it.

    You have both the trial version and the paid version installed.

     

    You are seeing that message because the trial version is being opened install of the full version.

     

    Just trash the trial version (it is not working anymore, anyway), and either double-click the library you were using or directly open the full Final Cut Pro application in any of the usual ways (double-click it in the Applications folder, click the Dock icon, use Spotlight...).
