2 computers 2 FCPX versions

hi.

I have and iMac and an older MacBook Pro . the laptop is from 2016 so the OS can't be updated no more, stuck at Sierra. While my iMac is up to date it has a newer version of FCPX. I still wish to use my laptop to edit projects that I already might have started on the iMac.


is there a work around this? my edits are very simple and just to get the rough cuts.

but find myself unable to do. once I start a project on my iMac then I can't continue it on my laptop if I need to be on the move.


Thanks for your help.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.0

What is the exact model of the older mac? From the Apple menu choose About this Mac, and post a screenshot (not including the serial number at the bottom).


If it is a 2016 model it can run the current OS and FCP.
