    You want to go from FCE to FCP-X?

    You would need to do so in multiple steps.

    1) You would need to be working in a very late version of FCE.

    2) Open the FCE project in FCP-7.

    3) In FCP-7, export an XML of the sequence you wish to get to FCP-X.

    4) Purchase the software 7toX

    http://assistedediting.intelligentassistance.com/7toX/

    5) Import the XML into 7toX, export the FCP-X friendly file

    6) Import the converted XML into FCP-X

    7) Re-link all you media

     

    It should be noted that when you use XML, not all the things you have done in your original sequence will make it through the final translation. There is more information about this at the 7toX page linked above.
