Q: What questions should I ask before taking a FCP7 > X job?
I have never worked in FCP7. I have an opportunity to take on a educational DVD/Web project that was edited in FCP7 and would like to ask production team (since departed, but available) any gotchas re: importing with a tool like https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/7tox-for-final-cut-pro/id496926258?mt=12 into FCPX.
The current projects are not fancy in anyway. Simple dissolves, cuts, 5 multicam shots, offline audio mixing/mastering but am concerned about other FCP7-specific components that get changed or dropped altogether, etc in X. Did codecs get changed drastically? for the better? color correction? XML issues? these kinds of things...
I appreciate the overview and insights now that FCPX has seen a few releases.
Many thanks in advance.

The developer's site has a list of exceptions. I haven't needed to use the app for some time, but I don;t recall any surprises (things that were not on the list).
