Re: Tech question: Final Cut Pro

I don't know if you can edit FCP files in FCE, but I would tend to doubt it.
An alternative solution is to export from Final Cut Pro to a standard format
like AVI, then import the AVI into Final Cut Express. You'd lose the editing
information from FCP, but depending on what you want to do with the raw
video it might give you what you need.
