I had not seen that article mentioned for FCP 6 but I do remember a similar one back on one of the earlier versions. I take this "warning" with a grain of salt for a couple of reasons: first is that I spent the day on Friday jumping back and forth between them on a couple of different projects just to see if anything strange happened. All is well except the apps have to profile for RT Extreme each time upon boot, other than that I have seen no issue with the older (or new) versions. Second, I certainly don't think Apple would condone doing this as it seems antithetical to the whole idea of upgrading the app. I certainly don't plan on using 5.1.2 or 5.1.4 anymore for any real work but with clients these days having their own versions of Final Cut Studio and not always upgrading as quickly as most of us it is a nice insurance policy to have around. One complaint that I (and from all the forum posts many other users) have always had is the fact with with any upgrade, even incremental "dot" upgrades, you aren't able to open a newer project file. Sure there's XML but the simplicity of the project file pass around can't be beat. Avid has done it for years without a hitch, if a newer feature isn't supported in an older version it just doesn't show up, and it is very convenient. Thanks for those links.
