Can Final Cut Pro 4.5 import LiveType 2 and Soundtrack 1.5 files? I'm considering buying Final Cut Express 3.5 specifically to get these updated programs to replace the LT & Soundtrack 1.2 versions native to FCP 4.5.

I'm going to say no. Here's why. Archive.org has Apple shipping Livetype with FCP4/4.5.

Livetype 2 didn't ship unitl FCP 5. So, the XML stuff probably won't be backwards compatible. It needs certain pieces for QT to work.

That doesn't mean it won't work, just that I think it's unlikely. If you MefiMail me, i could send you a Livetype 2.1.3 file to see if it works with your version of FCP (I might have to send you a QT component as well.)
