Request - Can Someone Convert a FCP 3 Project File to PPro XML?

[User]

Hiya folks,
Curious if someone here can convert an old FCP 3 project file into a PPro XML for me?
I'm thinking the route is:
Open project file in FCP 7 and then export and XML file. Then, if possible, using something like 7toX, bring that XML file forward to FCPX or HOPEFULLY PPro!
Anyone firmly sitting here today, with one strong anchor in the past?
Mucho apreciado

You could just do FCP7 - XML - Adobe PP

You'll lose any keyframes / opacity / audio work etc. - but the base edit should still translate fairly well.

Yep. I use this for sharing projects with mixed versions on Premiere Pro.

Whoops, forgot to turn notifications on.... thanks Anaconda and Ben.
Apologies, I should have mentioned it but... I don't have and can't run run FCP 7 on this Macbook Pro.
Anyone?

Based on the link below, I'm thinking that the conversion from FCP7>FCPX is not a necessary step, seems that the FCP7 XML file should import into PPro with a few caveats (mentioned in link)...

Curious how big your FCP7 project is, and where you're located? (i.e. how do you envision providing someone with the project and all of the media files to make this happen?) Also, NSFW or SFW? (Need I mention why?!) :)

Hi Jimmy, I appreciate the effort.

This is very simple. I have a FCP 3 project file. It's like one Mb. I need someone to import it into FCP 7. Then export a XML.

Anyone?

If you put a link here I can make a Premiere project for you (Providing FCP3 projects open in FCP7)
