To access clip libraries from version 2007, 2008, 2009 or 2010 projects, you must transfer the clip libraries to a project created in version 2010 Extension 1.

You can install version 2010 Extension 1 on the 2007, 2008, 2009, or 2010 system and use Wire to transfer the clip libraries from 2007, 2008, 2009, or 2010 projects to a version 2010 Extension 1 project. See Copying Local and Remote Clip Libraries to Your Current Project.

For a Linux system running a 2007, 2008, 2009, or 2010 release where you do not wish to install 2010 Extension 1, or for IRIX^® systems, you can also use the following procedure to transfer media from 2007, 2008, 2009, or 2010 to 2010 Extension 1.

To transfer clip libraries from version 2007, 2008, 2009, or 2010 projects to a 2010 Extension 1 project:

1. Use Backdraft^® Conform 2007 or any 2008, 2009, or 2010 application to create a project and a clip library on the 2010 Extension 1 system. See Creating a Project. The project and library is formatted for 2007, 2008, 2009, or 2010.
2. Use the 2007, 2008, 2009, or 2010 application to move clips from the 2007, 2008, 2009, or 2010 system over the network into the previously created project on the 2010 Extension 1 system. You can use Background Wire to help free up the resources of the workstation running the older version of the application. See Copying Local and Remote Clip Libraries to Your Current Project.
3. Create a new project on the version 2010 Extension 1 system. If you have many projects, use the copyProjects script. See Upgrading Projects to the Current Version.
4. Use the 2010 Extension 1 application to open the library created in step 1 (the library is read-only).
5. Use Dual View to drag the clips into the 2010 Extension 1 project and library.
6. Use the older application version to remove the project created in step 1. 2010 Extension 1 applications cannot remove projects created with previous versions because they are read-only.
