I hear its bad to edit videos through external hard drive because of the possibility of dropped frames, but external hard drives good for saving or storing video footages.
But is it also okay to save unfinished video projects?
- Would I be able to upload or continue saved video projects using Final Cut Pro 7 from my external hard drive if I originally used Final Cut 6 to edit? Or does the editing software have to be the exact same version in order for me to continue my projects?
Answer
Dropped frames come about when your hard drive or computer isn't fast enough to process through all the frames.
With modern fast computers combined with USB 2.0 or Firewire, it really comes down to how fast the hard drive itself is in most cases. For video editing, I would use a drive that spins at 7200 RPM or faster. This usually means that it can read data much faster than standard drives. It's true that not all external hard drives are designed for speed.
No matter what you do, it's usually better to have your operating system on a different drive than your video footage. This way, anything your computer wants to access on the main hard drive won't slow down reading of the video. If you just have your main system drive and your external, then by all means use your external. If you have a desktop, you may consider adding additional drives inside the computer.
I personally use one drive for my operating system and video editing software, a second drive for all my source footage, and a third hard drive for all the render files.
Yes, Final Cut Pro 7 should be able to open a Final Cut Pro 6 file just fine. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if you could go in reverse and open an FCP7 file in FCP6 - minus whatever features the older version doesn't support.
Make sure that you copy not only your project file, but your source/capture files as well. Your settings will show you where it was told to put them. The project file alone contains only a list of edits and effects.

File->Save As
Change C:/wherever to E:/Wherever (replace E with whatever drive letter your external hard drive is mounted on)
If you want to save the video, rather than the project, then use the publish link instead.
