To change the application version projects are copied to:

See the following section for instructions on transferring clip libraries from
previous versions.
Transferring Clip Libraries to 2012 Projects
To access clip libraries from projects created with any Visual Effects and
Finishing software between versions 2007 to 2011, you must transfer the clip
libraries to a project created in version 2012.
You can install version 2012 on the system and use Wire to transfer the clip
libraries to a version 2012 project. See your application help.
For a Linux system where you do not wish to install 2012, or for IRIX
®
systems,
you can also use the following procedure to transfer media to 2012.
To transfer clip libraries to a 2012 project:
1 Use Backdraft
®
Conform 2007 or any 2008, 2009, 2010, or 2011
application to create a project and a clip library on the 2012 system. See
your application help. The project and library is formatted for the
software version it was created with.
2 Use the 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, or 2011 application to move clips over
the network into the previously created project on the 2012 system. You
can use Background Wire to help free up the resources of the workstation
running the older version of the application. See your application help.
3 Create a new project on the version 2012 system. If you have many
projects, use the copyProjects script.
4 Use the 2012 application to open the library created in step 1 (the library
is read-only).
5 Use Dual View to drag the clips into the 2012 project and library.
