Resolve 12.5, ProTools and FCP7 Compatibility?

Hi Guys,I'm shooting a Bollywood feature over in India at the moment, and I've just learnt that the plan is to edit the picture on a copy of Final Cut Pro 7.0 (not 7.0.3, which I believe was the most recent version of the software). The editing machine is a 2011 iMac running Yosemite.Now I've been making ProRes Proxy Proxies from our ProRes4444 XQ Masters, so I have no real worries about the system's ability to handle the editing. But what does concern me is the compatibility of FCP 7.0 with Davinci Resolve 12.5 (which I'll be doing the colouring on) and ProTools (which will no doubt be used for the sound mix).It's a looooong time since I've done any work with a project that's been pushed through FCP7, so I'm wondering what the state of the union is?Are there any obvious gotchas we need to watch out for or prepare for? Will we have any issues bringing old FCP7 .xmls into the latest version of Davinci or Protools? Should we upgrade the software from 7.0 to 7.0.3?Any advice or help would be much appreciated. I know there are still some long-time FCP7 holdouts out there, so I'd certainly love to hear from you!Cheers,Mark
