The following should mostly work as long as the two systems in question have the same version of QT.

Select your FCP sequence in the browser and export a version 3 XML (FCP 6 has an option for XML v4, this is not supported by earlier verisons of FCP). It will as if you want to save with the current metadata, say yes, name the file, save it. That's it.

In your FCP 5 system, import the XML and everything should reconnect and be groovy.

Where this will start to fall apart is if you have third party effects in the FCP 6 timeline that you either don't have or don't have the correct version of on the FCP 5 machine.

Otherwise this works.
