Is it possible to manipulate a file created in a Windows application with an application on Leopard using VM Fusion?
For example, can I take a Maya 3-D animation file I made in Windows and edit it on After Effects which I run on my Mac? Will I be facing many issues?
Thanks in advance.

Just copy the file to your Mac side and you will be able to use it.

If the extension is the same then it will work in any operating system/software, well as long as the software supports the extension.

With that said problems can still arise, if using older software (legacy) even though the extensions may be the same features may be disabled if you created a file in an older version of "Software A" and try to open it in a newer version of "software A".
