7toX Conversion; aliases & unending background task
I did a couple 7toX conversions. The first was a fairly simple sequence and that worked out well. The second was a handful of some hours-long sequences. In FCPX, the keyword collections are created, but not populated. The background task, “Loading Custom” goes on without end. If I look in the Event Folder, all I have is media aliases, even though I have “Copy files to Final Cut Events folder” checked. Any ideas?

Did you send or use XML?

I’ve tried both.

When using XML, it will honor your import settings in prefs.
If you have a lot of media, you have to wait a while. Thumbnails created and media needs to be copied.
If you want things to go a bit more quickly, leave the copy options unchecked. It still might take a while.
You can always bring the media in to the Event later.
Do you have enough disk space? Have you tried trashing your prefs and window layouts?

I let it run overnight and the background task “Rendering > Loading Custom” is at the same place it was 12 hours ago. The aliases in the Event Folder have not changed either.

Should be plenty of space. I haven’t tried tried trashing prefs & stuff yet…

Then it’s stuck somewhere. It shouldn’t take that long.

I’d give it a whirl. Delete the Event and Project and reimport the XML, make sure the copy/transcode media options are off before importing.

No go; same behavior 🙁

This is after trashing prefs and window layout?
Can you upload your XML?
You should also send it to Intelligent Assistance.

I did yesterday. I just heard back from Gregory. He sent me a new translation of my XML that he made with a new build of 7toX. It appears to be working perfectly now. Everything started up right away when I loaded the fcpxml he sent. Whatever issue was causing FCPX to hang before seems to have been resolved! They submitted the new build of 7toX to Apple yesterday, so it should be available soon. Kudos to Philip and Greg at Intelligent Assistance. They are working hard to make this a really solid solution.

Absolutely.
Glad you got it sorted.
