MultiClip editing in FCP 7 not exporting xml correctly
Hello, I am editing an 8+ camera video in FCP 7 using create multiclip. Everything is fine with the process other than my 15″ Macbook Pro getting a little bogged down with all of the footage but thats to be expected. After I have finished my pass and have “collapsed multiclip”. (I do my color correction and effects in After Effects using FCPtoAE and xml exports). However once the xml is loaded into AE the cuts in each clip are not at the same points timecode-wise that the were when I cut them in FCP. Its loading the correct media file just at a different time in the clip, for each clip.
Is this normal, is there a workaround that allows me to take the whole edited video from FCP 7 to another editor without having to make a qt export?
FYI im using “export xml” in FCP and choosing xml Interchange format 5
Thanks for any help you guys can give.
2011 Macbook Pro 15″ 8gb ram, FCP 7, CS 6, FCPtoAE – The clips are .R3D and 5DMK3 footage converted to Prores 422 LT – all footage is 24 fps

Hey Dave thanks for the reply. That would make sense but no, all of the clips are uniform and the project/timeline setting in FCP 7 are conformed to the clips that are brought in so I dont think thats the issue.

Right on Dave, I actually did say and since I also said that all of the frame rates were uniform and that the project/timeline settings matched I feel like your line of troubleshooting has become stagnant. However If you have a suggestion that will move us forward im all ears.
