Anyone using X2Pro Convert? I have problems

[William Davis]

Hey Warren,

If you open the X2Pro preferences and click on the “Media Locations” tab do you see your RAID listed?

Hey Bill,

Yes, my RAID is there under media locations.

Seems like there’s some permission issues.

Did you use any of the stock sfx from fcpx?

What is your source audio (what cameras/recorders)?

You can change the prefs in x2 pro to create the AAF despite the errors. Hopefully it won’t come back empty. If it does, there may be some sort of read/write error

[Warren Eig]

No permission issues. I can read and write to the external RAID. No stock SFX from FCPX. It’s choking on the original synced ProRes footage. (done by the assistant editor, now long gone)

There was some Arri-Alexa footage, I don’t know the rest of the cameras. Some audio was shot to camera, some recorded double system.

You can’t select ignore errors in X2Pro or the AAF does come back empty– I got it to work by consolidating library command in FCPX. It moved all footage to consolidated folder and in X2Pro I pointed to that as the source– on the same RAID in the same folder, so… weird…

So if you turn off the errors you get an empty AAF?

If you turn the errors back on, it doesn’t point you to the file(s) that are problematic in console?

If you consolidated the footage, seems like wherever some of the footage was, there was some sort of permissions lock somewhere that X2Pro didn’t like. Did you write support about it?

[Warren Eig]

Maybe. I inherited the project and had to recut the feature doc from scratch so there could have been some weird permissions errors.

I just wish X2Pro would translate through automation on the sound files instead of stripping them out. It also brings audio that is turned off/ disabled, even though I check ignore it (don’t include). This makes more work for the mixer. I’d imagine this is a bug.

I would hit up support and see what they come up with.

One thing I’d try: create a new Library. Copy the contents of the old Library into the new Library. Close the old Library and try your export again out of the new Library. There may be Library corruption going on which is confusing X2Pro.

Weird, because I’m dealing with X2Pro on an opposite issue. If the editor disconnects the audio from the video, X2Pro won’t include that disconnected audio even though it is properly roled.
