exporting to FCP
I am working on a project using MXP proxy files from an XDcam HD camera. I want to do an offline edit using Vegas7, exporting an AAF file to a Final Cut Pro machine to do the online HD finishing. so far we have not had any luck opening the AAF file on the FCP machine. Does anyone know how to make this work?

You may need Automatic Duck on the FCP side.

The problem might be on the audio side – try changing your audio to WAV or AIFF

I thought the AAF file was for exporting EDL type info so that a project could be re-created on another machine. Am I mistaken?

Yes, that’s the idea. Have you posed the question over on the FCP forum?

FCP does not support AAF, at all, without a 3rd party program like Automatic Duck. If you have AD already…
Offlining XDCAM proxies in Vegas and then exporting an AAF and then ruuning that through a (respectable!) product like Automatic Duck and then opening the translated project in FCP and trying to conform the proxy cutlist to full rez in FCP…seems like it might cause you some headaches. Maybe not…
Do you have to do it that way? Vegas can conform your XDCAM proxy cut project to full rez and print to XDCAM disc with no other app involved. If you HAVE to go back to FCP for some reason, consider conforming to full rez in Vegas and then export a file that FCP can open, like uncompressed QT, and do further treatments in FCP at that point. If you can’t print a master back to disc from FCP for some reason, send the file back to Vegas (7, which can master to all XDCAM formats over 1394 or FTP)
