FCP X destroying audio edits in XML output

[Oliver Peters] “The bottom line is that I have been completely unable for several projects to export any sort of functional file to hand off to an audio editor/mixer.”
Looks like you may be able to import the fcpxml into Logic or R11 and get it out of there. See my other reply.

It sounds just fine, though. The files line up and play.
The fades aren’t quite right, but the timing is OK.

Weird, mine was off by a noticeable amount, beyond phasing and into delay territory. I’ll have to try putting the pix in the primary and see if that changes things tomorrow. Not sure why it would, but clearly somethings getting lost in translation in some cases…

I’m sure Greg will get it sorted.
Doing all this work back in 7 is tiring. 😉

Been running some tests as well. I can see the problem when importing the converted XML in FCP7. No problems with R11 or Logic, nor with ProTools via X2Pro. So FCP X does not destroy anything and the exported FCP XML is fine. The issue is strictly with Xto7 and FCP.

Just out of curiosity, my question is why you are going through these hoops? What’s the end result you are hoping to achieve?

I don’t know about Oliver, but I’ve used Xto7 specifically to get the audio over to FCP 7 to clean up all the track placements and export to OMF for ProTools. I don’t have X2Pro.

Ronny, I wouldn’t let FCP X off the hook quite so easily. I’ll rerun a check in Logic and Resolve. On a different project, but with similar audio problems, the direct path into Resolve as well as Smoke were not correct. In those cases, it was audio from a C300 in one, and synchronized double-system sound in another.
Scott, I need to be able to hand off an OMF to the preferred Pro Tools mixer.
Charlie, Jeremy, I’ll see what Resolve and Logic do with this test later tonight, when I’m back home on the same computer.
FWIW, are you running your tests in 23.98 timelines? I have seen some FCP X issues that have cropped up in 23.98, but not in 29.97.

The trouble with AAF is that you have no way to verify accuracy before handing it off to an audio mixer in the event the translation is wrong. I tried an AAF test on one of these and opened it in Audition. Turned out that for whatever reason X2Pro was not able to embed the sound. Everything was offline.
With FCP 7 and OMF, at least I can catch and correct issues before sending to the mixer. Lastly, the agency prefers a mixer who happens to use an older system. He can deal with AAF, but prefers OMF.
