FCP X destroying audio edits in XML output

[Elliott Dalrymple]

Hey Im kinda new here but I have just arrived at this issue in FCPX, every time I try to export my audio into Logic Pro X it looses all its syncing points and all the handles change. I even dusted of a One to one membership for apple to sort it out at a store and everyone was baffled. Did anyone manage to resolve this at all?

I had a pretty huge XML problem as well. Apple makes no mention of an issue with Logic, but I’ve read that Resolve and Redcine do not like compound clips (or anything sync’d by fcpx itself)

I selected everything, went up to the Clip menu and selected “Break apart clip items”

After that the XML worked just fine transferring over to Logic.

Hey Oliver!

I was having very similar issues, and my audio guy and I were going back and forth, pulling our hair out trying to figure out what the heck was going on. We even had a spreadsheet going of different combinations of preferences in X2Pro checked, to weed out any variables.

Anyway, I’m not sure if this has been mentioned yet or not, but I stumbled on this forum post on X2Pro’s website that completely fixed our problem. It was sample rates.

Make sure Pro Tools (or I assume any DAW) DOES NOT apply SRC (sample rate conversion) when importing.

I hope this helps. Please forgive redundancy if this has already been raised.

Hi,

This thread is 3 years old ☺ FWIW, I only use X2Pro to send X audio files to Pro Tools. The original issue related to XML, which I never use in conjunction with audio. But, thanks for the good tips. Much appreciated.
