FCP X footage into PPRO CS6 for Windows

[Angelo Lorenzo]

I assume you mean the projects/sequences and not actual footage.

Since a lot of external programs don’t recognize Final Cut Pro X XML files, you’ll need a 3rd party tool called Xto7

Alternately you could do FCPX XML to EDL, byt the conversion program for that is twice as expensive. https://www.larryjordan.biz/fcpx-create-edls/

Perhaps the others can chime in with non-obvious tricks like maybe DaVinci Resolve will open a FCPX XML and save an EDL…. don’t know if that works but I’m thinking aloud.

If just footage, simply import it and make sure you have the latest Quicktime player installed on Windows. It’s that easy…

Thanks Angelo.

Actually, I don’t know which would be better; importing just the footage or a project.

Thanks for your reply Dennis.

Seems easy enough and actually, I’ve tried this by doing the following:

– Archive footage into FCP X, utilizing the Archive function.
– Open up PPRO CS6 (in Windows) and start a new Project.
– Access the location where the FCP X Archive is located.
– Import the QT files needed.
– Drop the QT files onto the timeline.

Now, one thing I’ve noticed, is that the QT files are broken up into a lot of little individual files. And some seem like they are missing a frame or two.

I’ve doubled check the footage for dropped frames in camera and when I imported the same footage into PPRO and there were / are no dropped frames and I utilized the same equipment used to import to both FCP X & PPRO CS6.
