FCPX roundtripping – audio issue
I’m about to start editing a documentary. I prefer working in FCPX (11.1) but I want to use Resolve for the AI transcripts, and to do the assembly edit using text editing.
The footage is a two-cam multicam with synced audio (so, each MC clip is 2 video angles with camera audio and one multichannel WAV jam-synced by TC).
I am able to get these multicams into Resolve, create transcripts and edit there BUT when I export this assembly back into FCPX, the attached audio doesn’t work. MC Angles are kept, even the proper links to originals and proxies in FCP are kept, but the audio looks like this (screenshot), instead of the proper original WAV, and indeed doesn’t play or relink.
I tried Decompose in place on the synced audio clip in Resolve but that didn’t help.
Any tips? Maybe just export the source footage as reference files with Burn-in TC, edit in Resolve and then reassemble by hand? I feel like I’m SO close 🙂
Thanks!

Hey Jiri,
Multicam in and out, or the other way around with other NLEs, to/from FCPX has never really worked.
Why are you importing into Davinci from FCPX, when you could do the multicam sync and text edit in Davinci, and then take that to FCPX?
And, what is your “transport” data format between the two?
If using XML, maybe use SendToX?
https://www.intelligentassistance.com/They have a good description of what works, and what does not.
Hope that his helps?

Hi, thanks for your answer! The idea of using Resolve for text editing came AFTER I had already made some organization inside FCPX, hence the cumbersome attempts for roundtripping.
I’m using the builtin XML imports and exports – Resolve 20 can natively import and FCPXMLD files. The issue starts upon importing – Resolve for some reason doesn’t show the synced audiofile inside the multicams as an audiofile, it creates a nested clip for some reason. And this nested clips doesn’t translate back into FCP.
