    Hi everyone !

    I have some videos shooting by blackmagic 2.5K
    I transfer them to ProRes 422 HQ 1920*1080 and edit them in FCPX
    In FCPX , each clip syncs with audio files and rename.

    EX :
    Video A and Audio Z , I sync A and Z become K ( I named it by myself)
    so , when i open the K in timeline , it includes A and Z .

    finish edit , i export XML to Davinci and import the original A ( 2.5K source ) and Z
    then , import the XML ( I don’t use automatically import source and set project setting )
    but it doesn’t link to 2.5K source , it import a clip name K and link it
    I want import the FCPX XML using HQ to edit and grading it use 2.5K source
    what should i do ?
    thank everyone.

    As a general rule, don’t ever change file names. Changing metadata is fine.

    The chapters on Media (pp. 110-166) and Conforming (pp. 347-414) in the v11 manual have a lot of good info.

    I don’t change the source name of any clip .
    I just change the name on FCPX.
    Is it OK ?
    or how should i check if i change file name or metadata ?
    Thank you

    I ran into similar problem with an edit coming from FCP7:
    Clips(subclips) that were renamed inside FCP during edit or had assigned colored labels in FCP did not go through correctly from FCP to Resolve with XML: they had wrong In/out. I had to manually reedit them with correct TC’s in Resolve. Could’nt figure out how to avoid these mistakes during xml-import 🙁
