    Excellent question! There used to be functionality for that here, or I’m confusing this with another forum. I’d have sworn we had that here previously.

    oh well. This stuff is so old it doesn’t matter 🙂

    an XML or FCPX, either way, is all good. i work with fcpx if that matters. lmk what I owe you for these efforts. — liron

    It’s all good!

    In the zipped file you’ll find (for each project) 2 screenshots from FCP7, a straight XML export, a Batch List, and a .fcpxml conversion file.

    Also made a new Library and imported all the .fcpxml files. I’m on 11, so if you’re not current you should be able to re-import the .fcpxml files into whichever version you’re running.

    Hi Doug, are you still able to convert old FCP Projects? If so, I’d love to take you up on the offer.

    I sure can! I won’t be able to get to it until Friday (4/18) though.

    Kia ora from New Zealand, Doug,

     

    Are you still open to taking on FCP7 XML exports for total strangers?!

     

    I have a few projects I would love to get XMLS of to take into Resolve.

     

    I’m not sure about the messaging capability here but I’m on hugh@sundaepictures.com

     

    Thanks

    Hugh

    Hey Hugh,

    I am indeed!

    As I mentioned above to Oren, I’m out of the loop until Friday, so any XML exports would need to wait until then.

    Incredible! No problem waiting at all.

    What’s the best email to send to?

    Thanks so much.

    Hi Doug – just checking the best place to send you the XMLs? Thank you – Hugh.
