    [Andreas Kiel] “Many of the points you mentioned from foolcut are supported by the current XML export (to be honest I haven’t tried all of them), but I don’t believe that for example ‘•recreates original lane order for all timeline elements’ is really reliable at this point of time”

    Well look at what doesn’t transfer from Xto7 in an fcpxml:

    • Compound clips (see Known Issues for a work-around)
    • Multiple speed changes in a clip and keyframed speed changes
    • Effects
    • For titles, font, size and color information does not transfer*. Some titles with complex builds may have the text out of order in the Final Cut Pro 7 title.
    • Transition settings*
    • Color, Transform, Crop and Distort adjustments*
    • Audio levels and audio enhancements*
    • 4K media files (Final Cut Pro 7 supports formats up to 4000 pixels wide)
    * we expect to support these features with a future version of Final Cut Pro X XML

    Foolcut pretty much takes care of most of these. I know AXEL isn’t the way Apple would like developers to go, but….it seems much more complete. It’s weird.

    [Andreas Kiel] “It’s late here and I stop at the moment, but more will come. I put another 2 cents on the others a had – that are 6 cents at the moment and with the current exchange rate it’s about 7.8 cents from Europe :)”

    Ha! Always appreciated, Andreas.
