X2Premiere?

[Jacob Brown] “Davinci Resolve, which is free, will read FCPX XML multicam clips no problem and relink to originals.

I would bet that you can go from Resolve to PP. But if not, you can definitely go back into FCPX from resolve with a flattened timeline that is easy to export”

yeah, but you lose audio.

So just for the heck of it I tried to open an Avid AAF project in premiere. Did an old school stack multi-cam (dslr is a nightmare to multicam in avid) with 3 layers of video and 7 tracks of audio.

Premiere CC wouldn’t open it. Same error as the FCP file. So then I fired up PPCS6 and tried the same thing. It actually did open the AAF but for some reason the video is cropped and the sequence setting is DV and unchangeable. One of the video files in underneath the audio tracks, and the whole thing preview monitor froze after a few seconds of play at 1/2 res. Mind you there is only one stream playing at a time. I have a pretty beefy iMac. That being said the translation is horrible either way. And of course the FCP X27 xml didn’t open at all.

Any idea why CS6 would at least half ass work with the AAF and CC won’t at all?

Do you have fcp7 and have you tried it?

If you don’t, is the media on an external drive? If so, quit everything, disconnect the drive, reopen Pr and try importing the XML without media.

CC interchange has progressed, but AAF has been tricky.

Be sure to file a bug report. Adobe will want to know.

[Jacob Brown]

have you tried taking your audio out with one workflow and your picture out with another?

i just brought an old FCP7 project shot on RED into FCPX perfectly this way (problematic bc the fcp7 was linked to QTs not the red raw, which i needed in FCPX). exported an xml. ran through 7tox to get the audio into fcpx. ran through disolve to get the timeline relinked.

i believe you could x2pro out your audio.

use resolve to get the visual out.

then combine the two into either fcp7 or premiere. exactly the opposite of what i just did.

After doing some research online, I think the problem is that I’m using the trial mode. Seems there is a codec issue with the trial mode that doesn’t exist when you subscribe.
