It works very nicely –
– except that for now you can’t consolidate your exported media, so if you have large source files it will be quite cumbersome to say the least. (Nor can you link to the original media.)
But apparently this will be addressed quite soon.

This is also AAF only. Not OMF. So that would be ProTool 7 or later, I believe.

I guess the X2Pro AAF’s could be imported/opened in Soundtrack Pro and/or Logic as well?

Didn’t work in STP when I tried. Haven’t tried Logic. I am hoping that the next rev of Adobe Audition will handle it, since Adobe cares about AAF and Apple doesn’t.

Generally it works very well as far as I’ve been able to test it – distinctly more robust than Xto7 which had quite a few issues with complex audio handling in my experience.
A really nice implementation of Roles – just what a lot of us have been hoping for.
Be aware that volume and pan are not currently supported though it will be coming soon apparently.
Don’t know about how it will work with Logic – haven’t used it in a while. Am waiting for the upcoming (???!!!) Logic X to blow me away – but who knows what to expect from Apple now …

i can’t get it to work with logic pro 8. hopefully somebody can try logic pro 9 and report back.

somebody posted a question in the x2pro support forum asking about logic pro 9. that’s probably the best place to get an answer about logic.

however, the faq says nothing about any other app, only pro tools.

Hi, the truth is that we’ve only tested on Pro Tools, so we can’t be sure. What we are producing is a standard AAF with embedded audio. We’ll try to get some testing done soon.
Thanks!Chris Steele

The poster on the x2pro forum got the same results with Logic Pro 9 as I did with Logic Pro 8: shows the track names but doesn’t import the audio files. Soundtrack Pro 2 is more specific about its error: “Soundtrack Pro cannot import the AAF embedded media file.”
Of course AAF opens very well in Pro Tools 8 on my machine, and I presume it’s fine with PT9 and 10. Pro Tools-only isn’t a bad thing. I find editing in PT is really top-notch. The caveat is the dreaded outdated realtime bounce, which is painful for long videos, making revisions horrendous. I’m sure a lot of PT editors bounce less-than-ideal takes because there’s no time or patience. Avid is dumping TDM (and presumably RTAS) to hopefully offer an offline bounce in PT11.
