XML from DaVinci would not open in FCPX
Hi,
in Short my problem: Running FCPX 10.0.8 (cause I have a HacMac) and DaVinci 10.
Finished grading in Resolve, tried exporting both “Export for FCP” and “FCP Roundtrip”.
The I tried to import the XML to FCPX.
But each time I get following error message:
“The operation could not be completed. Invalid argument.”
Any idea what that means and how I can get the round trip working to FCPX?Thanx a lot.
Greetings,

You’ll want a newer version of FCP (i.e. FCPXML), which is in fact free.

Why? Cause 10.0.8. had a bug? So in 10.0.9. it would not give that error message anymore?
That would mean that 10.0.8. was entirely incompatible with DaVincis FCPX Roundtrip Function?
Right now I cannot upgrade to 10.1.0 since my system ain’t Mavericks yet.Sascha Engel

You might need an older version of Resolve. If the version you have is outputting the latest FCPXML that your old version of X hasn’t heard of, it could be a problem. But just a guess.

Any chance to convert my DaVinci 10 XML to a XML that my FCPX can understnd? (way to many Xs in that sentence 😉

I had the same problem with DaVinci 10 XML roundtrip to FCPX. I talked with the Black Magic support and they said clearly the actual DaVinci XML works only with FCPX 10.0.9 at least (the XMLs are otherwise not compatible). So you either upgrade FCPX (which yes, implies an upgrade to Maverick) or you use an older version of DaVinci.

But doesn’t 10.0.9. still work with OSX 10.8.?

[Anna Possberg] “So you either upgrade FCPX (which yes, implies an upgrade to Maverick) “
No, not true. If you do not have Mavericks installed you are offered max. 10.0.9 until you update the OS. There is no need to upgrade to Mavericks.
[Sascha Engel] “But doesn’t 10.0.9. still work with OSX 10.8.?”
Yes, it does. Only versions 10.1 and higher require OS 10.9.
Question is, why don’t you already have 10.0.9?? It’s been out for ages and is free. 10.0.9 introduced XML 1.3, which is why it’s not working. Resolve only caters to the most current version it knows of. I’m not aware of a way of “downgrading” the XML output to earlier versions.

Because I’m running a Hackintosh, meaning that I’m very cautious with any upgrades.

Is the 10.0.9 upgrade still online?Greetings,

Not sure how “Because I’m running a Hackintosh” and “Never change a winning team.” go together. Contradiction in terms if you ask me. Not sure how you could be “winning” if you can’t even do a simple update/upgrade.
[Sascha Engel] “Is the 10.0.9 upgrade still online?”
Again… if you try to update (or re-purchase) and have an OS <10.9 you are only offered the highest compatible version for your OS, which in this case would be 10.0.9.

Not so much of a contradiction, if you follow some basic guidelines, one being: be cautious on updates.
I work a year not with it. Before I only had mac, but it’s too expansive in the Middle East. I did several large projects already on the system. All went well so far. 🙂
