  • XML Translation was aborted due to a critical error

    Posted by Jeff Griswold on January 3, 2013 at 4:40 pm

    I’ve been exporting xml’s from old projects (FCP 7) and had great success. However, a few projects get the xml translation error when I am trying to export. I’ve searched the web and can’t find a real answer. The project files are only 27 mb.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance.

    I figured out the answer to my post and thought I would share it with you. I found that if there is a user defined effect, i.e. dissolve in the project panel, then FCP will fail in its attempt to create the xml file. By removing the effect FCP creates the xml without any issue.

    I hope this helps you.

    Thank you for that.
    Also, if there are characters in ANY of the fields in the file description in the browser, FCP will get the error.

    Can you explain more what you mean by this?
    Thanks
