Check out Pluraleyes. Very handy little app for syncing multiple tracks in FCP.

Expressions and scripts are different creatures. Expressions are applied directly to an attribute your controlling rather than “run” like a script.
This expression would be applied to the source text property. Click on the arrow to the left of the text to twirl down the properties. Option+Click on the stopwatch next to the source text property to reveal the expression box. Paste your expression there.

Note: After Effects can import Sony XDCAM HD assets if they were recorded to MXF files. After Effects cannot import XDCAM HD assets in IMX format. After Effects can import Sony XDCAM EX assets stored as essence files with the .mp4 filename extension in a BPAV directory. For information about the XDCAM format, see this PDF document on the Sony website.

You have the most recent (9.02) update? There were some RED fixes in that particular one.

Sorry I ment to say
You could set the default interpolation TO CONTINOUS rather than linear keyframes

You could set the default interpolation rather than linear keyframes. Then new keyframes will default to Continous Bezier
“To change the default to linear interpolation, choose Edit > Preferences > General (Windows) or After Effects > Preferences > General (Mac OS), and select Default Spatial Interpolation. Changing the preference setting does not affect keyframes that already exist or new keyframes on properties for which keyframes already exist.”

If you are trying to work with the original h.264 files you will have all sorts of problems. They need to be transcoded to a more Edit friendly codec first like Prores.
Here is a relevant thread.

I’ve read that perhaps the best thing to do – if your computer has the space – is to export the FCP timeline in the same codec it was imported
This is the best approach. It’s kind of a right tool for the right job thing. Compressor is good at….Compressing. And the multiprocessor settings will save you a ton of time.
Furthermore, if exporting from FCP in a high quality (and then importing to Compressor) IS the way to go, why use the original codec (ProRes 422 in this case) when you could actually use the option of NONE
You won’t gain anything in image quality going from a lossless compression scheme (PR422) to no compression. It will just add file size. This is a rarely used option.
What’s the best option for a tradeoff in great quality, but less than 50 gig file size?
Lossless files are big, but if your shooting for optimal quality its best to keep everything lossless until the final compression. Fortunately hard drive are cheap 🙂And is there any way to get an estimate of what a certain codec would do to your file before wasting many many hours exporting,
If you keep the codec the same as your sequence the export should be relatively quick. Then let compressor do the hard work.
