Hi Everyone,
I’ve only just come across this post, so apologies for not attending to it sooner. I am Product Manager with Marquis and handle our relationship with Apple.
This episode where we disappeared from the app store was very unfortunate and I am truly sorry that any of you should have been affected by it.
Yes, you are right in that it was due to when we paid our subscription, but I still paid that 10 days before it was due to expire. This unfortunately combined with some app store downtime over the holidays and a bug in the store in recognising my payment.
The Apple team that handle 3rd party relationships were very responsive in getting on top of the issue and we had it sorted within 24 hours.
I am truly sorry if anyone contacted us and did not get a reply, we carefully monitor all our support emails and everyone that reaches us gets a reply that working day (UK time).We continue to work on X2Pro and plan to include RED R3D media support in the next version.
Many thanks for your understanding,
Chris Steele

We can solve your Pro Tools workflow. See x2pro.net

Take a look at our new tool X2Pro (https://www.X2Pro.net) for moving projects from FCP-X to Pro Tools and Nuendo.
We take tha FCP-X XML and create an AAF with embedded audio.
Plenty of real world testing and a new version 1.1 just around the corner.
You’ll find mentions in the recent Apple articles: https://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/in-actionChris Steele

Ah, that error message sounds like Logic cannot handle embedded audio in AAF at all. Strange limitation. We plan to do referenced audio in AAF in a later release, and trimming audio. Embedded was the path of least resistance for a first release.
Many thanks guys.Chris Steele

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

Hi Jonathan, we got X2Pro up on the Apple Mac App Store https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/x2pro-audio-convert/id501688639?ls=1&mt=12. It takes the FCPX XML and creates an AAF with all the audio embedded. No levels, automatic gain or fade handles yet, but they should be in an update we’ll post in a couple of weeks. Love to hear how it goes.

Thanks Steve, thanks Simon!
We are certainly keen to make sure the X2Pro plugs this gap, and plugs it well.
This all takes time as the two applications are very different in their approaches. Our engineers have a lot of experience of this type of work, but understanding FCPX’s infinitely nestable clips took some effort!
I’m not being critical here. Having been a little sceptical at first, I have to say that the more I see of FCPX and of its rapid development direction, the more impressed I am. I’ve been creating tools in this industry for a long time, but I really think the FCPX team have done a great job, and have seen the future of editing.
So we are really keen to hear about the features you guys need most, so that we can prioritise those first. Or perhaps you need other tools to blue FCPX back into your professional workflows? Let us know!

Hi James. Yes, we had to leave levels out of the first release in order to get it out as soon as possible. Without it there was no way to go from FCPX 10.0.3 to ProTools, so we were under a lot of pressure from folks using FCPX on productions now to release something which would at least translate the edits.
The good news is that we are working on this right now and hope to have first efforts in the hands of one or two beta testers next week. It will deal with levels, automation gain and fade handles. Because these can be applied in several ways in FCPX using compound clips, we have to concatenate them all into a series of keyframes on each track in ProTools. Fade handles will initially be translated into a straight linear fade.
We’ve not included panning in this work. Feedback from the market is that the audio guys don’t want panning information from the edit, so we’ve set this to a lower priority. Happy to hear counter views!
