I did break apart all the audio.

You should see the garbled mess the fcpx XML is for a simple 30 minute film with just a music, effects dialogs, etc. it’s disastrous. The RELINKING in logic is poor and asks for clip locations practically on a clip by clip basis.
This is single system too. I doubt it would be this much trouble with a qt file. I think the problem resides in extracting the wav portion of the r3d file.

I’ve resorted to roles, which in this day and age, with modern software. Sucks. It’s unacceptable.

Nothing wrong with the editing and functionality within the software. Would not trade that for fcp 7 at all.

Big problems when wanting to move audio outside the software. This is no problem for picture with resolve, but an apple fcpxxml does not even open properly in logic X.
Thus, my, this sucks logic.

Wouldn’t it make sense to open up your fcpx XML in logic x without a hiccough and mix away on your track?

Where’s the rocket science here?

It’s been at least a year since logic x. Where’s the integration within apples own software?

Hey Robin,

I don’t want to tit for tat or nick pick here. I mean that your suggestion did not work as the most efficient method to reset the parameters for all of the clips in the timeline and get back to a “flat/normal/just as it was imported/state.

This does work really well in the inspector when using the method i described and by resetting the effects portion you get rid of all of the effects, eq’s hum removal or anything you might have applied to an audio clip, which would be included in the file if you were to export roles as tracks.

Of course, this would not be the case if I were able to get X2Pro to create an aaf file that I could import into a DAW where those parameters would not be baked into the audio.

Thanks for responding though.

It’s not entirely on Apple, it is on Marquis very much, but a simple AAF export that I could open in Logic Pro X or any other DAW would probably be much more efficient than this long way round.

if this could be as smooth as any of the assistant editing offerings, or even resolves round trip, then my bitching about audio roundtripping would be over with. the fact that I am still (after this long) going through hoops to mix audio outside of FCPX is flat out failure. Even if it is R3D or Marquis. Apple needs to care enough to get it fixed.

[Robin S. Kurz] “Then simply do it with 2-3 keystrokes in the DAW! (assuming they even make it over which AFAIK could only happen with LPX as of XML 1.3). It’s not like they’re rendered into the file. Have never done it any other way. My LPX using audio guy kept what was useful and killed the rest. Done.”

If I export as roles, then it’s “burned in” to the file.

FYI the delete combo does not work but, selecting all audio, then selecting the audio pane in the inspector and resetting the volume and pan parameter does work. 🙂

I’m working with Marquis. the r3d handling is brutal.

ON the FCP X side. Once a proxy file has been created then perhaps it would be good if the XML could reference the rendered proxy audio (if i could set that as 24bit 48K that would be nice). Then we would not have to worry about relinking r3d audio at all.

Still. This third party solution is Apples solution to audio export (at a pretty heft cost compared to the price of the software itself) so apple needs to know that this ain’t working.

[Robin S. Kurz] “Why would you care if you’re handing it off to a DAW?”

If I have used compression or eq’s in the rough premix, it would be nice to remove all that, if I have to export role, which is now what I will have to do….

Thanks for the tip on the delete levels option.

The viewer only displays one field. So perhaps it is this.

I have noticed gamma shifts when using codecs other than Prores 4444, the rest seem to be a gamma crapshoot.

If it is interlaced HD it should read 59.94, That is correct.

If it is SD then it should read 29.97

What tool are they reading it with? Are they having issues?

As a follow up.

myFiles is an excellent little utility that works well and serves the purpose.

I still think it would be great to be able to do this within the software.
