The best way to export without any audio issues is to duplicate your project. Call it “online” or “Mix” Select all media clips and detach audio. Once the audio is detached simply delete them. Then add your mix and stems with proper roles. If you need your scratch audio you can always go back to your prior “creative cut” if need be.
WORKS!!

I had the same issue this summer. You’re right that the speed changes don’t come threw the XML. Yes, the best thing you can do is export a flattened file of the speed change and conform that clip inside Resolve. If you’re not using your hi-res media in Premiere and are working proxy then you can send that clip to AE using Dynamic Linking and option + replace the proxy clip with your RAW file. While you’re at it you can run optical flow before you render out your clip to Resolve. If you have a lot of shots it can take you a little time but at least you won’t have a problem with your edit coming back from Color.

I use the project Library. Something I have grown fond of. I am very organized. I like to keep a creative cuts folder. with an Archive subfolder or old cuts. Once that cut has been approved I create another folder called “Onlines” in which I remove the scratch audio and lay the mix and final grfx in. Then I create a “masters” folder to version spots out. I stopped creating compound clips only because they can get a little wild. It depends on the editor. If it works for you go right ahead.

No. That was all done on FCP7. I will hopefully have my FCPX cuts up on my website by the end of the year.

I got news for you buddy. I have to cut three 30 minute episodes for air starting Monday with 2 weeks for each episode using X. I’m not scared.

yes, sorry. We use post haste to create our Assests folder and location for our Events. We then create a event template inside FCPX under the User and duplicate that for other projects (events).

When you use scene cut detection instead of pressing save or whatever. Export EDL instead. Then Bring the edl you just created in Resolve back into Resolve and use that to notch your clip. You can then either join or separate clips as needed.

There is a tremendous learning curve when diving into FCPX. I am currently teaching a major network post facility how to move from FCP7 to X. It isn’t easy. Mostly because the editors have no time to just learn the app. They have to learn on the job with deadlines. They are hugely frustrated. I think a feature is a tremendous task to take on as your first project. I say take baby steps. These small steps will pay of huge, but if you don’t really know X you might find yourself overwhelmed when it’s time to deliver.
