    Hi Ralaningalls,

    The issue is that the FCPXMLD is contained within an FCPXMLD i.e. When you open your zip you have the The-Last-Illusion-v20250621.fcpxmld, however inside here is not the info.xml, you have to go deeper as there is another The-Last-Illusion-v20250621.fcpxmld contained within this folder and this contains the actual info.xml.

    Final cut itself is unable to import the higher level The-Last-Illusion-v20250621.fcpxmld see attached error. We get the same error when attempting to open at the same level.

    To resolve go into the top level folder The-Last-Illusion-v20250621.fcpxmld copy out the folder in here called The-Last-Illusion-v20250621.fcpxmld and use this project only. You will find it imports into Final Cut and will be processed by X2Pro5
