    Hello,
    I have the same exact problem.

    I run FCPX 12.2 on an iMac 27′ 2019 with Sequoia 15.7.7
    X2pro5 Version 5.0.44 (73)

    I already had the problem with my server through thunderbolt and smb protocol and thought it came from the file system. But here, all my video files, fcpxmld files and export locations are in the Movies user directory.

    I get the same message : “The file couldn’t be opened because it isn’t in the correct format.”

    I tried to relocate the files out and in again as mentioned.
    I gave X2pro5 the total access of the hard drive.

    I still get the same message and no AAF.

    I need urgent help.

    Thanks
