      Folks if someone could help I would be SO grateful.

      I have a 90 minutes project in FCPX (10.7.1), editing on macbook (Sonoma 14.4).

      First I outputted a 15 minute XML and then converted to AAF in X2ProLE. It worked fine.

      But every time I try to output the full 90 min version it says “Unable to Parse FCPXML”.
      I then purchased X2Pro5. This time it gave me an error “Asset [r1337 : nil] has no media. (Snapshots attached).
      I also got a different error one time saying a file may not be supported.

      I have already copied the project into a brand new library and outputted. I already tried making the file name all lower case. I already made sure that app got full disk access. I already made sure the source and destination were selected. Nothing works.

      Many thanks for any suggestions.

        I can see that there is a problem but we will need the XML to investigate further, the message is one which describes the internal name of an asset in the project but the XML is needed to work out what file that relates to. It appears that one or more assets has audio of a type which can’t be extracted by the software, it may be that they are not compatible with the AVF audio extractor or they could be corrupted (not very likely). If you can convert these assets to a proxy format the proxies will almost certainly be readable, however, a copy of the XML would allow us to identify which asset(s) need to be converted and also allow us to request a sample file to investigate the reason that the audio in them can’t be extracted.

            Dear Bob,

            Thanks for the xml,  looking at it the issue is that it has an asset listed
                   

            But it has no details and is not closed and complete,  i.e. it should look something like this.

            It should have an   to end.

            So we quite rightly fail to parse it,  there is reference later in the XML but only one line and that again is not complete,  so the XML is corrupt.  We have removed the two lines and we can process the XML and generate an AAF,  will send a link with both in via WeTransfer to you shortly.

            Lines removed.
                     
                                             

            We created the AAF using the current version of X2pro5.

            Hope the above helps,  not sure how FCPX created the XML so badly but it did.

            Yours Sincerely

            James.

              James, thank you SO much. You are my hero!

              Kindly any chance at all to do the same to the final deliverable xmls that I have. I would be very very very grateful: I am on a super deadline so it would mean a lot.

              https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/grxts4tg7sn05paouue7w/AGfT5l7vUAe8VaCPEuAxjnA?rlkey=a7nilujnq7fopmkg8omii54f3&st=wgtdw5mu&dl=0

              Also, any chance to copy and past the corrupt line so I can remove it from future xmls.
              regards and thank you for your amazing amazing help.
              Bob

                Hi Bob,

                As before the FCPXML was corrupt. If you open the FCPXML in a text editor and search for r1342 you will find two references to it, but they don’t reference any media files. All I did was remove the two references and save the FCPXML. After that X2Pro5 was able to Parse and Process the AAF.

                I will send you a separate email with all the details.

                Thanks

                  Having the same problem, but it’s not just with one library/project. I’ve opened several and exported XLM files (some of which I have converted to AAF), but today I’m getting the “unable to parse” warning.

                    Hi,

                    Are you using X2Pro or X2Pro5?

                    X2Pro doesn’t support FCPXML version 1.12, so you’ll need to export the XML as Version 1.11.
                    The latest X2Pro5 does support FCPXML version 1.12. You can either export the FCPXML as 1.11 or upgrade to the latest X2Pro5.

                    Thanks

                      Ive been getting this “Unable to Parse…” message too in X2Pro (I’m on an Intel box and I can’t upgrade).

                      Been trying to export to our sound mix/music guy our 20 minute film short out for WEEKS. Our film “Back Story was named “Best Short Film” in this year’s Golden Door Film Festival, but we need to do a proper mix for two festival showings we have soon.

                      The problem at first seemed we couldn’t get a proper AAF with some AIF files we had in the project (couldn’t do AIF? go figure!) We changed these to WAV files and it worked. For the first 12 minutes. So, I explorted the first 12 minutes of the film, deciding to do a parts 1 and 2 export. But, the 2nd part, is giving me THIS error message when I try to convert in x2Pro app.

                        Dear Seth,

                        The asset r40 is referenced in the XML but in the section describing its use, it does not have the channels that it says it should have. Probably.

                        If you can attach the FCPXML we can take a look here and see what we can do.

                        Yours Sincerely

                        James.
