      I’m getting this error with my XML: The file couldn’t be opened because it isn’t in the correct format.

      I’ve exported the XML in both version 1.11 and 1.12, and neither is working. I can confirm the XMLs open fine when I import back into Final Cut, so they’re not corrupt.

        Hi Andy,

        Could you please attach one of the XML’s to the post and we will investigate.

        Yours Sincerely

        James

          Hi James,

          Thanks a lot.

          Please find attached XML in 1.12 version.

          Cheers,
          Andy

            Hi Andy,

            It looks like there is a FCPXMLD inside the FCPXMLD, we are looking into how we can support that. In the meantime if you look inside Rough-Cuts_Full-Doc_V13_1.12.fcpxmld you will see Rough Cuts_Full Doc_V13_1.12.fcpxmld, if you process this lower level folder instead you will be able to create an AAF, I can here.

            Let us know how you get on please.

            Yours Sincerely

            James.

              Hi Andy,

              Just as an update we had looked at and resolved previously where the actual xmld was inside another xmld, i.e. one layer deep but your example is 2 layers deep to get to the actual xmld.

              Yours Sincerely

              James.

                I have the same problem but could only go one level deep into the fcpxlmd.
                I join the file.

                      What version of FCPXML are you trying to open and what version of FCP are you running? Please upload a sample which will not open and we can check it for you.

                        Hi! I am having the same problem. Attached is my XML export. I am running Final Cut Version 11 on Sequoia 15.2. This is Final Cut’s newest update.

                          Joanna,
                          that xml is V1.13, can you try exporting a V1.12 version from FCP and see whether that works please? What version of X2Pro5 is installed?

                          Tim.

                            Hi Joanna,

                            V1.13 is supported in the latest build of X2Pro5 on the AppStore (5.0.43) you might want to upgrade.

                            Yours Sincerely

                            James
