The file couldn’t be opened because it isn’t in the correct format.

Hi there,
I use FCPX V.12.0, X2Pro5 V.5.0.44, export XML V.1.13

I tried to create an AFF file, but when I hit “run” button i get a message(screenshot attached):
“The file couldn’t be opened because it isn’t in the correct format.”

I tried exporting it in all available versions and options (1.12, 1.13, 1.14), but no help.

In the previous project, I had no problem with it. Please could you help me with this issue, because it is very urgent, I need to send this project for audio mixing this Sunday.

Thank you.

So I tried to run XML from the previous project (which went ok that time), and the same Issue now.

If you can’t process an XML which previously worked it seems likely that the problem is that X2Pro5 does not have access to the media locations. Check whether the locations are all accessible to X2Pro5 and if they are already in the media locations list try removing and re-adding them.

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

After relocating the files did you re-link the project to their new location and re-export the xml? Unless you do these things the XML will still be referencing the same, inaccessible, location as before.

Thanks for your reply!
I have relocated the media files, relocated the project file, opened, closed, reopened FCPX and X2Pro5, relinked the files. Nothing seems to work. I still have the same error message showing and no clue as to how to make a proper xml.
I don’t even know what the error message refers to. I export the xml in the version 1.12

Here is the xml file attached.
