Hello,
I have read about the workarounds, unfortunately I still face this issue of file not existing.
Does anyone have a step-by-step idiot’s guide for getting this to work?
Also, if we’re going to see this bug fixed in the next update.
FCPXML 1.11 (I have tried other version) – I exported as Basic and as Audio and both don’t work.
Any advice will be appreciated as I need to deliver the cut to the sound designer soon.
🙂

Dear SMNASS
Sorry to hear that, would you be able to attach the FCPXMLD, and a picture of the actual message you get please. Depending on where the process failed there may be a .log created where the AAF should have been, if one exists can you forward that please.
Yours Sincerely
James.

Having the same issue.
Also to note it was working fine just 4 days ago.
Hi Jeff
If you try to import the fcpxmld into Final Cut you get a similar error when attempting to process in X2Pro5. The issue is that the Project CWSA 2025.fcpxmld contains CWSA 2025.fcpxmld and in here is the info.xml used by both X2Pro5 and Final Cut.
To resolve open the containing project CWSA 2025.fcpxmld, copy out the folder inside called CWSA 2025.fcpxmld and only use this xmld i.e. not the xmld that contains an xmld.
Yours Sincerely
James.
Sorry for the delay, Having the same issue with another project.
Not sure what you mean by “copy out the folder…”
I’m on version 5.044 my other user is on 5.043 and the same XML works fine.
Hi Jeff,
Rule of thumb, is import the FCPXMLD back into FCPX on that machine (your not doing this to work on the project just see whether FCPX can read it), if you get the same error X2Pro5 gets, then it is probable that the XMLD is oddly formatted.
What we have seen is that you will have the project xyz.xmld, if you look inside this you see xyz.xmld, if you look inside this you will see the Info.fxpxml, which is the actual project.
It is easier to see this on a windows box. So on a windows box, if you have xmld inside another xmld. Then copy out the xyz.fcpxml\Info.fcpxml, i.e. if you now looked at the folder you created somewhere in windows you will see xyz.fcpxmld and below this info.fcpxml and then use this instead of the xyz.fcpxmld\xyz.fcpxmld\info.xml
Apologies if its a little confusing, I don’t quite know how else to explain it.
Regarding it working in 5.0.43 and not 5.0.44, is there a difference in OS or version of FCP on those machines ?
Many thanks
James.
Hey James, sorry for the delay have been away on holiday. regarding the two machines one on 5.043 and the other 5.0.44(not working) they are both on the same OS. The FCPXMLD created imports into FCP no problem. I can see the info.fcpxml inside of the fcpxmld package. Just not sure what to do with it.
Hi Jeff,
If you can see the info.fcpxml process this directly and not the parent folder. The only change between 43 and 44 was to cope with “Wrong Number of Data Buffers” error which essentially meant physically checking the MOV file to find out what the channel layout really is, rather than relying on the XML to tell us. Will check with development. There were no other changes, as far as I can see. Let me know if the workaround works of just processing the info.fcpxml.
Many thanks.

James, I’m not sure what you mean by
“If you can see the info.fcpxml process this directly and not the parent folder.”
The generated fcpxmld only contains the Info.fcpxml- This reply was modified 3 months, 2 weeks ago by jlonigrocbssports.
Hi Jeff,
We cannot replicate here the difference you see between 5.0.43 and 5.0.44, what I meant to say is on the machine that is running 5.0.44, which has the issue. Attempt to import the xmld back into FCP, if you get a similar error, then you can in safari or explorer open up the xmld until you get down to the info.xml and then drag this into X2Pro5, not the xmld.
If you can upload the xmld that has an issue on your .44 machine that would be good.
Yours Sincerely
James.
Quick update, I deleted and reinstalled the app. Same file that had a problem this AM still failed. I tried again after switching embed media on/off and it worked. Hopefully that provides some useful info.
Hi Jeff,
What is the exact error that you saw with the embed media option on, a screen shot and a copy of the fcpxmld in question would be good 🙂
Yours Sincerely
James.
