I just downloaded X2Pro, so I am assuming that is also updated.
Below is copy/paste of the error. Interestingly, i don't get this error with the XML from the 2 minute trailer or this project which uses many of the same tracks, but the much longer, full piece isn't working. It makes the thing there is a certain track that is causing the failure. thoughts? Audio guy is sitting around waiting on this. Urgent help required.
"Unable to parse FCP XML file to obtain project information
Suggestions:
- Ensure that the file is not locked by another application and is readable;
- Ensure that this is a valid FCP XML file from a released version of FCP X;
- Ensure that this is the export of a Project, not of a Library or Event;
- Ensure that this is not an empty project (or that all audio is disabled);
X2Pro Audio Convert 4.0.29"

All the media is consolidated in the library with the project in it.
I highlight the project only and export XML.
Every time I run the XML through X2Pro I get this error message (see attached picture also):
Unable to parse FCP XML file to obtain project information
Details:
Parse of /Volumes/Seagate Backup Plus Drive/FCPX Libraries/Inheritance/Inheritance whole1-6-2-none-TEST.fcpxml returned no clips
This may be because the project was empty, contained only disabled audio or because all roles were de-selected
Suggestions:
- Ensure that the file is not locked by another application and is readable;
- Ensure that this is a valid FCP XML file from a released version of FCP X;
- Ensure that this is the export of a Project, not of an Event;
- Ensure that this is not an empty project (or that all audio is disabled);
I have followed the troubleshoot advice above and still have the problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

That's good to hear because we know a way of getting FCP X to sort it then. Unfortunately I'm afraid I no longer have the video I was offering you 7 months ago, but I can give you simple instructions.
1. !!Make sure that you back-up your projects and events file before doing any of this!!
2. Leave the clips in the FCP X event, but move the mov files from the event folder on the hard disk to another folder (e.g. desktop). This should make all the clips in the event go offline.
3. Relink all the clips in the event to the mov files in their new location. Once those clips are back online, an FCPXML export should work as expected and X2Pro will be able to process it.
Let me know if you need any clarification on any of the steps. If not, let us know how you get on.

/Users/colinmarth/Desktop/X2Pro Error.tiff
and am right back where I started. I am now running FCP X version 10.0.8, and have updated to the very latest version of X2Pro.
I have checked my timeline and all appears fine. the footage was imported with this version of FCPX. What to do now?
