Major problem with track-order (Multichannel-Wav)

Leonid,

From looking at your project in my FCP and converting it to an AAF and opening it in Pro Tools, there doesn't appear to be any clip gain or automation gain that is on the wrong audio clip or in the wrong place.

I think the confusion may come from how you expect X2Pro to be referencing the clips in FCP X into Audio tracks in the AAF for Pro Tools. Let me try to explain a little.
FCP X does not have tracks in the timeline, only "lanes" and those lanes do not correspond directly to track numbers as there is no track number in FCP X. So when X2Pro goes to convert a FCP X project XML, it looks for the "roles" that the different audio clips have been assigned to put them in order. This is why you will see the settings for "roles" in the X2Pro user preferences, as well as a "Roles" button on the main X2Pro UI to view the roles inside of the loaded XML.

If you load your FCPXML into X2Pro and then click on the "Roles" button in the UI you should see something similar to this image.



If you want the audio clips to be in a specific order in the track sets in the AAF that gets outputted from X2Pro, then you can arrange them by highlighting the role and moving it up or down with the arrows on the right.

Please let me know if you can see that same thing i am talking about and understand my explanation.

Hello everyone,

we are conducting some workflow-tests for a feature-film and we're experiencing a major-problem with the order of tracks in ProTools 11.

The Track-order in FCPX is:
Track1: Mix
Track2: Boom
Track3: Atmo Center
Track4: Atmo Side

In ProTools though, the Track-order has changed. It's
Track1: Mix
Track2: Atmo Center
Track3: Boom
Track4: Atmo Side.

This is a major problem, because level-changes and so on, are still applied to the correct (FCPX-)track-number (!). For example: lowering the volume of the Boom (FCPX-Track2) in FCPX, results in a lower volume of the Atmo Center (ProTools-Track2).

We exported several AAFs with different settings (embedded, referenced, both subrole-options), problem appears in all them.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks and greeting from Berlin, Germany.
Leonid.
