Alternatively, you can send us your xml and we will take a look at it for you.

I talked with another editor who had a similar problem and what solved both of our issues was to transcode the clips that were showing up in the error message to ProRes, and then cut them back in to X.
It's tedious, because there were about 10 clips cut multiple times throughout the film and all of those edits had to be replaced. But it did make the error message go away, and I was able to export AAFs effectively.
Unfortunately, uploading my XML to the link you provided did not fix the issue.
Many thanks

Sorry I wasn't very clear in my last response. This is a known problem with some xmls, they describe an asset (In this case GettyImages-97862651) as having no audio, but then later on it tries to reference the assets audio (of which there is none) and causes the whole error "No audio tracks defined in asset [GettyImages-97862651]" as it thinks there should be some audio.
Basically, the XML has been badly formed as such we cannot work with it, however the fixfcp.xml should add the xml audio details in the asset section if audio is referenced later in the xml for a clip that was originally signed as video only.
We are happy to look at the media in question if you are able to supply it to see why the fixfcpxml
might not have worked.
Thanks,
Daniel

Thanks for getting back to me......unfortunately the upload didn't fix it.
And yes....I am aware that the clip that's reported in the Fatal Error Report is a stock shot that DOES NOT have any audio.
So I'm not sure why that prevents the entire AAF export from proceeding?
This is what I found so confusing.
When I remove every occurrence of that clip from the cut.....I was able to get X2Pro to export the AAF's.
I am now transcoding the shot to another codec and will re-edit into my cut.
Hopefully that will resolve the problem.
If there is any additional light you can shed for me so that I understand this better, I'd be grateful.
Thank you!

Your XML describes that asset as having no audio, but then tries to reference the assets audio later on.
A temporary workaround is to upload your fcpxml to fixfcpxml.appspot.com/ and that should allow you to download a fixed fcpxml that X2Pro will convert.
Hope this has sorted the issue,
Daniel

I am brand new to X2Pro and have just received a similar Fatal Errors report:
The following fatal errors were found:
Processing Audio element
Processing element ProjectElement
Processing element AudioElement
Extracting audio
Extracting Audio
No audio tracks defined in asset [GettyImages-97862651]
Processing element SequenceElement
Processing element VideoElement
Processing element SpineElement
Processing element ClipElement
Processing element GapElement
I have attached my XML.
ANY guidance would be MOST appreciated. We're on a bit of a time crunch to turn this over to our sound guys.
Many thanks,
Sherril

Did you use the "fixfcp" application on your XML ? And was X2Pro ok with the resultant FCPXML ?
Yours sincerely
