After updating FCP to 10.4.1 and X2Pro to 4.2.1 AAF files will not generate- err

Hi Chris,

I will send you an email.

Daniel,
I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling with the same issues. I couldn't find an "uninstaller" so I just moved the app to the trash and emptied the trash. I then reinstalled the app through the "App Store." It still doesn't work. Do you have a better method of uninstalling?
We currently have been using another computer to create our AAF files but it is time consuming as we have to edit the XML file manually as the media is located on different drives.
If you have a different version that I can install that would fix the issue I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks,
chris

Uninstalling X2Pro and reinstalling might fix the bookmark issue you are having.

If that isn't successful, we can look at providing you a different version of X2Pro.

10.13.4

Hi Chris,

What OS version are you using? Some versions did cause a few different issues with bookmarking.

After updating to FCP 10.4.1 and X2pro to 4.2.1, I am no longer able to generate AAF files. I get error codes only... The suggestion to make sure the media is accessible does not help as I have verified that the media is accessible under the preferences and have tested the XML files against it. I have tried using the XML file generated with the previous version of FCP which worked fine last week with the same results...
Removing the offending file from the timeline and re-exporting the XML file still brings the same results with another file being listed in the error code. In checking the system log, all the audio files in the XML seem to be having the same issue that the "bookmark cannot be found." All the files are contained within the FCP library. I have specifically added the library in X2Pro preferences with the same result and tried changing the the read/write status of the library to "everyone" but nothing has helped.
The error codes and part of the system log are below...
