Unable to parse FCP XML file

In an attempt to gain access to the audio files I used Logic Pro to open the XML and it generated the .wav files. I imported those into the Pro Tools Audio folder and re linked. There were still a few files missing however, 90% of them were there. I would really like to get this to work. Can we do a screen share?

Yes. The clips are active. I've included a screenshot of Pro Tools below.

I can see the clips above being used in the first xml you sent. But I don't see any use the below anywhere. Are the clips below definitely active in your project in FCPX? As they aren't showing up in the fcpxml there isn't much X2Pro can do as it only works with what is in the fcpxml.

Here is the latest XML as well.

The retimed clip at 01:21:02.81 has been moved to role retimed-dialogue.MONO_MIX
The retimed clip at 01:21:02.81 has been moved to role retimed-dialogue.Boom
The retimed clip at 01:21:02.81 has been moved to role retimed-dialogue.Tina
The retimed clip at 01:21:02.81 has been moved to role retimed-dialogue.Donell


Is this the dialogue that you are missing? If so you should find this as a new role near the bottom of the AAF. They have been moved to their own new roles because we do not take any retiming from FCP X so they will need to be retimed again by the audio engineer in Pro Tools.

If there is more audio missing could you please let us know the name of a couple files and we can investigate further.

X2Pro Audio Convert 4.5.6

Thanks for your help. Changing this allowed the software to export the file, however non of the dialogue recording are exporting into the AFF file. What should I do?

In the preferences, on the Media Handling page, there is an option called 'Reference multi-channel WAV files'. If you tick this then it will stop rejecting WAV files with more than 1 channel.

Another option worth noting, "Handling media that cant be referenced" this can be useful if you want X2Pro to generate the AAF without the media it is unable to read.

Hi Sean,

Are you using the "Reference WAV files in place" option in X2Pro?

After removing that asset, here is a new error. This is a 3 channel audio file consisting of Mix, Boom, and Lav. It plays fine in the timeline.

Writing AAF file
Getting audio characteristics for asset [10T03]
Error trying to create reference for asset (not a WAV file or too many audio channels)

No AAF file has been generated.
X2Pro Audio Convert 4.5.6

It seems that the goal post keeps moving. As I fix one file, a new one pops up.

I've located the problem and removed the file.

I found the file and it's a Audio file that is used in the project. I don't understand why it's not valid as it plays fine in the timeline. I do not have another option.

What else can be done? Any chance to do a Teams screen share?
