Hello,
I'm trying to open an XML from FCP6 and I keep getting the often mentoned "This project appears to be damaged, it cannot be opened".
Now the odd thing about this, was that it was actually just a trial run as a colleague has not got time to learn PPro and is still larking around with FCP. We are trying to become familiar with how we shall cope with XDCAM media. FCP will have to encode the media into a form that FCP can read. He is using XDCAM Transfer from within FCP.
I wanted to check how I will have to relink the media to my non-encoded XDCAM media. (The answer to this question is simple, but frustrating - I have to re-link it manually - I think)
So I gave him one XDCAM file, with its standard file structure and asked him to make a single sequence with one or two cuts. Then to export a version 4 XML.
Nothing we do will make this blasted XML file work. He has provided me with three different XML files. None of them work.
However, when I boot up an old HD, with FCP6 on it and use the same XDCAM media, I can export a version 4 XML that opens in PPro CC without problem.
So where is this annoying problem occuring?
I have even read through 80 to 100 lines to the XML to see what difference there are. I can't be bothered to look further.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks,
Anthony @ Antimatter Films
Might be faster for him to learn PP after all.
