    Exporting an FCP XML gives me a pretty random XML file.

    michaelmcreynolds Community Member

      This is driving me crazy. I'm trying to export an XML for Resolve. I've tried this several different ways with exactly the same results and can't figure out why.

       

      When I select the sequence in the project panel -> Export -> I get an XML file with just one clip in it and it's not even the right edit.

       

      So I copied the entire timeline to a new sequence, cleaned up everything, deleted the adjustment layers and made it just as simple as possible. There's not even an audio.

      Still the same thing happens.

       

      So then I made a brand new project. Imported the old project but only imported the one sequence I want and tried again.

      Same thing. Just one clip up front. I even deleted half the timeline. Still just one clip.

       

      My assumption is that it's thinking there is a clip selected and that's that clip I'm trying to export as XML. I can check this by closing all the timelines, selecting nothing in the project window and go to export. It doens't ask me what sequence, it just exports the same XML file as before. Even when I've created a whole new project.

       

      Here's were it gets really interesting. I have 5 sequences in the project. If I select any of the 4 of them, BOOM, same worthless XML file. But if select the 5th which was my very first rough cut, it exports fine. All the XML is there.

       

      Hopefully someone has had this problem.

       

      Here's the XML file it generates.
