XML Import Issues: "An offline clip was not created because of insufficient data." "No such file directory"

Hey everyone. It's looking like every issue I find on here with people asking about issues with importing an XML file, it has been a different error every time.


I'm working with a client right now that needed me to work on a project in Final Cut Pro X. He sent me the footage and an XML file of his project, since I need to work on what is already existing.


However, when I try to import the XML, I get this error message:


"The file (____) Could Not be Imported


The media file cannot be imported. An offline clip was not created because of insufficient data. (frameDuration=<empty>: /fcpxml[1]/resources[1]/format[9])


No such file or directory."


I'm not sure if I can piece together what is wrong with the file on my own.


I am using Final Cut Version 10.5.4, on my late 2017 MacBook Pro.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

Sorry, I do not see anything wrong with it.

I even copied that bit of xml and used it in an xml file and it worked.


Looking back, I see that the error says "duration=<empty>".

It is possible that the one you posted is not what is causing an error - clearly this one has a duration="11068/600s".


I could have a look at the whole xml file if that is possible (I can understand why it may not); and you could do a little search for the word duration and see if you can find the offending one.
