Problems with importing fcpxml files

That is a known bug with 10.6.

The new XML framework fails with handling numbers on non UK/US systems.

There are several XML bugs but the „big“ one can be handled by switching language/region to English/AUS, UK, US.

If you’re using XTI there’s a temporary version with a workaround for the “main bug”.

Anyway - if you rely on XMLs keep a 10.5 version to import those.

This problem is supposed to have been fixed in 10.6.1, so if you are still using 10.6, update FCP and you should be fine.

This is a bugfix update and does not change the library format, but you should have a backup nevertheless.

If the problem happens to you in 10.6.1 also then do tell us.

Where do these files originate from? There were threads very recently like this, and the files were from PluralEyes; in that case, the version of the xml was just too old.

If you need access to those, I can for now only suggest you grab a copy of 10.5.4 from your Time Machine (you do use it, don't you?).

If it is something else, can you tell us what version is the xml? Open the file in a text editor, the version should be right near the top of the file.

I was able to get the link before it was removed.

The file imported without any errors.

Of course, I don't have the media, but I can open the long compound clip and see the many titles inside.

Try deleting preferences (always a good idea when something is not working well in the application).

To delete preferences, hold down command and option while starting FCP X and click Delete Preferences.

The application will start in a default state, and open an "Untitled" library. Reopen the library you were working on, set the preferences the way you like them, and try again.

Another thing: does FCP have Full Disk Access in System Preferences->Security & Privacy->Privacy? It should.

Hello MadeOnekhv

As Luis said:

Where do these files come from?

1. PluralEyes?
2. Some other version of FCP, if yes: Which one?
3. From my X-Title Importer
4. Somewhere else?

If they are from my X-Title Import there was a fix two day after the 10.6 release.

FCP stopped supporting XMLs below version 1.5 with the new Swift framework.

Language & Region System Preferences.

FCP 10.6 can read version 1.9.

Would you be willing to share a file showing the problem?

I would like to try and see where the problem is.

You could open in a text editor, select all, copy, then in a reply here click "additional text" and paste the xml.

What exactly is it that does not work?

Specifically, where do these xml files come from? PluralEyes? Some other version of FCP? Which one? Somewhere else?

There was a thread recently about PluralEyes, and the fact that it produced a very old version of xml.

How do you change your language/region. I am having this exact issue right now. thanks

10.6.1, ENglish/UK, don't work

What’s the error (problem)

Could you describe a bit more detailed?
