Please read carefully!!!
I did not say "Delete line 7475", I said to remove the .icloud extension from the file in that line.
The line in question was (this is just one very long line):
<media-rep kind="original-media" sig="CE29E829D52D3B3C9C810CB2E79DB6A5" src="file:///Users/jonathanregondolajr/Desktop/Music%20For%20Laptop/intros/.love-is-beginning-imaginary-future-musicbed-licensed.wav.icloud">
and should become as shown below:
<media-rep kind="original-media" sig="CE29E829D52D3B3C9C810CB2E79DB6A5" src="file:///Users/jonathanregondolajr/Desktop/Music%20For%20Laptop/intros/.love-is-beginning-imaginary-future-musicbed-licensed.wav">

If you cannot or will not share the whole file, maybe you can just post here the first few lines.
Just control-click, Open With, TextEdit, then select the first 20 lines or so, Copy.
In a reply here, click the Additional Text button:
and Paste.
For some reason, that particular asset refers to a file with name
.love-is-beginning-imaginary-future-musicbed-licensed.wav.icloud
Two strange things in there:
1) the file name begins with a period - files like these are hidden by default in macOS, and that is not what one normally would use for a media file
2) the file has extension .icloud - this is completely new to me.
The word "licensed" as part of the file name also is unusual.
Do you recognize this name?
If one were to remove .icloud from the name, at least it would look like an audio file - ending in .wav
I tried importing the xml as it was, and, not surprisingly, it gave me the same error.
Then I manually edited the file, and removed that .icloud extension in line 7475. (*)
The xml then loaded and it seems ok (of course, all the media shows as offline, but I did get a project called "Documentary", with a duration of about 1 hour and 11 minutes.
(*) To edit the xml:
1) In the Finder, control-click and choose Show Package Contents
2) Open the info.xml file in a text editor, like TextMate or TextEdit: control-click, Open With, and choose the application
3) Make the change in line 7475 and Command-S to save.
this is what I'm getting. How do I send you the file through here?
I deleted line 7475 and this is what I got :(
Which versions of FCP are you importing from and to?
Would it be possible to share the xml file so we can have a look?
the project was from back in April this year. Not quite sure what version of FCPX was at that time.
Thank you SOOOO MUCH! You are THE MAN!!
