How do you export separate audio tracks for Pro Tools?

If you're dumping audio for ProTools, you should be able to export XML for use in PT. Haven't done it myself, but the option's been there for a while now. You should be able to find instructions easily.

If you want to stick with making Roles work, I suggest making sure the roles are assigned properly to each clip. Kind of a super pain in the neck, to go one by one, but ... that's the way. There are key commands for the three default roles, but if you've created custom ones then it's more time consuming. Is that 'Sara' one a custom Role that you've created?

My only thought is you have compound audio clips there. Maybe go in and set the roles on the individual files inside the compound clips. Dunno...

The visual organization shouldn't matter (one track above another). That's the X way.

((In your picture, you say you have some files selected. When I select, I get a yellow border; yours are light green and dark green. What is that?))

Hrm, frustrating. I see how the highlighting changes when you select the role.

You say the roles worked when you copied elements into a new project ...? Did you try copying the whole project into a new one?? Re-create all those render files, but so be it. I wonder if that would work. Sometimes projects get corrupted, it seems.

I see how the subroles work now (like Sara), but I don't really understand how it's useful. If you add the subrole to the export list, then those subrole clips appear both in the main role and the subrole. But that wasn't your problem, was it.

You might take a look at X2Pro:

You export an XML for FCP-X and X2pro converts it for ProTools.

May help for short films. Crashed on my feature and very slow feedback from X2Pro. Project cannot move forward, forcing our mixer to standby for nearly a week, and still waiting. Don't want to overreact and rant, but had I known this, FCPX would not be used, and certainly a $150 not spent on X2Pro which clearly has limitations that both Apple and X2Pro should be forward with.

YYou may have system problems, or something related to content or effects, because there have been many features cut using X2Pro for ProTools.

Thanks for the response Tom. I just want to be able to support my mixer who is at his wit's end with the process, and ultimately cannot move forward with the project until the issue is resolved.

Posting here on the Apple boards, to illustrate this FCPX workflow issue that, looking at the X2Pro boards, suggest that I am not alone in having issues moving projects to a mixer's system.

Appreciate any input.

thanks.

TThe thread is two years old. Not clear what this issue is. Your description sounds like a hardware problem.
