One of Logic Pro X release notes

"Various fixes that improve XML import and export with Final Cut Pro X"


That's a good sign, in more ways than one...

Where did you read that?

Great find!

So we don't need X2Pro for this anymore?

Wow, after looking at that list I can see why we don't have an FCPX update yet - lot of time spent on Logic improvements/bug fixes.

Well I just tested this on a simple project, and Logic Pro X does indeed organize by Roles, sort of. It takes a single Role and randomly splits it into different tracks, chooses to show only half of certain audio regions, and shows a video frame that does not play; double-clicking the video and manually dragging to preview shows a completely different part of the video than that which corresponds to the project exported from FCPX via XML. I wonder, could this be any less useful? I'll test on different projects now to be sure.

My understanding is it's an entirely different team based in Germany. So FCP X resources aren't being used here.

A subsequent test yielded slightly better results, though Logic continually asks if I want to convert to 23.98 as opposed to the project's native 25 --even though the project is already at 23.98. Importing the XML into FCPX from Logic, I find it ironic that it places all audio and video as connected clips, ignoring the magnetic timeline completely. As cool as Logic Pro X is, I hope we get some actual audio mixing tools directly inside of FCPX, because even though sharing XML files with another program is pretty straightforward, it is just another unnecessary, and somewhat messy, step in the process.

Maybe it was made to run better with the next version of FCPX and not the current one? We'll find out soon I guess...

Thanks for the hands on reporting for those of us who don't have Logic Pro. Any chance you could post a screen shot of what the project was in FCPX and how it looks in Logic?

Is there any way to see which version of FCPXML the new Logic update is using? Is it possible there's been a revision we'll see in 10.1.2?

I hope so! It just seems odd that we've all learned how to work with the magnetic timeline, but as far as audio is concerned, Apple hasn't. I have great confidence in them though.

"Any chance you could post a screen shot of what the project was in FCP...?" Unfortunately, no. I duplicated a client project and tested with that. She would not be thrilled if I shared with the forum first :)

I'm not sure how to check which version of XML I'm using. A "Get Info" check reveals nothing.

Open the FCPXML in a text editor (like TextWrangler free on the App store), and then you'll see it on the first few lines:

That is the XML spec, the FCPXML version will be in the <fcpxml> tag:

<fcpxml version="1.3">

to add something on tpayton's comment - it is not the version of the xml which matters. it is the type of the xml. this can be found in the <!DOCTYPE> tag.
apps maybe can read several types of xml but maybe export only one type.

Ah, I was reaching for an excuse as to why we haven't seen any updates yet. Totally thought we would see one by today.
