Hi all

I'm trying to import an xml file from PPro 5.5 to FCP 7.
The footage shote on a Panasonic P2 HD as a MXF files and I want it to be converted to a ProRes 422 HQ (there are no Proxy files at the original files)
I opened the project in PPro on my MacBook pro and import all the MXF video files and watch them perfect.
I marked all the bins and choose file > export > xml to FCP and save it on a external HDD.
I took the HDD and connected it to a Mac V - 10.6.8 that do not have a PPro but have FCP7.
Transfer all the Project to the Internal hard drive. Open FCP7 and importing the xml file.

I'm getting a message that the project was tracoded well but there some error.
At the log error it giving me the next message
: Unable to attach specified media file to new clip.
and in the browser the files look offline (picture attached)



Am I doing something wrong?

FCP only reads Quicktime files, not the original MXF. You need to convert them all to QT ProRes 422, then re-link them.

I solved the problem. The MXF files can go in to FCP via Log and Transfer but in my case the cameraman didn't copy the all structure of the P2 card what made it unrecognized by FCP. I add the missing folder and by miracle the log and transfer function is running.
