  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

new logic pro drops out of the sky

From FCPX export .fcpxml
import .fcpxml into Logic Pro X
Export .aaf from Logic Pro X

Isn't it that simple or is it somehow convoluted? I would love to know if that doesn't work for some reason.

Anyone figured out how to FCPX>LPX>.aaf for ProTools workflow yet? I'm getting 246 tracks of audio for a 20 minute feature reel. From the looks of other forums, that's about par for the course...

Well those are the steps yes, but importing .fcpxml into logic results in every audio clip being on it's own track, hence the 246 audio tracks in logic. Roles are not recognized and all my production audio starts at the beginning of the clip rather than the IN point of the edit. Seems like either FCPX needs an update or Logic X isn't full operational yet. Looks nice, and the iPad control app is lightning fast though.

I see what you were getting at now. I read about that elsewhere as well. It will be nice when Logic handles roles properly, but for now I see two work arounds:

Prep the timeline much as you would when prepping for an XML export to a video app and do a pre-render step. Sum your audio clips by first exporting your roles from FCPX to single audio files then bring them back into an intermediate copy of your FCPX project and export that XML.

A more useful if not tedious method might be to use Logic X's track stacking function to build your stems. Have you tried that? For those who have not heard of it; Track stacking appears to be a visual way of routing tracks to a common bus. This allows you to keep clips discreet but collapse the group to look and behave like a single track and apply treatments en masse while tidying up the workspace. EDIT: This will make working in Logic easier, but won't help in the trip to Pro Tools.

If you plan for this in pre-production and name audio clips by their function, they will be more recognizable and summing them manually will be easier. Does Logic X recognize FCPX's color labels? If so, that too would make summing and stacking easier.
