site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev@lists.apple.com Well in this case it's not me setting anything (yet) - this failure is happening on the XML exported from FCP. Before writing any code I wanted a "template" for what the XML should look like, but even FCP can't get the XML to work!

Greg,

Are you sure that you have set the ids correctly beside links and pathurls?

Hi List,

I'm doing some client work: there's audio clips in FCP where the audio recorder was stopped and started during a take. My quick and easy solution to sticking these back together was to use Merge Clips on Timecode which creates a new clip with the audio perfectly in place.

There's quite a few of these clips, so being a lazy programmer I decided to detect the ones that needed merging programmatically and make the merged clips XML. But here's the problem: the exported XML for a merged clip of 2 audio clips made in FCP doesn't import back correctly! The XML Error Log reports "<file>: Unable to attach specified media file to new clip." and the imported clip shows only the tracks for the first audio file. Suggesting that there's something amiss in the second <file> listing.

I've tried commenting out parts of the XML with no success.

I know this situation is unusual, but I'm surprised/frustrated/scared by the fact that a clip in a FCP project doesn't survive the XML roundtrip.

Any guidance or wisdom is appreciated as I don't fancy the idea of manually creating merged clips...
