Also - the files on disk did not have the right extension, so we have renamed these *.mov as well. Now the XML appears to import fine, and reconnect properly.

It sounded familiar so I had to spend some time searching through my brain... You might be encountering a limitation in reconnect where Final Cut Pro needs file extensions on the pathurls it resolves. If no pathurl is specified in the XML, the file will be brought in offline so, FCP will look for the extension on the <name> of the <file>. If there is no extension specified, it can't reconnect the clips in group. If specifying the file extension in the <file><name> doesn't resolve your issue please write up a bug on bugreporter.apple.com and attach or paste in the XML that is exhibiting the problem. (and let me know so I can peek at the XML) Thanks! Helena On Jun 30, 2008, at 2:13 PM, Peter Wiggins wrote:

All,

Hope you can help with this...

We've got a filemaker pro database that exports via XSLT into FCP XML.

What we're trying to create in FCP is a bin with clips, set up with IN

and OUT timecode and a source filename (but not path) set. We'll then reconnect to files on a SAN, keeping the IN and OUT. Multiple clips reference each source file.

We're using FMPRESULT output, and the XSL is home-grown. It builds a <bin>, not the enclosing <project>.

On import, there are no errors and the bin arrives. IN and OUT are listed correctly by FCP. Media Start and Media End are set to the same

as IN/OUT by the XSL.

However, when we select multiple clips and reconnect, FCP identifies the right source file but only reconnects one of the chosen clips.

The reconnect works perfectly - IN & OUT are preserved, Media Start/ End are updated etc etc. But only one file goes through.

In the XSL we allocate a different id to each <file> item (otherwise it gives an error on import).

We also allocate different ids to each <track> in the <clipitem>, and link them using <linkclipref>.

As I say, hope you can help

Regards

Jeremy Smith
