You might just want to not import your original clips. I just searched for your question, but it seems to be different from my "problem" - which may be a "feature". If you got a sequence just one multiclip and several edits and export this sequence as XML and re-import -- then FCP will create a bin automatically with all the multiclips of the sequence named "Multiclips" and I don't have any idea how the real relation of those clips in the bin and the clips in the sequence does work or is fool prooved. If I'm understanding correctly, I think this related to the question I asked last week. The short answer is that you can't add objects to a bin that already exists. I've filed it as a bug and got a duplicate bug number back so someone else got there first (possibly Eryk!) Here's the short answer - the only way add a clip to a bin is to replace the entire bin and its contents. This behavior is documented in the Final Cut Pro XML Interchange document. Reading the spec, it doesn't look like the updatebehavior tag will do what you want it to. Here's the description of addifnotfound: • Adds the imported component to the project provided the target component is not found. If the target component is found, does nothing. Which will do nothing in your case because the bin is found! I guess the way to achieve what you want is to append your clips' XML to the children tag of the appropriate bin. Then I'm guessing that setting the bin's updatebehavior to "replaceoradd" will replace the old bin with the new bin containing the original and extra clips. I'm trying to add a new clip to a specific bin (three levels deep) in an existing project and not having any success. I've stripped it back to a simple clip inside a single bin but still can't get the results I'm looking for. The "imports" bin already exists at the top level of the project open in FCP but when I import this, the myclip.motn file doesn't get added to the bin. Maybe somebody has an idea for me with the following: I have build an app which collects some data from external sources and then creates an FCP project out of this. The project is a multiclip project, which includes some bins and a multiclip sequence. The app is running fine and FCP imports without any errors and everything looks as expected - expect one thing. During import FCP creates a new bin "Multiclips" where the multiclips from the sequence are stored again. Is there any way to prevent FCP from doing that? It's bit confusing to have the multiclips twice in the project. Or is there something wrong with my XML?
