I've found a strange XML import behavior in Final Cut Pro. Here's the scenario: I make a new project and add a clip to the Browser with 1 video and 4 audio tracks. Drag the clip into the timeline, select it and unlink the tracks, and delete the 4 audio tracks. Then drag the video track into a new bin in the browser to give you a new clip with no audio tracks. With the new clip selected, export XML. If you import this XML into a new project, making sure that the "Reconnect to Media" checkbox is off, the offline clip shows as having no audio tracks. When you manually reconnect media, the deleted audio tracks reappear in the online clip. There's even further weirdness if you want to compare automatic vs manual reconnecting to media. Take a video clip with audio and merge it with another audio clip. Drag the merged clip to the timeline, unlink, delete the camera audio tracks, relink, and drag it back to a new bin in the browser. Export XML for this clip, then import XML into a new project. If you choose to Reconnect to Media on import, the clip can't be opened into the Viewer (there's General Error and Error: Out of Memory dialogs). Dragging the clip to the timeline shows a "shadow" of all audio tracks, but resolves to just the tracks that weren't deleted previously. If instead you don't reconnect to media on import, but then manually reconnect, you get the expected number of audio tracks and a clip that can be opened in the Viewer.
