The problem is that I'm working on a workflow proposal. I don't actually
have a copy of FCE to experiment with, so before I recommend for people
to spend money I want to have some idea that it will work. I have a
group of people that I collaborate with who currently have iMacs/iBooks
and as such can't run Final Cut Studio as they're not up to spec, they
can however run FCE, and for simple timeline editing that's all they need.
However interoperability between FCE and FCP is obviously a problem,
which is why it would be nice to able to export out of FCP something
they could read.
Thanks,

Hi SImon,
Haven't you tried to "force open" the FCP XML with FCE, it used to work,
I don't have this machine with FCE anymore (the version was FCE HD)
but that worked fine. You should probably use XML version 2 with your
FCP export. For the other way round (FCE to FCP) you don't need XML.

From what I know the iMovie exported XML is the FCP XML interchange
format, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Due to the difference in
functionality between FCP and FCE there obviously won't be complete
support for all the features, but for shared functionality this
shouldn't be a problem.

Hi folks,
There is no XML support in FCE except for iMovie exported XML. You
can however, open any FCE project in FCP. It really isn't meant to
go the other way.
Best Luck,
Helnea

It would seem that a plugin for FCE that could export FCP XML would
be very beneficial and not that difficult to do, is there anyone
working on something like this? Or is this something that Apple may
be planning for a future FCE release, it would fit with their
policy of interoperability between the products.
What do you mean by long version? Do you mean not supporting nested
sequences?

You can't export XML out of FCE, but FCP can open FCE files. FCE
does not officially import XML, but you can drag a XML to the FCE
program icon and it will import the XML as long version and used
effects etc will match.

I'm interested in the compatibility between the project/timeline
formats of Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro. If they are both
XML is it possible to share the files between the two
applications and if not is there a simple conversion tool
(Bi-directional)?
I'm not talking about sophisticated LiveType or Motion
functionality, just basic timeline editing with simple common
filters and transitions. As I'm aware that there are some
functional differences between the two applications.
Thanks,
Simon...
