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...
