Importing multiple FCP7 timelines via XML

Hello - I have a fairly simple FCP7 project that I need to import into Resolve. All audio. Several edited timelines arranged in bins. My media (219 radio shows) is in one external Finder bin.

I've tried bringing in all my media files (219 files) into the media pool, then importing the project XML that I created in FCP7. Result: I get one (seemingly random) timeline, with a working audio file.

Is there a way to bring everything in at once, arranged in the proper bins? I can't find anything in the tutorials or manual specifically on this.

As a side note, I imported the same XML into FCPX with the 7toX app. Flawless. All the edited timelines in their bins. So I know it works. I'm just now upgrading from FCP7 and I'd prefer to use Resolve for many reasons (cost, more friendly workflow etc.).

Can anyone walk me through the import process?

Barring a solution, I guess that I need to put all my edited material on one timeline, then break it up in Resolve (assuming I can).

Or create an XML for each timeline?

I'm new to Resolve.

OK, first try to export an XML for a single timeline, which might work.

If not, you have the option to export your movie in a high-quality codec like ProRes 422 HQ and cut it up in Resolve by exporting an EDL from FCP.

Hi Uli - The single timeline XMLs work fine. I'll just need to do 138 of them. Not a big deal. Most of my projects only have a few timelines. Thanks for the ProRes 422 idea, as well. I may need that for another project
