Fail to import timeline using FCPXML file

PostThu Dec 09, 2021 8:34 am

Hi, I am using Resolve 17.4.2 on Mac. When importing timeline using FCPXML file, it always tell me "The clip was not found!", even I choose to specify a folder to search. But, if I import clips into media pool firstly, and then import timeline again, it's successful. I don't know the reason, never meet this issue in previous Davinci Resolve version. I use sequence TIFF files as import.

Anyone can help to check? Thanks.

So, not failing to import timeline, just failing to relink some media, correct?
Is the FCPXML coming from a project on the same Mac, same storage system, file paths etc?
Let's have a return to the glory days, when press releases for new versions included text like "...with over 300 new features and improvements that professional editors and colorists have asked for."

Hi Andy,

No, both timeline and all medias are not imported. The FCPXML is exported from Davinci Resolve. All projects and medias are on same Mac.

Thanks.

Try exporting a FCPx 1.8xml, or 1.7

Blackmagic has confirmed it's a bug in 17.4.x. Hope it could be fixed ASAP.
