To provide a smooth transition when importing FCP XML files into Flame, follow these steps.
- Ensure that there is only one timecode track used in each of the selected files. See Setting One Timecode Track in Final Cut Pro.
- Prepare the sequences in FCP that will be exported as XML. Do one of the following:
- If you are editing from tape, perform logging and capture from a VTR in FCP. See Logging and Capturing from Tape in Final Cut Pro.
- If you are editing from files, verify that the supported media specifications and network configuration links are still valid
for accessing the file-based media.
- Edit and add effects and transitions in FCP. See Supported and Unsupported Effects.
- Export XML sequences from FCP. See Exporting Sequences from Final Cut Pro.
- Import the FCP XML, and then recapture or relink the media. See Importing Final Cut Pro XML.
- Work on the recaptured project and finish it for final output.
