The information in this section indicates how Final Cut Pro X (10.0.3) data and effects map to Flame data and effects. Unsupported transitions and effects are indicated as not supported.
Due to the limited information written to the XML file by Final Cut Pro X, the conform in Flame may look different from the original sequence created in Final Cut Pro X: Flame cannot set parameters or effects about which there is no information.
To know how the timeline will look in Flame, export in Final Cut Pro X the timeline to XML, and then import it back in Final Cut Pro X.
The following general limitations apply to Final Cut Pro X XML imports in Flame:
In cases where the video and audio are imported and treated as a single entity in the Final Cut Pro X sequence, applying a video transition affects both video and audio and is translated in Flame as follows:
| Apple Final Cut Pro X Wipes | Translation in Flame |
|---|---|
| Bands | SMPTE Wipe 001 + cue mark |
| Center | supported |
| Checker | SMPTE Wipe 001 + cue mark |
| Circle | supported |
| Clock | supported |
| Gradient Image | Dissolve + cue mark |
| Inset Wipe | supported |
| Letter X | supported |
| Wipe | supported |
A clip retime is translated to a Soft Timewarp with matching speed up or down.
| Final Cut Pro X Retime | Translation in Flame |
|---|---|
| Slow | Slower than real-time linear timewarp, at same speed as in Final Cut Pro X |
| Fast | Faster than real-time linear timewarp, at same speed as in Final Cut Pro X |
| Normal 100% | Not Timewarp |
| Hold | 0% Soft Timewarp, using same frame as the one defined in Final Cut Pro X |
| Reverse | Reverse speed linear timewarp, at same speed as in Final Cut Pro X |
| Speed Ramp (to 0% / from 0%) | Animated speed ramp timewarp |
| Rewind (1x / 2x / 4x) | Animated speed ramp timewarp |
Text effects parameters are not saved to the Final Cut Pro X XML, only the text strings are.
