X2Pro Version 2.0 is now available on the Mac App Store with new professional features delivering more control, faster turnaround, smaller AAF files and better laid out tracks in your DAW: 

• Audio files can be referenced as well as embedded 
• Embedded audio can be trimmed 
• Control over Roles and Subroles export and ordering 
• BWF metadata preserved in AAF file Roles packed more tightly into Tracks
• Many minor bug fixes and enhancement

X2Pro Version 2.0 is $149. All purchasers of Version 1.1 at $99 will be able to upgrade for free.

In addition for those who do not need the advanced professional functions of referenced, trimmed media, or close control of the conversion of Roles, can look at X2ProLE which is a lower cost version.

X2ProLE which includes all the features that were in V1.1 of X2Pro is now available at just $59.

X2ProLE users can be upgraded to the full Pro version with an In App Purchase.

The full version of X2Pro is aimed at Professional users of audio and video.

X2ProLE is a lower cost version for those who do not need the advanced professional functions of referenced, trimmed media, or close control of the conversion of Roles.

X2ProLE is available at just $59 and includes all the features that were in Version 1.1 of X2Pro.

X2ProLE users can be upgraded to the full Pro version with an In App Purchase.

Only audio media is translated, video media is ignored. We recommend rendering an off-line or proxy version of the flattened video and exporting that if a reference is needed within Pro Tools.

X2Pro Audio Convert for professional users is available on the Mac App Store at $149.99.

X2ProLE is available on the Mac App Store at $59.99.

FCP X does not have an analogous concept to tracks in a Pro Tools timeline, so a converted project will look different in Pro Tools compared with FCP X. We use the names of Roles to sort the media. In addition in the Pro version of X2Pro v2 you can control which roles are added to the AAF and what their order is.

Audio media can be any QuickTime supported audio, non-PCM audio is converted to PCM at either 16 or 24 bit.

Some media that is supported by FCP X is not supported by QuickTime, such as some from camcorders, this is not supported in X2Pro.

X2Pro v1.1 faithfully translates your audio timeline along with L-cuts, J-cuts, volume adjustments, fade handles, markers and transitions (linear cross fades) as well as the incredibly powerful FCP-X compound clips.

X2Pr gives a clear warning when it comes across elements of a sequence which it does not currently translate such as panning, timemaps and effects. Auditions must be finalized first before exporting the XML to X2Pro. External projects cannot currently be translated and are reported as an error.

Warnings indicate that some part of the project information was not translated but that an AAF has been created which accurately reflects the timeline. Errors indicate that the project contains features which could not be translated and no AAF has been created. You can copy the contents of this window to help you refine the FCP X project to better translate, or to hand over to audio finishing for their information.

We are keen to improve X2Pro, so if you find a problem, please email your XML file (no need for media) along with a description of the problem to: support@x2pro.net.

We would love to hear about your suggestions for new features in X2Pro, please submit your suggestion on the X2Pro forum. Click here to join.

X2Pro works on FCP XML version 1.1 (FCP 10.0.4 or 10.0.5) and produces an AAF which requires Avid Pro Tools v7.0 or later for AAF import (not LE versions).

X2Pro runs on Snow Leopard (10.6), Lion (10.7) or Mountain Lion (10.8).

In App Purchase of upgrade to Pro version from LE version is not available in Snow Leopard.

X2Pro will create a space in the timeline which is the length of the timemapped clip (i.e. if the used part of the clip is one minute long and is slowed down by 50% there will be a 2 minute gap). X2Pro will put the original audio media at the start of this gap, with the in point aligned with the start of the gap. X2Pro will not translate the timemapping (i.e. it will not stretch or squash the media).

Try loading the XML back into Final Cut Pro and ensure that the timeline and media is the same as in the original project. If it is not, then FCP has not exported sufficient information for X2Pro to be able to recreate the project in an AAF.

From FCP X 10.0.4 all multi-cam clips are included in the XML. X2Pro will only include the angles used in the sequence. When X2Pro processes your project XML it will report that it needs specific event XMLs to complete the conversion. Save the specified Event XMLs into the same folder and run X2Pro again. X2Pro will include only the angles used in the project.

If you copy clips into the events folder or create optimised copies, but export the fcpxml before the copy/transcode has completed, the fcpxml will point to the original clips and not the new ones.

If you rename media in FCP X that name will be reflected in ProTools. However, if you use that media multiple times and rename it each time, then only one name can be used as there is only one piece of actual media.

In v2 of X2Pro if you have sub-roles and you use the Role order window to separate the sub-role from the root Role name, both will be placed at the position of the first mention of the role.

For example if you have:

1 - music

2 - effects

3 - music.Source

4 - dialog

Or:

1 - music.Source

2 - dialog

3 - music

4 - effects

All the music roles will appear on the first tracks in Pro Tools.

If you include media which is not 23.98 into a 23.98 project an incorrect AAF will be produced. This is partly caused by the FCPXML that FCP X produces and should be fixed in a new future of X2Pro.

This is a bug in the way ProTools interprets the AAF and cannot be fixed in X2Pro.

No, Media Composer is not officially supported by X2Pro and the AAF files that X2Pro produces may not be correctly interpretted by Media Composer.
