as a Final Cut Pro XML file

Export a project as a Final Cut Pro XML file

The Final Cut Pro XML format is used to import and export audio data between Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro. The Final Cut Pro XML format supports automation data.

Export the current project as a Final Cut Pro XML file

  1. Choose File > Export > Project to Final Cut Pro XML.

  2. In the Export dialog, type a name for the exported file and browse to a location to save it.

  3. To include the video file in the exported XML, select the “Include video in export” checkbox.

  4. To export the file as a Final Cut compound clip, select the “Export as Final Cut Compound Clip” checkbox.

  5. Click Save.

Note: When you export to Final Cut Pro XML, audio software instrument tracks are bounced to audio files, but MIDI tracks are ignored. Bouncing will automatically switch to real-time mode, if necessary (such as when an I/O or External Instrument plug-in is used).
