✅ – Directly reads FCPXML, avoiding problematic intermediate AAFs. This is its strongest use case.
If that's the right product, here’s a concise, balanced review based on real-world post-production audio workflows. Overall rating: ★★★★☆ (4.5/5)
❌ – Pricing starts at around $159 for a standard license; rentals available but add up.
Picture editors, re-recording mixers, and sound editors who need to move an editing timeline from NLEs (Final Cut Pro, Premiere, Avid) into Pro Tools with speed, accuracy, and metadata. What it does well (Pros) ✅ Preserves clip gains, fades, pan, and volume automation – Many native AAF imports into Pro Tools strip this. X2Pro retains far more audio information.
