Everything loads, then I double click the sequence, and there is nothing there. I tried the latest script posted above. Please let me know if you and dale come up with a solution. Thanks. George,

Sounds like AE is having a problem importing the clips to the timeline. I'll take a look at the xml you sent and see if I can see what's up. Best, Dale Hey Georgie,

Try running this version and see what happens. http://www.creative-workflow-hacks.com/downloads/db_FCPToAE.jsx Best, Dale Hey Georgie,

The process I followed is as follows, let me know if I´ve missed something. 1. Right click on the sequence in Final Cut and export as XML, save. 2. Open your clever FCPtoAE script program, open the XML from that program 3. The files appear, click export to After Effects, saving a jsx. file 4. In after effects file/run scripts and locate the jsx file and select. 5. The files appear but without the sequence..?? When u have a mo could u let me know if I´ve got it right, I´m using AFX CS4 and Premier v 6 Many Thanks Georgie Hi Dale,

That could cause issues if it was being mishandled somewhere. Have you tried the Popcorn Island guys stuff to see it might work a little better for how your project is set up? http://www.popcornisland.com/after-effects/final-cut-2-after-effects/ You can also send your XML stuff as a bug report, but I'm in the middle of a big project right now and I'm not going to be able to look at it right away. Best of luck, Dale Hey Selah,
