Sir , the export is not giving me that option but only 11, 12, 13 version


FCP version 10.1 is more than a decade old. It is unlikely that you can transfer using xml. Are you sure you meant to write 10.1, and not something else, like 10.8.1?


Can you give us some context? Why these disparate versions?

What does using FCP 10.1 has to do with color grading in Resolve?

Sit it is 10.6 version . XML is opening now but doesn’t link clips . Showing missing files. Guide plz


Ok, so now we are progressing. The clips being unlinked was to be expected. The xml only carries the structure of the project, or library, not the actual media. You need to copy the media files to the machine that is running 10.6, and you need to relink.


How to do it depends on how the media is accessed in the original library (inside or outside the library), and whether it is in the internal or an external drive. In case the media is in an external drive, and outside the library, you may only have to attach that drive to the second mac.
