I am trying to import my iMovie library into final cut and it won't. The error message I keep receiving is..
DTD validation failed, element asset content does not follow the DTD, expecting media-re, metadata got element asset content does not follow the DTD
I get a list of multiple error message that say this same thing
I deleted just about my entire iMovie library and it is still giving me this message. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!
Mac Studio
Yes of course so I open iMovie, then open a project, then highlight iMovie library, then go to file, then select send iMovie library to final cut.
It will let me import some of my projects individually however, all my raw original media that I imported from the original iMovie project does not come over. The time line will but not all the media if that makes sense.
You omitted to mention important details like the versions of macOS, FCP and iMovie.
The error suggests to me that your iMovie may be an older version than that of FCP.
Try updating iMovie. The current versions of iMovie and FCP are 10.3.3 and 10.6.3, respectively.
Yes that worked, thank you! I sent the event first then sent the movie and everything is there, timeline and original media!
I wish I could talk to you on the phone lol.
I wonder now if I delete the imovie project since I imported it to FCP will that mess anything up in FCP?
What exactly are you doing to import your iMovie library? You can send projects or events from iMovie to FCP. Is that what you're doing? Could you give a step by step of your process?
“all my raw original media that I imported from the original iMovie project does not come over.”
That’s what the send event function is for. The media collected in the event gets sent to FCP.
Ok so I guess I have to do both then?
I also still don't understand what I am getting the error?
I have a brand new Mac studio all my software is on current versions
OS is monterey 12.4
Does sending the events work for you?
It's really hard to tell what might be doing it. It might be something as small as a corrupted font or some media format that iMovie allows and FCP doesn't.
The project is your edited timeline. If you don’t need the edit any more you can delete it. Or just leave it there and make a new project. Projects themselves are relatively small.
