Finalcut Pro still exports messy xml

When I export xml from Finalcut and import it to Logic, nothing is in the right place plus there is doubles of clips all over the place. 10 years ago someone found a hack to import the xml file to daVinci Resolve first, make another xml export from Resolve and import that xml to Logic. Everything fine. After 10 years Apple did not fix this mess! Still people are finding hacks to solve this. How is that possible?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.3

Final Cut Pro - Importing XML File Hi there! Has anyone run into this error message while trying to import an XML file into Final Cut Pro? Wondering if I imported this incorrectly or if I need to ask for the original file to be resent?

FCP crashes immediately while importing XML Hi, (FCP 10.6.4 on a Mac Pro (Late 2019) with 96 GB RAM and 2 x AMD Radeon Pro W5700X 16 GB etc...) XML files, produced in Adobe Premiere 22.6.2 and converted via SendToX, cause FCP crashes if you select saving the .fcpxml file and try to import in FCP by selecting Import > XML. If you select in SendToX "Send to FCP" option and FCP asks where to put this file, you become a file but not as it has to be. The crashes are immediately, means: just after clicking, without any delay more than 1/10 sec. This is the first time ever, I am having such a problem. I have to carry ca. 90 projects from Premiere to FCP and this is a disaster situation for me, so I need your help please. (You can be sure that nothing wrong is in my system or hardware etc..)

Try using one of the alternative (earlier) XMLs.
