It's needless to say that I don't share FinalCut Pro X skepticism. It's a great tool. Though, I must admit outputting audio for post is kind of a nightmare. "Roles" are nice, but this is not what my sound mixer expects from a pro oriented software. Until 10.0.3 there was the clumsy Automatic Duck Pro Export available. Not so convincing. Luckily, X2Pro (69.99$ App Store) is here. Many talked about it, fewer experienced it. We did it for a recent series and I must admit it works ( will bug with auditions, and multicam though ) ! But there are a few limitations. NO SOFTWARE OTHER THAN PRO-TOOLS WILL WORK. Some will import your session, other not, but none will understand the file properly. We tried Nuendo, Logic, Vegas, and even Soundtrack (Embedded files are mute ). So if your sound buddy does not own a Pro Tool license, I suggest he gets one... Until further update from Marquis Software.
UPDATE : Chris from X2Pro send me a Nuendo workaround... Thank you guys !
