HomeMany users who use FCP X to handle their videos may encounter kinds of problem, want to export a section form a clip out of FCP X for use in another application like After Effects? Old users of this Clip Exporter 2 may familiar with the "Linked mode" which rebuilds some kind of "consolidated" timeline in After Effects using the exported and trimmed video files. Native RED file is also outstanding features to notice.
Born of Clip Exporter 2:
Since Clip Exporter 1 became unrealizable because Apple changed the XML structure over time. Bugs affected especially multicam clips which make the developer of this Clip Exporter, Thomas realized that parsing the XML from FCP X requires a new and better approach in order to stay future-proof.
Another big reason to push this development was retimed clips. To handle them is just make users headache for make some creative work.
Update to Clip Exporter 2.0.3:
New fetures as below:
1. Added support for the export of MXF files (requires Pro Video Formats 2.0.3
2. (Re-)adding support for Quicktime Reference movies
3. Adds full RED file support. In contrast to the MAS version, RED clips that consist of multiple r3d files can be exported now.
4. Adds options to use the legacy video exporter from version 1. In some rare cases AVFoundation fails to export drop frame ProRes source videos. In that case use the legacy exporter.
Two versions of Clip Export 2.0.3
Non-MAS version:
The developer of this Clip Exporter Thomas said he had added back the good old QTKit to the non MAS version, which was used in Clip Exporter 1. Although it's a deprecated framework it's currectly the only way to natively support MXF files and export Quicktime Ref movies in OS X 10.9. Before the Apple officially gives developers team the documented APIs, so they can use modern framework to accomplish the same task.

Thomas said this might sound strange but the non MAS version is authorized through the App Store. Therefore users must have purchased Clip Exporter 2 in Mac Apple Store first.
