I'm trying to export raw imovie 09 clips into FCE but an error pops up saying, 'XML Translation was aborted due to a critical error.' I think it's a simple formatting problem but I'm still new to macs and even newer to video editing in FCE. So help would be much appreciated!

The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.
Therefore to clarify:
- You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
- This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
- You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
- You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

"raw iMovie clips" - in terms of clips that you imported into iMovie, or edited subclips?
If it's raw clips you want, they are (AFAIK) stored one of iMovies folders - so if you open finder, click on your home folder, open movies you will *probably* see a folder called iMovie Projects and one called iMovie Events - I think it stores the raw video in the Events folder - look in there first and then you should be able to pull that footage into FCE.
I am saying "I think" and "probably" because the Mac I'm on ATM only has iMovie '08 and I usually use FCS instead of iMovie.
