readXML Description

Allows you to view Final Cut Pro XMLs. readXML is a very easy to use application that allows you to load any kind of XML from FCP, but only clips or sequences will be parsed dependent upon the user's choice what to process.So importing a project will list all clips, sequences and bins and allows to select one of the clips (or sequences) at the root level or inside any bin.readXML interface, as often with internal apps, is not a really nice one and requires some understanding, phantasy and quite a big screen.You can take either a "Marker" or a "Clip" approach to parse the XML. In both cases the app works the same way, except that when using markers only those clips will be considered, which contains markers.When parsing a FCP XML nearly all values of the XML could be brought into a data base, but to speed up things you can ignore filters and source file settings.Using the filter and source file parsing can take a reasonable amount of time to parse the XML.Filters will be compared and grouped during the import process; this can take a really long time, if motion filter settings are included.The same thing is done with source files even though it's not that time consuming as with the filters, but source files maybe "hidden" in multi-clip settings and the parser has to "search back" in the XML file.After the import process has finished the user gets quite a good overview for the sequence (including clips and markers) or clip with the markers, which has been imported.The main interface shows four tables: Clips, Markers, Filters and Source Files.Beside the main interface there are three additional windows: Find, Movie and Text.Some preferences allow to set up the appearance of the table views and the columns which should be exported (from the marker table). Requirements: · Apple PowerMac G4 (the faster the better). · 512 MB RAM (more = better), enough space for virtual memory · FCP 4.1 or later
