FCP X XML Feature (BETA)
Please note this feature is currently a BETA Feature.
With this feature, Calibrated{Q} Import Assist can create a FCP X XML file for importing MXF files (in conjunction with
Calibrated{Q} MXF Import) into FCP X. The FCP X XML file can be imported into FCP X (v10.0.9 or greater) and with it
the MXF files and their associated metadata will be imported into FCP X.
Left Button (Search Glass)
– This is to search for MXF files to be added into the FCP X XML file.
When this button is pressed, Calibrated{Q} Import Assist will pop-up a window enabling you to search for MXF files. You
can select multiple MXF files in your search, as well as search more than once.
Right Button (Green Light)
– This is to create the FCP X XML file from the MXF files loaded.
In ‘Save To HardDrive’ Mode - when this button is pressed, Calibrated{Q} Import Assist will pop-up a window prompting
where to save the XML file and what the XML file should be named. Calibrated{Q} Import Assist will then process and add
all of the MXF data into the XML file. You can then import the XML file into FCP X. In this mode, you have the option of
using the XML file name as the Event Name.
In ‘Send To FCP X’ Mode - when this button is pressed, Calibrated{Q} Import Assist will then process and add all of the
MXF into a XML file in temporary location on your harddrive and then send it to FCP X. FCP X should already be open.
All MXF files will be added into a new Event in FCP X.
