Overview of XML
This section applies to Final Cut Pro 5.1 and later.
Using the MR-HD100 Export function creates a pair of associated
files: video clip and metadata document file that is in the Apple
XML Interchange Format (AXIF). Final Cut supports documents in
the Final Cut Pro XML Interchange Format which is a variation of
AXIF and is able to open, view, parse and edit the MR-HD100 xml
metadata document.
By importing video clips and their MR-HD100 metadata xml
documents into Final Cut it is possible to improve post-production
workflow.
• Production companies often use the metadata feature to track
all film or video shots during production. Exporting this
database information to interchange format documents
permits the quick creation of video dailies from film, HD, or
SD footage. The interchange format document is edited
together with MR-HD100 footage into a sequence before each
shot.
• An Editor may need to change all medium shots of a scene to
close up's. Using metadata and xml, the post editor can
quickly find and replace clips with other clips.
