asset-clip

asset-clip

asset-clip References a single media asset.

Overview

Use an asset-clip element as a shorthand for a clip when it references the entire set of media components in a single media.

Specify the timing of the edit through the Timing Attributes. The start and duration attributes of the asset-clip element apply to all media components in the asset.

Use the audio-role and video-role attributes to specify the main role. Generate subroles using the main role name, followed by a numerical suffix. For example, dialogue.dialogue-1, dialogue.dialogue-2, and so on.

Just as you do with the clip element, you can also use a asset-clip element as an immediate child element of an event element to represent a browser clip. In this case, use the Timeline Attributes to specify its format, etc.

Note FCPXML 1.6 added the asset-clip element to add both the audio and video media components from a media file as a clip.
