FCPXML Bundle Reference

FCPXML Bundle Reference

FCPXML Bundle Reference Keep an FCPXML document and any files it references together in a bundle.

Overview

When a user shares data from Final Cut Pro with your app, Final Cut Pro exports the required files and packages them together in a bundle. The bundle format makes it easy for an app to keep FCPXML and referenced files together. FCPXML Bundles have a .fcpxmld extension.

The simplest FCPXML bundle contains an Info.fcpxml file at the root level of the bundle. This file contains a structured description of the exported data. You use the file to retrieve information about the exported data and locate other relevant files in the bundle. The format of the Info.fcpxml file is defined in the Document Type Definition (DTD).

If your app already supports .fcpxml files, add support for the new bundle format to ensure full compatibility with exports from Final Cut Pro.

Note FCPXML bundle support is available for Document Type Definition (DTD) 1.10 and later.
