FCPXML Reference
FCPXML Reference Create documents that describe the data your app or workflow extension exchanges with Final Cut Pro.
Overview
Use FCPXML to describe the media, metadata, and other items users send and receive between your app and Final Cut Pro.
FCPXML uses a basic XML document structure and specially defined elements, to describe the media assets, projects, and metadata users send to Final Cut Pro, and the rendered media, timeline sequences, editing decisions, and other data your app receives from Final Cut Pro.
This reference guide provides information about using FCPXML, including:
- Document structure
- Elements
- Resources
Note FCPXML 1.9 requires Final Cut Pro 10.4.9 or later. It describes certain, but not all, aspects of projects and events useful for other applications. But, it’s not a substitute for a native Final Cut Pro project and event data organized in a library bundle.
