fcpxml

fcpxml Contain top-level elements in a document.

Overview

The root element in an FCPXML document is fcpxml, which can contain the following elements:

• A resources element, that contains descriptions of media assets and other resources.
• An optional import-options element, that controls how Final Cut Pro imports the FCPXML document.
• One of the following optional elements that describe how to organize and use media assets: a library element that contains a list of event elements; a series of event elements that contain story elements and project elements; or a combination of story elements and <project> elements.

Note Starting in FCPXML 1.9, the elements that describe how to organize and use media assets are optional. The only required element in the fcpxml root element is the resources element.
