Importing FCPXML Data

Importing FCPXML Data Import data from Final Cut Pro to your app by using FCPXML.

Overview

FCPXML is a specialized format that uses XML elements to describe data that users send from Final Cut Pro to your app. Using FCPXML documents, your app can receive data from Final Cut Pro and then further process that data.

When your users choose to export XML from Final Cut Pro, they can select the XML version, either Current or Previous, for the export. When a user selects the Current version (FCPXML 1.10), Final Cut Pro exports a .fcpxmld bundle and an Info.fcpxml document located at the root of the bundle directory. Your app must support the .fcpxmld and .fcpxml document types. When a user selects the Previous version (FCPXML 1.9), Final Cut Pro exports a single .fcpxml document.
