Interacting with the Final Cut Pro Timeline

Interacting with the Final Cut Pro Timeline Extend your workflows beyond media exchange by enabling a workflow extension to interact with the Final Cut Pro timeline.

Overview

When you want to extend your workflows to allow users to interact with the Final Cut Pro timeline, use the interface provided by the Workflow Extension SDK. This interface enables a workflow extension to access a limited set of information about a sequence currently opened in the Final Cut Pro timeline. The APIs implement methods that a workflow extension can call to access proxy instances of the Final Cut Pro timeline objects, such as current sequence or playhead position. By enabling an extension to interact with the Final Cut Pro timeline, you can receive updates to a project opened in the Final Cut Pro timeline and use this information to make necessary edits in a workflow extension project.
