Could you post an XML where things like described are happening? Is there a problem with with the XML that FCP 6 produces if log notes contain accented characters? It looks like the XML is specifying the wrong encoding. The header says the file is UTF-8, but it actually seems to be MacRoman. For example, the UTF8 for i-diaresis (as in naive) ought to be 0xC3 0xAF and yet I'm getting 0xCC 0xF8, which throws up parse errors when I try to read the file. Manually editing the file produced by Final Cut in a text editor and changing the first line to <?xml version="1.0" encoding="MacRoman"?> fixes the problem. Has anyone else encountered this? I'm not sure if it's a bug in Final Cut or a problem in the way I'm parsing the file. -- Rolf Howarth Square Box Systems Ltd Warwick, UK. http://www.squarebox.co.uk _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

To be honest - even if I sound stupid or look like an idiot - I still got not an exact idea how to retrieve clip in/out with (variable) time remap. Below an example from a BBC production. This example uses a variable speed exported as XML V2 (from 5.1.4 as stated by the people from BBC who created it) … <in>8916</in> <out>9159</out> … It seems to be pretty simple here since I can search for <when> == 8916 and <when> == 9159 or the <speedkfin> and <speedkfout> and get the value from there. Unfortunately there is no suggestion in the docs how to handle the 10840.7 -- going back to FCP it could be 10839 or 10840 or 10841. Same even with an integer as an out frame let's say 10840 - back to FCP it can be 10840 or 10839. Is there some documentation about the scheme (how to handle) available? ( ;-) Again it would be nice with XML V4 to have an node which tells me how number formats are handled -- on my german system the 10840.7 would be 10840,7 which can cause some collisions when working international, especially if I want to go backwards (but I've to check that for more details)). Another example from Australia (same FCP setup as above - as stated by the user). Here the editor decided to remap and then to reset the things -- an entry still exists in the XML without <when> - I can still look at <speed> = 100 and forget, but hmmmm :). Also the entry <parameter><parameterid>mappedduration</ parameterid><name>mappedduration</name><value><timecode> … looks more "rich" as in the previous example and looks some kind of senseless to me as the time base is 0 - I can't find any docs about that to handle. … <in>4108</in> <out>4128</out> … <effect> <name>Time Remap</name> <effectid>timeremap</effectid> <effectcategory>motion</effectcategory> <effecttype>motion</effecttype> <mediatype>video</mediatype> <parameter> <parameterid>variablespeed</parameterid> <name>variablespeed</name> <valuemin>0</valuemin> <valuemax>1</valuemax> <value>0</value> </parameter> <parameter> <parameterid>mappedduration</parameterid> <name>mappedduration</name> <value> <timecode> <rate> <timebase>0</timebase> </rate> <string>0</string> <frame>0</frame> <displayformat>NDF</displayformat> </timecode> </value> </parameter> <parameter> <parameterid>speed</parameterid> <name>speed</name> <valuemin>-100000</valuemin> <valuemax>100000</valuemax> <value>100</value> </parameter> <parameter> <parameterid>reverse</parameterid> <name>reverse</name> <value>FALSE</value> </parameter> <parameter> <parameterid>frameblending</parameterid> <name>frameblending</name> <value>TRUE</value> </parameter> </effect> Here an example for variable speed from the same sequence from Australia: In FCP the source in is shown as "3197" and out as "3172". With that clip above I currently have no idea how extract these values from the above data. This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com
