Re: FCPX input metadata mapping

Vlearly FCPx also supports other quicktime specific metadata for movies. but there is an iXML implementation chart for FCP7 at: http://www.ixml.info/compatible.html http://www.ixml.info/FCP_ixml_implementation.pdf It's possible or even likely that FCPX shares the same implementation if anyone from Apple is reading this, please update the iXML implementation chart and submit it for update on the iXML specification website. > Message: 1 > Date: Sun, 11 Nov 2012 12:18:03 -0600 > From: Alex Wolfe <alex(a)elklight.com> > To: pro-apps-dev(a)lists.apple.com > Subject: FCPX input metadata mapping > Message-ID: > <CAG2GG4Oc=z_6Gbghy9hZ80b8L0T=9WpjMmk2AeCsirxF00GsxQ(a)mail.gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" > > Is there a list (exhaustive or otherwise) that indicates specifically what > metadata from what sources FCPX will map into it's internal representation? > > I.e.

FCP X Thunderbolt
by George Toledo 11 Nov '12

11 Nov '12

There's some functionality in final cut pro x that makes the output available via thunderbolt apparently (haven't tested yet because I don't have thunderbolt on my usual machine). Does anyone know of any apple sample code or documentation on adding similar capability to a given app? I've done some searching on the web, but haven't turned up anything pertinent yet.

I've found that if you stuff the iXML BWF metadata in a wav file that FCPX will map the /BWFXML/scene, reel, take, notes information from the iXML chunk.

You might also replace the nil in 'bookmarkDataIsStale:nil' with the reference to a BOOL, like so: BOOL staleness = NO; NSURL *sourceURL = [NSURL URLByResolvingBookmarkData:decodedBookmark options:NSURLBookmarkResolutionWithSecurityScope relativeToURL:XMLFileURL bookmarkDataIsStale:&staleness error:&error]; And don't forget to enclose the code actually accessing the URL with [sourceURL startAccessingSecurityScopedResource] amd [sourceURL stopAccessingSecurityScopedResource].

Customize the decoding function that the fcpxml documentation refers to (see Security Transforms Basics).

Re: String input parameter for FCP X?
by Darrin Cardani 05 Nov '12

Christoph, You should be able to right-click on the name and get the parameter menu. From there you can publish the parameter. Let me know if you have any trouble with that!
