I am wondering about the 'scope' of the id attribute in XML documents. The documentation says about ids: The id attribute lets you share information between certain "peer" elements—elements that are not in an element/subelement relationship with each other. If an element provides an id attribute, Final Cut Pro registers this element in a reference table during import and translation. Then, during subsequent translation, other elements can reference this registered information. For example, the clip information for a video track in a sequence may be identical to the clip information in an audio track in the same sequence. Rather than repeating this information for both tracks, you can encode it once and then reference the information using the id attribute. My question is if I should expect to ever find id attributes in a clipitem in a sequence that refers to something outside of the sequence, like in another sequence, or in separate clips within the same XML export from FCP? The use of the term 'peer' seems to imply that the answer to my question should be no. Is it, really? This email sent to hju@apple.com This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
