site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev@lists.apple.com Hi, I've been playing with FCP XML (version 1) files and had some questions: <timecode> <frame>18771</frame> <displayformat>DF</displayformat> <source>source</source> <reel> <name>My Tape</name> </reel> </timecode> <timecode> <string>00:10:37;26</string> <displayformat>DF</displayformat> <source>source</source> <reel> <name>Imported Files</name> </reel> </timecode> Thanks in advance for any insight, todd _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

When I define the following timecode for a clip and then drag the file into Final Cut Express HD 3.5 I am able to recapture the clip. When I use the second xml timecode chunk recapturing does not work. When I hit 'Capture Project..' the camcorder goes to the beginning of the tape and then I get an error about invalid timecode. Can I not use the <string>hh:mm:ss;ff</string> format and expect to be able to recapture? Is the value in <frame></frame> just the number of frames from the beginning of the tape? So 00:10:10;00 would be (10 * 29.97 * 60) + (10 * 29.97) = 18,2812? (assuming NTSC DV of course) This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
