I know about the things you mentioned below (I think I wrote the only MultiClipCreator app for FCP). Here the things are a bit different as the customer wants to see the timeline with scenes sorted by angle from a previous unsorted sequence xml - so obviously I have to create some workaround like adding the angle to "commenta" or "commentb" field. But in any case it would be nice to have the "angle" somehow included into the "logginginfo" as this nowadays is an important info. Also a nice feature would be if the "angle" in the logging window would be separated by "-" instead of "_". Hey Andreas! <defaultangle> is used when a multiclip is created to indicate angle 1, 2, 3, 4 etc that you want this clip to be put at. So it is exists only on a <clip> and not on <clipitem>. This in no way determines the active angle at any given time, just which order the clips are put into the multiclip as angles. It sounds like you want to specify which angle is used in each instance of a multiclip that is used multiple times in a timeline. For that, you want to use <activevideoangle> and <activeaudioangle> flags as described on page 22 of the XML documentation (http:// developer.apple.com/appleapplications/download/FinalCutPro_XML.pdf) I got an app which does analyze a sequence and allows to re-order, re-name (etc.) clip items. One thing where I stuck is to apply a "defaultangle" as there are several clips of the same scene with different angles laid down to the sequence. I can apply a "defaultangle" to a "clip" but not to a "clipitem" (as written in the manual and as it works in practice). Is there any reason for that which I don't understand? Do I have to create a "single clip multiclip item" ? This email sent to hju@apple.com This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
