Hi Adam.
I think you were on track in hoping to avoid the extra workflow
indirection. I'd recommend writing an FxPlug Generator to accomplish
that. You can create a custom UI view to let the user edit text. When
you install the FxPlug SDK, you'll see a new Xcode template called
FxPlug Generator that will help you get started.

Ya I figured I could just export the XML from Final Cut, write a
parser to pull out the text I needed. I was trying to do it all
while in FCP.
Now I am new to Plugin development, so in my mind my workflow would
be:
FCP: Export XML
Cocoa: open XML and parse accordingly, as far as what I want to do.
Cocoa: Write new XML
FCP import new XML
It may be that I can tell FCP to export XML in the background, and
open that via stdout, etc etc etc... I have no idea yet how FCP
talks, what hooks are available, etc etc.. I am assuming FxPlug
will enlighten me as to what is available.
I want to be able to grab all of the Generated Text in the timeline
so I can modify it. XML is definitely one way, I shall crack open
the ol' SDK and see what she's got.
