Here's my problem:
I try to develop some automatic functions to FCP (5.1.4) via Applescript and the XML Interchange Format:
I've got a folder full of images which should be placed one after another in the timeline. Every image should be in full screen mode or bigger. And the upper left corner of the scaled images should be equal to the upper left corner of the canvas.
I wrote some code in Applescript which creates the XML-projectfile. A repeat loop grabs the images, reads out the imagesize and calculates a scaling factor to fill the canvas. Then it inserts the appropriate XML-Code. Due to the scaling, some parts of the image overlap the canvas (sure!). So now I want the images to be automatically positioned in the upper left corner of the canvas.
Clancy, The easiest way to get that to happen is to put the anchor point at the upper left corner of the image. It should always be (-halfWidth, -halfHeight), I believe. So for DV footage, it would be (-360, -240). All scaling and rotation happens around the anchor point. So when you set the anchor point to the upper left corner and then scale, the upper left of the footage (or still) stays in the upper left of the canvas, and the scaling happens to the right and bottom.
