Hi,
I tend to share Rainer's point of view.
There should be something like "updatebehaviour" available even for
more things in the XML - like file names (this somehow is already in
FCS 1 and 2), also for "scene/take/note/tape" in BWF handling as
another example. The original data could be kept with metadata or
something like an "item history" so you in worst case can revert to
original state - if you keep XML backups.
An example: I did an "auto-renamer" for clips in FCP using some text
files the user supplies or an XML using scene, take, note and angle.
When the XML is imported in FCP everything works fine, but if the
clips got offline it will be hell.
Same with any audio.
I know this will/would cost a lot of development time.

Hi Helena,
for full control, on both existing and non-existing TC tracks,
there should be a flag that you can turn on and off and that
decides if file or XML wins. This could work like the
updatebehaviour flag for QT metadata. In the latter case the actual
Quicktime files should be changed/overwritten.
I don't see the use or benefit of a situation where you have one TC
assigned to a clip in the QT file, and another one in FCP. That is
bound to become a problem later on in people's workflows. In other
words, I would like to see an optional behaviour where the TC in
the Quicktime does get overwritten.
That flag should off course default to off, or file wins, and maybe
there should be a warning in the user interface upon import.
My 2 cents,
Rainer
P.S. What should I expect to see when I import clips with all 3
timecodes and have them batch capatured? Will the aux TCs from the
XML migrate into the Quicktime file?
