Hello all,
I am wondering about the 'scope' of the id attribute in XML documents.
The documentation says about ids:
The id attribute lets you share information between certain "peer"
elements—elements that are not
in an element/subelement relationship with each other. If an element
provides an id attribute, Final Cut Pro registers this element in a
reference table during import and translation. Then, during
subsequent translation, other elements can reference this registered
information.
For example, the clip information for a video track in a sequence
may be identical to the clip information in an audio track in the
same sequence. Rather than repeating this information for both
tracks, you can encode it once and then reference the information
using the id attribute.
My question is if I should expect to ever find id attributes in a
clipitem in a sequence that refers to something outside of the
sequence, like in another sequence, or in separate clips within the
same XML export from FCP?
The use of the term 'peer' seems to imply that the answer to my
question should be no. Is it, really?
Thanks,
Rainer _______________________________________________
