I've already had a few private emails asking about changes in FCP 7.0.
The docs should be updated in a few days. Here are the highlights.
Details will be in the new version of the doc:
■ Importing XML with timecode information retains the timecode
information, even if the clips created are reconnected to media later,
as long as the specified timecode data in the XML does not conflict
with the specified tracks in the media file. (If the media file
specifies a source timecode, XML should specify an Aux1 to avoid
conflict). Any specified sound timecode is now exported.
■ The behavior of addifnotfound has changed. Specifically, you can
now update the contents of a bin without having to specify every
object in the bin. (The change is - If the target component is found
and if the target component is a bin, the attributes of the bin are
ignored and the children of the bin are processed according to their
updatebehavior settings.)
■ Speed handling is improved to be more accurate. FCP now pins
bezier handles so that they cannot cause random, unexpected spikes in
the wrong direction.
■ The multiclip round-trip process is improved in terms of accuracy
of edits as well as effects, transition,
and marker handling.
■ Improved memory management and other fixes increase the stability
and speed of XML export and import.
New Apple Events that support the following functions:
■ Save a specified project file. (Save Project As)
■ Get a table of contents for a specified project. This is very
abbreviated information for bin, clips and sequences. Much faster than
getting full XML.
The sample with the header file should be out in a few days as well.
Version 5 of the interchange format was released with Final Cut Pro
7.0. New elements are:
■ subclipmasterid (under clip, clipitem, or generatoritem)
■ parameterspecifier (under parameter)
■ color (under marker)
■ anchoroffset (under keyframe)
