Hi all-
I'm well-versed in XML and other web stuff, but this is my first foray into the FCP workflow world. We have an internal web-based app for creating clips, adding notes, and marking favorites. I'm trying to import that data into FCP X.
Ideally, I'd like to create a new Event (or update an existing one) with clips, favorites, keywords, etc. I can actually get that part working. However, I have to do it by using <asset> tags, which then means that each time I run an import it creates a new subfolder in the Final Cut Events folder, and duplicates the source media. When I use <media> tags and try to reference the uid of an existing Event and/or assets, the import runs successfully but I only get the data, and then instead of footage it's blank and I see several icons that seem to suggest it's trying (unsuccessfully) to reference other media:
Here's the relevant bits of my XML. The uid attribute values are the ones generated from FCPX:
<resources>
<projectRef id="r4" name="GUAPO FAVORITES" uid="330E5FD3-9F06-457B-9BDA-9D3C72A79C0E" />
<format id="r1" name="FFVideoFormat1080p30" frameDuration="100/3000s" width="1920" height="1080"/>
<media id="r2" name="IMG_2073" uid="5E3F564B97C24A03E83BCBE53BCD5DDD" projectRef="r4"/>
</resources>
...
<clip name="Yum!" duration="4s" start="20s" format="r1">
<video ref="r2" name="IMG_2073 - v1" duration="43s">
...
Can anybody point me in the direction of getting this working?
