Non-Linear Editors (NLEs)

Overview of XML

This section applies to Final Cut Pro 5.1 and later.

Using the MR-HD100 Export function creates a pair of associated files: video clip and metadata document file that is in the Apple XML Interchange Format (AXIF). Final Cut supports documents in the Final Cut Pro XML Interchange Format which is a variation of AXIF and is able to open, view, parse and edit the MR-HD100 xml metadata document.

By importing video clips and their MR-HD100 metadata xml documents into Final Cut it is possible to improve post-production workflow.

Production companies often use the metadata feature to track all film or video shots during production. Exporting this database information to interchange format documents permits the quick creation of video dailies from film, HD, or SD footage. The interchange format document is edited together with MR-HD100 footage into a sequence before each shot.

An Editor may need to change all medium shots of a scene to close up's. Using metadata and xml, the post editor can quickly find and replace clips with other clips.
