• Avid Media Composer

  Using Film Scribe for the first time.

  Please help.
  I have cut a sequence on Avid Mediacomposer.
  The sound mixer wants an XML file of the sequence, rather than an edl.

  I’ve never used this before.

  I have successfully ‘opened’ the sequence. I can select the video, audio 1-6 etc and all the options.
  But the ‘save as’ is grey and I can’t save it.

  Please can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong?

  Thankyou in advance,
  Dan.

  Did you do a preview first? Then save as. Also, althugh it can generate an XML, that does not mean that a system supports it. Where is this XML going once generated?

  Thanks for the post Michael.
  I have just previewed it first and it has allowed me to ‘save as’
  It does however come out as a simple text file, is that right?

  It is for a pro tools audio mix.

  Cheers,
  Dan.

  Yes, XML is a language with a defined format represented as Text. But Pro Tools does not support XML, it does do OMF and AAF. I am curious to know why there is a request for the XML. Pro Tools does support iXML which is the defined specification of the file based production audio recorders.
