  FCP XML in Excel?

  Posted by Jeff Pereira on January 4, 2006 at 3:27 pm

  Hello, I was wondering if it’s possible to open up a FCP XML file in Excel, if anyone has any tips that would be great. I’ve been search the web and haven’t been able to find anything specific.

  As far as I know, you can’t open an XML in Excel, but you can indeed export a “Batch List” from FCP and open it in Excel. I don’t know if that helps you since I don’t know your reason for wanting to open the XML in Excel, but I used Batch Lists on a movie I just finished in order to print out log sheets and clip information for the continuity people and the director, and it worked great.

  Good luck,
  Joni

  If you open an FCP XML in any text editor you’ll see why it can’t be opened in Excel. It looks just like a web page looks when you view it “as source”
