  Trouble importing XML file for subtitles

  Posted by Zach Clark on August 18, 2008 at 4:17 pm

  Hello, I’m having issues importing an XML file for subtitle purposes. Upon bringing the XML nto final cut, I get the following error:

  ERROR: Critical errors aborted the processing an XML document. Would you like to see a log of those errors now?

  The log looks like this:

  Mon, Aug 18, 2008, 12:02 PM – Errors Found Importing test.xml
  sequence(SwiftSubtitles) – : Unknown element encountered.( line 1 )
  sequence:media:video:track:clipitem(test0001.png) – : Unknown element encountered.( line 1 )
  sequence:media:video:track:clipitem(test0001.png) – : Unknown element encountered.( line 1 )
  sequence:media:video:track:clipitem:file(test0001.png) – : Unknown element encountered.( line 1 )
  sequence:media:video:track:clipitem:file:media:video(test0001.png) – : Unknown element encountered.( line 1 )
  sequence:media:video:track:clipitem:file:media:video(test0001.png) – : Unknown element encountered.( line 1 )
  : Required element duration not found for definition

  The file was created by our subtitle guy. Looking at the file in text edit, I can see all the file paths for the .pngs are routed to his My Documents folder on his PC. I tried changing the file path to:

  file:Users/zach/Desktop/test/test0001.png

  but that didn’t seem to do the trick.

  Am I entering in the file path info incorrectly? Once I know the correct file path, is it easy enough to just tell our subtitler to re-enter that on his end, or do I have to re-enter this manually for every single subtitle?

  Thanks so much!
