    Hey all,

    Does someone know if it’s possible to create favorites on a clip from a list of TC ins & outs someone typed in a spreadsheet?
    Is there any XML tool doing just that?

    Thanks !

    R.

    I have not heard of an app to do this, but it’s a great idea.

    I was actually looking just yesterday for something like this. I have someone who is working on a documentary piece and he logged his footage by hand to paper. I am thinking getting that into a spreadsheet, then FCPX somehow. There are various ways of going from FCPX XML to CSV like Producer’s Best Friend, but I want to go the other way.

    I found Shot Notes X which seems to do what we want. There’s also Lumberjack which, while primarily designed for on-set logging, can also be used for post-production logging.

    I haven’t tried either yet, but that’s the next step. Unfortunately Shot Notes X is only through the Mac App Store, so there’s no trial available. Lumberjack does have a trial option.

    Email the folks at Shot Notes X and ask if they have a trial. They’re very responsive and may be able to set one up for you, or at least let you know if their application can do what you want.

    Shot Notes X.

    Forgot about that one. Thanks for the reminder.

    I think you’d have to format the Excel doc in a specific way, but that shouldn’t be too hard. Much easier than typing it all in by hand again.
