FCP XML Automated Text replacement
We would like to automate our commercial sequence creation process for our 70 second traffic files. Currently we have Neilson watermarked audio files named with ISCI, spot name and 800#. From which we name the FCP sequence, add the ISCI and 800# to the slate and the 800# accordingly throughout the spot as needed.
Now is there a XML script that can do this part for us? Read the audio files names use an existing sequence, duplicate and rename accordingly, then using the audio name or a text file update the slate and 800# in the commercial throughout as needed? we are open to replacing the 800# via a Motion template.
I contacted Anreas Kiel at Sherico Film Tools back in December and again about a month a ago. Little response and feedback. Expressed my frustrations, waiting for reply. not holding my breath.
Now I would like begin to explore other options.
Any suggestions short of beginning to learn XML? I know it’s and option but coding is NOT my forte.
