FCP XML Automation
I’m looking for a way to export FCP sequences to a Apple XML Interchange Format, Version 5. Using FCP 7.
I have 500 FCP projects with 2-30 sequences per project. For a total of 3000+ sequences.
I need a automation to open the project, locate all sequences within the project and export them into its project folder. Then, close the project, go to the next project and repeat.
I know I’m asking for a miracle, but I thought I would throw it out there.
Thanks,

So are you looking to hire someone to custom build this tool for you Antonio? Bouke’s around here somewhere, he’s a build to order kind of guy.
If you fancy having a go anyway (its not that hard) then all the details are here:
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/FinalCutPro_XML/AppleEvents/AppleEvents.htmlAnd here’s some sample code
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#samplecode/FinalCutPro_AppleEvents/Introduction/Intro.htmlkFCPOpenProjectFile will open your project
kFCPGetProjectTOC wil get your project’s “table of contents” (so you can target the sequences contained)
kFCPGetItemXML will create an XML of a targeted sequence
kFCPSaveAndCloseProjectFile will close the projectThe rest can all be handled in AppleScript
