84.4.4.2 STANDARD > APPLE FCP XML

Export Scope
The APPLE FCP XML export allows exporting multiple XML files containing data related to asset linked files. Exported files will be named as the video file but with an .XML extension. It's worth mentioning that this format is a widely used standard for international content delivery.
Export parameters
This export allows the following parameters to be set and then [saved]:

5062_Export

•Day to export: Specify the date from which data to be exported will be retrieved.
Parameters                   
•Filename: For each asset one file will be exported, it will be named in the following format: [asset-ID].XML
•Export path: Indicate the path on which the exported file will be placed.
•Parameters of asset's linked file to be exported: Select the codec (e.g. MXF) and cloud-device (e.g. \\mserver\video\hires\) related to the files to be exported.
NB: In case the asset doesn't have a linked file with these characteristics, no file will be exported and a warning message will be returned.
•Select assets to be exported: Open the asset search engine to allow selecting the asset(s) for which their linked files data will be exported.
NB: Multiple assets can be selected holding the CTRL and SHIFT keys while marking assets; selections are confirmed pressing the [Enter] key.
Launch the export
Once all parameters have been correctly set, just press the <Export> button to launch the export operation.
