Hi
I there any programatic way to create final cut pro XML?
In the XML I want to have videos as if they are part of a final cut pro project.
I want to use it as part of a process where eventually I'm going to use this XML to be imported for both final cut XML and adobe premiere.
Thanks!
XML
Extensible Markup Language is a markup language and file format for storing, transmitting, and reconstructing arbitrary data. It defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. Wikipedia
So each developer, app can/will have own unique formats.
Apple for example uses a document type ozml for (current) Motion files, fcpxml for FCP, a xmeml for FCP legacy (FC Studio) - latter can be used by PremierePro despite being an Apple format. PremierePro itself uses a XML document type I can't recall this moment - etc.
So there is no "XML type" which can be used across apps and app versions.
If you want to use XML with PPro and FCP you need apps to convert the different XML types in both directions or you need to write a XSLT.
have a look here

Have a look at the FCPXML docs. Apple Developer Documentation
You can export an XML file of an FCP project from the File menu. The XML will work in FCP, and Intelligent Assistance has a utility that can convert it into a format that’s useable in Premiere.
