Export markers to XML

I create videos for online purposes. Often the videos need chapters which are clickable within the video player so the viewer can skip to certain parts of the video and even can create chapter playlists. These chapters are extracted from a XML file.
In previous versions of Final Cut Pro it was possible to add sequence markers while i was editing, name them and add comments to them. When i was finished editing i exported the video and after that I exported a XML file of the same sequence. In our online system these xml files are linked to the video and you have clickable chapters with name and description in the video player.
Would this also work in FCP X as sequences dont exist anymore and markers can only be set on clip level? Also I cant find if it is possible to extend markers, which is essential to creating the chapters. And the last question: will markers be included in an XML export from Final Cut Pro X?

Chapters can't be set in FCP. Extended markers were never needed in fcp7 for chapters.
Markers can be added in Compressor, which can import tab-delineated texts files with timecode as marker lists and attach them to a file.
I don't know the answer to the last one. You could try it on a one clip project and see if they appear in the XML file.

Export markers from final cut pro x to dvdsp as chapters

FCP 7 supports exporting movie with markers which then can be chapters in DVDSP.
Great.
But how can I achieve the same end using FCP X, my editing tool of choice?

DVDSP has an "import markers . . ." menu option.
Does FCP X have an export markers feature?
Might there be an .xml feature we can use?
Can we expect this capability to arrive so I can create chapter markers in my FCP project and not have to repeat the chapter creation process as double work in DVDSP?

Export Markers w/ SMPTE Timecode (subtitling-related)

I am about to scream with frustration.
I have a nice, long sequence on the timeline that needs to be subtitled. I've spent the last two days setting markers, extending them until the speaker's finished speaking, and transcribed what they said into the comments field. These markers, in turn, were going to be exported (as an XML file), I'd do a little bit of `grep`ping and BBediting, and I'd end up with an STL subtitle file that I could feed to DVD Studio Pro (see Chapter 13, "Creating Subtitles", on p.456 of DVD Studio Pro's manual).
That was the idea. The problem is that although I have the markers' start and end times in the exported XML file, Final Cut Pro exported the markers as +frame numbers+ - not SMPTE drop-frame timecode. This I did not expect, and so far have not found a workaround.
Is there is any way (other than the XML file) to export plain-vanilla markers with their comments, start times, and end times in drop-frame timecode? And if not, can someone please tell me of some way to convert these frame numbers into drop-frame timecode?
(And while I'm at it, "boo" and "hiss" to Cupertino: If you're gonna have chapter markers and compression markers, why not subtitle markers? Or, heaven forbid, a subtitle track within FCP??)

First: I know this isn't going to help at the moment but you should always test your workflow before embarking on a long complicated process.
Guilty as charged. That said, exporting the markers and writing STLs is still a better workflow than doing subtitles manually in DVDSP.
Second: Do a google for "timecode to frame number converter" like I just did and you'll get a bunch of hits. At least a few within the first few look like they will solve your problem (at least allowing you to do a quick conversion from frame number to timecode).
I always search before asking. Almost all of the hits were timecode calculators, not unit converters. All the programs that were potential candidates turned out to be Windoze apps or iPhone chotchkies. I even took a look at some of the QuickTime sample code and headers just in case there was a "QTFrameNumberToSMPTE"-like function in the API that I could commandeer. No dice.
In the meantime I'm butchering the XML file into a tab-delimited file and using a lookup table in Excel to return the last five digits of the timecode (HH:M:__;_). It works, but on the whole it's a bit more tedious than I would have hoped.

Use XML.sendAndLoad.
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00002879.html
You will need a server script to receive the XML structure
and it depends on
the server scripting language how you obtain that data. Then
you can either
populate a database or write to a static file or even email
the XML data
received from Flash.
For a basic example, I have two links I use for students in
my Flash
courses:

Advice on ADDT Export Recordset as XML Tutorial

Hello all,
I recently had a situation where I needed to use ADDT's "Export Recordset as XML" behavior. However, the "Export Recordset as XML" behavior creates a php page that generates the XML when the php script is run and the resulting XML is published to the browser.
Unfortunately, I needed the php page to not publish to the browser, but to write the generated XML to a real XML file. I looked for help in the forums, but I was unable to find any information regarding this and it seemed some people had been looking for this ability.
I was able to figure out how to use ADDT's "Export Recordset as XML" to write the XML to a file when the ADDT created Export XML php page is run.
I want to share a brief description on how I did this. However, I had to modify the ADDT file "XMLExport.class.php" to get this to work. The modifications are are very simple and easy. You just have to comment out a few lines and change an echo to a return in the "XMLExport.class.php" file.
Before I take the time to write this up, I wanted to be sure it's ok to explain in these forums how to edit ADDT files. I know the license agreement allows me to modify the code for my own use. But does the license agreement allow me tell other's how to modify the code?
At the top of the Adobe "XMLExport.class.php" page you see this:
Adobe permits you to use, modify, and distribute this file in accordance with the terms of the Adobe license agreement accompanying it.
Rather than try and decipher a license agreement, I thought someone, probably Gunter :), might be able to let me know before I go to the trouble.
Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,
But does the license agreement allow me tell other's how to modify the code?
As this snenario isn´t explicitely mentioned respectively prohibited, I don´t see any problem at all with telling folks how to modify an ADDT "includes" file, though I´m not sure about the "distribution" aspect, as - to my understanding - an original or modified ADDT file can´t be offered for download or sent to others per email or whatever else might qualify as "distribution".
My suggestion for remaining on the safe side :: just write a tutorial and tell folks how to modify whatever file, because merely providing an information about a modification certainly doesn´t tangent the "use, modify, and distribute" definition of the license at all -- however, it´s the reader of your tutorial who´s having to decide whether the suggested modification is in accordance with the terms of the Adobe license agreement, though this shouldn´t be a problem as well, as they´re going to modify the code for their own use :-)

Export Recordset As XML w/ session variable

I'm trying to use the Export Recordset As XML function. It works great for recordsets without any variables (such as a session variable), but as soon as a add a variable to the record set, I get a "Header already Sent!" Error.
The prior (non-adobe) version had a "variable" selection on the Advanced tab which seems to be gone now.
How do I add a session variable to the recordset and have it play nice with Export Recordset As XML? I need an XML doc that only includes a specific users information. The session variable is made when the user logs in to see the data.

Exporting InfoArea as XML by Transport Connection

Hi to everyone, i hope somebody can help me.
I tried to export InfoAreas as XML via the Export Feature within the Transport Connection.
Unfortunately when I import the generated XML File, in a new bw system - the InfoAreas will not be generated.
The Import message says only Object successfully saved and the xml file looks correct to me.
In the source system Objects are collected in automatic mode and grouped data flow before and after.
I heard that exporting InfoAreas is a known bug in SAP BW, is this truw?
TIA

Maxl to export/import partition xml

I have searched thru the tech ref at all the Maxl commands and I'm not seeing what I'm looking for.
Is there a way to automate thru maxl (or esscmd) the exporting and importing of the xml file for partitions?
TIA,
Robert

Is that the only option?
I've already seen the result of
display partition appname.dbname advanced
and it doesn't seem very friendly as an input file. Looks like much parsing and chopping would need to be done in order to get what I need as input to
create or replace partition command.
So the answer to my question about maxl for exporting/importing the xml version of partition is "no"?

Export EDL or XML for seq with speed change

Hi,
I am trying to export an EDL or XML of a 30 sec sequence of 10 clips. 5 of them have speed change. Basic speed change, not variable. They are UC 10bit from a DigiBeta captured with a Kona 2.
The problem is that the exported EDL or XML doesn't get the right clips in and out points for recapture on other systems. Any clue?

As long as there are speedchanges in the sequence, FCP will screw the EDL timecodes for source clip in/out and position in the timeline....and it's way off.
And the problem is not with Flame, if I open the XML or EDL in TextEdit, I see the TC mistakes. We do that all the time with the Avid MC and it works very well. Even if the speed changes wouldn't go through, I would expect clips coordonates and in/out to be ok.

Export Recordest to XML help, please

I'm trying to display my database info using Spry in CS4. In
CS3 there was a utility called "Export Recordest to XML" that was
part of the toolkit, but was also available as a registration
incentive. Is this functionality now built into CS4?
I guess what I' m really looking for is a tutorial on how to
bring data in directly from the database to the webpage. I've seen
the video of how to do it from a static HTML page, but that doesn't
help here.
I've also seen this page (
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/utils/query2xml.html)
but it doesn't offer any practical info for how to actually
implement this into a dreamweaver/spry page.
What is frustrating (aside from my own lack of knowledge) is
that one of the original raison d'être for Dreamweaver and its
ancestors, was the creation of dynamic sites from databases by
people who were somewhat programming challenged.
Maybe it is all there and I'm just missing it, but I would
truly appreciate any help.

Once you have your page that creates the xml, just use that
link in spry
as your datasource. Ignore the fact that it doesn't end in
xml, that
doesn't matter, as the output content type is xml, so it will
be treated
like xml.

Anyone using PDDocExportUserProperties for exporting PDF to XML

Hi,
Anyone using PDDocExportUserProperties for exporting PDF to XML. I am using Adobe PDFL 9.0 to do the same. However, do not find any sample programs or tutorials.
Please anyone have any samples, do provide.

Where did you find this method? It's not listed in the PDFL API Reference for 8.1 or 9.

Export Markers Naming Options

Audition CS6
Windows 7 64-bit
I would love to see some more robust naming options when exporting markers to files. The addition of prefix and postfix fields comes in handy, but it would be fantastic if I could create my own separator instead of being stuck with the underscore. I frequently have to batch out my files, then open a second program to batch rename all of my files to simply remove or replace the underscores.
As a bit of an after-thought. It would also be wonderful to be able to modify the default name of my markers -- or to be able to find/replace across all marker names to for instance remove the word "Marker" and only leave the digits behind.
Cheers.

I regularly record IVR files that need to be exported into thousands of precisely-named wav files drawn from a table supplied by my client. In Sound Forge I can export the regions to a .csv, copy-past the new names in in Excel, import the same region list & export all 1000-plus renamed files in the time it took me to write this.
I need the option to export a marker list or playlist to a text file or table, in Audition. It surely can't be that difficult.

Access - can't export schema to xml

omwb 10.1.0.4
windows 2000 work station.
can't export schema to xml.
waited for an hour and the omwb2000.mde just hung there with no response.
while with 10.1.0.2 it only takes several seconds

hi hilary,
I've noticed that another instance of access was up.
But it's not minimized.
And I've also noticed that omwb created three temp tables in the source mdb.
( all starting with '_'. can't remember the names. maybe acctables, acccolumns etc )
And the source schema data was stored in the temp tables above.
Then the access instance opening source mdb seems hanging somewhere waiting for something.
And the omwb2000.mde seems to be waiting for the other instance to end.
I don't know whether the source mdb has any security settings.
( omwb doc doesn't tell me the way to check that)
But I did the import which omwb doc said will eliminate secure setting problem.
