2.0.0
FCPX Marker Tool version 2 has now been released, and was completely rewritten and redesigned to allow for new features to be added much more easily.
Notable Features:
- Users can now select from a variety of output formats, including YouTube and DVD Studio Pro, as well as displaying as Frames or Fractional Timecode (HH:MM:SS.MILLISECONDS)
- Added the ability to export marker list to a .txt file or simply print to screen.
- Handles FCPXML files that contain multiple timelines and clips, and presents user with directory tree for item selection.
- Improvements on handling multiple layers and frame rates in one timeline.
- Improvements on parsing FCPX clip types, including Auditions, Compound Clips, Sync Clips, Multicams, Gaps, and more.
Future release plans:
- The next few releases will bring further improvements, like passing arguments directly to
fcpx-marker-tool
. - User will eventually be able to
import fcpx_marker_tool
for use in their own scripts, and the API will be documented. - The module parsers and saves a lot of useful information about the Project, Clips, and Timelines, that will be useful for more than just dealing with markers. While it is technically possible to
import fcpx_marker_tool
as a package now, the current API is subject to change.
