You can also customize the display of clips in the Timeline by changing the clip appearance

on page 140.
Use roles to export media stems
When you export your work, you can use roles to define the details of your output media files.
This process is often used when delivering files to match broadcast specifications or when
handing off media stems for mixing or post-production.
You can export roles in a combined, multitrack QuickTime file, or as separate audio or video
files. During the export process you can assign mono, stereo, or surround output for your
audio channels.
For more information, see
on page 412.
Use XML to transfer projects and events
Final Cut Pro can import and export XML (Extensible Markup Language) files. You can use XML
documents (plain ASCII text files with tagged elements) to transfer the details of your libraries,
events, projects, and clips between Final Cut Pro and third-party applications, devices, and media
asset management tools that do not recognize Final Cut Pro documents and files.
The XML import and export options are described in detail in the Final Cut Pro XML developer
documentation. For more information, visit the Apple Applications page at the Apple Developer
website a

Import XML into Final Cut Pro
You can generate XML files with other applications and then import them into Final Cut Pro.
When you import an XML file, Final Cut Pro generates clips, events, projects, and a library,
depending on the contents of the XML file.
1
In Final Cut Pro, choose File > Import > XML.
2
Navigate to the XML file you want to import, and click Import.
Final Cut Pro processes the XML and generates the corresponding clips, events, projects, and
library, depending on the contents of the XML file.
