At a glance

Apple Final Cut Pro FCPXML format reference. An agent skill from MadAppGang/claude-code.

Works in 3 steps: Validate XML syntax → Check file paths exist → Verify format consistency
Generating FCP projects
SKILL.md covers FCPXML Version Compatibility, Basic Project Structure, Key Elements Reference and Complete Project Template, plus 4 more sections
Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Final Cut Pro is an agent skill from MadAppGang/claude-code. Apple Final Cut Pro FCPXML format reference. Covers project structure, timeline creation, clip references, effects, and transitions. Use when generating FCP projects or understanding FCPXML structure.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Media & Creative. The repository describes itself as: claude code plugins marketplace. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Generating FCP projects
Understanding FCPXML structure

Example prompts

“/final-cut-pro”

Requirements

Python 3

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Validate XML syntax
Check file paths exist
Verify format consistency

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6097ad4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are xml, bash and python).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Final Cut Pro loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 238 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~2.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Key Elements Reference

Format Definition

Define the timeline format (resolution, frame rate):

xml

<!-- 1080p @ 24fps -->
<format id="r1" name="FFVideoFormat1080p24"
        frameDuration="1/24s" width="1920" height="1080"/>

<!-- 4K @ 30fps -->
<format id="r2" name="FFVideoFormat4KUHD30p"
        frameDuration="1001/30000s" width="3840" height="2160"/>

<!-- 1080p @ 29.97fps (NTSC) -->
<format id="r3" name="FFVideoFormat1080p2997"
        frameDuration="1001/30000s" width="1920" height="1080"/>

Asset Definition

Reference media files:

xml

<asset id="a1" name="Interview_001"
       src="file://{ABSOLUTE_PATH}/interview.mov"
       start="0s" duration="600s"
       hasVideo="1" hasAudio="1"
       format="r1">
    <media-rep kind="original-media"
               src="file://{ABSOLUTE_PATH}/interview.mov"/>
</asset>

Clip Placement on Timeline

xml

<spine>
    <!-- First clip: starts at 0, uses full duration -->
    <asset-clip name="Interview Opening"
                ref="a1"
                offset="0s"
                start="0s"
                duration="30s"/>

    <!-- Second clip: starts after first (offset=30s) -->
    <asset-clip name="B-Roll"
                ref="a2"
                offset="30s"
                start="10s"
                duration="15s"/>

    <!-- Third clip: starts at 45s -->
    <asset-clip name="Interview Conclusion"
                ref="a1"
                offset="45s"
                start="120s"
                duration="20s"/>

offset - Position on timeline (where clip starts in sequence)
start - In-point within source media
duration - How long the clip plays

Gap (Empty Space)

xml

<spine>
    <asset-clip ref="a1" offset="0s" duration="30s"/>

Timing Calculations

Frame Duration Reference

Frame Rate	frameDuration
24 fps	1/24s
25 fps	1/25s
30 fps	1/30s
29.97 fps	1001/30000s
23.976 fps	1001/24000s
60 fps	1/60s

Time Format

FCPXML uses rational time notation:

Seconds: 30s (30 seconds)
Frames: 24/24s (24 frames at 24fps = 1 second)
Fractional: 1001/30000s (for NTSC timing)

python

def frames_to_fcpxml_time(frames, fps=24):
    """Convert frame count to FCPXML time string."""
    if fps == 29.97:
        return f"{frames * 1001}/30000s"
    elif fps == 23.976:
        return f"{frames * 1001}/24000s"
    else:
        return f"{frames}/{fps}s"

def seconds_to_fcpxml_time(seconds):
    """Convert seconds to FCPXML time string."""
    return f"{seconds}s"

Validation

Before importing FCPXML:

Validate XML syntax:

bash

xmllint --noout project.fcpxml

Check file paths exist:

bash

grep -oP 'src="file://[^"]+' project.fcpxml | while read src; do
  path="${src#src=\"file://}"
  [[ -f "$path" ]] || echo "Missing: $path"
done

Verify format consistency: All assets should reference existing format definitions.
