Transferring Metadata to Final Cut Pro X

For the transfer of metadata via Final Cut Pro XML files (.fcpxml) the clip metadata is mapped accordingly and depending on the user-defined options as you can see in figure 1.

Content (figure 1 #1)

• Scene, shot and take name can be added to the name of the clip in Final Cut Pro X
• Various color information can also be transmitted. Properties as camera index, whitepoint, colorspace, lookname, ASA and label from Silverstack are mapped to keywords in Final Cut Pro X
• Single-frame cue points from Silverstack are mapped to markers in Final Cut Pro X
• Multi-frame cue points from Silverstack are mapped to a clip range marked with a keyword in Final Cut Pro X
• Clips marked as flagged in Silverstack are marked entirely as favorite in Final Cut Pro X.
• Clips with rating “★” (one star) in Silverstack are marked as rejected in Final Cut Pro X.

Color Processing (figure 1 #2-4)

By transferring your clips to Final Cut Pro X you can apply different color plugins in this step:

• for Cinestyle clips: DSLR Log2Video Plugin (#2)
• for SLog clips: SLog2Video Plugin (#3)
• for clips in LogC: apply Alexa log or looks (#4)

You can either immediately open the selected clips in Final Cut Pro X or save them first as Final Cut Pro XML files.
