XML Generation: merge of ClipInfo and Playlist Contents
If you tick this check box, the XML file for the playlist definition and the metadata
information will be merged into a single XML file.
CSV contents file generation
If you tick this check box, the playlist definition file will be generated in the .CSV format,
and not the usual XML format.
In this case, the setting for merging XML files cannot be taken into account if it is
checked:
• The clip and playlist metadata are stored in an XML file.
• The playlist definition is saved in a CSV file.
CSV Settings
If you have ticked the CSV contents file generation check box, you need to specify:
• which playlist information you want to include in the CSV file
• which separator character you want to use to separate the data strings.
You can do this by clicking the CSV Settings button.
3.12.4 Creating and Maintaining a Backup Playlist
in XFile
Introduction
Creating a playlist of backup clips in XFile will allow you to regroup several backup clips
into a single entity. This will create two XML files in a dedicated folder:
• an XML file containing the playlist definition, i.e. an EDL file with the TC IN and TC
OUT of each clips of the playlist.
This has the extension
<.xml> after the playlist name.
• an XML file containing the metadata of the playlist and included clips.
This has the extension
<.contents.xml> after the playlist name.
The settings for creating and exporting the playlist are defined in the Setup menu
available from the Setup button in the PL Info area.
