The FXScript Reference

Joe,

I need to create a filter like TC Generator, but instead of the TC being displayed, I would like to be able to display the 'Reel Name' or 'Comments'.

Do you know how I can reference this logging info to turn it into text on the screen?

I need it for 1100 files to be presented in court.

Alternatively, I can translate (via XML) the name and comment fields (one at a time and from the FCP logging info) into the Reel field.
Then all I'd need is a simple bit of code demonstrating how the GetReelName function works in FXScript (so I can get this info across), and I could handle it from there. Code anyone? Thankyou.

Jacob,

I think the best way to do this is to export FCP-XML with the Reel/Name/Comment fields, match those fields with an XML tool like XPATH and replace via XSLT a <generatoritem id="Text"> with the appropriate text value in <effect><parameter><value>
