Have you ever had a bunch of [[Quicktime]] movies or image files that you needed to lay out in Final Cut Pro? Maybe youÂ’re making an element tape for delivery to a client, or prepping a bunch of lower thirds and titles for your program? Dale Bradshaw found himself doing a lot of this repetitive work. For example, each image would follow a certain set of rules, an element should be 5 seconds duration with a minimum of 5 seconds between each element. If you are like him, you'd grab all of your elements throw them in a timeline and do the [[carpal tunnel]] inducing dance of the up/down arrows. There had to be an easier way.
Well, using [[XML]], there really is an easier way. Element Drop is a super simple drag and drop application that lays out a Final Cut timeline of Quicktime movies or images. Drag and drop a bunch of elements on the application and Final Cut Pro is launched and each element is layed out in a timeline based on user preferences. Chapter Markers can be included for super easy approval DVDÂ’s
