Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

FCPX XML Composer

work in progress

Convert a json sequence into an FCPX XML.

Inspired by EDL Composer on npm it uses the same schema to describe the sequence.

Part of the bbc/digital-paper-edit project by BBC News Labs

Setup

cd, clone the repo, npm install

Usage - development

see example-usage.js for how to requrie and use the module.

To run the example do node example-usage.js

When importing the .fcpxml sequence in FCPX the media is going to be offline, to re-link the media go to Files -> Relink Files or see see Re-link offline clips in FCPX, for more details.

Usage - production

npm install @bbc/fcpx-xml-composer

require or import in your code and see example usage for more details

System Architecture

A function that loop over the json sequence and using string interpolation creates an equivalent FCPX XML. With no dependencies.

Used the sequence form the docs - Listing 1-1 A library with a simple project as FCPXML as a starting point.

FCPX seems particularly picky about specifying the correct frame rate for the clips in the sequence.

Relinked files must have the same media type, same frame rate, and similar audio channels as the original files, and must be long enough to cover all the clips that reference the files.

DTD errors FCPX reference

A Known limitation is that the EDL composer sequence only supports one track, as the EDL format is not multi track. FCPX sequence could allow multiple tracks. But for the current use case with digital-paper-edit one track is sufficient. PRs might be considered to extend this module to multi track support.
