How to convert FCPXML to Shot List

Export a shot list from a Final Cut Pro FCPXML online. Every clip on every storyline and lane becomes a row with record and source timecode at the project rate, media name and full path, the transition into and out of it, its speed, its media's own frame rate and size, the audio channels it plays, its volume, its keyword and the compound clip it came from, with markers as their own rows. Open it in Excel, Numbers or Sheets.

  1. Add your FCPXML

    Drag in the .fcpxml or .fcpxmld bundle exported from Final Cut Pro.

  2. Convert to CSV

    Press Convert. Each project becomes a block of rows, V lanes first then A lanes, in timeline order.

  3. Download your result

    Download the converted file instantly, or a single ZIP archive when you convert a batch of files.

Final Cut Pro FCPXML and CSV shot list, explained

Conform, VFX pulls, music cue sheets and QC all want the cut as a spreadsheet, and Final Cut Pro only offers XML. This converter reads the FCPXML into the same timeline model the site uses for Premiere, Resolve and Avid projects and writes the same shot list columns, so a mixed-application job produces comparable sheets.

One row per clip, every project and lane, record and source timecode at the project rate, plus transitions, speed changes, media rates, channels, levels, keywords and marker rows. Read straight from the FCPXML. It is free to start, encrypted in transit, and converts a whole batch into one ZIP — sign in when you need large, high-volume jobs.

FCPXML to Shot List FAQ

What is in each row?

Project name, lane (V1, A1…), event number, clip name, media file name and full path, record in and out, source in and out, duration in frames and timecode, frame rate, transition in and out, speed percent, source frame rate and size, audio channels, volume in dB, keyword, compound clip name, effects not carried, and for marker rows the marker comment.

How are compound clips listed?

Flattened: the clips inside the compound are listed at their timeline positions with the compound's name in the nest column.

Does it need Final Cut Pro?

No. Files are converted in your browser and never uploaded.

Questions, answered

Where are my files processed?

In your browser. The converter runs on your own machine and the file never leaves it; the site only records that a conversion happened. CutConvert never sees, stores, sells or shares your media.

Is it free? Do I need an account?

Small, everyday batches are free to convert. For large or high-volume jobs you'll create an account and upgrade, which keeps the free tier fast for everyone.

What do I get when I convert multiple files?

Drop several files and you get back one ZIP archive containing every converted file. Convert a single file and you get that one file back, no ZIP.

Which formats are supported?

Timelines: Premiere .prproj, DaVinci Resolve .drp (as exported, or gzip- or Zstandard-wrapped), Avid AAF and Final Cut FCPXML in; FCP7 XML, FCPXML, Resolve .drp, CMX 3600 EDL and shot-list CSV out. A Premiere or Final Cut edit travels with its transitions, markers, titles, opacity and scale keyframes, clip volume, speed changes, nested sequences, bins, audio channel routing and each file's own frame rate, wherever the output has a place for them; an Avid AAF brings its transitions, markers, clip levels with their keyframes, muted tracks, nested stacks and each clip's own rate. Captions and transcripts, read and written: SRT, WebVTT, SBV, ASS, TTML, DFXP, iTT, SCC, MCC (a second 608 channel comes out as its own file), EBU-STL, Avid caption TXT, CapCut drafts of any size, timed CSV, Word, plain text, Whisper, WhisperX, AssemblyAI, Deepgram, Rev.ai and CapCut JSON, Premiere transcript JSON and .prtranscript, Rev, Otter and Word-style transcripts, with italics, colour, placement and speakers kept where the output can hold them and measured word timing into Premiere. EDLs become event CSV reports. The capability table lists what every pair keeps.

Can I pick a frame rate?

Yes. For EDL and Avid caption output you can choose 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97, or 30 fps, or let CutConvert auto-detect it from your source.
