You use the Final Cut Pro X app to create, edit, and produce high-quality video. With the Final Cut Pro X XML (FCPXML) format, you can transfer the details of your events and projects between Final Cut Pro X and third-party applications, devices, and media asset management tools that do not natively recognize Final Cut Pro X events or projects. FCPXML 1.6 requires Final Cut Pro X 10.3 or later.

"XML is an acronym that gets used a lot in editing and the transfer of media in the FCPX ecosystem. But what exactly is XML?, how is it used and how can you begin to understand the power of the plain text language? Workflow experts Philip Hodgetts and Greg Clarke start with the basics of XML and explain all."

"We extract heart rate and beat lengths from videos by measuring subtle head motion caused by the Newtonian reaction to the influx of blood at each beat. Our method tracks features on the head and performs principal component analysis (PCA) to decompose their trajectories into a set of component motions. It then chooses the component that best corresponds to heartbeats based on its temporal frequency spectrum. Finally, we analyze the motion projected to this component and identify peaks of the trajectories, which correspond to heartbeats. When evaluated on 18 subjects, our approach reported heart rates nearly identical to an electrocardiogram device. Additionally we were able to capture clinically relevant information about heart rate variability."
