Playlist Format: .ircp

From IRIDAS Online Documentation

Overview

The IRIDAS Composite (IRCP) file format is the native XML-based format used by FrameCycler and SpeedGrade to save timelines.

The current specification for the file format can be downloaded here.

Minimal IRCP Requirements

Almost all IRCP tags are optional and can be omitted when generating IRCP files externally through scripting.

A minimal IRCP file contains one <general> section with version number and Base FPS value and one timeline section.

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

<IRIDASComposition>

<general>
  <version>"3"</version>
  <basefps>"24"</basefps>
</general>

The timeline usually has one track, with one or more shots in it.

<timeline>
  <track>

    <shot>
        <basefolder>"A:\First\"</basefolder>
        <sequence>"First_#.dpx"</sequence>
    </shot>

    <shot>
        <basefolder>"A:\Second\"</basefolder>
        <sequence>"Second_#.dpx"</sequence>
    </shot>

    <shot>
        <basefolder>"A:\Third\"</basefolder>
        <sequence>"Second_#.tga"</sequence>
    </shot>

  </track>
</timeline>

</IRIDASComposition>

For each shot, it is only necessary to specify the base folder and the file name or sequence ID. Unless you want to position a clip at a specific point in the timeline or trim the in and out points, you do not need to specify a position and length in the shot section.The shots are automatically queued.
