XML/ALE/XCE Import and Export
XML/ALE/XCE Import and Export
Avid Liquid offers a standard interface to exchange Project data in the XML and ALE formats. Clip meta-
data can be exchanged using the ClipExchange (XCE) format.
You can find these functions in
È Menu bar > File > Import> (or Export to File >) XML/ALE...
Although these files also have the extension *.ale, Avid MediaLog import is not the same procedure as
importing ALE Projects; see “Reading in Avid Media Log Logging Lists” on page 199.
ALE export or import is not possible with HD based material (clips, Sequences).
ALE Export can be used to create shot lists or batch lists from a Project or certain Racks of a Project (see
“Use ALE Export to Create Shotlists and Batchlists” on page 180).
Information about ALE, XML and XCE
Avid Liquid has always employed a special ALE format to exchange Project data including their corre-
sponding media data. Nowadays ALE, which was developed as a simple logging data exchange format, is
no longer sufficient to enable up-to-date and efficient data exchange. Therefore Avid Liquid supports,
besides legacy ALE, a new XML-based Project data exchange format.
Export and import of individual clips is handled by means of XCE, ClipExchange. Both file types, XML
and XCE can be opened and viewed in a simple text editor or internet browser (append the XML suffix to
an XCE file: like in clipexport.xce.xml). The format standard specifications are available on request from
Avid Technology, Inc. (please contact Support).
