Improved FCP Recapture Workflow

You can now import a full Final Cut Pro timeline instantly, while referencing the native media through soft-import (without actually importing any of the media). See Relinking to File-based Media.

Smoke reads XML files exported from FCP and assembles a timeline accordingly. In this case, you are only transferring the metadata between FCP and Smoke, as contained in the XML file. Media used during the offline edit in FCP can be referenced directly. However, you may need to recapture the media from the source tapes or relink from files in a separate procedure.
