Aescripts XML2AE v1.2.1 Free Download

Loads an editing XML/AAF, scans selected footage folders, matches timeline media against real scanned files, lets the user resolve ambiguous or missing media, and builds an After Effects composition that preserves editorial timing as closely as possible. It also tracks generated timelines so a later scan/match can update a duplicated comp without destroying the previous build.

XML2AE is intended for conform and VFX prep workflows where an edit arrives as FCP7 XML and the user needs a working After Effects comp.

Current behavior includes:

• Parse FCP7 xml sequence data and AAF via the bundled helper.
• Scan user-selected footage folders recursively.
• Match media from the scanned catalog by filename/stem, reel, timecode, duration, and strict fallback rules; embedded XML/AAF source paths are not used as match criteria.
• Detect missing media and ambiguous matches.
• Show a conflict picker with candidate thumbnails and metadata.
• Import selected media into After Effects.
• Build a video-only AE comp with layer timing, trims, disabled-state handling, slates, diagnostics, and optional reference video.
