FAQPage Schema
How to install fcpxml-mcp-server?โ–ผ

Run `npx skills add DareDev256/fcpxml-mcp-server --all -g -y` in your terminal to install everything globally.

How to edit Final Cut Pro timelines with plain English?โ–ผ

Export XML from Final Cut Pro, then ask your agent to analyze, trim, mark, or fix the timeline. Import the modified XML back into FCP, or push it directly into the running app.

Can it remove silence and filler words automatically?โ–ผ

Yes. It detects silence using ffmpeg on the real audio and can transcribe locally with Whisper to cut filler words, always saving to a new file so your original stays safe.

Does it work without Final Cut Pro installed?โ–ผ

Yes. Pure XML mode runs anywhere with Python 3.10+, while live push-to-FCP features require macOS with Final Cut Pro installed.

Can it export timelines to DaVinci Resolve or Premiere?โ–ผ

Yes. It exports FCPXML v1.9 for DaVinci Resolve and FCP7 XMEML for Premiere and other legacy editing software.
