Open FCPXML files in your browser
The XML Final Cut Pro exports for colorists, sound editors and other apps. See its timeline right here, with every connected clip, title and transition and the media it needs. Nothing leaves your device.
Or drop it anywhere on this page
What you'll see
Your project opens as its timeline: the tracks down the left, and their clips along it with the pictures and waves of the media dropped with it, under its markers.
- Every track and clip • Zoom from the whole edit to a frame
- Media • A tab of every file it uses, missing ones marked
- Titles and transitions • Their words and lengths on the clips
- Export • Save the clips and the media list as CSV
About FCPXML
FCPXML is how Final Cut Pro hands a project to other apps, written by File, Export XML: its formats and the assets it uses with their file paths, then each project’s storyline, the clips one after another with their connected clips, titles and audio on lanes above and below, the transitions, the markers and the keywords. Times are fractions of a second, so nothing is rounded to a frame.
Filepeek lays it out as Final Cut does: the primary storyline in the middle, each lane above and below as a track of its own, titles with their words, and markers along the top. Drop the XML with its media, or the folder it’s in, and each clip shows its pictures and waves.
Final Cut Pro 10.6 on exports an .fcpxmld bundle, a folder with Info.fcpxml inside, which is the file to open. The older XML of Final Cut Pro 7, which Premiere and Resolve still write, opens as XML in the data viewer.

Questions
How do I open an FCPXML file without Final Cut Pro?
Drop it on this page or press Peek an FCPXML. It opens as its timeline in your browser, on Windows, a Mac, an iPhone or Android, with nothing to install.
How do I open an .fcpxmld?
It’s a folder. Open it, then drop the Info.fcpxml inside here, with the media if you have it.
Why do my clips show their names instead of pictures?
FCPXML only keeps the media’s paths. Drop the XML together with its media and each clip finds its file by its name.
Where are the connected clips?
Each lane is a track of its own: lanes above the storyline over it, numbered +1, +2 and on, and lanes below under it, numbered -1 and on, as FCPXML numbers them.
Can DaVinci Resolve open FCPXML?
Yes, Resolve imports and exports it, on Windows and Linux too, so it’s the usual way to take a Final Cut edit to another app.
Why does Premiere’s Final Cut XML open as XML?
That’s Final Cut Pro 7’s older format, a different XML. It opens in the data viewer as a tree.
