Is there a tool (extension/free/native) that let you convert any sequence (with items) to code?

So lets say I filled my audio and video tracks with a bunch of clips and images and sounds and texts.

Now I want to transform ALL of this into a jsx code that important the same files used into the tracks, it shall contain:

-lines of code refering to every item (by their name),

-& the correct insert time (and also the in and out point).

-That for every audio and video track.

 

?

Essentially I would be able to delete my sequence content, load the code and it will be filled again with the same content I have just deleted.

The key thing is to be able to convert my insert times and names of files, into lines of codes that save those same insert times with same order and same track name (audio or video).

It is not possible for any programmatic tool to represent (and/or apply) all elements create-able and manageable by the PPro UI. [There isn't API around everything, therefore it's not possible to recreate everything.]

I think you just invented FCP XML. 🙂 Have you tried XML export? If so, what does it fail to do, based on your requested behavior?
