Thanks for this.

I've tested it but currently it's not replacing the data in the XML file - it writes a new file but that's it. Old file path present. :s

Code:
#!/bin/sh

oldFile=$1
newFile=${oldFile}.new    #just put a ".new" extension onto the oldFile

clear
echo --XML REWRITE--
echo oldfile is ${oldFile}
echo newfile is ${newFile}


sed 's@\(<pathurl>file:///Volumes/\)White%20Stage/1%20white%20capture/\(\(DE\|FR\|ES|GE\)_.*\.mov</pathurl>\)$@\1ctu/\3/4.\\ Final\\ Cut\\ Pro\\ Documents/Capture\\ Scratch/\2@' ${oldFile} > ${newFile}

#mv ${newFile} ${oldFile}

If I try this at the command line:

Code:
sed 's@\(<pathurl>file:///Volumes/\)White%20Stage/1%20white%20capture/\(\(DE\|FR\|ES|GE\)_.*\.mov</pathurl>\)$@\1ctu/\3/4.\\ Final\\ Cut\\ Pro\\ Documents/Capture\\ Scratch/\2@' DE_APPS_SLATE001_TK001-10h17m05s13-white.XML

It outputs this:

Code:
</xmeml></media></audio></track><enabled>TRUE</enabled>dex>1</clipindex>x>e></masterclipid>white%20capture/DE_APPS_SLATE001.mov</pathurl>


..which just further confuses me.


(I'm using OS X 10.6 Server by the way...)

qc2movie(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 					       qc2movie(1)

NAME

     qc2movie -- Quartz Composer export tool

SYNOPSIS

     qc2movie inCompositionPath|repositoryCompositionIdentifier outMoviePath width height duration [--parameterKey1 value1 ...]

DESCRIPTION

     qc2movie is a tool that exports a Quartz Composer composition into a QuickTime movie by adding a track containing this composition. It is the
     command line equivalent of exporting a composition for the Quartz Composer application to a QuickTime movie.

OPTIONS

     inCompositionPath|repositoryCompositionIdentifier
			   specifies which composition you want to export. Ar inCompositionPath is the path to the composition. Ar reposito-
			   ryCompositionIdentifier is the identifier of a composition which lies in the Quartz Composer Repository.

     outMoviePath	   specifies movie file path to which the composition will be exported to

     width		   defines the width of the export movie

     height		   defines the height of the export movie

     duration		   defines the length of the export movie

     [--parameterKey1 value1 ...]
			   passes composition specific parameters through the command line tool to the composition

EXAMPLES

     -To create a 10 second QuickTime movie containing a Quartz Composer track of the Particle System composition:
	      qc2movie "/Developer/Examples/Quartz Composer Compositions/Particle Systems/Particle System.qtz" ~/example.mov 640 480 10

     -To merge two video tracks (30s each) together using an image transition protocol abiding composition (Swing for example) in the Quartz
	      Composer Repository (using its identifier: /swing):
	      qc2movie /swing ~/merged-example.mov 640 480 60 --inputMoviePath1 ~/firstVideo.mov --inputMoviePath2 ~/secondVideo.mov --duration 2

     -To apply an image filter protocol abiding composition to the video track of a movie:
	      qc2movie /colorpencil ~/effect-example.mov 640 480 30 --input ~/Video.mov
