The AI turned an email of stage times into a project for each set

He had an email with stage times and used AI to tidy it into a Stage, Day, Time, Artist list. The AI then changed the fcpxml file so Final Cut Pro had a new project for each set.

How it works

  1. Takes an email with stage times
  2. The AI tidies it into a Stage - Day - Time - Artist format
  3. The AI modifies an fcpxml file
  4. A new Final Cut Pro project exists for each set

Why it’s worth knowing

The trick is the project file itself. The AI read a plain email, cleaned up the times, and rewrote the fcpxml so each set opened as its own project.
