#
Airlift
Airlift provides and automated method to upload & merge *.csv or *.json data files with attachments to Airtable database.
Some of the core features include :
- Automated uploading of
.csvor.jsondata to Airtable - Ability to update and auto-create new entries for single select field and multiple select field
- No subscription of third party platform required
- Ability to upload attachments via build-in Dropbox client
- Ability to upload attachments to multiple attachment columns
- Uses long-lived refresh token for Dropbox client
If you are a FCP user or developer who is trying to send or upload data to Airtable, you can use our tool!

CSV2Notion Neo
CSV2Notion Neo provides an advance method to upload & merge *.csv files to Notion.
Some of the core features include :
- Actually merge CSV with existing database rows (not just add new ones), first column will be used as a key
- Manually set column types instead of relying on autodetection
- Automatically link or create new entries in relation columns based on their value
- Upload files into "Files & media" column
- Upload image file used for cover or icon
If you are a FCP user or developer who is trying to send or upload data to Notion, you can use our tool!

DAWFileKit
A Swift library for reading and writing common import/export file formats between popular DAW and video editing applications with the ability to convert between formats.
† Full read/write support for Cubase Track Archive XML files is implemented for tracks with absolute timebase, as well as tracks with musical timebase where the tempo track uses only 'Jump' tempo events and there are no 'Ramp' tempo events
‡ Research is needed for Logic Pro X to determine what file formats are common and the viability of their implementation

FxCore
FxCore is a node-based compositing engine inspired by Quartz Composer and designed for the demanding workloads of visual effects hosted by video applications.
FxCore powers the most advanced products you see in FxFactory, providing Metal GPU acceleration to our plugins running in Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, After Effects and Motion.
#
FxKit
An open-source (MIT License) Swift implementation of FxPlug plugins for Final Cut Pro and Apple Motion.

MarkersExtractor (CLI & Library)
MarkersExtractor is Marker metadata extraction and conversion tool for Final Cut Pro. It is both a CLI Tool and an API Library.
Some of the core features include :
- Accurately extract Markers from FCP's FCPXML/FCPXMLD
- Ability to batch extract and render stills or animated GIFs based on each marker's timecode
- Ability to batch burn-in labels of each marker's metadata onto the stills or animated GIFs

OpenTimelineIO
OpenTimelineIO is an interchange format and API for editorial cut information. OTIO contains information about the order and length of cuts and references to external media. It is not however, a container format for media.
For integration with applications, the core OTIO library is implemented in C++ and provides an in-memory data model, as well as library functions for interpreting, manipulating, and serializing that data model. Within the core is a dependency-less library for dealing strictly with time, opentime.
The project also supports an official python binding, which is intended to be an idiomatic and ergonomic binding for python developers. The python binding includes a plugin system which supports a number of different types of plugins, most notably adapters, which can be used to read and write legacy formats into the OTIO data model.

Pipeline Neo
Pipeline Neo is a modern Swift framework and spiritual successor to the original Pipeline, designed for professional video editing workflows. Built with Swift 6.0 and targeting macOS 12+, it provides a comprehensive API for parsing, creating, and manipulating FCPXML files with advanced timecode operations, async/await patterns, and robust error handling.
The framework seamlessly integrates with TimecodeKit to deliver type-safe operations for professional video editing environments. Pipeline Neo is currently in experimental development, focusing on core functionality while providing a foundation for future expansion. The entire codebase has been developed and refined using AI-assisted development practices.
#
AI Agent Development Collaboration
Pipeline Neo is refactored and developed using AI agents. Vigneswaran Rajkumar welcomes developers interested in maintaining or contributing to the project through similar AI-assisted development approaches. Those passionate about AI-driven development workflows and looking to collaborate on expanding Pipeline Neo's capabilities are encouraged to reach out.
Developers with experience in AI agent development and FCPXML processing are invited to contact Vigneswaran Rajkumar for repository access and collaboration on advancing the framework's functionality.
Important
Pipeline Neo has yet to be extensively tested in production environments, real-world workflows, or application integration. This library serves as a modernised foundation for AI-assisted development and experimentation with FCPXML processing capabilities.

SubtitleKit
Package for creating, modifying, and managing subtitle files, such as SubRip (.srt).
Supported formats
#
T
#
TimecodeKit
The most robust, precise and complete Swift library for working with SMPTE timecode. Supports 22 industry timecode frame rates, including conversions to/from timecode strings and offering timecode-based calculations.
Timecode is a standard for representing video frames and used for video burn-in timecode (BITC), or display in a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) or video playback/NLE applications.

V
#
Vuo
Vuo is a visual programming tool using patches and 'noodles' to construct a composition that will process video. Those compositions will be able to be published directly for use within FCPX. You can build effects, generators and transitions.
