CLiP is an automated system that processes and integrates editorial shot timing data into a production pipeline.
The accuracy of shot timing data is required on large scale productions. CLiP addresses the development of an editorial/production data workflow that will assist in achieving this data accuracy.
Included is a cut list parser (CLiP) which exports editorial shot timing data to an XML file, a Python module to access shot timing data, Production Application Wrapper example code and a Playback List Generator.
