Import and export editorial content

You can import and export editorial files to help set up, edit, and refine a sequence of shots in the Sequencer editor.

Import editorial content

To import editorial content:

  • From the Sequencer editor menu bar, do one of the following:
    • To import a file without setting additional options, select File > Import Editorial. In the Import browser, select the XML FCP file to load.
    • To import a file and set additional options, select File > Import Editorial > .
Note: Note: When you import an editorial file, if Maya cannot locate associated movie or sound files using the paths specified in the editorial file, it searches for them in the Movie and Sound project locations. These locations are defined in the Project Window.

You can edit the Movie and Sound project locations to point to a different directory. This is useful, for example, when importing editorial files created on a different operating system or file system.
