Implement export to Adobe Audition

[sarahrainbow]

I believe exporting to audition could be done in the same manner as exporting to FCP/SaDiE.

Parameters required:

• Project
  • Name - String (xml file name) e.g. 'MyAudioProject.xml'
• Sequence
  • Duration - Int (longest track duration in seconds) e.g. 8359
• Media format
  • depth - Int e.g. 32
  • sample rate - Int e.g. 48000
• Track
  • name - String (audio file name e.g. 'some audio.wav')
  • duration
  • start
  • end
  • pathurl - String (uri encoded e.g. 'file://Users/rainbs02/Downloads/some%20audio%206.wav'

Here's an example xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
<!DOCTYPE xmeml>
<xmeml version="5">

Let me know if you need an Audition license - ideally with some numbers from Dave Walters or so re usage/licensing across the BBC.

I have got in touch with Dave Walters (Head of Product, Audio Production) to ask about the usage of Adobe Audition, SaDiE and VCS.
