Has anybody built tools for manipulating the XML content of Cinelerra's EDL?



In particular (ref:

n_5),

It must be said that since an XML file is a text file, you can always repair
broken media linkage by editing the XML file in a text editor. For every
media you moved, search for the old path and replace it with the new one.
Don't forget to make a backup copy of your XML file before doing any
editing!

It would be handy to parse the EDL and (for example):

 

1.      Get a list of all the media (and their paths) on which a given
project depends.
2.      Automatically move all the media links to some other point in the
file system.
3.      Validate that all media are available, since (in my experience)
Cinelerra simply hangs if there are any missing media files.
4.      Prune the EDL of any media which haven't actually been incorporated
into an edit.

 

Have such things been done?

Thanks
