maybe some with deeper knowledge about the ardour xml file format could chime in to clarify?
or also post here in the forum. The general question would be: as lightworks can export i.e FC5.xml , would it be possible to convert it via script into ardour xml, avoiding aaf/omf in between steps?
there’s really no knowledge about our session XML format that can be summarized. the format is entirely human-readable, though some humans won’t know/understand what certain nodes and properties are for or what they mean. a list of specific questions about this could be answered.
but also keep in touch that there is no DTD for our XML, and we consider it free to change between major version changes in Ardour, so a converter for version N of Ardour may not work 100% for any other version.
