Exporting XML

Instead of rendering a finished media file, you can use the "Export XML" option to hand your timeline off to a professional editing application — Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve — for further refinement.

This exports your timeline as an XML file that these editors can open, preserving your project's structure: the tracks, their positions, and all the cuts created by Silence Detection. Rather than receiving a single flattened file, you get a fully editable timeline inside your editor of choice.

This workflow is ideal when TimeBolt is one step in a larger editing pipeline — let TimeBolt handle the tedious work of removing silence and synchronizing tracks, then continue with color grading, effects, titles, and fine-tuned editing in Premiere Pro or Resolve.

Note: The XML file references your original media files rather than containing them. Keep the source files in place (or relink them when prompted) so the timeline loads correctly in your editor.
