====== Description of the XFD file format ======

XFD is the native, XML based, format used by frameD. It is used both to store editor projects and to load projects directly into LightWave 3D as an animation using the frameD loader.
==== Sample XFD file ====

<code>
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<frameD firstFrame="0" length="100" version="1">
    <settings previewStart="0"
     previewEnd="100"
     currentFrame="0"
     syncToLayout="0"
     previewXsheet="1"
     solidBG="1"
     background.R="102" background.G="102" background.B="102"
     checks.R="153" checks.G="153" checks.B="153" />

    <frame src="Images\4s\4Seconds0000.png" duration=”10”/>
…
    <frame src="Images\4s\4Seconds0100.png" />
    <clip src="Images\4s\4Seconds0000.png" />
…
    <clip src="Images\4s\4Seconds0100.png" />
</frameD>
</code>
**firstFrame** is optional and 0 by default \\
**settings** stores the frameD editor settings as attributes, they have no effect on loading the sequence into LightWave and may be omitted. \\
**clip** is optional as well and used to store images that are a part of the project but not in the sequence itself. \\
**duration** per frame is optional and 1 by default (if omitted) \\
**src** paths are either absolute or relative to the .xfd file itself.
