Creating an XML File by Dragging an AAF File (Windows Only)
You can create an XML file by dragging an AAF file to the MetaSync Publisher icon. The icon is created on the desktop by the MetaSync Publisher installation program.
MetaSync Publisher icon
To create an XML file by dragging an AAF file:
1.  Locate and select the AAF file or files that you exported from the Avid editing application.
2.  Drag the file or files to the MetaSync Publisher icon.
MetaSync Publisher extracts the necessary information and creates an XML file in the folder that contains the source file. The file keeps the same name as the AAF file but uses the file name extension .xml. You can then transfer this file to another application for further processing.
MetaSync Publisher opens a message box that reports either an XML file was created or an error has occurred. Click the View Log button to view the log file, or click OK.
  Using the drag-and-drop method to export a file, you can create an XML file by dragging a sequence directly from an Avid editing application to the MetaSync Publisher icon. For more information, see Using the Drag-and- Drop Method for Export.
