^ this is from Andre_Agassi Wikipedia
./cutlass wikipedia "Andre_Agassi"
And after running cutlass you get tennis.fcpxml which opened in fcp looks like:
The red lines are drawn using a Shape title card rectangle and then changing the x y and transition scale x y of each line. Very rough first draft, the line logic can be improved and made to look much more pretty.
You can also run:
./cutlass wikipedia "List_of_earthquakes_in_the_United_States"
And get a completely different wikipedia table in this format.
./cutlass youtube IBnNedMh4Pg
./cutlass vtt IBnNedMh4Pg.en.vtt
./cutlass vtt-clips IBnNedMh4Pg.en.vtt 00:52_13,01:28_15,04:34_24,06:47_20,14:39_20,18:21_16,20:40_9
This will download an mp4 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBnNedMh4Pg convert it to .mov and then get the vtt subtitles. You can then pick timecodes like 01:21_6,02:20_3,03:34_9,05:07_18 the _number means number of seconds duration at the timecode.

cutlass is a swift army knife for generating fcpxml files.
Making tables is just one swift army knife blade. It can also take a youtube video id and download it (using yt-dlp) and download the vtt subtiles, and then make an fcpxml with video already cut into nice logical segments based on the timecode of the vtt info.
this is a work in progress. The idea is to have cutlass understand the fcpxml format perfectly (no small task) and be able to generate impressive videos very quickly. Or at least generate a really good starting point for a human to then open fcp and tweak.
