None showed up. Steve, I changed the two fields from 1.7.1 to 1.7, ran the update, which then changed the fields back to 1.7.1, and FCP now works with the various plugins.

If your "bad system" ever had one of our betas on it, this could be the culprit. If you are in this situation, we have a pretty ugly workaround to get you out of it: 1. Edit the file /Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework/Resources/Info.plist and change the value of CFBundleShortVersionString to be 1.7. 2. Edit the file /Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework/Resources/version.plist and change the value of CFBundleShortVersionString to be 1.7. 3. Run Software Update and install PAU2007-01. I have a weird situation here. On one computer, several plugins I've written plus some other third party plugins aren't showing up in FCP, but they are showing up in Motion. No console messages, either. I've even trashed all the ProApp applications and reinstalled from the DVD with no difference. They -are- showing up in both Motion and FCP running on a different computer. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

And isn't the PluginManager framework responsible for actually loading the plugins? If so I would expect that Motion would be seeing the same problems. Software Update is showing that I have all updates to date, including FCP Update 6.0.1 and Motion Update 3.0.1. (Are they part of the PAU2007-01 update?) When I did the ProApps reinstall from the DVD, I trashed the applications as well as the various receipt files to make sure updates would be reapplied. we've seen problems like this when upgrading an earlier beta of Final Cut 6.0.1 to a later beta, or to the released version of 6.0.1.

Re: calling getInputBitmap from within drawRect of custom param view in FCP FxPlug plug-in

The idea is that you could have an "options..." button that pops up a modal dialog, and within the dialog you could grab frames from -getInputBitmap, draw them in your dialog, then draw your own controls on top of them. This is a workaround for our lack of support for onscreen controls. If you're seeing crashes, it sounds like something's going wrong in FCP. Could you send me a small sample FxPlug that shows the problem? Is it safe to call getInputBitmap from within the drawRect of a custom param view? I imagine it might not be, however the FxPlug release notes suggest using a custom param in FCP to draw overlays (as the FxPlug overlays aren't supported). So, if it isn't safe, is there a suggested way of getting the input images for drawing in the custom view? It does seem to work most of the time, but it seems a bit crashy, especially when interrupted. Ben _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
