I've read the overview, but I've not seen a whole lot on adding Behaviors to Motion 3. I'm creating a Tutorial for a well-known Tutorial Portal, and the concluding section is how to create your own Behaviors for Motion 3. I know there's FxFactory, but I'd like to try it in XCode and FxPlug SDK for Final Cut Studio 2 first. But I can't find any info. or examples on this specific item. It is not possible for 3rd parties to add behaviors to Motion. You're only options are to write a filter or generator which simulates such a thing, or to write an application which produces a Motion document where you've generated all the keyframed data yourself.

Tools for Final Cut Pro developing

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev(a)lists.apple.com Hello all, That's all, Thanks in advance! Best, Jose _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored. Pro-apps-dev mailing list (Pro-apps-dev(a)lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/pro-apps-dev/site_archiver%40lists.a… I want to connect Final Cut Pro with a special Media "Database". Is there a way to add new capabilities into the Final Cut Pro Menu? For instance, a way to insert a new item into the "File" Tab to call my application Does apple provide a kind of "API" for this? I know that something similar (Insert tab menu) could be done using FxPlug, but as I understand, you are limited to the "Effects" Tab (Please, correct me if Im wrong). Beside that, what is the Media control provided by FxPlug SDK? I mean, could I receive / send media using such SDK? Im wondering if this SDK can be used in such a way ("poor man solution" :) ) This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

I have read the SDK documentation (Overview) and tried to test sample code with XCode. The compilation / building process work just fine, but Final Cut Pro does not recognize the plugin. (Obviously, it is not an issue of wrong path). I think the issue may be related to the generated files (.fxplugin), which appear to be a folder in finder... Besides this issue, I would like to ask for more documentation about the SDK or tutorial for begginers. I assume you're using the FxPlug project template in Xcode. If so, you have to make two specific changes to the plugin's Info.plist file. If you double-click on it in the Xcode project window, you'll see comment lines that say: "You must change this Group UUID. Use the uuidgen command in Terminal to generate a unique UUID." "You must change this Plug-In UUID. Use the uuidgen command in Terminal to generate a unique UUID." If you haven't done this, the effect will not be loaded by Final Cut, since those UUIDs are reserved for the unmodified project template. For each FxPlug effect you develop (and a FxPlug plugin bundle can support multiple effects), you'll have to generate a new pair of UUIDs. Just open the Terminal and type "uuidgen" twice, copy/ paste one of the UUIDs into the group and one into the effect, then you can remove the comment lines. Rebuild and see what happens. It's also a good idea to keep the Console open when you're running Final Cut. It's pretty good about telling you when there are problems loading an effect.
