I have a programmer here who updated to 6.0.2, as well as the Pro Apps update 2007-01 and now FxPlugs won't show up. Kind of tough to debug :-) we've had some problems in the past where our ProAppsUpdate updaters don't update what they should. We're working to resolve the issue. If you can collect a System Profile from your customer and send it my way, I can tell you if this is the problem. Apple Menu -> About This Mac -> More Info, then hit File->Save As in the System Profiler application. There might also be clues in the console. Ask your customer to open /Applications/Utilities/Console.app, then choose File->Save A Copy As, and send me the resulting file as well. I have a guy who has some of our FxPlugs, using them with FCP 6. He recently upgraded to Leopard and reinstalled our plugins, but now they don't load and won't show up in the Effects menu. They are installed in /Library/Plug-ins/FxPlug, and were working fine before the upgrade. I just heard we had another user with similar problems. FCP just stopped loading them for some reason. Could Leopard have borked something with the FxPlug frameworks? Is there a log file or something the user can send me to check if there were any particular errors with our plugins?

I'm not sure what this question has to do with developing plugins for ProApps, but here's an idea. Do you have QuickTime Player Pro? If so, it has the ability to record from your iSight camera. Go to the prefs in QT Player Pro and make sure you have the audio and video recording prefs set to your iSight camera. Then use "New Movie Recording" or "New Audio Recording" in the File menu to make your recording. For more information about using QuickTime, please join the QuickTime Users mailing list.

Re: FC and problems getting/setting point parameter values

When your plugin changes a point parameter, if you change the X value *but not the Y value*, the change won't stick. This is something we'll need to fix on our end. In the meantime, you should be able to work around it by changing the point parameter twice - first to a dummy value, then to the value you want - so that both the X and Y components change. Thanks for bringing this to my attention! Sorry for the inconvenience. I have a plugin that has a popup parameter to specify presets. When the user changes the value, the plugin sets the values of a number of other parameters based on a set of values associated with the particular preset. What I'm finding is that with a point parameter, the x- and y-value are not always updated correctly, but only in FCP/FCE, not Motion. Also, other types of parameters seem to behave correctly in all three applications. All of the parameters are added with flags set to kFxParameterFlag_NOT_ANIMATABLE, so the values should be constant across an entire timeframe of the effect. Hoping to narrow down the problem, I wrote a small test generator plugin that just has a popup parameter and a point parameter. I dumped out the values in -parameterChanged: and -renderOutput: and found that the values had changed along the way. I also noticed that the UI was not reflecting the updated values either, in this case. Final Cut Express[6339] ### parameterChanged @ 0.000000: x was 0.500000, should be 1.000000, is 1.000000 Final Cut Express[6339] ### parameterChanged @ 0.000000: y was 0.500000, should be 0.500000, is 0.500000 Final Cut Express[6339] ----------------- Final Cut Express[6339] ### renderOutput @ 0.000000: x should be 1.000000, is 0.000000 Final Cut Express[6339] ### renderOutput @ 0.000000: y should be 0.500000, is 0.500000 I can accept that I'm doing something weird, but I don't know where to look. Does anybody have some ideas? steve This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

My findings are complete. The fact is that I have to use HandBrake to crack my DVDs. The only export from HandBrake is H.264. I then have to transcode from 264 over to DVC. If I could (directly out of HandBrake) either go to codec "none" or "DVC" then I will cut my encoding time by approx 10 fold. The time consuming task is DeCoding the H.264 on my way to DVC. I am using QuickTime Player to do my transcode from h.264 to DVC Pro 25. No app on the Mac can rival QuickTime Player in a straight transcode. Once again Thank You all for the support. Now I just need a programmer to write an exporter from HandBrake. QualityNotQuanity Is there a programmer out there that can build me a version of HandBrake that will export directly to DVC Pro25? HandBrake is OpenSource I think??? Need someone who can turn on a dime. I am "legally ripping" DVDs for the content owner of a TV series and converting them to DVC NTSC so they can be used for an editing competition. I am using Handbrake and it will not go directly to DVC. Hence H.264. I Tried MPEG streamclip and it is a dog on my Mac. I must commend Handbrake as it is hitting all 8 of my processors at 90%. It actually started cooking my machine room and overloading my AC system. For the first time in my ownership of these 8 procs have I seen H.264 encode @ 3 times realtime. I am trying to transcode from h.264 to DVC Pro25 NTSC. I am getting about a 7:1 using an 8 processor machine. Almost all other codecs are near real time. Is this codec just a dog or what? I can encode 10 bit HD 422 1080p faster than this. Anyone know of any new codecs that can hit he registers on the new machines? DCV Pro 25. Has anyone successfully used a codec other than DVC to edit with in FCP and or Premiere? TIA ...
