Actually I'm new to Final Cut and related software so I'm not sure what is 'common' to do in my case. To refrain: I have a device that offers a SDI stream to MacOS through my driver (by means of an IOUserClient). Now I'd like users to be able to comfortably capture this stream into Final Cut and related. Black Magic Design builds comparable products and also offers a plugin for Final Cut Pro HD. A look at the usage manual (page 20) suggests they've built a plugin for Final Cut that makes it possible to realtime capture streams from their devices: http://www.blackmagic-design.com/downloads/manuals/decklinkmacmanual.pdf So it's possible and it's being used. Although, it seems they did not use a 'normal' FxPlug plugin; as capturing has to be started using "Log & Capture" from the file menu rather than selecting a plugin to capture the stream. I'm not really sure what to do here, using the FxPlug framework to build a capture source in Final Cut seems to be a strange idea. As far as I have seen, the FxGenerator FxPlug plugin is build to return one frame at a time, so it seems not to be the ideal solution to import 25 frames/sec. As opposed to building a capture source for use within Final Cut, would it make more sense to build a QuickTime plugin for my purpose? Thanks in advance!

One Tiger, one Leopard. Did I miss a notice that the 3rd Party plug-in path in the General preferences was going to disappear in Leopard? I don't see it anymore. Poof. No, it doesn't exist by default. So on a new machine, or an erase and install, the path won't be there. It's safe to create it yourself. If it's there, Motion and FCP will find what's in it. If it's not, they'll just skip it. This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

I think that will give you what you want for determining if you're on a cut. See FxTimingAPI.h for more details. There is no way to tell where markers are from within an FxPlug, however, see below for some useful info. Also can a FxPlug create a Marker or Edit ? No. You can write an application which will read in the XML from either FCP or Motion (though Motion's is undocumented) and output the same XML with additional markers, though. So it may still be possible to do what you want. (This will also allow you to read where the existing markers are.) This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com
