But I think it is somewhat messy, and not all that reliable. An Apple Event would be cleaner, and more succinct. And it wouldn't end up in a file, but in RAM, accessible to our apps right away. Remember, this is just a request, a suggestion. Not really saying can't be done any other way. As a matter of fact, I think I'll prefer for the user to manually save an XML over GUI scripting... but that's just me.

Re: 3D Camera API - Camera Aperture?
by Matt Rhodes 28 Apr '08

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev(a)lists.apple.com Hello Team (again). After some more investigation, I've found that if you have the camera at (0,0,0) and a 3D plane at (0,0,0), the plane will fully cover the Camera (an exact fitting). This means that the camera is actually offset in Z, even though the values (and matrix) show (0,0,0). I'll begin the reverse engineering (since the docs are sparse here), but if someone on the Apple team can comment on this and tell me how the 3D camera is calculated, I'd appreciate it. m Hey Team. Is there any other Camera info you can send along? Thanks. Matt Rhodes Zaxwerks, Inc. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

I can get the layer's transform and lens just fine -- but do you know what the aperture for the Camera is? I imagine it's a fixed value. This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

Then I want to get a list of the selected items in the project browser menu. The FCP XML Interchange format allows getting project xml, but there is no way to find the selected items from it. Basically, the functionality should be similar to the Automatic Duck's XML export plugin, but I need to get the paths to the media files instead of exporting XML. Searching the list I found suggestions to use PRODataInterchange protocol but it is not documented. I may need PROHostElementProtocol but it is not documented either. Could someone suggest any links/info/hints how to do this? Unfortunately, there is no publicly available information on doing this and it is not supported. The only supported way of doing this is to use FCP's XML export interface. This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com
