But I can't recall the solution. Anyway you should double check. Take a bin with 2 clips, make them offline, export bin as XML from FCP.Then import the XML and reconnect. If that works it's your XML, if that doesn't work it's a internal FCP issue. You can send me a small example and I'll have look at it. What we're trying to create in FCP is a bin with clips, set up with IN and OUT timecode and a source filename (but not path) set. We'll then reconnect to files on a SAN, keeping the IN and OUT. Multiple clips reference each source file. We're using FMPRESULT output, and the XSL is home-grown. It builds a <bin>, not the enclosing <project>. On import, there are no errors and the bin arrives. IN and OUT are listed correctly by FCP. Media Start and Media End are set to the same as IN/OUT by the XSL. However, when we select multiple clips and reconnect, FCP identifies the right source file but only reconnects one of the chosen clips. The reconnect works perfectly - IN & OUT are preserved, Media Start/ End are updated etc etc. But only one file goes through. In the XSL we allocate a different id to each <file> item (otherwise it gives an error on import). We also allocate different ids to each <track> in the <clipitem>, and link them using <linkclipref>.

I'm pretty sure that this is a documented bug in FxPlug but if someone has a workaround I'd love to hear of it. Hiding of point parameters works fine in FCP but in Motion the little crosshairs on the layer in the canvas do not hide when changing the parameters flags to kFxParameterFlag_HIDDEN. Hiding of all other parameters works as expected. I don't know if we have a bug open on that or not. I do recall there were a few parameter types that reacted weirdly to certain flags. (I think disabled gradients would get re-enabled in the HUD if you clicked on them, or something like that.) Feel free to open a new bug about it, and if it's a duplicate we'll close it as such.

For example: If you have an input for a point, you are able to move the point with the mouse. But is it also possible to drag a frame directly by mouse? Can FxScript receive the MouseButtonUp and -Down Events? I'm very pessimistic indeed... Maybe FXplug can manage such events? Another question: During scripting in FXBuilder, how can I control the value of variables? Is there an function for displaying something on screen? Something like "output Var_A" Greetings Georg Kiefer _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

I would use this to script an conditional statement (e.g. if x == 500 then...) But since I do not know the value of x I cannot script my statement precisely. Paul Schneider schrieb: FXScript doesn't have any support for interacting directly with the canvas. The FxPlug API does support this, but unfortunately it's not supported by Final Cut. You'll have to use the standard parameter types (sliders, checkboxes, etc) as your input. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
