I assume you have done some testing and are aware of the limitations on annotations in the current FCVSR. You can't globally search annotations; Just thought I'd add that in FCSVR you can actually search for annotations globally if you use the advanced search.

Clearly, I need to add a section in the Info.plist file, under ProPlugPlugInList, for each FxPlug, but I'm mystified about the Principal class entry. Is the Principal class entry needed in this case (or actually, with any FxPlug)? If so, what should it be? You can leave it out in general since there is no "principal" class for a FxPlug. Each entry in the Info.plist plugin table contains the name of the class associated with a corresponding effect contained within the bundle. This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

We have some spiffy HD NTSC material here that we'd like to convert to PAL for testing our video applications and servers. Using FCP to convert XDCAM HD 35 NTSC -> PAL of some complex whitewater rafting footage resulted in very jerky video. Is there some kind of alternate workflow using FCS that can do a pretty conversion, or some nice freeware or cheap shareware tools for the Mac that can do it?
