In the XML specs there is mention of the <codec> element, which is a child of the <samplecharacteristics> element. This sounds like what I want. However none of the clips in the bins have a <codec> element. A sequence does, but the clips in the sequence do not. This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

I got this reply from Paul Schneider at Apple: I'll file a bug, but we probably won't change this for awhile (definitely not for the next release). If we do change this, we'll provide warning, and also bump the XML version. I suspect that this will be low priority, since it works the way it is, even if it is a little strange. - Paul I'm trying to decode the xml cdata from a custom parameter of my FxPlug effect. This parameter saves its data as dictionary. I'm using FCP 7.0 and the FCP xml version being used is 4.0. I'm doing the following to get back the dictionary data, and I think "decodedData" should already be the dictionary data as saved by the custom parameter. Strangely, it turns out that "decodedData" is still of type NSData. Only, when I feed this data into another archiver, the archiver returns the wanted dictionary ("decodedData2"). NSKeyedUnarchiver* unarchiver = [[[NSKeyedUnarchiver alloc] initForReadingWithData: dstData] autorelease]; id decodedData = [[unarchiver decodeObject] retain]; unarchiver = [[[NSKeyedUnarchiver alloc] initForReadingWithData: decodedData] autorelease]; id decodedData2 = [unarchiver decodeObject]; I wonder if I'm somehow wrong and if this approach is correct and reliable?

Compressor Scripts

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev(a)lists.apple.com Hi all, As said not sending it to a cluster works perfect even with 500+ files. Anyone knows anything about that? Thanks Andreas _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored. Pro-apps-dev mailing list (Pro-apps-dev(a)lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/pro-apps-dev/site_archiver%40lists.a… I'm back to usual work after some other work and run into a little problem while sending scripts to Compressor. I do send a standard script as described in the manual to Compressor - that works perfectly and is pretty cool as you can send this script from any custom app you got and it works in the background as always. Now a customer got the idea whether I can do send the job to a cluster as well - which didn't seem to be a problem, BUT... a) How/where can I find the available cluster names. b) Even if the user types in a cluster name correctly and a valid script is generated - cluster rendering does crash very often, even though the log file says that files are found and can be read correctly. c) Some of the files also crash the cluster process if everything is done manually and submitted to a cluster. A reason might be that these files are referenced movie (MXF). This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

(This is because even if your filter is software capable, the next one in line may not be.) For GPU plugins, you are limited to the maximum texture size the GPU supports. This is generally either 2048 or 4096. In order to support larger images, we would have to add a tiling mechanism to FxPlug, which we don't have at this time. You can make a 4k or 8k sequence in Final Cut today. You won't get RT playback, but the app should be able to handle it.
