I'll send the plugin to you off-list. I believe that Motion requires that param ID's be in the range 1-9998 inclusive. FCP shouldn't have any restrictions. It looks like ID 100 is bad, maybe used by the input image or something. The SimplePaint example starts at ID 1. Is there a range that's reserved? We don't have a hard limit on number of parameters, although you will probably hit performance problems in our UI with a large number. I just wrote a quick plugin that adds 250 sliders in a loop and it seemed to work. Is it possible that you are using 100 as the ID for two different parameters? Is your 100th parameter a point control? Is there a limit to the number of FxPlug parameters allowed in FCP? I don't recall this being discussed. On the 100th parameter I get this exception: 2009-02-02 15:54:52.706 Final Cut Pro[1189:813] Exception thrown while loading plugin "FxPlugWrapper: 1BF495F8_AC0F_422D_B400_0E91831993A7": -[FxPlugWrapper createInputPortWithArguments:forKey:]: Key "input_100" is already in use by node <FxPlugWrapper "1BF495F8_AC0F_422D_B400_0E91831993A7" = 0x21633FC0 "(null)"> This email sent to pschneider(a)apple.com This email sent to pschneider(a)apple.com This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com
