Sometime in the last year or two, I surveyed FxPlug developers and asked about which features they'd like to see, and one that came out near the top was "create windows in the UI." I'm trying to remember what this about, as I know several plugins currently have custom windows either for registration, configuring parameters, or other stuff. If this was a feature you were looking for, can you remind me what it is that you need from it? This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

User-agent: Microsoft-Entourage/12.17.0.090302 We'd like this to0. For instance, in our retiming plugin, it would be nice to "retime to fit"... Which would also necessitate the same feature.

I think we'd need a separate flag for this, since this isn't true for many effects, even the ones that vary over time. I believe we've had requests for this before, but please feel free to add your voice. I have a generator effect that varies over the length of a clip in a way that depends upon the clip length. For example, think of the case where you have a bouncing ball that goes from the left- to the right side of the frame over the course of the clip duration. If I drag my generator effect to the timeline and configure it, then tell FCP to render the clip, the render happens and the render status line above the clip changes from orange (unlimited) to blue (rendered). When I play back the clip, I see the equivalent of the bouncing ball happily bouncing from the left- to the right side of the frame. If I then increase the length of the clip, I see the blue line above the previously-rendered section, the orange line above the section just extended. If I "render all," the newly-added section is rendered. If I play back the clip, I see the bouncing ball going from left to right, then in the newly-added section, the ball hops back a bit and then bounces to the right edge. I'm trying to figure out if I have something set up incorrectly in the plugin or if this is just the way that FCP works. There are only two things I think I have control over, thus those methods are set up as: - (NSDictionary*) properties { return [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: [NSNumber numberWithBool:YES], kFxPropertyKey_SupportsRowBytes, [NSNumber numberWithBool:NO], kFxPropertyKey_SupportsR408, [NSNumber numberWithBool:NO], kFxPropertyKey_SupportsR4fl, [NSNumber numberWithBool:NO], kFxPropertyKey_MayRemapTime, [NSNumber numberWithBool:NO], kFxPropertyKey_PreservesAlpha, [NSNumber numberWithBool:NO], kFxPropertyKey_PixelIndependent, [NSNumber numberWithInt:0], kFxPropertyKey_EquivalentSMPTEWipeCode, nil]; } This email sent to pschneider(a)apple.com This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

In other words, we don't update the parameter list for existing projects. This is a longstanding issue; please feel free to file a bug if you would like to add your voice to those asking that it be fixed. ...and the new parameter is not showing up. I ran through the plugin loading in the debugger and found that -addParameters is being called, as expected, to define bold old and new parameters (all custom in this case). Then -createViewForParm: is being called once for each of the old parameters, then nothing more. Am I doing something wrong or what?
