I'd like to use a clip from the timeline through an image parameter. To get it synchronized correctly, I need to know the clip offset time in the time line. I think the method "startTimeOfImageParm:" should return the correct value, but it always returns 0. "durationOfImageParm:" returns a reasonable value so the clip seems to be connected. In contrast, Motion does it correctly without time transformation, and also the method "startTimeOfImageParm:" returns correct values. This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

XML track listing ignored when media reconnected

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've found a strange XML import behavior in Final Cut Pro. Here's the scenario: I make a new project and add a clip to the Browser with 1 video and 4 audio tracks. Drag the clip into the timeline, select it and unlink the tracks, and delete the 4 audio tracks. Then drag the video track into a new bin in the browser to give you a new clip with no audio tracks. With the new clip selected, export XML. If you import this XML into a new project, making sure that the "Reconnect to Media" checkbox is off, the offline clip shows as having no audio tracks. When you manually reconnect media, the deleted audio tracks reappear in the online clip. There's even further weirdness if you want to compare automatic vs manual reconnecting to media. Take a video clip with audio and merge it with another audio clip. Drag the merged clip to the timeline, unlink, delete the camera audio tracks, relink, and drag it back to a new bin in the browser. Export XML for this clip, then import XML into a new project. If you choose to Reconnect to Media on import, the clip can't be opened into the Viewer (there's General Error and Error: Out of Memory dialogs). Dragging the clip to the timeline shows a "shadow" of all audio tracks, but resolves to just the tracks that weren't deleted previously. If instead you don't reconnect to media on import, but then manually reconnect, you get the expected number of audio tracks and a clip that can be opened in the Viewer.

This makes it difficult to invalidate one plugin instance from the controls of another, which sounds like what you're trying to do. It would be better if we listened to parameter changes from all extant plugin instances. But I'm not sure if that would completely solve your problem. If the user has just opened a big project, and there are instances of your plugin applied to segments that haven't been viewed or rendered since the project was opened (but were rendered previously), then we might not have instantiated your FxPlug instance for those segments. I can't think of a way around this issue. Please file a bug at bugreport.apple.com requesting a way to achieve what you want. we use global settings for our FxPlug effects and need to invalidate the affected render files in FCP when changing global settings. To get this working, I change certain custom/standard parameter values for all effects. This works for an effect if its parameter panel is visible, but it doesn't work if the effect's parameters are hidden. Is there another way to invalidate the render cache for an effect?

You could theoretically use that to write your own OFX to FxPlug wrapper. It might even be worth something to other plugin developers. I'll probably post the example today or tomorrow.
