You can even include post render actions like run AppleScripts and what not... all in a compressor preset.

After export, the folder will be uploaded to our Digital Asset Management system via FTP. I wandered around the docs I could find on the developer.apple.com site, but could not find anything that looked like to develop export plug-in for final cut pro. Is it possible to create a plug-in for export? If yes how can I do this? Is there any documentation regarding this?

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev(a)lists.apple.com Is anyone here using Pantomime for email notification? thanks Mark James mjames @ SoftRAID.com Birds have bills also, but they keep on singing. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

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… We have encountered numerous bugs in the framework, that we think someone must have resolved. The last release we can find that works is 1.2.0pre3 from 2007. I am looking for any developer who has implemented Pantomime, and if you have, can you please forward a recent dump of the source, especially if you made any changes? What we will do is merge all/any changes we find and post them on collaborationworld, sourceforce, or google code. Then when we fix bugs, we will post them, as we hope others will do also. Please respond off list. If/when we make a source update, I will make an announcement. If you know any other companies using Pantomime, I would appreciate any references. Its about the only tool us developers have for email notification. This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

It is the methods in that protocol which are called to serialize and deserialize the data. So you'll implement -initWithCoder: and - encodeWithCoder:. See the SimpleMatte example in /Developer/Examples/FxPlug/ for sample code. I've been away for a couple of weeks. Thanks for all the information but there is still a piece I am missing. What callback is made to deserialize the data for custom UI elements? And can you point me to an example of this? There isn't, but if you have a custom parameter, you will get called to deserialize its data. You could do what you need to do at that time. As a plugin is getting re-instated during an "Open Project..." (boot), is there an methods which get called, which we can hook into?

You get the deserialized data like this: id getParamAPI = [_apiManager apiForProtocol:@protocol (FxParameterRetrievalAPI)]; NSDictionary* customSettings= nil; [getParamAPI getCustomParameterValue:&customSettings MyCustomParameterID]; I've been away for a couple of weeks.
