Follow up: FCP and TC

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev(a)lists.apple.com I just double checked the files with FCP 6. They work as expected.

But still same question: is that behaviour known? This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

FCP and TC

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev(a)lists.apple.com I got a problem here. Is this a known bug and if yes is it a QT or FCP bug. Regards 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… This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com We have an app which adds AUX 1 TCs to captured movies - it does add them to the movie on disk. This works perfect. FCP does recognize everything as expected. See "Bin source files" in the screen shot. A possible second step will delete the source audio and replace it with an external audio (in the file). Now the AUX 1 TC is still there but does have the Source value. See "Bin merged files" in the screen shot. Deleting manually the source timecode in QT Player will restore the correct AUX 1. See "1_1_1_03 copy" in the screen shot. But that's not a solution. Only workaround is to add an AUX 2 to file which is recognized correctly by FCP. See "Bin merged files" in the screen shot. screen shot.png Checking the tracks of the merged files in QT Player also show correct results. Extracting Timecode Track 2 (AUX 1) shows the correct TC. screenshot 2.png

FCP, plugins and time/date format
by Jay Boyer 04 Sep '09

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev(a)lists.apple.com Thread-index: AcotojKUJXXRqZ+ASHy6d1pkjR49YgAEunAg Our filter generates formatted date/time strings which we want to be localized. On my Mac I went into preferences/international and changed French to the first language and rebooted. Now the FCP UI shows up in French as expected. However in our code I got the current locale and it gave me "en_US" (i.e. US English). When I applied date formatting to an object, the string came out in English (i.e. "Sunday July 11"). We want our filter to conform to FCP behavior. It doesn't look like FCP is getting the language setting from the NSLocale settings (or the unix LC_TIME, LC_ALL environment variables which I also checked). So where is FCP extracting this information from? Thanks, Jay _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

OpenCL and Grand Central Dispatch are separate technologies. You can use one or the other separately, or both together. It's hard to say, since I haven't used it myself. In general, in Motion, it's difficult to run your own threads because your threads may potentially block some other thread in Motion causing a deadlock. Since we don't yet have a threading API that you can safely access, there's not usually an easy way to do this. Hopefully we'll be able to create one in the future. It seems like it would be less of a problem in FCP since it renders on the UI thread, but I'm sure there are probably issues there, as well. <http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Performance/Reference/… > <http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/General/Conceptual/Con… > This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com
