site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev(a)lists.apple.com Hello Steve, the plugin uses only nib files to store resources. Thanks anyway, Eberhard > The only reason I can think of offhand is that QuickTime and your plugin are storing your UI elements in resource files instead of nibs, and that your popup button has the same resource ID as QuickTime's. If this is the case, you're running into the issue where QuickTime's resource file was opened earlier and then your plugin's resource was opened, putting it "on top" of QuickTime's in the resource file chain. When the resource manager is looking for a control with a particular ID, it'll see yours first and use it (unless they're specifically making theirs the "current" resource file). The solution would be for you to choose a different set of resource IDs to eliminate the conflict. > > steve > > > On Jan 17, 2011, at 1:58 AM, Eberhard Ammelt wrote: > >> a customer has reported a problem where the popup button from a custom parameter of our plugin appears in the QT export dialog and replaces the "Include" popup button.

Detecting the 1.8 Gamma Shift?
by Robert Monaghan 14 Jan '11

14 Jan '11

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev(a)lists.apple.com Hi Everyone.. Is there a good way to know when an image is being displayed as a 1.8 Gamma in FCP? My filter currently processes YCbCr imagery, but I have intentionally deactivated RGB. As a result, I never really know when 1.8 is being displayed. On some FCS 3 installations (on 10.6.x), I see shifting, and sometimes, I don't. Mostly the shift happens between a pause and then a play. (Pause is RGB 1.8 and play is YCbCr 2.2) Should I detect and fix this in my filter? bob. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

Had an email from a customer today who reported that the border colour on our DH_Box filter was not matching up with the same RGB value in a "Color Solid" generator. So I tried it and found that there is a noticeable difference between the "Color" (FxScript) and the "Color Matte" (FxPlug) video generators. You can see it most clearly by using the HSB controls in the Controls tab, with saturation at 0 and looking at the Canvas output in the videoscopes. The B value in "Color Matte" generator tracks perfectly to the 0-100 values in the videoscopes but the "Color" generator is too bright in the shadows and midtones. Feels like this could be a missing 1.8 to 2.2 gamma conversion?

Re: FCP Apple ProRes 422 codec and getInputBitmap - weird?

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev(a)lists.apple.com Hi Paul, Are you sampling inputs at render time or UI time? Do you set the "may remap time" flag in your properties dictionary? Does this happen just with FCP 6, or in FCP 7 as well?
