site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev(a)lists.apple.com So, amid all the chaos of the new release, I don't think we've posted a list of what's new in FxPlug 2.0. So I'm going to highlight a few things that I think will be useful to developers to know. Later today, I'll post about building in 64-bit and backward compatibility. What's new: 1) Keyframe-able checkboxes and popup menus 2) New APIs: In particular APIs for keyframes, lights, dynamically updating parameters (including adding and removing them at any time), threading, undo, and bezier paths 3) OSCs now work in Final Cut as well as Motion, and you can now figure out pixel coordinates within your OSCs so you aren't limited to values that are percentages of the width and height 4) Improvements to existing APIs - cleaned up FxImage and subclasses to clarify which things are mutable and which aren't, fixed various bugs in many APIs, custom parameters are now interpolatable, point parameters are now relative to input image instead of output image 5) Improved documentation - clarified points that developers said were confusing, added some versioning information to make it easier to figure out when things were added to the API Let me know if you have specific questions about any of the above items. Thanks! Darrin -- Darrin Cardani dcardani(a)apple.com _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev(a)lists.apple.com The SDK will allow you build FxPlugs, which are image processing plug-ins. To download it, simply log in to your connect.apple.com account, and click on "Applications" on the right-hand side. It should be the first item in the list of downloads on the left.

Please file a Radar for it. I suspect I know what the problem is. I'd bet that we're not properly setting up the CGContext for 32-bits per channel or something like that. (That's just a guess from looking at your picture - I haven't actually debugged it yet.)

I was wondering about the new "Re-Render" API specifically -- it's mentioned in the release notes accompanying the SDK, but nowhere else. It's in FxHostCapabilities.h. It's named the FxRenderNotificationAPI. Darrin -- Darrin Cardani dcardani(a)apple.com _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev(a)lists.apple.com Hi Paul, > Making this even more difficult is it is discouraged to install FCP7 and FCPX on the same partition. > > But why would anything in FCPX interfere with an existing FCP7 install in the first place? FCPX is installed through the AppStore. Surely it is bundled up as a self-contained application according to the AppStore guidelines? Right? When you install the new apps from the app store, the older apps are moved to a different folder. Unfortunately, this breaks a few customer workflows with the older apps, particularly with Final Cut Server. It's possible that your development process doesn't require these particular workflows, and you could have both versions on the same partition without issue. We don't recommend that customers do this, since we can't guarantee that all of the features in the older studio will continue to work if the older apps are moved. - Paul On Jun 23, 2011, at 12:03 PM, Paul Miller wrote: > On 6/23/2011 11:59 AM, Matt Rhodes wrote: >> I'd add a third question (and other developers may be able to answer this already): >> 3.
