Custom parameters with kFxParameterFlag_CUSTOM_UI

The button opens a modal dialog with complex GUI containing a set of controls and the current frame. Those controls are used to analyze the frame and to modify several custom parameters (created by addCustomParameterWithName with the kFxParameterFlag_CUSTOM_UI flag enabled). The parameters are visible/editable only in the dialog. This works well in FCP6/7 and in Motion5 (in Motion Projects). To make it work in FCP X, I need to somehow "publish" the custom button to let user open the custom dialog and to adjust those custom parameters based on the current frame from the FCP X project. Is this technically possible in the current version of FCP X? If not, will such custom buttons and custom parameters be added later? What would be the next best way to provide the same functionality directly to FCP X users (opening the FC Effect back in Motion5 will likely not help, since the frame data is not provided)?

I've been migrating my plugins as I can, but not all of them work the same as they did in FxScript. Plus, it'd help you with the conversion of FCP projects... ;) please?

User-agent: Microsoft-Entourage/12.24.0.100205 Dear list, Seeing as I'm starting all over after being an FxScript developer for a while, I'm starting my development for FCP X using Motion 5. FCP Classic allows protected versions of FxScript plug-ins. Is there an equivalent method of protecting my work (such as it is) when using Motion 5? It's not that I'm the most expert user yet, but it would be handy to keep some of my methods secret (once I get some worth protecting).

Re: FxPlug 2: createTexture and createPBuffer
by Darrin Cardani 24 Jun '11

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev(a)lists.apple.com Garrick, Yes, they are documented in the missing docs. For -createTexture:, we pass the pixels argument to glTexImage2D (), so yes it can be nil. -createPBuffer: calls glGenBuffers () passing it the pointer to the buffer ID that you pass in. It then calls glBindBuffer () and binds it to the target. Darrin On Jun 24, 2011, at 1:53 PM, Garrick Meeker wrote: > Are these documented in the missing docs? Specifically, I'd like to know if createTexture's 'pixels' argument can be NULL (when the image isn't coming from memory), and what does createPBuffer do? Obviously it's a GLuint not a CGLPBufferObj, but is this a framebuffer, renderbuffer, PBO? > > _______________________________________________ > Do not post admin requests to the list.
