sequence inmasterclip in FCP 7?
by Rainer Standke 04 Sep '11

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev(a)lists.apple.com Hello, I am playing with the updatebehavior for sequences in FCP 7 XML. When I replaceoradd a sequence for a second time, the XML will show a ismasterclip = TRUE node for the sequence. My first question is, what does that do for a sequence that it is a master clip? The second question is should I expect any adverse effects from simply ripping the ismasterclip node out of the XML before I put it back into FCP? Thanks for any insight, Rainer _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

Ganga, I'm a little confused by what your setup is. If you were using FxPlug.framework version 1.2.5 (or earlier), and your plugin was working, then you were running in Motion 4 (or earlier). If you switch the framework to version 2.0, then you're building 64-bit and your plug-in won't show up in Motion 4. (Or possibly it will show up but be unusable.) Are you testing in both Motion 4 and 5? Are the above lines of code in your -parameterChanged: method? If so, you should call [id<FxCustomParameterActionAPI> currentTime] to get the current time rather than passing 0. If your plug-in isn't the first thing in the timeline, then time 0 is incorrect. If you could clarify a little, that would help enormously. Also, if you don't get this on Friday, note that our offices are closed on Monday for the Labor Day holiday, so we may not respond immediately.

Rigging is supposed to allow for variations on the same effect, so that might help, perhaps that would better serve him than 240 separate Motion templates. Does that help? I did a FCPX-compatible version of our PhotoCopy product, where each "preset" is a different look model derived from source images. There is a thumbnail and unique look for each one, so I don't think I could have done it with rigging. This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com
