I'm using that method for actual plugins, but...

Is there a better place to copy fonts for a specific Motion project that is only a Titles or Generator template made for FCPX and not an actual plugin? Thanks!!

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev(a)lists.apple.com Fred, I’m not entirely sure I understand all your needs here. If you just need the font for your own plug-in, you can load it from your plug-in’s bundle in its Fonts directory like this: > NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle bundleWithIdentifier: > @"com.apple.motion.TextFramework"]; > NSArray *fontPaths = [bundle pathsForResourcesOfType:nil > inDirectory:@"Fonts"]; > for (NSString *fontPath in fontPaths) > { > CFURLRef url = CFURLCreateWithFileSystemPath(NULL, > (CFStringRef)fontPath, > kCFURLPOSIXPathStyle, > false); > if (url) > { > CFErrorRef error = NULL; > bool succ = CTFontManagerRegisterFontsForURL(url, > kCTFontManagerScopeProcess, &error); > > if (!succ) > { > //Handle the error here > } > CFRelease(url); > } > } That’s the code we use to load custom fonts from Motion’s TextFramework bundle that lives inside the app. (You’ll obviously want to load from your own bundle, not from Motion's TextFramework bundle.) I’m not sure what the implications would be if the plug-in was loaded out-of-process, as we hope to be able to do one day. If you’re just using the fonts for rendering, I think that would be fine. But if the user wants to be able to use the fonts in other ways within the app, they won’t show up in the app’s UI if the plug-in is out-of-process. But of course, that’s not how it works today, so probably not a problem for the near term.

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev(a)lists.apple.com OK, good to hear. Since you mention that you’re waking up the machine, I suppose that could also be an issue.

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev(a)lists.apple.com The specific error you’re seeing: -12792, is a timeout error. This usually occurs when writing out a frame takes an excessively long time (longer than 2 minutes). Note that this doesn’t mean that rendering the frame takes longer than 2 minutes, just that writing it to disk does. Things that could cause this include the system running low on memory and spending a lot of time swapping, having a really slow disk, and other applications that are also writing to it at the same time, etc. If the disk is mounted over the network and has lost its network connection, that would also do it. So I don’t think that part of your problem has to do with your FxPlug. The second part is saying that your plug-in wasn’t found by PlugInKit, so it could not load it. Was the error in the console printed at the same time as the export error occurred? I ask because the apps don’t generally try to load plug-ins at any time other than startup, so I would have expected to see that message when the application was launched rather than during an export.

Motion error -12792

With my FxPlug, after several hours of rendering it can fail with this message from Motion: Export Failed The operation could not be completed because an error occurred while exporting (error -12792) I suspect that this will merely correspond to the following in the Console, but I could always hope that the error code points to some additional/different clue, to what is otherwise probably going to be a very tough bug to track down. Motion[613:181959] [ops] readyPlugIns failed:Error Domain=PlugInKit Code=4 "no such plugin (uuid not found)" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=no such plugin (uuid not found)} 2017-09-23 11:28:30.236470+0100 Motion[613:181959] [ops] plug-in <PKPlugin: 0x107f23ce0 OptiNelder(1.1) B8AB7AC8-8207-4F5E-B7D0-7BEFB2F72155 3(0) /Volumes/BatData/bretbattey/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/OptiNelder-cucoecnycarcxldlqejbxhfmlvcu/Build/Products/Debug/OptiNelder.app/Contents/PlugIns/OptiNelder.pluginkit> pre-screen sees activating state -=Bret _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
