site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev@lists.apple.com I understand that I must develop this as an After Effects plug-in, 1. I've succeeded in getting the simplest example plug-in (Skeleton) to build, and FCP does indeed load it (I've proven this to myself by adding CFShow() statements at the top of the callback loop in main()). But just once. When I quit FCP, and then relaunch it again, my plug-in is not loaded.... 2. The example AEGP plug-ins don't contain a main(); instead, their entry-point is specified in the CW project settings > Target Settings > Linker > PPC Linker > Entry Points. I've set these just like the AE SDK says I should: Initialization: __initialize Main: GPMain_Easy_Cheese (as one example) Termination: __terminate Again, I put a CFShow() call at the entry point of my GPMain_Easy_Cheese() function, just to prove to myself that FCP loads it on start up, and it never gets called. Apparently, FCP is not loading this baby.

I seem to recall having lots of problems with it during the switch from 9 to X.) You might want to download a slightly older version of the AE SDK. I believe the 6.0 SDK is up on Adobe's website, and listed as "unsupported." Even it used CodeWarrior 7.0, if I recall correctly. Actually, you can also write a QuickTime effect plugin, though there are some issues you need to be aware of if you go that route. FCP has some odd behaviors when it comes to plugins. Try throwing out FCP's plugin cache file (usually located at /Users/<your username>/Library/Preferences/Final Cut Pro User Data/Final Cut Pro POA Cache) and see if your plugin is loaded again. I often have to do this when building a new version of a plugin. As far as I know, no other host application will load AEGPs. Only After Effects will. Most host applications don't implement all the suites that AEGPs support. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
