I really appreciate it. Paul Schneider wrote:
it sounds like you want to write a file importing plugin. FxPlug generators are not really the best choice for that. For one thing, there's no "native format" for generators - they are expected to be able to generate any frame size, frame rate, and field order, and support any duration.
If your USB device is exposed as a filesystem to the Mac, the best thing to do would be to write a QuickTime component that allows the video data to be wrapped in a QuickTime movie.
Well, my device driver appears as a character device (IOKit USB driver with an IOUserClient interface); it can be used to stream video in/out of the system.
If the Mac doesn't have access to the device's filesystem, you could write a standalone application that pulls the video stream from the device and saves it as a QT movie on disk. Your application could then create some XML that references the movie and load that into Final Cut.
That could also be an option. But of course I prefer it to be possible to directly load the video stream from the device driver into Final Cut without additional applications.
Here's some further reading that might be of interest to you:

I'll look into it, thanks a lot for your help and apt response! Greetings, Kris _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
