site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev@lists.apple.com Hi Lance I think what you're looking for are the "Size" and "Center" parameters. In future, a good place to ask this usage question is at the Apple Discussions FCP forum http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=939 ... its a very helpful place. If I'm misunderstanding you and you're looking to delve into the code side of things, select the filter in the Effects window and press Option-Enter which will open up the FxBuilder window, in the displayed FxScript you will see: input fontsize, "Size", slider, 22, 8, 100 detent 22; input center, "Center", point, 0, 0.3; Those are the two controls which handle the parameters noted above. You could add the line: input fontname, "Font", FontList, "", "str"; Which would give you a popup from which you can choose the Font. Then you could look down to where you see the lines: setTextSize(fontsize); setTextjustify(kcenterjustify); and add: setTextFont(fontname); Lastly, change the first 2 lines, where it says: scriptid "Timecode Generator" //DO NOT LOCALIZE filter "Timecode Generator" Change it to something like: scriptid "Lance's Timecode Generator" //DO NOT LOCALIZE filter "Lance's Timecode Generator" Now go to the FxBuilder menu and choose Create Plugin... Save it and place it in your FCP Plugins folder at /Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support/Plugins/ When you restart FCP you should see your new plugin listed in the Effects bin. Examining the existing code and making small adjustments is a great way to get into development of FxScript plugins for FCP.

To: pro-apps-dev@lists.apple.com Message-ID: <9AE43E53-13BC-41BD-9635-E6E3926F9413@drake.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed; delsp=yes Hi Pro-Apps people, Does anyone have an info-vector to how the size and location of the FCP timecode-generator overlay which gets added as a filter? Here's a link to how things look for me now: http://www.glorioski.com/images/timecode.jpg It does not seem that there are any controls - that I can find - which would allow font/font-size changes or locating the position of the rectangle in the frame. Maybe there's a third party plug-in which could be used in place of the FCP built-in timecode-generator filter?
