I am currently in the final stages on adapting my Quartz Composer plugin package "QC Integration FX" for FCP X and Motion 5. Can you exactly explain what you need? I think I can add the "missing" feature into my plugin package (if it is not already there), so that you can do what you actually want to do. Sadly I'm more of an FxScripter than Xcode developer. The modern equivalent is a 'motion developer' for now. I plan to produce a variety of free templates for FCP X to showcase effects possibilities and ease adoption for FCP Classic editors. I guess my best bet is for Gabriele de Simone of Noise Industries to come up with some extensions to FxFactory that include a variety of OSC hooks into quartz compositions. I'll post that request in their forum. Alex, As I mentioned last week, I discussed this with our designers, and the problem is not on your end. What you're trying to do won't work due to the way things work inside the apps. The only option to get the results you want is to write an FxPlug with the appropriate OSC. It might be worth doing, depending on how popular your plug-in is. In order to get to know Motion Effects, I thought I could produce a slightly improved Mask effect. ... Unfortunately, in Final Cut, the 'Track Points' behaviour doesn't evaluate more than once. This means that although it is possible to keyframe the mask controls, the updated positions aren't passed to the masking rectangle. Is the lack of keyframing due to a mistake in my Motion effect construction, or is it a bug in Motion 5 or Final Cut Pro X?
