Now I am new to Plugin development, so in my mind my workflow would be: FCP: Export XML Cocoa: open XML and parse accordingly, as far as what I want to do. Cocoa: Write new XML FCP import new XML It may be that I can tell FCP to export XML in the background, and open that via stdout, etc etc etc... I have no idea yet how FCP talks, what hooks are available, etc etc.. I am assuming FxPlug will enlighten me as to what is available. I want to be able to grab all of the Generated Text in the timeline so I can modify it. XML is definitely one way, I shall crack open the ol' SDK and see what she's got. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

I think you were on track in hoping to avoid the extra workflow indirection. I'd recommend writing an FxPlug Generator to accomplish that. You can create a custom UI view to let the user edit text. When you install the FxPlug SDK, you'll see a new Xcode template called FxPlug Generator that will help you get started. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
