Yes because all effects run in the Motion engine. It certainly would be nice to get accurate reporting of the host app but in the meantime you can check the main bundle instead: // Find out which Host Application called the plugin CFBundleRef appBundle = CFBundleGetMainBundle(); CFStringRef appIdentity = NULL; if (appBundle != NULL) appIdentity = CFBundleGetIdentifier(appBundle); NSString *bundleIdentifier = (NSString *)appIdentity; if ([bundleIdentifier length] > 0) { if ([bundleIdentifier caseInsensitiveCompare: @"com.apple.motion"] == NSOrderedSame) // Motion 2-4 else if ([bundleIdentifier caseInsensitiveCompare: @"com.apple.motionapp"] == NSOrderedSame) // Motion 5 else if ([bundleIdentifier caseInsensitiveCompare: @"com.apple.finalcutexpress"] == NSOrderedSame) // Final Cut Express else if ([bundleIdentifier caseInsensitiveCompare: @"com.apple.finalcutpro"] == NSOrderedSame) // FCP 5-7 else if ([bundleIdentifier caseInsensitiveCompare: @"com.apple.finalcuttrial"] == NSOrderedSame) // FCPX Trial else if ([bundleIdentifier caseInsensitiveCompare: @"com.apple.finalcut"] == NSOrderedSame) // FCPX } Martin Baker www.digital-heaven.co.uk www.twitter.com/digitalheaven ------------------------------------------------------ Digital Heaven Ltd is registered in England and Wales Company registration number: 3628396 Registered address: 55 Lynwood Drive, Worcester Park, Surrey KT4 7AE VAT registration number: GB 736 0989 03 On 20 Nov 2013, at 22:45, Ardo Avancena wrote:

I'm trying to use FxHostCapabilities protocol to figure out if the plugin is currently running in FCP, but whenever I run FCP and use a generator from motion, It always says host is motion.

Is is because it was using a motion generated file? Is there a different way for me to go about finding what app is running the plugin at the moment? _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
