No, there’s no way to ensure that. We hope to create an API for frame analysis in the future, but we do not have anything available at this time. Darrin

Hi all,

The FxFilter that I'm developing requires data from a range of frames in a video. Analyzing a whole range of frames at once takes too long and makes Motion/FCPX temporarily unresponsive (I originally accomplished this all in renderOutput), so I decided to have the user simply start at the beginning of the video and press play (hit spacebar) to sequentially process the frames. This way, the user has an idea of the progress that the FxFilter is making, and Motion is still relatively responsive.

I click a toggle to enable "frame analysis mode" then press play. The first few frames play slowly reflecting that the processing actually happens, but then the playback speeds up, and frames skip as shown in the debug log below: (I have an NSLog( @"Processing frame %f", renderInfo.time.frame ) in renderOutput)

Is there a way to ensure renderOutput runs on every frame during playback?

Thanks,
