For future generations (and for feedback), here is some code that has worked at least once. :) - (NSString *) determineFCPVersion { // Returns the version number of Final Cut Pro in x.y.z format #define bID "com.apple.FinalCutPro" CFURLRef outAppURL; Str255 s; OSStatus status; NumVersion version; // Get the URL for FCP status = LSFindApplicationForInfo (kLSUnknownCreator, CFSTR(bID), NULL, NULL, &outAppURL); if (status != noErr) @throw [NSException exceptionWithName:@"Failed to get CFURLRef for" reason:[NSString stringWithCString:bID] userInfo:nil]; // Create a bundle for FCP CFBundleRef bRef = CFBundleCreate(kCFAllocatorDefault, outAppURL); if (!bRef) @throw [NSException exceptionWithName:@"Failed to get bundle ref for" reason:[NSString stringWithCString:bID] userInfo:nil]; // Get the version info from the bundle *((UInt32*)&version) = CFBundleGetVersionNumber(bRef); if ((version.minorAndBugRev & 0x0F) != 0) { sprintf( (char*)s, "%d.%d.%d", version.majorRev, version.minorAndBugRev >> 4, version.minorAndBugRev & 0x0F ); } else { sprintf( (char*)s, "%d.%d", version.majorRev, version.minorAndBugRev >> 4 ); } return [NSString stringWithCString:(char *)s]; #undef bID } Bruce On Sun, Apr 26, 2009 at 10:11 AM, Darrin Cardani <dcardani@apple.com> wrote:

An easier way is to use CFBundleGetVersionNumber (). You can call CGBundleGetBundleWithIdentifier (CFSTR ("com.apple.finalcutpro")) to get the CFBundleRef, then call CFBundleGetVersionNumber () with it. Darrin On Apr 24, 2009, at 11:49 PM, Andreas Kiel wrote:

Hi Bruce, How was NAB? Here a "stupid but fast" solution from terminal "defaults read /Applications/Final\ Cut\ Pro.app/Contents/Info CFBundleVersion" to get the FCP version Regards Andreas On 25.04.2009, at 08:10, Bruce Sharpe wrote:

Actually the solution I outlined below is no good: the first time the effects are requested from FCP 6, it takes a loooong time to return from the call, with lots of status messages flashing by.

So I'm still looking for a solution.

To clarify, I am only interested in distinguishing between version 5 and version 6 or later. So far I am requesting the list of all effects, an event that is not supported by version 5. If the data size of the reply event is 0 I assume the version is 5.  If it is greater than 0, then I conclude it is version 6 or later.

Just wondering if there is something more straightforward and a little less weird.

Is there a recommended way to determine what version of FCP is running, using Apple Events? I've tried a couple of things but am not satisfied with the speed/reliability.
