Maybe it would be better to write an application which opens the movie and analyzes the frames, and generates an FCP project with the appropriate scaling, panning and cropping? That would save you the trouble you're having with FxPlugs, worrying about FCP's conforming, and would get you a result that you could even easily tweak by hand in FCP later, if you needed to. I actually need to have my Reference Image at a different width and height than the canvas. This is the main reason I'm writing a Generator and not a Filter or a Transition. I need to by-pass the conform. Typically 4096x2048 images in, and typically 1920x1080 out. Mostly choosing the best crop region. Occasionally, a partial scale & crop. It uses a set of rules and analyzes the 4K image to choose the crop region. It's likely your bug, since we ship dozens of generators which work properly, as do other developers. Have you checked the width and height of the reference image? It's probably not scaled the same as the canvas. (This is another reason why you might want to write an FxFilter instead of an FxGenerator.) This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
