Look at the FinalCutPro_AppleEvents sample code. You can have your external app, get the XML from FCP and then send XML to FCP. Main limitation is you need to known the FCP project in your external app - you can't ask FCP for it. Ya I figured I could just export the XML from Final Cut, write a parser to pull out the text I needed. I was trying to do it all while in FCP. Now I am new to Plugin development, so in my mind my workflow would be: 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. You should learn about XML first if you want to edit some text generators into a timeline, try with with some build in generators like "Text". Look at those and how they are 'build' with the FCP FXBuilder and try to modify for your own needs and then look at the XML again. Finally look at the 'little bit odd' implementation of AE for FCP 5.1.x to directly place some stuff. Can you explain in more detail what you're trying to do? Can someone point me in the direction of a good tutorial on FCP Plugin Authoring and Getting text-generators on the timeline? I don't know of a tutorial, but you can download the FxPlug SDK from here: That can be useful for writing tools to modify or convert FCP documents. There's sample code for sending AppleEvents to FCP here: <http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/FinalCutPro_AppleEvents/ index.html> I'm not sure what you mean by getting text generators on the timeline. Can you explain in more detail what you're trying to do? _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
