No, we don't have anything like that in the FxPlug SDK. I'm curious, if you can say, why this would be useful, though, just in case there's some other cleaner way to accomplish the same thing. It seems to me that you would need a lot more information than just the URL or path, right? You'd need to know how the host app is interpreting the contents of the file (alpha type, in and out points, cropping, frame rate adjustment, or whatever). And of course some clips might consist of multiple paths, as in the case of a sequence of image files, and as you pointed out, others might have not even have URLs. You might need to know whether the file is being used directly, interpreted through a QuickTime component, or through ImageIO. And so on. I assume the answer is "No" and that an FXPlug will only return image data, but is it possible I know this is dangerous/complicated because between the clip and the footage file could be a nested sequence, composited clips, other messiness, but aside from that, if an effect was applied to a simple single clip in a timeline, could that effect return the path to the source media as well as the footage offset?
