Re: Final Cut plug-in development
Hi Ugur I don't know what exactly output you need. Is it a cutting list like EDL ? Or is it the actual video / audio ? This makes a great difference. If you need to make a cutting list in a specific format, I would consider using Apple's widely implemented XML and maybe look deeper into Apple Pro Plug-in SDK, which you can find more about on apple's developer connection webpages. If you need to export the actual video / audio please keep in mind that FCP is where you set up in which order you want to put your raw video / audio material. This means that only when you render the material, FCP is writing a real file. FCP is using Quicktime, which has a wide range of different encoding formats. So if you need to export the actual video / audio you should look at quicktime. And if your required format is not availble, you need to develop an encoding format, into some kind of plugin, which Quicktime can read. (Quicktime is actual crossplatform, which should mean that encoding formats can be used on both windows and mac) Hope this help. ....don't hesitate buying a mac....the coolest computer on earth !

Hi,
I am new to development in Mac. I need to develop an export plug-in for
Final Cut Pro, which will export the movie in a custom format, and will
transmit it via FTP to a remote server (the remote server is actually a
Thomson/GrassValley M-Series video server, which only accepts files in
its custom GXF format with FTP).
I already built a plug-in for Premiere Pro for windows, which works
fine. Now I am asked to do it on Final Cut Pro. I wandered around the
docs I could find on the developer.apple.com site, but could not find
anything that looked like a Final Cut SDK.
All I need to know that if it is possible to write a custom-exporter
plug-in (like in Premiere ) using Mac/Final Cut. If it is possible, our
department will order a mac for development purposes.
Any help/recommendation will be greatly appreciated.
