In the past 2 weeks, I've received several complaints that our Au
Naturel plugin is showing up with no parameters in FCP HD. The
plugin still works correctly in After Effects, though. I'm unable to
reproduce the problem here.
Apparently, they simply apply the filter in the normal manner, but
when they go to the "Filter" tab in the Viewer window, it doesn't
have any parameters. (And yes the triangle is twirled open. I had
them send me a screenshot. :-)
For one user, rebooting their computer seemed to clear up the
problem, but for another user it did not. Has anyone run into this
problem before? If so, what was the fix or workaround?
I've figured out how to fix the problem, so I thought I'd post here
in case anyone else runs into this in the future. Throwing out FCP's
POA Cache file fixes the problem.
In talking with other developers, I've found out that FCP doesn't
handle plugins getting updated very gracefully. Apparently, if you
add parameters to your plugin, and the user installs the new version,
projects that had the older version applied will no longer work. In
some cases, though, users told me that this was the first version
they had downloaded. So I'm not sure if there's some other problem,
too. In any event, I've filed it as a bug:
