Hi Paul,
Thanks for the response. It turns out that my original problem description was off base. It's ok if FCP loses focus (frames stay the same size). However, I pop up a window from inside my plugin to show a progress bar & a cancel button. This is created by
NSRect progressRect; progressRect.origin.x = 200; progressRect.origin.y=200;
progressRect.size.width=200; progressRect.size.height=200;
NSWindow* progressWindow = [[NSWindow alloc] initWithContentRect:progressRect styleMask:NSTitledWindowMask backing:NSBackingStoreBuffered defer:NO];
[progressWindow setTitle:@"Analysis Progress"];
[progressWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:self];
called from renderOutput, and it is when I click on this window that the frames returned from temporalImageAPI::getInputBitmap change size. Changing to another application seems OK.
I still consider this behaviour odd; shall I file the bug report, or is it just that creating a window from inside renderOutput is a bad idea?
I think I will abandon the separate window approach, and use progress display in the UI panel as you suggested to a previous poster re: background processing. Will I be able to update the UI progress display from inside renderOutput?
Thanks,
Hugh

Hi, Hugh,
that doesn't sound like something I'm aware of, or something that should be happening.
Can you file a bug report at
http://bugreport.apple.com ? Please include a test project if you can (we don't need media). If you email me with the bug # I can try to move it towards the top of my queue.
Thanks,
- Paul

Hi -
I'm working on a plugin that spends some time analyzing other multiple frames from a clip once it is applied; this analysis takes some time. I find that if Final Cut Pro loses the focus while this processing is happening, the frames I obtain (using the TemporalImage API) change in size (to half height fields). I guess that FCP switches to a different render path when it's not in the foreground. However, I need to get the original frames for my analysis. Is there any way to prevent this happening, and ensure I get full size frames from the timeline independent of the foreground status?
Thanks,
Hugh Denman
