If the state is something where you're using a snapshot of it at the time your effect is applied, you can certainly go the custom, hidden parameter route. Otherwise you might be able to embed something in the project or sequence by sending FCP some XML via AppleEvent but I haven't tried to do something that myself so it's just a guess. That won't work as well if there are unsaved projects, though, since they aren't terribly visible to the outside world (i.e., your plugin) until they're saved at least once.

Thanks for the tips, Steve.

Actually, I am trying to save the state of a singleton object.
(Neither per clip, nor global preference.)
So, it's more like a 'project setting' type of thing.
Or maybe even a 'sequence setting'.

I'd certainly love it to be a 'sequence setting'.

I'll definitely need to store the value inside the FCP (or Motion)
project file, somehow. Any ideas?
