But at the same time, YouSendit and the Duck do manage to appear in
the export menu of FCP. Anyone care to comment how that is pulled off?

...Or you can use Final Cut Server to create a watch and respond
system that will perform all sorts of actions when either meta-data

can be described as source or destination devices in Final Cut
Server.
Once you have Final Cut Server you will find yourself able to use
it to solve all sorts of other Digital Asset Management issues even
if you don't choose to declare it as your central DAM system.
...Or you can create a Compressor preset that will compress to the
flavor desired and you can also declare FTP locations as Compressor
Destinations.
You can even include post render actions like run AppleScripts and
what not... all in a compressor preset.
Then with the new compressor, you can save the preset as a droplet
and all of your people can have a handy dandy droplet on their
desktop that they can drop stuff onto to auto-magically send to the
right FTP location in the right flavor without a chance to mess up
settings.
Let us know if for some reason you still have a particular need
that this might not cover.
Have fun

I need to develop an export plug-in for

After export,
the folder will be uploaded to our Digital Asset Management
system via FTP.
I wandered around the
docs I could find on the developer.apple.com site,
but could not find
anything that looked like to develop export plug-in for
final cut pro.
Is it possible to create a plug-in for export?
If yes how can I do this?
Is there any documentation regarding this?
There is no plugin SDK for writing export plugins. What you can do
instead is write an application which tells FCP to export its
project as XML, and then you can parse and/or modify the XML to
your liking. See the FCP XML documentation for details:
