Hello,
our fxplug effect produces quite a lot of intermediate data (about 150
kB per minute video) and needs to keep it somewhere between closing
and opening of a FCP project.
So far it saves this data into a file in the user space and keeps the
file name in a custom parameter.
Unfortunately, with this approach one gets into trouble, when the user
duplicates an effect instance. Then, both instances share the same
data file, and it happens that one effect instance falsely loads the
data that was created by the other instance.
I'm not aware of a way in fxplug to find out if an effect instance was
created by duplication.
As an alternative, I'm considering to put the whole data into the
custom parameter, but I'm concerned about possible side effects when
the FCP project file gets very big. However, according to my tests,
opening and saving an FCP project with 1 - 10 MB works quite well.
Any suggestions regarding the best strategy for handling big custom
data?
Thanks,
Eberhard Ammelt, Pixlock
