Darrin,
Thanks for following up on this.
Sadly I'm more of an FxScripter than Xcode developer. The modern equivalent
is a 'motion developer' for now. I plan to produce a variety of free
templates for FCP X to showcase effects possibilities and ease adoption for
FCP Classic editors.
I guess my best bet is for Gabriele de Simone of Noise Industries to come up
with some extensions to FxFactory that include a variety of OSC hooks into
quartz compositions. I'll post that request in their forum.
