Theory: One way to not make a plugin to show up in Motion 4 would be to compile a 32/64-bit universal version where the 32-bit version is compiled against the 1.2.5 SDK and the 64-bit version against the 2.0 SDK. Than make the plugin return a null in the -initWithAPIManager: method for the 32-bit version or include the full 32-bit plugin. (probably complicated to do)
I was trying to do that, but than I decided not to go in that direction. I wound up creating two separate versions where the 64-bit ones are even in a new folder in thd effects menu with a added (64-bit) to the folded name.
That way I am free from the old SDK and go full speed ahead using thd new features of the 2.0 SDK without worrying about backwards compatibility.
The 32-bit plugin bins still show up in Motion 5, but nog the plugins. I dont know right how my 64-bit plugins show up in Motion 4.
