The MIDI approach has some limitations, the biggest of which is that the user needs to have the audio mixer window open at all times in order for it to work.

I don't know of any sanctioned way to do it. But I know that there are tools which hook into the app (FCP 7, not FCP X) via MIDI (I think or maybe a control surface API?) to get playhead timing information. For example, isn't there an FCP7 add-on which will show you the current playhead time in a very large window. You could probably write such a tool to talk to your FxPlug, or even just the dialog, but I don't have any details on how to do that.

Hi, I have a question about a demo I saw recently. Unfortunately it was in FCP 7, so slightly OT, but since it was with the FxPlug API, hopefully it is a useful answer going forward as well.
I saw a plug-in popup a modal UI, with its own preview window, which updated to match Final Cut's canvas window as the timeline was scrubbed. If someone had asked me if that was possible before I saw that, I would have said no, because I can't think of how. But obviously it is. Any hints on how?
Thanks in advance,
