Writing my first FxGenerator plugin, and cannot determine how to do the following:
I want my plugin to get the metadata of the clip holding the current frame from FCP X.
In FCP X, when you highlight a clip, the Info panel shows the clip's filename, start and end times, etc.
How can my plugin get that information from FCP X for the current frame in the plugins renderOutput:: call?
The reason I ask: what I really need to know the is exact time when the video frame was recorded.
I figure if I could get access to the Info Panel data, I could calculate a frame timestamp...
Perhaps you can provide an easier solution?
thanks
