Dear fellow developers,
currently I am working on an audio generator plugin. So far I created a FxGenerator. But I have a few questions:
1) Is there an API to get the current state of playback, like playing, playhead and selected clip?
2) Is there a way to mark a generator clip so I can recognise it in the XML later on, so I can create a compound clip around the generator and the generated/ingested audio?
3) Can I hide the visual controls in the timeline for transform, trim, distort andCompositing?
4) When I publish the parameters (addFloatSliderWithName), it will only show one dimensional keyframes. What do I have to specify to get a 2-D keyframe (value over time) like e.g. the opacity?
5) Can I display a pictogram in the thumbnails in the timeline? I want something like the "Placeholder" clip. Because our generator is not adding any images, I want to show the user a distinction to video clips (like displaying a note symbol or alike). Is that possible?
6) If I add a button using "addPushButtonWithName", it shows up in motion, but I cannot publish it. Is there a setting I didn't see, or is there a technical reason not to have a button in FCPX? I wanted it to trigger an offline render step.
Sorry for that long email, and thanks for all insights,
Daniel
