Hi, Could you please explain how to use SF Symbols animations in Final Cut? I would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you!

When I use LiDAR, AVCaptureDeviceTypeBuiltInLiDARDepthCamera is used. As AVCaptureDeviceTypeBuiltInLiDARDepthCamera is A device that consists of two cameras, one LiDAR and one YUV. I found that the LiDAR data is 30fps, even making the YUV data 30 fps. But I really need the 240fps YUV data. Is there a way to utilize the 30fps LiDAR with 240fps YUV camera? Any reply would be appreciated.

Is there a way for an FXPlug to access the Source audio? Or do we need to make an AU plugin, apply it to a audio source [both video or audio track], and feed the info via shared memory to an FXPlug? Is there an AU plugin for external processes to "listen" to the audio?

Namaste! I'm putting together a FCPX Effect that is supposed to increase the resolution with AI upscale, but the only way to add resolution is by scaling. The problem is that scaling causes the video to clip. I want to be able to give a 480 video this "Resolution Upscale" Effect and have it output a 720 or 1080 AI upscaled video, however both FxPlug and Motion Effects does not allow such a thing. The FxPlug is always getting 640x480 input (correct) but only 640x480 output. What is the FxPlug code or Motion Configuration/Cncept for upscaling the resolution without affecting the scale? Is there a way to do this in Motion/FxPlug? Scaling up by FxPlug effect, but then scaling down in a parent Motion Group doesn't do anything. Setting the Group 2D Fixed Resolution doesn't output different dimensions; the debug output from the FxPlug continues saying the input and output is 640x480, even when the group is set at fixed resolution 1920x1080. Doing a hierarchy of Groups with different settings for 2D Fixed Resolution and 3D Flatten do not work. In these instances, the debug output continues saying 640x480 for both input and output. So the plug in isn't aware of the Fixed Resolution change. Does there need to be a new FxPlug property, via [properties:...], like "kFxPropertyKey_ResolutionChange" and an API for changing the dest image resolution? (and without changing the dest rect size) How do we do this?

Hi, We're updating our plugins to offer native arm64 support in Final Cut Pro X and thus porting our existing code over to the FxPlug4 API. Here's were we're running into issues: Out plugin features a custom parameter (essentially a push button) that opens a configuration window on the UI thread. This window is supposed to display the frame at the current timeline cursor position. Since the FxTemporalImageAPI which we had been using before for that purpose has been deprecated, how could something like that be implemented? We tried adding a hidden int slider parameter that gets incremented once our selector is hit in order to force a re-render and then grab the current frame in renderDestinationImage:... . However, the render pipeline seems to be stalled until our selector has exited so our force render mechanism seems to be ineffective. So how do we relieably filter out and grab the source image at the current time position in FxPlug 4 ? Thanks! Best, Ray

Final Cut Pro and the trial version both crash on startup. For the normal version, it just crashes when it opens and the trial version crashed after I press buy or ok on the trial screen.

Hi, I would like to read in .mxf files using AVPlayer and also AVAssetReader. I would like to write out to .mxf files using AVAssetWriter, Should this be possible ? Are there any examples of how to do this ? I found the VTRegisterProfessionalVideoWorkflowVideoDecoders() call but this did not seem to help. I would be grateful for any suggestions. Regards Tom
