Versions of the FxPlug SDK

FxPlug SDK 1.0 was introduced together with Motion 2.0 in April,
2005. A few months later, version 1.0.2 was released with support for
Universal Binary plug-ins but no API changes.

Version 1.1 of the
FxPlug SDK was the first version that worked with Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 .
Version 1.1 added a number of new features, including:

• Transitions.

• New FxBaseEffect parent protocol for filters, generators, and transitions.

• String parameters.

• A new -properties method that returns a dictionary describing plug-in attributes.

• 8-bit and floating-point YUV ('r408' and 'r4fl') bitmaps.

• Rowbytes support in bitmaps.

• SMPTE wipe equivalents for transitions.

• A new FxHostCapabilities class for determining the capabilities of the host application.

Version
1.2 of the FxPlug SDK works with Final Cut Pro 6.0 and Motion 3.0. The
features in this version of the SDK are detailed below in the section “Features of the FxPlug SDK 1.2”.

Version
1.2.1 of the FxPlug SDK works with Final Cut Pro 6.0.1 and Motion
3.0.1. The feature of this release of the SDK are described below in
the section “What’s New in FxPlug SDK 1.2.1”

Backward Compatability

Motion versions 2.0 to 2.1.x work with plug-ins created with FxPlug SDK 1.0 or 1.0.1.

Final Cut Pro versions 5.1.2 through 5.1.4 work with plug-ins created with FxPlug SDK 1.1 or earlier.

In
general, to make your plug-in work with any version of a host
application, have the plug-in first check for availability of a host
API for an SDK feature, and then only use that feature if the API is
available. If a particular host API is not available, the plug-in
needs to fall back to an alternative behavior.
