We have trying to programmatically send data to Final Cut Pro by using Apple Event as decribed in Sending Data Programmatically to Final Cut Pro :
tell application "Final Cut Pro"
activate
open POSIX file "/Users/JohnDoe/Documents/UberMAM/MyEvents.fcpxml"
end tell
This works fine in Script Editor but we run into problems when trying to do the same in our macOS app.
We found interesting information in Workflow Extensions SDK 1.0.2 Release Notes.pdf.
A) Hardened runtime has "Apple Events Enabled" checked.
B) Info.plist contains NSAppleEventsUsageDescription:
<key>NSAppleEventsUsageDescription</key>
<string>Test string</string>
C) We added following entitlements:
<key>com.apple.security.scripting-targets</key>
<dict>
<key>com.apple.FinalCut</key>
<array>
<string>com.apple.FinalCut.library.inspection</string>
</array>
<key>com.apple.FinalCutTrial</key>
<array>
<string>com.apple.FinalCut.library.inspection</string>
</array>
</dict>
<key>com.apple.security.automation.apple-events</key>
<true/>
With this configuration in place, our app is able to call AppleScript to activate Final Cut Pro application but it is unable to open the file. Following error is returned:
Error executing AppleScript: {
NSAppleScriptErrorAppName = "Final Cut Pro Trial";
NSAppleScriptErrorBriefMessage = "A privilege violation occurred.";
NSAppleScriptErrorMessage = "Final Cut Pro Trial got an error: A privilege violation occurred.";
NSAppleScriptErrorNumber = "-10004";
NSAppleScriptErrorRange = "NSRange: {56, 64}";
}
Also there is no prompt asking user to allow Automation from our app to Final Cut. I am not sure whether the prompt is to be expected when developing an application in Xcode.
Our current workaround is to add (or even replace com.apple.security.scripting-targets with): com.apple.security.temporary-exception.apple-events entitlement like this
<key>com.apple.security.temporary-exception.apple-events</key>
<array>
<key>com.apple.FinalCutTrial</key>
</array>
However while this approach might work in development we know this would probably prevent us from publishing the app to Mac App Store.
I think we are missing something obvious. Could you help? :-)

Hello everyone, I have been receiving this same crash report for the past month whenever I try and export a Final Cut Pro project. The FCP video will get to about 88% completion of export, then the application crashes and I get the attached report. Any leads on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Hello Apple Developer Community,
I'm encountering an issue with my macOS application where I'm receiving the following error message:
Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4099 "The connection to service named com.FxPlugTestXPC was invalidated: failed at lookup with error 159 - Sandbox restriction." UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=The connection to service named com.FxPlugTestXPC was invalidated: failed at lookup with error 159 - Sandbox restriction.}
This error occurs when my application tries to establish a connection to an XPC service named com.FxPlugTestXPC. It appears to be related to a sandbox restriction, but I'm unsure how to resolve it.
I've checked the sandboxing entitlements and ensured that the necessary permissions are in place. However, the issue persists.
Has anyone encountered a similar error before? If so, could you please provide guidance on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue?
Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
this is some photos about my entitlements :

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
Hi,
trying to wrap my head around Xcode's FXPlug. I already sell Final Cut Pro titles for a company. These titles were built in motion.
However, they want me to move them to an app and I'm looking for any help on how to accomplish this
*What the app should do is:
Allow users with an active subscription to our website the ability to access titles within FCPX and if they are not an active subscriber, for access to be denied.

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.
I get this in the report:

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
