I have been running 103 and 10.2.3 on the same computer, one with mac OS Sierra and the other with OS X El Capitan. Both computers have both version of FCP X on them and I launch and use them without issue, EXCEPT
10.2.3 on Sierra I’ve lost the ability to scrub audio in the inspector.

I understand you on the need for that. I wish I knew that rationale for leaving this feature out. It’s frustrating to have to go to third party apps for certain (what I would think) basic features like batch export. I had hoped for batch syncing and a feature to handle duplicate clips in the browser when moving events/projects between identical libraries, i.e. home and work.

I really thought we’d get something like puppet tool for Motion. Oh well..

Running FCP X 10.3 now and it seems faster. I don’t know. New features are nice. Would have liked batch syncing. Would have liked some clip management features like dealing with duplicates. Would have liked more robust color correction built in. Maybe there’s some hidden gems yet to be discovered. I hope match frame works better. I am sure this is a fantastic update and I’ll love it none the less.

Haven’t figured it out nor gotten a response on this that answers the question.

I used your tool and it did help me resolve one of my custom generator plugins. It was simply a path issue was different between two computers. Once I fixed it, it worked fine.
However what still doesn’t work is sending the XML from one computer to the next, the drop zones in another custom generator I made lose their content on the other computer even though the library (a copy of the original library) has the images for those drop zones.
Would you happen to know if drop zone content is not supported in the XML spec for FCP X? If this is the case, then We can never created generators with drop zones and expect the media to by populated correctly between two computers using XML; even if both computers have copies of the same library.

Thanks for that. I did some more playing with it and looking at your file.

Very nice. Thank you. Doesn’t quite give the same effect, but it’s close. The image I sent doesn’t seem to have an outline like that, but is more pressed in. This is very easy to do in Photoshop. I was hoping to be able to simulate this in Motion, but it seems no capable to provide that real inner shadow effect the same way.

That’s the directory I put all of my custom made generators in on work, home, and laptop computers. Why would it not work on one computer, but work on the other two though?
I will take a look at your software.
It’d be nice if one could right-click the generator and have a reveal in Finder option to see where it’s trying to look. Another alternative is to reconnect missing generators and effects the way we do video and audio, but that’s not an option either.

A trick I created years ago from the headache of doing credit scrolls yet making sure that several people (producers and editors) have access to the credits file on a shared network drive or server:
- Create a Text Edit document in custom HD size and length as needed.
- Type credits in with the size font you want, formatting and all. Editors, producers, or anyone else can contribute which is great because the non-editing staff that have credits information will not have FCP X or Motion
- Export the document as PDF (or PDF-X)
- Import the document into FCP X (or Motion if you prefer)
- Apply an invert filter to make the white background black and black text white
- Apply 0.2 Gaussian blur (if needed)
- Create your start and end scroll keyframes
Done
Duplicate text edit file for next project. Remove credits, change doc length. What nice is the original credits stay in a basic text document format that many computer apps can open, various people can access and is not walled off by Motion and or FCP X.
