Drop Zones Freezing in FCPX with multiple 3rd party plugins

I am running FCPX 10.0.6 and just noticed something. When using my Crumplepop Effects Generator plugin 'Split Screen' the applied clips in my split screens either freeze the length of the effect or only play intermittently.
Same thing is now happening in the drop zones of my MotionVFX templates. Even if I go back to an older project that was previously working fine, it now has issues. In one instance a template with 4 drops zones - the first plays fine but now the remaining 3 the dropped in clips are frozen.
I figured maybe a recent FCPX update caused this. Any ideas?

Thanks for the info.
Here is the reply I received from CrumplePop:
Sorry for the trouble with SplitScreen X! In Final Cut Pro 10.0.6 there is a brand new workflow for adding content to Drop Zones. This means there are a few new things to learn to use SplitScreen X in 10.0.6. Also there are a few bugs to watch out for. We have a new tutorial about using SplitScreen in 10.0.6 on our website here: http://www.crumplepop.com/final-cut-pro-tutorials/
Just incase you want to see written out steps I have included some below.  
Adding Content to SplitScreen X from the Event Library:
- Add the SplitScreen X generator you wish to use to the timeline.
- Move the playhead to the location you will want your clip to start on the timeline, usually this is the first frame of the SplitScreen X Generator.
- Once your playhead is set, click the image well for the Drop zone you wish to place your clip in.
- Then in the event browser move the cursor to the "in point" of the clip you want to place in SplitScreen X and click. After you have selected the frame you wish to be your inpoint, hit the "Apply clip" at the bottom of the viewer.
Adding Content to SplitScreen X from the Timeline.
- Add the SplitScreen X generator you wish to use to the timeline.
- Select the clips you wish to place into SplitScreen X and time them out on the timeline. 
- Highlight the first clip you wish to add into SplitScreen X and then right click and select "create compound clip." repeat this with the other clips that will be placed in SplitScreen X.
- Move the playhead to the location you want your compound clip to start in SplitScreen X on the timeline, usually this is the first frame of the SplitScreen X Generator.
- Once your playhead is set, click the image well for the Drop zone you wish to place your clip in.
- Then move the cursor to the first frame of the Compound Clip on the timeline and click. Repeat this process for all of the drop zones and clips then click "Apply Clip"
- Once the Compound Clips are all placed into SplitScreen X you can disable them by highlighting and pressing the "v" key.
- *Note* If you open up a Compound Clip that you placed in SplitScreen X you can make color correction changes or drag on effects and your changes will appear in the SplitScreen X Generator in real time!
SplitScreen X in 10.0.6 Known Issues:
- If you try to add a clip from the timeline before making it a Compound Clip it will not be timed properly in your SplitScreen X generator.
- Sometimes changes made to Compound Clips don't display properly in the first few frames of your SplitScreen X Generator. However, there is an easy fix. Try moving the starting point of the SplitScreen X Generator over just one frame, this should correct the issue. "

  • JMS to communicate with multiple 3rd party systems

    Hi,
    I'm fairly new to JMS and I need to build a system where I communicate with several third party systems through JMS.
    Basically what I need is some sort of synchronous message system, as I need the result to display on my webpage.
    In this scenario, I was wondering what is the most common design here, in terms of queues or topics.
    Would it be normal for each system to have a input and output queue, or is it more practical that I provide a outbound topic and an inbouw queue that these systems could use?
    I know how I can set this up, but I just wanted to ask if it is normal practice to ask a third party to connect to your own JMS system, rather than connecting to their queue/topic?
    Thanks,
    Steven

  • Cineform and other 3rd party plugins for Creative Cloud, what happened to them?

    Hi I don't want to panic but I just downloaded Adobe Premiere CC and it's telling me that I've rendered my previous project with a 3rd party plugin that isn't available. What is the process of installing my 3rd party plugins to premiere so I can edit with Blackmagic codecs, Cineform, and multiple others I have enjoyed using in CS6.

    I followed the instructions from the Cineform site as given by scarolan_CS4 (thanks for that).
    http://support.cineform.com/entries/24336007-A-Do-It-Yourself-Guide-to -adding-CineForm-support-in-Adobe-CC-Windows-
    Works like a charm.
    The only issues I have are:
    Cineform plugs (except for levels) don't work. But they didn't work on CS5.5 and CS6 either - plus cá change.
    I'm getting the 'saving metadata' when closing PP error back - I'd forgotten how I'd dealt with that, switched something off in prefs, if I remember (more internet searching!) This wasn't happening before I copied the Cineform directories to their CC locations, so I suspect it's related in some way.
    The editing presets and the rendering presets all work fine.
    ======================================
    I've also had good luck with other 3rd party plugins. I created a junction type link from C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\CS6\MediaCore to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\7.0\MediaCore. The default mediacore directory is empty so this works, but I copied across 3rd party directories and files in the individual plugin folders for PP and AE as there are default Adobe files in there which may be different from CS6 to CC.
    Note that I also created a junction from Photoshop 64 plugins for CS6 to CC and this also works a treat.
    Just thought I'd mention it to show that it can work, I'm chuffed that it does as I was anticipating a system OS install to enable plugins to work and to keep 15-20% of my system SSD free.
    If this junction stuff is too complicated (and you don't mind having two sets of the same files or deleting the older versions) just copy the plugin and relevant settings files instead. I assume this will work, although I haven't specifically tested it myself.
    You can find free utilities to create junction links for Windows or this can be done via the command line. I forget the name of the utility I use, it works via the context menu. I have found that junction tends to work better than symbolic linking or other types of file 'aliasing' for most of my fumbling about with this solution.
    This stuff sounds more complicated than it is, once someone has given the steps to take and you have installed the junction/symbolic linking utility it's just a matter of following the steps.
    EDIT - I (re-)found the solution to the
    Metadata. Metadata writing in progress (n files pending)
    error -
    Go to Edit>Preferences>Media and uncheck Write XMP ID to Files on Import (thanks to Jim Simon on this forum for this).

  • Flickering graphics in Logic - especially 3rd party plugins

    I see a lot of people reporting (myself included) "flickering" of graphics in Logic, especially in 3rd party plugins so I decided to post a video of it occurring. Is this a "known issue"? I will be reporting it to Apple, and I hope everyone else experiencing it will do the same. Please watch the video and provide any input that you might have. Thanks!
    https://youtu.be/y_G0Q8J2Egw

    Hi Clancy,
    Could it be related to a Retina display?
    Possibly... but as you know, I cannot test for that as i don't have a Retina display... (and frankly I'm not sure I want one at this time ) and I could recreate it on a standard screen using the same 3rd party plugin as the OP used... so i think it isn't specifically a Retina issue but... maybe retina 'enhances' the problem because of the extra load placed on the Graphical hardware/routines
    So...
    Is the OP is using a Retina display with his Mac Pro?
    I suspect however, given the video he posted, demonstrating the issue occurring with the PSP MasterQ2 plugin...that it's only happening with some 3rd party plugins.... (as again he stated "especially with 3rd party plugins" which really might mean... only with.. depending on how you 'translate' that) and therefore my comments earlier.
    Finally while the number of posts about this issue is actually rather small ( as far as i can determine from some detailed searching at least).... the thread on GS seems to indicate it's been going on since early versions of LPX and is related to Yosemite rather than LPX itself...
    https://www.gearslutz.com/board/logic-pro-x/987219-logic-10-1-0-crazy-flashing-g raphics-plugins.html
    ...and some people have been reporting the same sort of flickering issues with other 3rd party apps and also plugins for apps like Aperture for example... after upgrading to 10.10... again indicating its a general Yosemite issue rather than a specific app issue.

  • Can I set "open with" for files - associate file types with a 3rd party app

    I have PDF file attachments inside my OmniFocus application. When I double-tap them, they get opened in the standard Apple PDF viewer. But I have a better 3rd-party app which opens PDFs and allows me to edit them (mark them up) - I'd like the attachments to open in this app instead of the normal PDF viewer. I don't want to have to switch to the 3rd party app to open it - it's important to me that I can place comments on many, many PDFs inside of OmniFocus. So:
    1) is it possible to ask the iPad to have all PDFs to open in this 3rd party app?
    2) if not, is it possible to name the attachments some other extension (e.g., .xyz) and tell it to open all .xyz files with the 3rd-party PDF viewer?
    thanks in advance,
    Mike

    just out of curiosity: how did you see this without buying the app - is there some general way to get a trial from the App Store?
    When You view the features of the app in the app store, there are pictures of some of the different screens under the main description of the app. I swiped through the pictures and the fourth photo shows a screen - An image in the black box pointing to the image name - roots.jpg. In the window to the right - it says -Action - at the top - in the grey border. I wouldn't have known that the arrow didn't give the same functionality as it does when you open the PDF in Mail. But I was able to see the trash can, the curved arrow and the blue done button on the right. I never heard of the app until we started to posting. Unless the app specifies that there is a free trial period, there is no way that I know to try an app for free.
    The thing that I find odd is that you say the arrow is greyed out making that feature unavailable. That arrow icon on the iPad in Safari or Mail is what directs you to the options for - open in, print, email, etc features on the iPad. I assume that arrow must have some functionality somewhere in the app. Not sure why it is greyed out. But I stress, I know nothing about the features of the app or what it is designed to do.

  • When I install OS 10.6 will iMovie 6 still be compatible along with the 3rd party plug ins?

    When I install OS 10.6 -Snow Leopard-will iMovie 6 still be compatible along with the 3rd party plug ins?
    Also, Firefox says Apple no longer supports OS 10.5 as far as security goes.  Now what do I do?
    I like to use both Safari and firefox.

    iMovie 6 works just fine, even in 10.8. The plug-ins may not work in 10.7 and 10.8 as most use PPC code.

  • Crashes with 3rd party plugins

    I am loving the functionality of MS, but these crashes are getting really embarrassing, especially amongst my PC loving band members. I have the new unibody MBP with 4gb ram. Everything is great and solid while performing. I never get any clicks or pops while playing. All of my crashes occur when changing patches within a concert. It does seem to be more directly related to the patches containing 3rd party plugins, such as Kontakt 3, or Kore 2. It also seems to be only the sample based patches.

    Ok, so it looks like there are problems with the new MBP's running more than 3GB's of ram. If I pull out my 2x2gig sticks and put in the original 2x1gig sticks, it runs fine and never crashes. I bought the ram from OWC. I will be sending it back, but in the meantime I am not sure that I trust their ram. It is made (or distributed) by Nanya. I don't know if the problem is with the ram, or if it is a problem with NI product running in Mainstage, or if it is a problem with the new MBP running 4gigs of ram. We shall see.

  • Disk Doctor Fails, S.M.A.R.T , anyway to fix with a 3rd party utility?

    On my server, I get a Disk Doctor Fails, S.M.A.R.T , anyway to fix with a 3rd party utility?
    Thanks

    If you're looking for help testing the Disk Doctor diagnostic tool, then you'll need to work with those folks and with the particular details of the SMART data being returned from the disk you're working with; the former and contents of the SMART data can vary by vendor. 
    But given you're using a disk diagnostic and posting here, I'll assume that you're having I/O problems, and the "fix" is to replace the drive. 
    If you're working with a dual-disk Mac Mini Server with software RAID enabled, the data can be recovered from the mirror.
    If you don't have a current backup and don't have mirroring enabled and need some data off the disk that's reporting SMART errors, then you may end up working with a disk data recovery package, or a data recovery firm.  (I wouldn't spend much time attempting this, too, as performing disk verifications and related activities on a questionable or failing disk can reduce the chances of recovering the remaining disk data.)

  • 3rd Party Plugins compatible with CS4

    Is there a list of 3rd party plugins which will work in Photoshop CS4 Extended?  I am thinking - in particular - of Blade Pro, Filter Factory, KPT 3 & 5, Sinedot and Super Blade Pro.

    I guess the best way to get the latest information is to visit each manufacturer's web site.

  • CS4 and 3rd party plugins - icons disappear

    I'm having problems with CS4 on Vista 64bit with 3rd party plugins. I'm aware that 64bit issues exist but even on the 32bit CS4 Photoshop's toolbar icons disappear once Nik, OnOne etc are installed. I've left CS2 installed as well on the same system and this works fine.
    This could be a problem with for the 3rd party developers of course but obviously CS4 has changed something.
    I have Vista 64bit with 8gb RAM. Disabling the GPU functions doesn't help nor does running CS4 in XP compatibility mode. Removing the plug ins is the only way to resolve the problem.
    Just wondering if anyone else has hit this problem and even better found a solution to it.

    I think I can recall the behavior being confirmed for Nik and they are working on a fix/ update. The situation may be the same for other tools/ vendors, so you'll probably have to live with it for a moment or resort to using older versions of PS...

  • Possible to control 3rd party plugin/palette?

    Is it possible to write something (JavaScript/COM programming/plugin) that has access to a 3rd party plugin/palette? I'm talking about XMPie uDirect. XMPie doesn't offer an official API for the plugin but I want to invoke a special action automatically that can be accessed only by the plugin's InDesign palette. I want some kind of automation.

    This won't work, sorry. The palette cannot be controlled through the menus... except showing/hiding it.
    I got the same idea with system events. It would be great to have a program that sniffs system events and gives information when I press a special button in the InDesign palette. The 3rd party plugin should be a kind of library like DLL that exports functions. Does anybody know a program that can monitor InDesign.exe with all its sub-processes, DLL handles and called DLL functions?
    [Edit:] I tried a DLL viewer which can open and show XMPie's plugin files XMPBackEnd5.apln and XMPFrontEnd5.apln (APLN = InDesign PlugIn). They seem to be normal DLL files. If anybody knows the secrets of "decrypting" DLLs it would be nice to know if this can help me. I need to invoke the plugin's commands for XMPie's "Dynamic Print" (new dialog opens) and then just confirm with "OK" to start the export.

  • Trying to load 3rd party plugins in Main Stage

    I'm trying to load 3rd party plugins in Main Stage. I get as far as creating a new channel strip.

Can anybody walk me through doing this function?

    Hi,
    you might try a macro / keyboard recorder. I use autohotkey (www.autohotkey.com). If you have selected one or more items in the grid view and press ctrl-shift-n this script:
    ;LR Start external editor #7
    ^+n::
    #IfWinActive Adobe Photoshop Lightroom
    Send {RButton}
    Send {Down 8}
    Send {Right}
    Send {Down 7}
    Send {Enter}
    return
    opens the files in the 7th external editor. Of course the number depends on your installed editors and might change with additional editors.

  • Disabling all 3rd party plugins on an OSX user?

    Hey there,
    Long time no see. I'm rolling out a college motion graphics program and have hit a snag on our computer configuration. We have individual OSX user logins for each class and are using the CS5.5 Production bundle. We have a few 3rd party plugin packages installed (such as Trapcode Suite, Keying Suite, Magic Bullet Suite, etc.) and I would LOVE to disable/hide those on the account for the intro class.
    Are there any straight-forward options that I'm not thinking of? I've done lots of searching but am not coming up with much.
    Thanks!!!
    -steven

    Just for fun I moved my Trapcode plug-ins from the Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/MediaCore directory to a new folder under my Rick User account I called AdobePlugins.
    I changed the premissions of this folder so that other users would not be able to see the folder by setting no access for everyone. I then created an alias for the Trapcode plug-ins and moved the alias back to the original location. I then switched users and it worked. No access to the trapcode plug-ins from the other user.
    This was on a Mac OSX Lion 10.7. It's kind of a hack, and the uninstallers and installers won't like it much, but so far it seems to be working. I don't know if something like this would work for Windows, but I do know that Aliases work there too. Give it a shot at your own risk.
