how about iLife 06?
yesterday (10-jan-06) apple released a new version
of iLife. as was expected, this new iLife contains a new version of iMovie. the
question you may ask yourself is this: are our (cf/x) plug-ins compatible with
the new iLife?
we do not know. apple is very
secretive about upcoming products, and does not let (small) outside developers
in on what is going on. Apple's developer support still has the same SDK
(software development kit) posted (which was posted in june of 2003). this leads
us to believe that yes, the plug-ins may work with iLife. they will not very
likely work with the new intel macs, though. we know this because a tech note
states that a native (intel) application cannot use PowerPC plug-ins. we are
also not very encouraged by the growing carbon/coca compatibility problems that
plague more and more plug-ins.
our own
porting efforts have progressed slowly, but we are not at a point where we have
a single plug-in running on an intel machine.
