a whole week down the drain
for a week now we have tried to get our QuickTime
movie media core to work with iMovie. the problem that is haunting chromakey and
multiple movies is now in full sight. somewhere in QuickTime, there is an ugly
bug, and for a whole week now we have tried to program around it. the problem is
during application of the plug-in: iMovie calls the plug-in three times
concurrently: once to apply to the plug-in, once to create a thumbnail for the
clip, and once to create the preview. and QuickTime really, doesn't like that,
crashing badly.
after coming up with a
series of brilliant, but in the end ineffective work-arounds, we have for the
moment conceded the ground to the bug, and turned our attention to other
plug-ins that need porting. but we will get this one sorted out.
