I'm developing a Final Cut Pro X workflow extension that transcribes audio and creates a text output. I need to allow users to drag this text directly from my extension into FCPX's timeline as titles. Current Implementation: Using NSFilePromiseProvider as per Apple's guidelines for drag and drop Generating valid FCPXML (v1.10) with proper structure: Complete resources section with format and asset references Event and project hierarchy Asset clip with connected title elements Proper timing and duration calculations Supporting multiple pasteboard types: com.apple.finalcutpro.xml.v1-10 com.apple.finalcutpro.xml.v1-9 com.apple.finalcutpro.xml What's Working: Drag operation initiates correctly File promise provider is set up properly FCPXML generation is successful (verified content) All required pasteboard types are registered Proper logging confirms data is being requested and provided Current Pasteboard Types Offered: com.apple.NSFilePromiseItemMetaData com.apple.pasteboard.promised-file-name com.apple.pasteboard.promised-suggested-file-name com.apple.pasteboard.promised-file-content-type Apple files promise pasteboard type com.apple.pasteboard.NSFilePromiseID com.apple.pasteboard.promised-file-url com.apple.finalcutpro.xml.v1-10 com.apple.finalcutpro.xml.v1-9 com.apple.finalcutpro.xml What additional requirements or considerations are needed to make FCPX accept the dragged FCPXML content? Are there specific requirements for workflow extensions regarding drag and drop operations with titles that aren't documented? Any insights, especially from those who have implemented similar functionality in FCPX workflow extensions, would be greatly appreciated. Technical Details: macOS Version: 15.5 (24F74) FCPX Version: 11.1.1 Extension built with SwiftUI and AppKit integration Using NSFilePromiseProvider and NSPasteboardItemDataProvider Full pasteboard type support for FCPXML versions

Hello, I'm Soonwon. We’re currently developing a UVC camera device and trying to stream MJPEG video via AVFoundation on macOS. However, we’re running into a problem with custom resolutions. When we try to use AVFoundation on macOS to capture MJPEG video at 1000x6000, the stream is not accepted or simply doesn’t work. Lower resolutions work fine. (Interestingly, using the same device on iPadOS, we can capture the 1000x6000 MJPEG stream successfully by using AVCaptureSessionPresetInputPriority.) Is there any way to receive custom-resolution MJPEG streams (like 1000x6000) from a UVC device using AVFoundation on macOS? Are there specific session presets, entitlements, or known limitations that affect MJPEG handling at custom resolutions on macOS? Does macOS handle MJPEG differently from iPadOS in AVFoundation? Any insight or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! NSError *error = nil; if ([selectedDevice lockForConfiguration:&error]) { [session beginConfiguration]; session.sessionPreset = AVCaptureSessionPresetHigh; bool foundFormat = false; for (AVCaptureDeviceFormat *format in selectedDevice.formats) { CMVideoDimensions dims = CMVideoFormatDescriptionGetDimensions(format.formatDescription); FourCharCode pixelFormat = CMFormatDescriptionGetMediaSubType(format.formatDescription); foundFormat = true; if (dims.width == 1000 && dims.height == 6000) { selectedDevice.activeFormat = format; foundFormat = true; break; } } if(foundFormat == false) { NSLog(@"Failed to foundFormat : "); [session commitConfiguration]; return false; } NSError* error = nil; AVCaptureDeviceInput* input = [AVCaptureDeviceInput deviceInputWithDevice:selectedDevice error:&error]; if (error || ![session canAddInput:input]) { NSLog(@"Failed to add video input: %@", error.localizedDescription); [session commitConfiguration]; return false; } [session addInput:input]; AVCaptureVideoDataOutput* output = [[AVCaptureVideoDataOutput alloc] init]; output.alwaysDiscardsLateVideoFrames = YES; output.videoSettings = @{ (NSString*)kCVPixelBufferPixelFormatTypeKey : @(kCVPixelFormatType_420YpCbCr8BiPlanarVideoRange) }; [output setSampleBufferDelegate:delegate queue:queue]; if ([session canAddOutput:output]) { [session addOutput:output]; } [session commitConfiguration]; [selectedDevice unlockForConfiguration]; } else { NSLog(@"Failed to lock device for configuration: %@", error.localizedDescription); } // start~

I'm working on a media app that would like to be able to tell if the TV connected to tvOS is running at 59.94hz or 60.00hz, so it can optimize a video stream. It looks like the best I can currently do is to check if the user has Match Content Rate enabled, and based on that, when calling displayManager.preferredDisplayCriteria to change video modes, I could guess which rate their TV might be in. It's not very ideal, because not all TVs support both of these rates, and my request for 59.94 might end up as 60 and vice versa. I dug around and can't find any available method in UIScreen to get this info. The odd thing is, the data is right there in currentMode when I look in the debugger, but it seems to be in a private or undocumented class. Is there any way to get at it?

Hello, I'm trying to subscribe to AVPlayerItem status updates using Combine and it's bridge to Swift Concurrency – .values. This is my sample code. struct ContentView: View { @State var player: AVPlayer? @State var loaded = false var body: some View { VStack { if let player { Text("loading status: \(loaded)") Spacer() VideoPlayer(player: player) Button("Load") { Task { let item = AVPlayerItem( url: URL(string: "https://sample-videos.com/video321/mp4/360/big_buck_bunny_360p_5mb.mp4")! ) player.replaceCurrentItem(with: item) let publisher = player.publisher(for: \.status) for await status in publisher.values { print(status.rawValue) if status == .readyToPlay { loaded = true break } } print("we are out") } } } else { Text("No video selected") } } .task { player = AVPlayer() } } } After I click on the "load" button it prints out 0 (as the initial status of .unknown) and nothing after – even when the video is fully loaded. At the same time this works as expected (loading status is set to true): struct ContentView: View { @State var player: AVPlayer? @State var loaded = false @State var cancellable: AnyCancellable? var body: some View { VStack { if let player { Text("loading status: \(loaded)") Spacer() VideoPlayer(player: player) Button("Load") { Task { let item = AVPlayerItem( url: URL(string: "https://sample-videos.com/video321/mp4/360/big_buck_bunny_360p_5mb.mp4")! ) player.replaceCurrentItem(with: item) let stream = AsyncStream { continuation in cancellable = item.publisher(for: \.status) .sink { if $0 == .readyToPlay { continuation.yield($0) continuation.finish() } } } for await _ in stream { loaded = true cancellable?.cancel() cancellable = nil break } } } } else { Text("No video selected") } } .task { player = AVPlayer() } } } Is this a bug or something?

I'm seeking to a specific sync frame in a video file (HEVC, recorded on iPad). When I feed the buffers from that sync frame on to VTDecompressionSession it consistently drops the 2.,3.,4. buffer with a kVTVideoDecoderReferenceMissingErr (or no error but no buffer on the simulator). If I feed all the buffers from the penultimate sync frame prior to the desired frame the buffers come out fine but that would just create a massive overhead to always do it. Tried multiple OS versions, devices etc. Seems a consistent problem. Here's a sample project with the offending video (disregard memory handling etc): https://github.com/marcuseckert/vtSample I've filed a radar FB18228296 but would appreciate any feedback on circumventing or at least detecting this behavior prior to decoding.

Hi All. I'm working on Single-Sign-On feature in my application to let customers sign into their TV Provider. I need to add Video Subscriber SSO entitlement (com.apple.developer.video-subscriber-single-sign-on) to the app, but I found out that it's a special entitlement, need to contact Apple to enable it for my Apple account. On https://developer.apple.com/account I navigated to Support -> Contact Us -> Development and Technical -> Entitlements and ask in the email about missing entitlement (ticket ID 102478794279). The support team couldn't help me, they redirected me to the operations team. I've been waiting for a few months now but they inform me to keep waiting. Is there a better way to contact Apple and get Video Subscriber SSO entitlement in an efficient way?

I have beet taking images from the iOS video camera feed and have encountered an issue. When you take images form the wideCamera this consumes about half the phone's CPU. The same is not the case when you take images from the telephotoCamera video stream. Is there a way of disabling the extra processing that is being done?
