iMovie10 supports plug-ins created with Motion5

ok, first of all:

You signed on first launch of iMovie to accept the Terms Of Use… which, somewhere, mentions, you are using this software 'as is'.

ANY manipulations to its internals violates this ToU!


So, I'm just talking academic here, and I will NOT share here the process in detail. I found the idea on the net, smarter people like me had found it. But as a long-time contributor on this board, mentioned as one of the 'Top Participants' in this community, I feel the obligation, to share this insight:

as you can see here…

a) my handmade, own Motion5 title appears in iM10 Titles browser

b) it shows the generic preview icon as any M5 effect

c) you can apply it to the project

d) it works…

Haven't had the time to dig any deeper; the part of iMovie, which is 'in charge' for plugins, is even localized:

… and lists the many 'effects' tabs of iMovie10…

I haven't tested yet, what is all 'allowed', what works, what not.


AGAIN: This is just a 'proof of concept'!

If you like to try on your own, be aware of what you do!


Finally:

Goiod News!

… opens the door for 3rd-party plug-ins/add-ons/themes!

(one of the Top 3 on my wishlist)

ooops?

here: dl, installed, done.


too much, too many Events&Projects?

(just asking, appleman is a busy movie-maker 😉 )


On first launch, when being asked to update my data-base, I selected 'later'.

So, I started with an 'empty' version = flawless, including my lil' 'hack'/experiment.-
