Minutes

Meeting called to order at 11:00am EST.

Technical Matters

•  

  • Bytes param

    • Is now implemented in both Silhouette (host) and Mocha Pro (plug-in)

    • Older versions of Silhouette will not return an error if a plug-in attempts to use a bytes param

    • Paul will add an example plugin, which should set and validate a block of data that has nulls in the middle, and also handle the case when a host doesn't support the bytes param

    • Doc update should mention that the size of the data could be different on each keyframe, and shouldn't be interpolated

    • The bytes param should be mandatory for 1.5, and a host support property is required

  • Colour management:

    • Extensive discussion of the use of OCIO roles in the spec led to a decision that we should stop using the legacy roles, and add a new OFX-specific one for log. J-P to run this past Doug Walker for comment

    • Phil had not realised that the plug-in output colourspace was under the control of the plug-in. This needs a doc update to be clearer - Phil will write a note on the PR with the changes he thinks are needed

  • Metadata:

    • It would be nice to have a property suite v2 with introspection to determine the property type.

    • Paul will rev the spec to add this.

  • Boolean animation:

    • The isSupported property for this should be deprecated because all hosts support it.

Organizational Matters

• J-P found he was unable to edit Confluence to record the minutes. Gary to follow up with John Mertic to make sure at least J-P and Pierre can edit - this has now been fixed.

Misc

Meeting adjourned at 12:00pm EST
