Looks pretty good. Once you have a full build put together I will test it out on the quad-Macs at school. Is it safe to assume that this will only work on Intel-based Macs? Or just any OS X build?

Also, you say that you're working with AVS. Does that mean that there'll need to be new AVS Import plug-ins for Premiere and FCP?

Crossover is a WINE derivative, which means it's a windows emulator of sorts (although in fact WINE stands for WINE Is Not A Windows Emulator). According to Crossover's own documentation, it will only run on Intel-based Macs. I have a PPC as well, so I'll test it out, but I see no reason that Crossover would be mistaken.

At this time, I don't have an answer to the question. Experience thus far tells me a new premiere plugin should not be needed, that the old one should call AVS the same way as it does on windows, but a way to implement AVS for FCP would indeed need to be created. When I am at that testing point, I will update everyone.

If you hold up, I'll place them in a .dmg, still trying to figure out the plugin issue.

Crossover can be found here.

Just install AMVApp is you normally would; except for the AVS Premiere plugin. It apparently is not in the proper format for use with Mac Premiere.

Mac premiere as in 6.5 Mac version or the crossover'd premiere?

Mac CS3 in this case. I am installing the windows version of 6.5 now. I never even considered trying to install the plugin to Mac 6.5, but I'd have to search around for my copy of it. I had windows 6.5 about three feet away.

hadn't realized they made CS3 for macs... test it with crossover... the plugin should work. It worked under WINE on my Ubuntu box IIRC.

As I mentioned to brad, The only way you could get avisynth support in FCP would be if there was already a working avisynth in mac osx already... otherwise, it wouldn't work anyway.

The only foreseeable way it could remotely work is if you make a plugin that talks to crossover and can load the aviysnth library... but I don't think you can do that. I've never looked at the source code (maybe i should) for the avs plugin so I don't even know how that one works...

Well, I tried 6.5, but it did not work. Tells me it failed to load avisynth.dll, please reinstall avisynth. Do you think I should?

yea... are you using the 6.5 plugin and not the pro one?

I looked at the source code (really old version of it) and it actually looks pretty simple.
