I ran the Unix "strings" command on the Final Cut Pro binary and it returns some stuff like this:

nextEdit:
previousEdit:
stepForward:
stepBackward:
playPause:

Is there any way that I can tell Final Cut to run these functions while it's running? Could this possibly have to do with NSNotifications? I can't find any Apple Documentation on it.

If I'm going about this the wrong way, is there any way I can programmatically control playback (play/pause/rewind/etc.) in Final Cut?

  • IF there is a mechanism, it is probably through Apple Script. – sarnold Feb 23 '12 at 00:25
  • AppleScript is okay too. There's no public info from Apple, and if you try to open the FCPX AppleScript dictionary with AppleScript editor, nothing happens. – winduptoy Feb 23 '12 at 00:32

Take a look here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6430030

The arguably lame approach is to send keyboard short cuts. Works for me.
