Re: render chime when done

Render chime when done:
popular request,
Andreas Keil has writen a script for it:

========================================

A friend of mine asked whether it is possible that FCP plays a sound like AE when rendering is finished. FCP can't.
But there is a simple (though not elegant) AppleScript solution for that.
Open ScriptEditor and paste the below code into a new document:
Quote:

-------------------------------------------------------

tell application "System Events"
tell application process "Final Cut Pro"
set windowList to get name of every window
end tell
end tell

if windowList contains missing value
beep 10
end

quit

-------------------------------------------------------



Save as "application" with a name you like.
Now after you start a render, double click this app or place it into the Dock and just click it. It will try to get all open window names of FCP, but FCP won't respond since it's busy with rendering. When rendering is finished FCP answers with one window missing regarding the initial request, but the script can proceed and will beep 10 times and quit.
You need Universal Access to be activated for this script.

Have fun with it. Maybe if you know a little about AppleScript you may modify the "beep 10" to send you an SMS, email or play the sound of your choice.

Regards
Andreas
