Less SDK restrictions to plug-ins developpers

Plug-in add ons is a good idea, but the section look desperately empty.
Many companies and developers, willing to develop plugs-in for Capture One, after contacting them are deploring a too restrictive access to SDK developer kit. I could think of Loupedeck, Monogram or Negative Lab Pro.

I understand the "secret" that are protected by this politic, but why these companies, with an affiliate registration for exemple, could not have access to more of the SDK, or requested parts, to develop great companion to C1?

  Hi Leo,

  Thank you for this post.

  I would suggest you to contact the department that handles everything related to plug-ins here - https://www.captureone.com/en/partnerships/plug-ins

  I've seconded this by asking this same question to the plug-ins people. I have zero insight into why Capture One develops a nice piece of software then hobbles it by treating all the companies that would provide the associated integration for their customers like thieves in the night. It's bizarre.

  I agree.

  I have access to good programming skills and can define the required plugins but the SDK is very weak as it provides no classes for allowing the development of meaningful plugins e.g. Channel Mixer, Borders, Frames, Mattes functionality.
