In the CoreImage Programming guide on the discussion about writing a custom 
filter one of the steps described it to write a custom attributes method called 
"customAttributes". I used as a template of what I needed to do the 
customAttributes method implemented in Apple's sample code for 
AVGreenScreenPlayer and so I have implemented my customAttributes method as 
follows:

- (NSDictionary *)customAttributes
{
   NSDictionary *inputColorProps;
   inputColorProps = @{ kCIAttributeClass : [CIColor class],
                      kCIAttributeDefault : YVSChromaKeyFilterDefaultInputColor,
                         kCIAttributeType : kCIAttributeTypeOpaqueColor };

   NSDictionary *inputDistanceProps;
   inputDistanceProps = @{
                    kCIAttributeClass : [NSNumber class],
                  kCIAttributeDefault : YVSChromaKeyFilterDefaultInputDistance,
                     kCIAttributeType : kCIAttributeTypeDistance };

   NSDictionary *inputSlopeWidthProps = @{
                   kCIAttributeClass : [NSNumber class],
                 kCIAttributeDefault : YVSChromaKeyFilterDefaultInputSlopeWidth,
                    kCIAttributeType : kCIAttributeTypeDistance };

   return @{ kCIInputColorKey : inputColor,
             @"inputDistance" : inputDistanceProps,
           @"inputSlopeWidth" : inputSlopeWidthProps };
}

Nothing else is described as being needed in relation to attributes in the 
CoreImage Programming guide. But when I call where filter is a 
YVSChromaKeyFilter object:

NSDictionary *attribs = [filter attributes];

I get an exception thrown:

)
libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException

So once again, I feel like I'm missing something. Is there something else I 
need to be doing?
