I'm ccing Jason, who wrote the animated preset code for AE. This the reason we need this feature, although we could probably find other uses for it down the road. Jason, ' You are much better placed than I to answer Darrin's question in more detail. Thanks. At 11:43 AM -0700 4/24/09, Darrin Cardani wrote: It was great to see several of you at NAB this week! I hope you all had a great time and made a lot of money. :) In talking with 3rd party developers about the future of the FxPlug API, one thing that came up repeatedly was the need for an API that allows access to the app's keyframe data. I'd like to hear from you what you want out of such an API. I'm looking at After Effects' AEGP_KeyframeSuite as a reference, and I'm wondering if it provides you with what you need, or if you feel anything is missing from it, or if you find it too cumbersome? (For example, there's an AEGP_InsertKeyframe () function which appears to tell the app there's a new keyframe, but doesn't actually set the keyframe's value. Then there's also the AEGP_StartAddKeyframes () function which appears to tell the app that there will be new keyframes, but again doesn't actually allow you to set their values. Seems a little convoluted.) Anyway, please share your ideas here on the list or with me privately. And I should say that this in no way guarantees that such a thing will make it into any future version of any particular application. I'm hoping we'll be able to implement it, but first we have to design it and discuss it. :) This email sent to emilet@borisfx.com "The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function."
