Hi Darrin,
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.

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. :)
Thanks!
Darrin
