| "don't know how many people would be interested in it"
Hey Darrin,
If you google for FxScript then total up all the number of unique developers then thats probably a fair estimate of how many people would be interested. Don't if that would actually come to a big number but probably not that much smaller than the total number of major plugin developers? Albeit not what you were polling, but please add my vote for both of Patrick's suggestions.
Keyframe API by the way ... also good!
Thanks as always. Andy

Duly noted. I've thought about this before, but don't know how many
people would be interested in it. I will keep it in mind, though.

While I can think of all kinds of fun things one could do with
access to this data (smoothing, etc), what I really need in FxPlug
support is a library of routines that provide the functionality
available in FxScript. I realize this is something that big time
developers probably don't need, but to the "casual" developer such
as myself - I just don't have the resources to write a huge library
containing blur routines/keying routines/blend mode routines/etc...
In fact, I really see no reason that there couldn't be a FxScript to
FxPlug compiler... That would aid migration ENORMOUSLY.
I understand that you're largely geared to supporting the big
developers, but thought I'd put my 2ยข in...

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.

tion. I'm hoping we'll be able to implement it, but first we have
to design it and discuss it. :)
Thanks!
