Question

Looking for an AE plugin developer to help execute an idea for a plugin I have

While working in AE, I noticed in one instance that an expression didn't work as I expected it to do, and the workaround was a bit too complicated to be easily used. I recently got an idea for a simple control-like plugin that would help solving the issue for me and everyone else. Downloaded the SDK, because I have some experience in programming C#, but now I am overwhelmed because a lot of things there goes over my head, also it's in C++, a language I haven't programmed in before.

I am hereby looking for plugin developer that can assist me execute the idea. I have not decided the business model for this plugin, but it will either be distributed as freeware or sold for a low price. I do not know if someone has already executed my idea, but since I can't find what I am looking for I want this plugin to be a reality anyway.

If you are interested in teaming up and discussing this idea, hit me on saddex136@gmail.com.

Have you looked into scripting?  See the scripting resources here:

Scripts can manipulate expressions.  The CS6 Scripting Guide is the latest full doc.  Search for "expression" in there.

I figured my idea could help others as well, otherwise, yeah, scripting works too.

Hi Saddex,

if your plugin's a 'control' one (like expression controls?), it should be easy to do just by modifying the skeleton sample from the SDK.

What do you exactly want to do?

Cheers,

François
