Previews for Animation Libraries in Automation Blocks

I want to create an Animation Library with the keyframes library feature and was thinking that it would be nice if we could create some kind of grid with previews for every animation in our libraries, that way it would look nicer and be easier to use or identify our presets.

an extendscript panel can sho images. perhaps it can also show gifs and videos, i never checked...

CEP and UPX panels can surely display such elements, and communicate with AE directly on a click event.

if you want to explore this direction, you could write an ExtendScript panel and execute it from within Automation Blocks using the Execute Code block.

You could create a webpage which shows the previews of your animations along with their names and then link this webpage in your block scripts using the Open Web Page block . The user can then select one of the block scripts and click the "Help" button of the Automation Blocks library to open that link conveniently.
