After Effects Python API

[Trenton5EC4]

Hey all! 

I'm kind of a madman and I've finally gotten a pretty good release going for my new plugin--

You can write extensions entirely in python using any GUI framework, script in python, run from a separate process, etc. This is NOT a wrapper around extendscript, but around the c++ SDK.

You can check it out and find installation instructions on github here:
https://github.com/Trentonom0r3/PyShiftAE/releases/tag/1.0.1

There's extensive documentation, so hopefully things are simple to set up!

More details in the README, but you can run a simple

pip install PyShiftAE

to get the ball rolling.

Wow! That's really interesting. GJ

Can't believe someone else than Adobe has to spend this huge effort to come up with a Python API. 
Thank you!

Ten years too late for me, but interesting for sure.

Awsome, man! my deepest appreciation for both execution and open source approach!

This is amazing! Thanks for creating this!
I am not sure how a professional tool that is supposed to be used in Film and advertising doesn't have an industry standard python API like most other tools in the industry.

It sounds awesome!

I've followed the installation instructions, installed the whell and the plugin but when I start AE, shows this error alert:

"After Effects error: Couldn't find main entry point for PyShiftAE.aex
(48::72)"
