Hi, everyone!.

I have some problem in After Effect SDK.

I'd like to use a thread that is cross platform in plugin.

Is it possible?

If so, How can I use a thread in plugin?

Thanks.

Correct answer

I am not sure I understand your question, to be honest. What exactly are you trying to achieve?

If you are using a C++11 compliant compiler, you can use the cross-platform "std::thread" class in your plugin. Alternatively you could use the "boost::thread" class from the 3rd party boost library or others like native threads (CWinThread on Windows for example) or the pthreads library.

In all cases usage in a plugin is not that much different from using threads in a standalone application and there are lots of example sources and tutorials on the net.
