Combine few effects into one

[vahabs418073]

Hi to all adobe users

Is there a way to manipulate few .aex into one .aex and use one controller set for them.

(I know psoude but I rather not using it, because with psoude my original effects are exposed to the user, which I don't want that.)

I would like to use after effect sdk to solve the issue.

Thank you .

Hi Vahab,

This is not possible using the After Effects API.  You could make a controller plug-in, but the original effects will be visible to the user.

well... if you're comfortable exploring the dark arts, you could try the

"dll necromancy" described in this thread:

if it works, you can load any number of effects invisibly... (but it's not

going to be easy or fun)

Zac Thank you for your quick respond

Then could you tell me how the UNIVERSAL effect from RedGiant been made, I believe they got advantage from after effects native effects to build something like UNIVERSAL VHS or so on.

From what I understand, Universe is built using video processing technology that Red Giant has created over the years, folded into their proprietary toolkit Supernova.
