generally speaking, you obtain one using AEGP_RegisterWithAEGP during global setup, as you only need to get it once.

however, most functions that require an AEGP_PluginID are fine with a NULL instead.

I want to save different frame data for each effect and while rendering I want to show all effects' data.
Currently I'm saving layer mapped frames data, as I get layerId from in_data using AEGP_GetEffectLayer and AEGP_GetLayerID.

Also I am saving an incrementing effectId during sequenceSetup and saving it to sequenceData, However, could not get it in the render function, I get it at all other places except Render.
