Problem with PF_GetCurrentState() in Premiere Pro

[spiegelball]

I cannot make this work like in AE if I want to get the state of the current layer (index 0). I invoke it like 

A_Time curr_time = { host_time, ae_data.in_data->time_scale };
		A_Time one_frame_dur = { ae_data.in_data->time_step, ae_data.in_data->time_scale };
		suites.ParamUtilsSuite3()->PF_GetCurrentState(ae_data.in_data->effect_ref, 0, &curr_time, &one_frame_dur, &ae_state);

Returns different values on every frame. In PP however I always get the same state. Is it supposed to work in PP?

@shachar carmiDo you have any idea?

sorry, permier is not my strong suite. i can say that the state should be different for every frame if the input layer (or any other layer param) is a video that changes from frame to frame, so even if the param values remain constant the state should change from frame to frame. so i don't know why it would be different in premier.

Thank you for the reply! Where can I raise this bug then?

[shachar carmi]

i'll ping the egineers and write back here with their answer.

Great, thank you!

[shachar carmi]

this is the answer i got. bummer.

PF_GetCurrentState() is not implemented in the Premiere host

if you check the error return code (you should always check and respond to error codes!) it should return

PF_Err_INVALID_CALLBACK

I am not sure an appropriate alternative for the same functionality on the Pr side, hopefully some other adobe person can weigh in here
