Trigger SequenceFlatten And Resetup

[Veena2411]

Is there a way to trigger SequenceFlatten and SequenceResetup using SDK.
If not, can I flatten sequence_data anywhere else except the SequenceFlatten.

well... sequence flatten is called on numerous occasions, such as the project saving or the effect being copied. perhpas you can fore a flattening by emulating a copy operation? other than that, AE decides when it's time for both calls and there's no way for requesting a call of either.

Hey @shachar carmi Thanks for your response.
How can I emulate a copy operation programmatically.
Thanks

i doubt it's a valid solution for you, as it's very cumbersome. you'll need to select you effect using the AEGP_NewCollection, and then trigger a copy using AEGP_DoCommand with command number 10313.

that will trigger a copy, buy it would also:
1. change the user's project items selection. you can change it back, but there are bound to be exceptions and problems.

2. you purge the user's current clipboard by this copy operation.

both these issues are guaranteed to make users furious...
