How to get sequence_data?

[Guest]

I have a silly question.

I know how to save sequence_data in the plugin. When I take a look into After Effect's project file, my sequence_data is saved in there.

But I really don't know how to read it... Could you help me with that? Didn't find answer after searching through this forum.

you read it pretty much the same way you save it.

you get the sequence_data handle from the in_data, and you cast it to your data structure.

something along the lines of:

//in the header

typedef struct {

     int yo;

     float mama;

} myData;

//in a function

myData *seqData;

seqData = *(myData **)in_data->sequence_data;

//now you can access your data, to either read or write.

seqData->yo = 1;

(don't hold me to the word on the "**" situation on the casting. experiment.)
