Field_Aware_Video_Filter is not working

[smarts19193560]

Hi, All!.

I am developing some premiere pro plugins.

SDK: CC 2015

Development Tool: visual studio 2015

I am checking in Premiere Pro cc 2017 and cc 2018

By the way Simple_Video_Filter is working, but Field_Aware_Video_Filter is not working....

(I install the Field Aware Video Filter plugin, but there is no it in Video Effects menu )

Would you let me know why it doesn't appear in Video Effects menu?

Regards,

Anthonie.

Hi Anthonie,

The Premiere video filter samples were removed in the CC 2017.1 SDK, in favor of effect plug-ins using the After Effects effect API, which can be made compatible with both After Effects and Premiere Pro.  Since you are starting a new project, it's definitely recommended to start from the latest APIs.

Thank you. Zac.

I am trying to use setup dialog of the sample.

Would you explain about setup dialog(how to put some inputs and buttons on modal dialog?) ?

Anthonie.

Using the After Effects effect API, there are many more parameter types available for effects, including button parameters.  There is also custom parameter UI for drawing custom controls directly in the Effect Controls panel.

What types of inputs are you looking for?

Thank you. Zac.

I am going to display a modal dialog to get new parameter values from user.

This is from SDK.

fsSetup
Optional. Sent when the filter is applied, if fsInitSpec doesn’t allocate a valid specsHandle. Also
sent when the user clicks on the setup link in the Effect Controls Panel. The filter can optionally
display a (platform-dependent) modal dialog to get new parameter values from the user.

But I am not sure how can I display a modal dialog.

Would you explain about that?

Regards,

Anthonie.

Hi Anthonie, please use the latest SDKs.  It is not in either of our best interests for you to develop using a legacy API.

Hi, Zac.

If I use the latest SDKs, I think the plugins will not work with old version of After Effects and Premiere Pro.

I am worrying it.

Thank you.

You can build backwards-compatibility into the plug-ins you create.  Certain features may not be available, but you can check for the availability of these features at runtime.
