Re: Specifying a filename in a plugin dialog

Bruce Bullis · ‎Aug 01, 2007

Erik, if the filename is the same for all frames in a given sequence, then sequence data is the place to store it. Use an options dialog; you can rename the Options button to "pick file" or whatever you like.

Call AEGP_SetSelection() to alert AE of the change.

AEGP_GetEffectCamera() AEGP_GetEffectCameraMatrix()

The stream value is an index into the comp's layers. While it's possible to manipulate effects' layer params from within an AEGP, it's not recommended (users won't be expecting it, and surprising users increases your tech support load). What's your AEGP trying to accomplish by manipulating an effect's layer param?

Bruce Bullis · ‎Aug 01, 2007

True enough. Consider the bug reported.

Bruce Bullis · ‎Jul 11, 2007

(you'll hear it here first)

Bruce Bullis · ‎Jun 28, 2007

Have you iterated over the animators attached to the text stream? Start with the Text_Twiddler sample, and walk across all the members of the stream's group.

Bruce Bullis · ‎Jun 28, 2007

AEGP_GetCompFramerate().

Bruce Bullis · ‎Jun 22, 2007

Sorry for the delay, Neil. Send the plug-in (rename the .zip to .not_a_zip, or something similarly innocuous) to Zac Lam zlam@adobe.com.

Bruce Bullis · ‎Jun 22, 2007

Add the AEGP_SuiteHandler.cpp file to the project.

Bruce Bullis · ‎Jun 22, 2007

Does the suite get successfully acquired? What outResult do you get? NOTE: ADM is not supported in AE CS3.

Bruce Bullis · ‎Jun 22, 2007

I don't (want to) know whether I'm too stupid to understand or it's Visual Studio's fault, but I can't seem to get my effect, which uses two layer parameters, to work. I always like to blame the compiler first. ;) Agreed, it's not made terribly obvious throughout the documentation. During PF_Cmd_RENDER, your input layer is always there; any other layer params need to be checked out.

Bruce Bullis · ‎Jun 22, 2007

Oh yeah...set the selection using AEGP_CollectionSuite.

Bruce Bullis · ‎Jun 22, 2007

You could set the current selection to the comps & layers to be pre-comped, then use AEGP_DoCommand (2071). 2071 == pre-compose.

Bruce Bullis · ‎Jun 22, 2007

According to MSDN, CrtDbgReportW is a debug-only function; maybe there's still something you need to convert to release? The suggested solution I've seen is to change the runtime lib, which you say you've already done...

Bruce Bullis · ‎May 21, 2007

All this time my plug-in detects that the world is not 16 bpc when the project setting is already 16 bpc. It doesn't matter what the project setting is; it matters what the output setting is. You can output 16bpc projects to 8/16/32bpc.

Bruce Bullis · ‎May 21, 2007

Not off-hand; please send your plug-in, an AE project in which it's applied, and specific steps to repro the crash to aebugs@adobe.com.

Bruce Bullis · ‎May 21, 2007

Use Quartz; QuickDraw is an antique (that we should really replace in future SDK releases).

Bruce Bullis · ‎May 16, 2007

AEIO_MFlag2_CAN_DRAW_FLOAT is required for 32bpc output.

Bruce Bullis · ‎May 11, 2007

You mean your plug-in is still asked for 8bpc output? How does your plug-in tell AE it can handle >8bpc?

Bruce Bullis · ‎May 01, 2007

Not sure (I'll ask my counterpart on the Premiere Pro team). Deep color?

Bruce Bullis · ‎Apr 30, 2007

That's a project setting.

Bruce Bullis · ‎Apr 30, 2007

What outflags do you set? PPro won't load some plug-ins that request functionality it doesn't support.

Bruce Bullis · ‎Apr 25, 2007

Glad to hear from you, Ingchelio and Guy! Ingchelio, you know that there is no support in AE for handling just a file subtype, right? You must either handle every AVI type, or change to a different extension, or there will be problems when users try to use other types of AVI...

Bruce Bullis · ‎Apr 25, 2007

I'm not sure which version of AEGP_SuiteHandler you're using, but you may need to call PFInterfaceSuite1, not just PFInterfaceSuite. Set breakpoints and step into the function call, and you'll see where the exception occurs.

Bruce Bullis · ‎Apr 25, 2007

We don't archive old SDK versions. Hopefully, if someone needs you to developer for APIs from 1998, they'll have a copy of the SDK around (on floppy disks, heh heh).

Bruce Bullis · ‎Apr 11, 2007

> out_data->out_flags = out_data->out_flags | PF_OutFlag_DEEP_COLOR_AWARE; The above is a logical statement, but doesn't set the flag. You need |= not |

Bruce Bullis · ‎Apr 05, 2007

How are you telling AE you want deep pixels? (i.e., are you setting appropriate outflags and outflags2 in the PiPL and during PF_Cmd_GLOBAL_SETUP?

Bruce Bullis · ‎Apr 05, 2007

Yes.

Bruce Bullis · ‎Apr 04, 2007

Ahhhh. Saving the state information in the sequence data (along with a flag that tells you whether or not they're initialized) should do the trick. I don't think you can supervise null params, right?
