That's pretty strange. Is the PiPL getting mangled along the way? If you like, you can send me a Stuffit archive of the plug-in, and I'll look further. (Remember to give the attachment a non-threatening extension, like .not_a_virus, or it'll never get past our mail gateway...) ... View more

We won't be porting the Windows SDK anywhere; it's enough work to keep it running in the environments we use internally, without introducing an external dependency on gcc Windows distributions. Good luck, though, if you choose to pursue that on your own!

To find a specific pixel, you'll need to do some pixel math. You could MAKE FillMatteSuite2 a member of AEGP_SuiteHandler; it isn't terribly hard. You'll also need to copy the input buffer to the output buffer, before drawing your pixel. Feel free to contact me directly with more specific questions. ... View more

The relevant samples are IO (for video and audio files), and FBIO (for frame-based formats, or stills). NOTE: It is not possible to override AE's file handling for subtypes of supported file formats. So, while you can't take over AVI handling for a specific codec or subtype, you're free to write support for .xyz file format. ... View more

48::46 means After Effects couldn't load something required by the plug-in. All the Windows samples are debug only, and rely upon the Microsoft DEBUG runtime DLLs. To build plug-ins for use on a system that ISN'T used for development, you'll want to link to release DLLs. See the Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> Code Generation -> Runtime Library. Let me know if that fixes it. ... View more

ERR() is defined in AE_Macros.h; basically, it says "if err is currently 0 (no error), then err equals..." whatever is in the ERR(). AEGP_SuiteHandler is a big utility function for acquiring and releasing function suites. WorldTransformSuite is defined in AE_EffectCBSuites.h. The "Find Definition" function in your IDE should be of assistance. As always, feel free to write to me directly. ... View more

Yes, I'm that bbb; glad you like the docs! You've understood the changes; .NET 2003 --> .NET 2005 shouldn't have broken you. I'd like to think official activation should make the problem go away, but I doubt it. Effect debugging should work within the trial version. Care to send me your built plug-in? I'll try to load it in a debug and a release version. ... View more
