I dont think this solution works anymore. I want to use a non-vcpkg method for libcairo.lib - the default meson method builds libcairo.a on windows. Has anyone managed to build libcairo.lib on windows recently.

There is a free wiggle plugin for PPro and AE. Here - https://www.prosya.com/software/wiggler-effect/ - select the layer to wiggle, and the param to change. The params under Wiggle map to the wiggle function params.

I'll start this post and hope some others will add to this. First, non of the AEGP_ calls are supported in PrMr. From the docs - After Effects suite call Premiere Pro equivalent function
WorldTransformSuite1()->copy() PF_COPY()
WorldTransformSuite1()->convolve() in_data->utils->convolve()
FillMatteSuite2()->fill() PF_FILL()
PF_PixelDataSuite1->get_pixel_data8() PF_GET_PIXEL_DATA8() From the example - Checkout PF_EffectUISuite1 and PF_ChannelSuite1 are not supported. From the example - SDK_Noise, PF_PixelFormatSuite1 is supported. From Pathmaster - none of the mask suites seem to be supported. So, how do we access masks in Premiere Pro ? Unsupported - PathQuerySuite1, PF_MaskSuite1 From Convolutrix - PF_NEW_WORLD, PF_BLEND, PF_FILL are supported.

So without t, it is noise(x, Freq, amp, octaves, amp_mult) and with t it is noise(t, Freq, amp, octaves, amp_mult). Would that be correct? So t replaces the seed?

I'm curious about what exactly the time param does in a wiggle expression. wiggle(freq, amp, octaves = 1, amp_mult = .5, t = time) There is some sort of a noise function internally. If we supply layer time as the last param, is time simply added to the noise seed to obtain a value with required freq, octave and amplitude? wiggle(freq, amp, octaves, amp_mult , t) So, if we apply wiggle to x, internally does it become noise(x+t, Freq, amp, octaves, amp_mult) instead of wiggle(freq, amp, octaves , amp_mult ) - noise(x, freq, amp, octaves, amp_mult) without any time param?

Building plugins for both After Effects and Premiere Pro using AE SDK is well documented. Premiere pro has its own SDK as well. However, Elements also supports plugins. So, how does one target both Premiere Elements and Premiere Pro using plugins using either AE SDK or PPro SDK?

I'm aware of the AEGP Stream suite to get the x,y and even z co ordinates of a layer in AE. How does one obtain this data on PPro. PPro does not support AEGP so how do plugin authors get this data?

I have an an effect that has an entry for Source - which is a point x,y param. The layer has been tracked and the motion applied to null object "Null 1" I have keyframes on Position, rotation, scale for "Null 1" What expression will capture the transform for Position, Rotation, Scale and apply it to the x,y co-ordinates of the Source - point parameter ?

For reference, the camera matrix is obtained by - ERR(suites.PFInterfaceSuite1()->AEGP_ConvertEffectToCompTime(in_data->effect_ref, in_data->current_time, in_data->time_scale, &comp_timeT));
ERR(suites.PFInterfaceSuite1()->AEGP_GetEffectCamera(in_data->effect_ref,&comp_timeT,&camera_layerH));
if (!err && camera_layerH){
ERR(suites.LayerSuite5()->AEGP_GetLayerToWorldXform(camera_layerH,&comp_timeT, &matrix));
// Now obtain camera position

This is the ExtendScript equivalent - "function camPos() \
{if (app.project.activeItem.activeCamera != null) \
return app.project.activeItem.activeCamera.transform.position.value;\
else \

}\
camPos();"

Obtaining the distance is not the issue - the problem is that I wish to obtain certain vectors that are only available from expressions (per my knowledge). For instance, toWorld(anchorPoint)
thisComp.activeCamera.position These are both unavailable in the script. Once these vectors are available, the distance can be evaluated.

For a project, I would like to get the z position of camera and current layer. Is there a simple way to :- a. Check if The 3d layer is enabled for current layer b. If enabled, get x,y,z position of camera and current layer. Artie is a bit involved as a simple example to just get this info.
