Deleting all keyframes
What is the best way to delete all keyframes of a stream? Calling KeyframeSuite3()->AEGP_DeleteKeyframe for every key works, but takes quite a bit of time. I was hoping to just virtually toggle the 'stopwatch' button, but I can't seem to find the API for that.
Any ideas?

downward compatibility CS4->CS3
Hi,
I wrote a plugin with your current CS4-SDK. It works on AE CS4 but on CS3 it doesn't.
Is there a way to get it downward compatible, or do I have to download several SDKs and compile it for each version?
thx

Reload plugin after building...
Would like to enquire about "SLICK DEBUGGING TRICKS" in After Effects SDK Guide (in pdf) for AE CS5 (version 10). Perhaps somebody is successful following the steps!?
I see a few problems as follows:
1) AE application keeps a file lock on Filter plugins (or plug-ins)
even if one could overwrite an effect plugin when AE process is running...
2) Purge All (in menu Purge -> All or Ctrl - Alt - key '/' on the numpad) does not reload the plugin; in fact this is being called in the following order:
PF_Cmd_FRAME_SETUP,
PF_Cmd_RENDER,
PF_Cmd_FRAME_SETDOWN,
no request for PF_Cmd_GLOBAL_SETUP or PF_Cmd_GLOBAL_SETDOWN is made. also this thread already mentions it: http://forums.adobe.com/click.jspa?searchID=3907456&objectType=2&objectID=1798812
3) VS does not allow Edit & Continue or x64, and CS5 seems to be x64 only - how could you make use of this functionality? or documentation does not seem to be updated completely for SDK for CS5?
Greetings

after effects and OLE automation
hi all
i m new to after effects and i m developing plugin in 3d software which will access after effects components,
is it possible to access after effects functions using OLE automation ?
i've seen OLE automation in photoshop and acrobat reader, but not in AE.
is there any other way ?

iterate_origin question
I've duplicated the shifter project. I'm in the smartRender function.
I'm getting an error, which... is not even remotely straightforward.
on these calls (exactly the same code in the original project), where it says: ShiftImage8, error.
it's complaining: Use of undeclared identifier 'ShiftImage8'
the identifier is supposed to be a reference to a function, I get that. it's used by the iteration, repeatedly calls "SiftImage8" with new data. I get that.
the problem is: it. does. not. compile. Gives an error. and there. is. no. indication. of. the. issue.
ERR(suites.Iterate8Suite1()->iterate_origin( in_data,
0,
output_worldP->height,
input_worldP,
&output_worldP->extent_hint,
&origin,
(void*)(infoP),
ShiftImage8,
output_worldP));
the only other information is :
the error points to a file called: AE_macros.h
specifically:
#ifndef ERR
#define ERR(FUNC) do { if (!err) { err = (FUNC); } } while (0)
#endif
need help, AE SDK is not very clear on what it's doing.

compositing an image into the layer with rotation?

looking for information about copying an image (a relatively small layer, selected in a menu)

currently using :

Supersampling
Hey everyone,
I'm trying to implement something like RE:Map and I pretty much have it working close to perfect.
The issue no is that even using 16 bit UV pass edges stay jagged and I'd like to do some supersampling, but I have no clue on what the best way forward is.
The code was clean and readable until I started hacking away at giving supersampling a go. :/
This is the mess I've currently going. (Note this is my first time playing around with the SDK.)
static PF_Err
RemapFunc16( void *refcon, A_long xL, A_long yL, PF_Pixel16 *in, PF_Pixel16 *out)

PF_PUI_DISABLED does not disable slider on setup
Newbie question, which I hope have a simpel answer :-)
When I setup my slider I cannot disable it by default in ParamsSetup:
PF_ADD_FLOAT_SLIDERX( "Custom Aspect Ratio",
1, // min
5, // max
1, // slider min
5, // slider max
1, // default
PF_Precision_HUNDREDTHS,
PF_PUI_DISABLED, //this does nothing, it is still visible
CUSTOM_ASPECT_DISK_ID);
The PF_PUI_DISABLED flag does not disable it, while the other parameters do what they are expected to. I can enable/disable it on events in ParamChange:
AEGP_SuiteHandler suites(in_data->pica_basicP); //Call helper suites (should this be done outside the if-else?)
//Get selected format
FORMAT format = (FORMAT)(params[FIRST_STRETCHFORMAT]->u.pd.value-1);
PF_ParamDef aspectParam = *(params[FIRST_CUSTOM_ASPECT]);
if(format == FORMAT::CUSTOM)
aspectParam.ui_flags &= ~PF_PUI_DISABLED;
else
aspectParam.ui_flags |= PF_PUI_DISABLED;
ERR(suites.ParamUtilsSuite3()->PF_UpdateParamUI(in_data->effect_ref, FIRST_CUSTOM_ASPECT, &aspectParam));
I somehow get the feeling, that the disable flag should be set some other way initially rather than in the slider definition.
Help is greatly appreciated :-)

A_Time values
Hello,
There is no documentation about A_time, and I would like to know how it works.
All samples get keyframes values by AEGP_GetKeyframeTime function with a result like :
A_Time timePT = {94208, 25600}; // 3 sec 17
94208 is the value : How is formula to get this value. ?
25600 is the scale : How is formula to get this value. and how it works ?
I'm working on a keyframer,
I want to insert keyframes at 1.2 sec on a timeline of a solid for example, the composition is based on 25 fps.
How I get the right values (value and scale) for A_Time
I use
ERR(suites.KeyframeSuite3()->AEGP_InsertKeyframe(position_streamH,
AEGP_LTimeMode_LayerTime,
&timePT,
&new_indexL));
Cheers

Is there a way of using PF_EFFECTCUSTOMUIOVERLAYTHEMESUITE1 in an AEGP?
Actually, you can add this to a pile of AEGP + UI questions..
I have a lovely working panelled plugin (thank you, people who gave answers to previous questions of mine).
The panel, though, is ugly as sin. I'd like to make it integrate nicely into AE's own GUI, matching the user's display preferences, etc.
The SDK discusses this when it comes to effects.
The forum keeps leaving tantalizing hints of how AEGPs can access effects suites
(for example, when discussing HTML5 panels... People keep mentioning "yes you poor AEGP people we aren't supporting you but maybe you can make your plugin communicate with an effect that uses this).
All I want is to be able to retrieve whatever the current AE graphic settings are for brightness etc and use them to set up my window. From an AEGP, not from an effect.
How can I do this?
(and as a bonus question, is there, anywhere, some kind of starting guide for how to accomplish this mythical effect-plugin commnication? Especially vis a vis html5)
Thanks!

Image / Logo in Parameter
This might be a fairly naive question, but I've fumbled through putting together my first plugin through these forums, the sdk and sheer brute force at times ... however one thing I noticed on Keylight that I can only assume is not part of the out of the box params is shown in the following screenshot. I was wondering if anyone has looked into doing this type of thing before, and if so how you went about doing it. I have just have been wondering about this for a while and figured I would ask as I am almost done with my plugin.
