I just started to develop plug-ins for after effects because of a big project in my company, and I experience an issue when I try to use the plug-in I developped whith Visual Studio 2012 and the AE CS6 SDK. AE can't find the entrypoint of the plug-in. Here is the code of my project, if it can help:
#include "Warbler.h"

PF_InData *in_data,
PF_OutData *out_data,

}

PF_InData *in_data,
PF_OutData *out_data,

// We need to let AE know what version we are:
out_data->my_version =
PF_VERSION(MAJOR_VERSION,
MINOR_VERSION,
BUG_VERSION,

// We are going to iterate over the output extent,
// so we need to specify that flag...
out_data->out_flags |=
PF_OutFlag_USE_OUTPUT_EXTENT;
return err;
}

This plug-in is made by following the tutorial of Kas Thomas.
Any idea of where can be the problem? I tried to find some doc on the PiPLs but so far, nothing really interesting...
