Hi guys,
I'm delving into running a MacOSX terminal script I have from within AE as a plugin.
Once the effect is applied to a layer or adjustment layer...
1) I need to write out data for the frame the user is currently looking at in the composition view as a jpg or png (not as a render que item just receiving the buffer through the SDK)
2) process this data as jpeg/png in my Terminal script in the background (thnk something like imagemagik etc.)
3) send the newly filtered image back to the after effects composition view though the SDK
I want this to all happen in the background and I'll be linking sliders from AE to send variables to my Shell script etc.
I'm pretty newbie i'm sorry but could any genius out there point me in the right direction to an SDK sample or know of a way that I can actually write out the data received by the SDK as jpeg, then receive an updated jpeg and write it back to the users composition view?
Thanks in advance guys:)
Cheers
