After effects cameras anybody?
Nov 22nd, 2009, 3:41pm  
been working in a little set of classes to import text files with after effects keyframe data. hence enabling processing sketches to use after effects animations, including camera tracking data and stuff of that sort.
the code is messy but if anyone wants some of that i'll post it somewhere.

i did it because I'm a compositing/motion graphics artist and started learning processing to improve my creative possibilities and never ask myself why software does not the stuff i wish it did.
I plan to use it to integrate processing-made stuff into post-produced video.

Fantastic, I would love to see the code! It sounds like we are in exactly the same boat, though ive only been using processing for a year, ive been looking for a way to utilize the animation possibilities with after effects for ages!

I have heard about exporting processing projects as XML files into after effects, lets look into it.

well actually what i did was to use the fact of after effects key frames being ASCII when copied to the clipboard. i used this to read them from processing and pasting them into files in the data folder of the sketch, then parsing their info into variables. the only problem is that they have to be baked so that there is a key frame in every frame (i don't want to deal with after effects' interpolation methods).

I will eventually clean up the code and share it.
