Ok - it may be something reaqlly simple to fix (I hope) But I now realise what the problem is -

Monter's script on my pc is reading the data but only drawing the last mask of the set. I was expecting it to create the mask then move the timeline forward by 1, create a new keyframe and redraw the mask.

What I'm getting as the end result is the final mask postion and shape only, and no keyframes.

Is here anyhing I need to change on After Effects to fix this? What version of AE was it tested on? (I'm running AE 7)

Sorry all - I'm being an idiot.

I've tracked back to the start of the comp - the keyframe data was inserted at frame 1 of the comp.

I'll try to amend the code to insert it instead from the current time.

Many thanks for your help,

Matthew
