Creating my first AE plugin, would love some help.
Posted: July 17th, 2019, 2:11 am
I downloaded the AE SDK from Adobe and found myself knee-deep in C in VS. I'd rather not program in C if I don't have to and I've noticed some plugins I use from aescripts are jsxbin files, like Explode Shape Layers - this is more along the lines of what I want to do.
I've done several hours of research to find the best starting point and proper approach to this and so far it seems like you do it with:
1. HTML5/JS (Extension Builder, which is out of date? no longer works? confused on this.)
2. ScriptUI/Extendscript
3. C/C++
Documentation around ScriptUI/Extendscript is pretty good, but it seems the HTML5 approach is the new hotness but the documentation or anything around it is very spotty.
If you were a newbie today which route would you take?
Thanks!
