Custom Footage Rendering

hi all,

 

i looking guidance regarding rendering of custom footage.

 

pngs, bmps , other type of image footage simple pixel data.

they can imported , drawn pixel data.

 

the type of image footage adding must have custom rendering step since scaling footage result in different render.

 

can implement custom render step take scale , re-render footage?

i avoid having apply(and write) filter, since many footage added our compositions.

 

thanks in advance,

 

richard.

hi richardlalancette!

welcome forum!

 

well, if gather you're describing correctly, you're saying have vector based format opposed bitmap based format, you'd render according it's scale demand.

all image input formats ae ahandled aegp plug-in (one each format) called io or fbio. (input/output or frame based input/output)

 

as far know, such plug-ins given empy buffer ae fill image. dimensions of said buffer pre-determined ae, , don't have scale of layer, rather dimensions of file reported ae plug-in.

i don't think @ possible change dimensions dynamically. in cases image sequence has frames of varying size, put buffer of same size. (the same first frame in seqeunce, if recall).

 

on other hand... formats ai , eps rendered vector in ae. think happens using ae's internal rendering pipeline , not io plug-in.
