Roadmap and known gaps
What comes next, and what After Effects does not let any tool do yet.
Planned
No dates yet. Every new operation is checked against your project before it runs and read back after, like the ones today.
Job preferences
A short list of preferences that matter for a job, each read back. Not the whole preferences file, because those settings carry into every project.
Known gaps
After Effects only offers these features as interactive tools. They are closed to scripts and plugins, extynt included, and reaching them would take a separate plugin or an outside model. We are considering finding options for these in the future. Until then, extynt tells you when a request needs one of them, rather than pretending.
Roto Brush, Refine Edge and Object Matte
Strokes and propagation exist only as an interactive tool. Nothing outside After Effects can drive the tool itself.
Content-Aware Fill
The fill panel has no way in for scripts or plugins, so no tool can run it.
Motion tracking
Point and planar tracking can only be started by a person in the Tracker panel. Plugins can provide trackers, but cannot start an analysis. Tracks that already exist can become nulls.
3D Camera Tracker: Create Camera
extynt starts the 3D Camera Tracker and reports when it has solved, but the Create Camera button is only pressed by hand.
Paint and Clone Stamp strokes
Strokes are made only by the paint tools.
Commands that open a dialog
Menu commands such as Auto-trace stop and wait for a person to answer their dialog.
Some effect settings
Gradient colour stops, Lumetri curves and the contents of 3D scenes made in other apps cannot be written by any tool.
