Effects Presents don't include Eased/Bezier key frames

NoahW1431

Any Updates on this issue? Would really help my workflow if this problem was solved somehow 🙂

Sir_Ivan

NoahW1431 there was a fix actually on Premiere API, which is great!
But... it doesn't work as it should, so it looks like that in one of the next updates I will make a workaround for that problem.

I have a smooth zoom transform effect that I have binded to a key, but when I press it it replaces the bezier keyframes with linear ones which throws off the smooth look of the zoom. Is there a way around this?

Sir_Ivan

dpeco this is Premiere Pro API bug.
At some point I plan to add workaround for it.

flashi

Sir_Ivan any updates

Sir_Ivan

flashi no updates yet. Currently I'm alone in my "developer castle", so it is hard to give enough time to every project.

rafaelsouzams

still no updates of this?

Sir_Ivan

no update. But now there is a hope that I will make it work 🪄

nadja

any updates?

Sir_Ivan

nadja not yet. More time is needed.

Sir_Ivan hey! not sure if you're aware, but the extension "drag & zoom" recently received an update integrating support for bezier keyframe interpolation, so i was wondering if there has been any developments on adobe's end with their API, or if the team behind drag & zoom somehow found a work around? either way, i found the news exciting and was curious if you had any updates concerning this feature in excalibur. thank you for your time (:

Sir_Ivan

nadja I see that it is possible to add bezier keyframes, however it is still limited (no possibility to change curves in bezier keyframes), but this is at least something.
I will try to add this to next Excalibur update.

isaac_herz

any news?

Sir_Ivan

I will soon push a little update that will add support for standard bezier keyframes. However, if animation curve was modified, it won't be translated by Excalibur.

Can I ask something?

I dinte understand the problem here I read it few times but I'm lost...

Let me ask you, I have a lot of presets that bounce and also have motion blur in transform and so on, so regarding this post I can't use the curves in the animation which it's almost most of them, hits, and camera Zooms and so on, so this won't work with Excalibur?

I though I could use all the presets I have in premiere with a shortcut to touch portal in windows 11.

Am I wrong? Thanks!!!

Sir_Ivan

Tuexnovia Yes, this is API limitation. Soon I plan to release a small update, which will solve it partially. It will apply standard Bezier curves for bezier keyframes.
However if curve was altered, it still will be resetted to default Bézier curve.

Sir_Ivan yo any updates on the bug or the limitations and if full support would be implemented soon? Could there exist a way to apply user presets through Excalibur the normal way like drag an drop like how it is normally done with the use of a macro implementation or something of that sort to work around this issue? My thought of how it can work is like the plugin copies the name of the preset to the clipboard and pastes it in the effects search then somehow drags it onto the clip (which is probably impossible now that i think about it)

Sir_Ivan

fuzz no updates yet. Hopefully this year there will be a progress in that field.
What you suggest is possible, but it will be problematic to maintain quality for all users (every computer, every windows setup is different).

Sir_Ivan Thanks. I was watching taran van hemert's review of excalibur, and he mentions that he has windows api integration with his own ahk scripts and stuff to move his mouse for his shortcuts/hotkeys, which appears to work with any premiere workspace and is not based on mouse coordinates which is pretty cool. However, as you say there is probably going to be issues with compatibility I guess, but thought I should mention it maybe it will give you an idea.

Sir_Ivan

fuzz indeed, I know of his setup. However even with his detailed instructions some users have troubles setting it up. Let's wait and good will come!
