is there any tutorials and forums on writing aftereffects plugin?

the docs that come with the SDK is just a reference manual without easy to learn tutorials ,
it's very difficult to learn even for my team of C++ programmers

i serached in google but there seems having no forums or tutorials on the net that can help.
and seems same for photoshop plugins


cam any one point me some directions?
thanks

I would be interested too. I found only these:

http://www.mactech.com/articles/mactech/Vol.15/15.09/AfterEffectsPlugins/

You've probably found this one too. Can't tell how useful it is.

And there is one in German language:

yes i found these 2 links also...
but there still seems to be insufficient for us to understand the sourcecode in the SDK...

there are some essential stuff we still can't understand and find exaplnations
e.g. how to write out variables to into plattete so that we can check and debug
e.g. those (char) seem to be data type but we have no idea where to find the speicfications on them


we tried AFX 6.5 powerful scripting and it's not difficult learn.
will AFX scripting in anyway working together with plugins? i mena cna i write the UI in script and do the internal processing of pixels by the plugin? (becus scripting can't manupulate pixels)

any other resources, e.g. Books you can recommend us to take a look?

thanksss!!


thanks
