What is the best approach for the second option? Would that be using the AE SDK? That is the only other option I’ve really been able to find in my searching other then hacking the XML. I’ve never used it before, but I’ve heard it takes some learning as well.

I thought it might be because of Mac’s Lion. Do you have a suggestion for a work around?

We ran into this problem with our systems at work when we upgraded to Mac OSX Lion. We are currently running After Effects CS5, and we had never had this problem before the upgrade. Image sequences could be rendered out, but no QuickTime files with any sort of codec.
It seems to be a QT codec issue. However, we didn’t filter it down to a specific codec. We resolved the issue by doing the following. This was recommended by Adobe Support. (This may be different with PC versions).
1. Download “AppCleaner” (Free Software)
2. Delete the newest version of QT.
3. Manually delete all QuickTime Codecs in:
Go->Computer->Macintosh HD->Library->QuickTime
4. Download QuickTime version 7.6.6 for Snow Leopard.
5. Install version 7.6.6 (This will reinstall your codecs as well)
6. Restart your Mac.
7. Hold down the “Option Key” and go to:
Go->Library->Preferences->Adobe->After Effects
8. Inside should be a folder called “10.0” Change the folder name to “new”.
9. Hold down the “Shift” key, and open After Effects,
You should now be able to render out QuickTime files again.
Hope that helps some of you.

Ah that might work. Thanks Dan. I’ll look into it.

I’ll keep searching around. I’m not too familiar with pixel bender. Do you think it would be easier, or is there a better way to do this?

Sorry. here you go:
It has the proper “<” bracket in front of “Effect matchname”, “Slider name”. and the closing “/Effect”. I had to leave them out because it wasn’t posting when I left them in. (As you could see).
Effect matchname=”QUICK” name=”$$$/AE/Preset/QUICK=QUICK”>
Slider name=”$$$/AE/Preset/REVEAL=REVEAL” default=”0″ valid_min=”0″ valid_max=”100″ slider_min=”0″ slider_max=”100″ precision=”1″/>
Slider name=”$$$/AE/Preset/BUTTONSELECTION=BUTTON SELECTION” default=”0″ valid_min=”0″ valid_max=”10″ slider_min=”0″ slider_max=”10″ precision=”1″/>

I just added the following code below at the end of the xml file just before the closing bracket for the entire document. For the sake of not copying the entire document, Without any of the other pre existing effects, the document would look like this:
I basically need 14 slider controls that I was looking to split up into 6 groups between 3 separate custom plugins. (10-1st plugin, 2-2nd plugin, 2-3rd plugin). They are all basically very similar with different group names to separate them. I already have them all written out by basically copying and pasting. I could post them if it would be helpful. I'm not too familiar with pixel bender.
