Thanks all. I am just having those pains of “OK, in C i would do it like this, but where is that little checkbox inAE????”
Shortly after my orig post I realized that INTERPRET FOOTAGE was where I needed to be. I am using Pinnacles Rig Zapper plugin, and am loving it. The only thing that I find that is still better to go to C for is the tracker. Maybe my next play around will be importing and exporting tracking data between them.
Anyway, thanks.
