• edittext syntax highlighting/coloring, marker, slice
• Add reveal preferences button to GUI

Qued

• BeatManager: Include bpm edittext and rate dropdownlist directly in class and not in buildGUI function.
• Console: Add expand/collapse button
• Console: Interpret keyframes, remove all keyframes except the ones that are on the beat, interpolate the lasting keyframes in different ways. This should be fun with tracking data i think.
• Create marker label: 1 … 4 … 8 … 12 and 1 … 1 . . . 1 … 1
• Check javascript compatibility ES5 and ES6, new after effects version legacy-and-extend-script-engine:
• New class Keyframes: manage console input
• app.beep(): Sound?
• MouseEvent: event.altKey, ctrlKey, metaKey, shiftKey; event.screenX/Y, type == “mousedown”; initMouseEvent()
• KeyboardEvent: event.getModifierState(key); key == “Alt”, “Meta”, “Control”, “Shift”
• Console functions: create multiple comps create markers [compName] and create slices [compName] ⋅⋅* template.xml: A default template for new compositions is saved on disk. New compositions are created by the template data.
• edit markers/slices in ‘show’ popup window. remove marker, remove slice
• Quantize keyframes

Done

• Check AE Version, make improvements and make backward compatible
