I've tried millions of things and none worked. Not a tremendously important question but that would still be helpful to know !
Try with "(-". For instance popup_string="Alpha|Red|Green|Blue|(-|Luminance"

Wow thank you nab. I wasn't expecting an answer anymore for this one. It works.

How did you find it by the way ?

Popup control in plug-ins uses this separator (AE SDK).

Hello,
I noticed that it is possible to create an external XML file which is linked to the PresetEffects.xml file. The simple camera rig from maaltanon use this, because when you install his script, you also copy a folder which contains a xml file with his custom control effect.

It would be REALLY GREAT to know how it works because it is really annoying to copy and paste the presetsEffects.xml from a machine to anothers.

Anyone have an idea?

Thanks!

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to pack up some PseudoEffects with an .aep file.
I`ve seen this or some work around in Anicons, sold in aescripts.
This .aep file icon library comes with a lot of PseudoEffects and they are all ready to use just opening the project file.
Does anyone know a way to work this?

Thanks a lot!
