Very nice ! Thx !

I don't understand where to place the "CustomEffect.xml" file. Can you clarify?

Hope this helps

And what does that do? (If I don't do it, does it make the script unusable?)

I do not have a Support Files folder inside my AE folder. And I can't find "PresetEffects.xml" any where on my HD.

this will 'Group' all the Expression Controlls into one effect.
you can use the preset, but you might get an error message and 'Missing:' in front of the Custom effect. (Just like the lightsaber preset from Videocopilot)
but you can probably still use it

Solution:

On A Mac:
To enter the 'CustomEffect.xml' content in Preseteffects.xml go to your Adobe After Effects folder and right click on "Adobe After Effects CS4.app" and click "Show Package Contents".
Then go to Contents > Resources > PresetEffects.xml and then right click on PresetEffects.xml and open in an Editor (I use BBEdit or Dreamweaver), then also open the file "CustomEffect.xml" that came with TV Noise Input and copy everything in the "CustomEffect.xml" file and then go to the opened PresetEffects.xml and go to the very bottom and hit enter a few times right above the bottom "</Effects>" line and then paste all the contents from "CustomEffect.xml" and then save. (Make sure that </Effects> is still at the very bottom)

This should do the trick
