thanks for the links. I had not checked out their work. very impressive. guess I will add that to my list as well ;) Another thing to check out is "openFramework". I have seen some impressive work done with that... its C based instead of java. Check out Dr. WooHoo

You are probably right. I couldn't imagine people having to reduplicate work all the time... especially if other pieces depended on the originals.

About #6 I believe there is a way to have duplicates of an item and make easy changes to all of them.

Thanks for this interesting write up. I've been meaning to play with AE Expressions for a while, but never found the time.

I'd love to make some generative videos from code alone, and I'm not too impressed with the video export from Flash. I guess I'll wait and see how your Extend Script and Patch Panel tests go.

Have you (or anyone at the Basement) done any video tests with Processing? Along the lines of Glenn Marshall (http://www.vimeo.com/user656427) or Robert Hodgin (http://www.vimeo.com/flight404)

Seems like it could be the way forwards for script based motion graphics :)
