Add a keyframe to an effect ( not OFX )

Hey everyone, first time here!

I just have a small question:

is there any way to add a keyframe to an effect ( not OFX ) with a script? All I could find in the documentation are ways to add a keyframe to an effect with a preset, not a custom value

thanks in advance,
Redy

Also:

If it's not possible, is there a way to create a preset for that effect and then apply that preset? Or is there any workaround to be able to keyframe the effect?

I answered you on my tutorial as well. But the short answer is NO. Use the script in this tutorial:

That will tell you each effect you have, the name, presets, GUID, as well as whether or not it is an OpenFX effect.

Only OpenFX effects will let you add keyframes via a script.

Thanks for the answer, this really helps!

Is the long answer also no? I really need to find a way to keyframe those effects, even tho it's hacky or something

Thanks again!

Yes, the long answer is also no.

Yes, the long answer is also no.

Also, is there really no way to get the selected keyframes on an OFX effect?

@RedyM You can add as many keyframes as you wish on an OFX effect. You add them per parameter. The tutorial you looked at on my tutorial page shows you how to do that. You can also read the keyframes that are set on an OFX effect.

It's just the DirectX effects that can't get keyframes from a script.
