A short while ago I worked on an exporter for Hiero that would allow you to take clips, shots and entire sequences from Hiero into After Effects. It still needs a little bit of love but I thought I'd share in the hope it'd prove useful for a few of you! If you find anything broken, or would like to see additional features added, leave me a comment and I'll see what I can do.

The exporter basically generates a .jsx file that when run inside of After Effects, creates and saves out the project for you. In fact, here's a video : https://vimeo.com/58986897

 

Features :

Export multiple clips, shots or entire sequences 

Handle settings/retimes get taken into account (these should definitely almost always work...)

 

Limitations :

Currently will only auto-setup render modules in the .tiff format. For round-tripping with Hiero, you need your exporter render item to be set to .tiff as well (see video)...

 

Usage :

Unzip and copy both files to '~/.hiero/Python/StartupUI/'

Watch the video :) It's definitely worth pointing out that the script does NOT create the presets for you, it just allows you to add the AEProject exporter into your own presets.
