Blender-to-After Effects Pipeline

As there is increasing utilisation of Blender's Grease Pencil, an addon was developed to facilitate integration into a traditional digital pipeline for 2D production.

Exporter:

- JPG, PNG, TGA (with noiseless RLE compression)

- Keyframe + digital timesheet export

Instead of image sequence export, reducing render time and data storage use.

- Runs off a separate subprocess

Enables continued work instead of stuck waiting for Blender to finish rendering.

Importer:

- Import keyframes instead of image sequence.

Animation is imported as a plane and timing is reconstructed from a specified imported digital timesheet.
