So hear me out, it's super awesome to create custom effects for realtime video effects in Resolume, but wouldn't it be AWESOME to be able to also compile the wire effect into an Adobe After Effects plugin that you can apply to videos in it? Then you can pre-render loops with such complex effects on them they couldn't possibly run in realtime!

First off, a ton of AE's built in plugins aren't GPU accelerated or support multi-frame rendering or 32-bpc color. Using resolume's graphics engine to apply effects frame-by-frame would be super fast. It would seem easy to support multiframe rendering by default, since in resolume I can run multiple instances of my wire effects at once! All the parameters you make in wire and see in Resolume can be parameters in the AE plugin that can be keyframed.

The compilation process might have to make a few adjustments to certain parameters of the wire effect to be compatible in all frame sizes/frame rates/color depth, but other than that it seems like it would be pretty easy!

I don't know anything about AE, but about the pre-rendering:
You can already do that in Arena, Avenue and Wire.

You can also send NDI from AE to Arena as a source, do the live rendering in Arena and then use the built in record function to do the rest. Not sure if that is what you're after?
