Camera Import/ Export?

Hey guys, does anyone know of a way to get camera keys from other software? I have a few apps that I'd like to share camera info amongst, anime being a linchpin in the process.
I'd really like to import the keys from hash and export to comp , but the import is the most crucial

I guess I could numerically match to a degree but easing might be an issue.

If I remember well, Ponysmasher (and another guy I can't remember right now) worked on sharing keys between After Effects and AS. Search on his posts.

Yes, I wrote a script for exporting the camera to After Effects

I´m assuming hash is animation master? Not sure what you mean with comp. After Effects comp?

I've never used animation master so I don't know what format the keyframe data is in. You're welcome to examine my script if you want to give it a go yourself.

To avoid worrying about easing I export the values from every frame so there's a lot of keyframes, but it would be the same if you motion tracked the layer.

hey thanks ponysmasher, Ill have a look at that.
@Slowtiger, I'm combining 2d from Anime and 3d from hash animation master , the 3d file will have camera info that I'd like to bring in to Anime.

I might have to wing it and go for a 'ghetto' look.
