After Effects 2026 presets made by hand (1200 lumetri-58 ... -62) decode
the data the scripted samples could not set.
- RGB curve (-0039): the first of the four curves is the master curve
and arrives as curves/rgbCurves/master. A moved red, green or blue
curve is reported: no sample tells which slot is which channel.
- Hue vs Sat (-0042): y is the offset from neutral, 1 doubling the
saturation (in linear light), so EffectCraft's y is 0.5 + y / 2. The
other four hue / saturation curves stay reported when moved.
- Color Wheels (-0047): four triples of hue (degrees), brightness slider
(0.5 neutral) and distance. Shadows, Midtones and Highlights become
EffectCraft's wheel colours (HSL of that hue, saturation = distance,
lightness 0.5); the brightness sliders and the fourth wheel are
reported.
- Damaged curve or wheel data is reported as damaged.
- Legacy Tone And Saturation is reported when a record says on: its pard
default turns from off to on when the project is saved again (the
25.x / 24.x / 26 copies of 1200), so comparing with it missed it.
- The Input LUT and Look presets confirm -0095 / -0096 hold the names;
the LUT files are After Effects' own and are not embedded.
Evidence: the 62 read-backs still equal the imported values in the new
63-composition 1200 file. The version copies store the same Lumetri
definitions, ranges and values and give the same report. Renders: master
curve within 0.024 (After Effects uses a natural spline, EffectCraft's
Lumetri a monotone one), Hue vs Sat mean 0.008, wheels mean 0.042.

The importer now converts After Effects' Lumetri Color. Its parameters are
found by match-name suffix, not by parT index: After Effects inserted
-0127 ... -0130 mid-list and five tone sliders share one valid range.
- Values are read from every value record, also those in the default
state (tdsb 3), where Lumetri keeps High Dynamic Range, HDR Specular and
the second Look popup (EffectParam::recorded_value; stored_value is
unchanged).
- A switched-off section, and HSL Secondary without a picked key colour,
draws nothing in After Effects: its set values are reported in one line
and not imported.
- The HSL key data is decoded into hue / saturation / lightness ranges.
- LUTs and Looks (by name), controls without a counterpart, eyedropper
colours and undecoded curves, wheels and Split Toning are reported.
- EffectCraft's Lumetri sliders take After Effects' valid ranges.
- import_param is split into lookup plus import_mapped for reuse.
Evidence: 1200 samples (After Effects 2026). The 62 read-backs of mapped
controls in sections that act equal the imported values. The other 61
lie in sections that do nothing and are reported. Renders of identity
grades are within 1/255.
