Feature request: Start offset, Playhead position, Start Frame, End Frame about aftereffects-aep-parser HOT 2 OPEN

I'm glad this utility has been useful for you! It's interesting how these values are multiplied by 2. Good discovery. I've found that some other values (namely framerate) are stored as a quotient of two numbers: dividend and divisor to yield the final value. Maybe this is similar? (framerate calculation:

I suspect that these new values you've discovered can be easily inserted into the following structure at the proper offsets:

I'm a bit occupied with work at the moment, but I would like to get to these edits at some point soon. If you're feeling brave, and want to try and make these additions yourself, I'd be more than happy to review your Pull Request!

Also, regarding writing back to an AEP file, I'll have to do more research, but I believe this is against Adobe's terms of service.

@rioam2 I modified Item and CDTA struct a bit, and even though, it turned to be a bit ugly:

It still works like magic:

But I think there could be a problem with parsing, if composition has large frame count. I used uint16 instead of uint32, because it will grab additional zero bytes at the end (fields OffsetX_1). Is there any way to overcome this issue?

Also, for the time being, I disabled layers' parsing, so #2 won't happens
