I would totally welcome a built in "Send to AE" tool. It doesn't seem like
something that would take up that much manpower to get working. If the dev
team can come up with ICE, they should be able to get an After Effects tool
going on a lunch break. Add a Nuke one too! It seems like software that if
friendly about import/export is easier to get plugged into an entrenched
pipeline.
