I'm using After Effect with Trapcode SoundKeys.

I'd like to output keyframes generated by soundkeys as text files. I can do by cutting and pasting of course, but I'd like to automate.

Is it possible to script After Effects to capture keys from each "range" or all of the EQ bars from soundkeys and then output a text file for each range?
