Bug:In Faceposer, some events cannot be exported if the scene was not saved first.
Warning:Incorrectly nested or corrupted files will make Faceposer freeze forever.
Note:If multiple "event headers" follow eachother whitout being separated by curly brackets, only the first "header" will be parsed by Faceposer.

Valve Choreography Events (VCE) is a file format used by 
Faceposer to store individual events, to later import them in scene files.
Bug:In Faceposer, some events cannot be exported if the scene was not saved first.Warning:Incorrectly nested or corrupted files will make Faceposer freeze forever.Format
VCE files use the same format as VCD files, with the exception that they only store events.
Every VCE file created by Faceposer starts with this comment :
// Choreo version 1: <x> Exported Events- Where
xis the number of exported events. The "choreo version" is always the same. 
Confirm:Is it used by Faceposer ? From my testing, it isn't.
It is then followed by event(s), written in the same way as in VCD files.
Note:If multiple "event headers" follow eachother whitout being separated by curly brackets, only the first "header" will be parsed by Faceposer.
// Choreo version 1: <1> Exported Events
event gesture "Gesture event 1"
{
time 0.000000 -1.000000
param "G_shrug"
absolutetags playback_time
{
"apex" 0.160000
"accent" 0.240000
"loop" 0.320000
"end" 0.440000
}
