Using MCasual's MAT ANIM

Has anyone ever used the script from MCasual named MAT ANIM? It is a script that gives you the ability to set key frames for surface propertires like opacity, or diffuse and so on....... I'm trying to find out if there is a way to save a scene which saves the keyed surfaces that were applied with the script. I have tried apply the key frame to a surface with the script and it changes colors along the timeline where I set a key like it is supposed to, but after I save the scene and try and click play on the timeline the keys no longer exist. Any ideas?

    Oh OK thankyou Sven, I will search his site. I really love the MAT ANIM script but it can be a lot of work for nothing if you can't save it.

    By the way Sven do you know if there is a way to select multiple surfaces at one time with MAT ANIM? I am trying to apply MAT ANIM cut out opacity key frames to the emissive planes of Dreamlight's Stage FX pro beams. There are about 40 planes per beam and in MAT ANIM they all show up on a long list but only can be selected at a time, from what I can tell.

    No I haven't found a way to select multiple surfaces. Well you probably found it already but here's the https://sites.google.com/site/mcasualsdazscripts4/mcjanimatsave
