Re: Move Layers to a new comp

LayerCollection precompose() method
app.project.item(index).layers.precompose(layerIndicies, name, moveAllAttributes);

or you could create the comp and use
layer.copyToComp(compLocation);

I am trying to build a larger script that automatically creates a moving arrow and this is totally what I need to continue. Thanks. But is there really no way to access the mask shape information beyond copying and pasting the mask into the position channel? Would there be a solution if the mask wer...

For example if I had a Slider Control at 0% the position of the Point Control would be at the beginning of the spline. If I had a Slider Control at 100% the positio...

Re: I want Adjustment Layer to only effects certian layers?

Unfortunately that is not an option either. I am using the alpha channel from another comp on the adjustment layers to hide and reveal my solids. Putting the channel effect on the layer will not work correctly when I adjust the position of my solids. I could achieve this by creating multiple track m...

Re: Expression to link camera to grid effect.

I should say that in this case I am not needing to rotate what so ever. I just need to push in and out and move around the grid in 3d space. The motion tile effect works very much like the grid.

I am trying to make the grid effect in after effects to work as if it were a never ending 3d layer. I can't use a photo of a grid, I need something that goes on forever and keeps the same lin...
