Needs Output

So I've got this script (below). All it does is render any comps with "qqq" in the compname to a specified folder. It's a combination of the renderNamedItems.jsx and newRenderLocations.jsx scripts that come with AE. For some reason this script works on some computers but not others. On mor...

.outPoint not updating when replacing footage

I'm having a hard time figuring this out. I'm trying to get the outpoint of a footage layer. This works of course: comp("Comp 1").layer("replaceme.mov").outPoint; In the template I'm working on this footage is replaced with a clip of varying durations every time. The problem is t...

Calculate number of lines in paragraph text

I've got a 'Paragraph Text' text block... and need to figure out how many lines the paragraph contains.

I know if it was 'Point Text' I could do something like txt.split("\r"); but it's got to remain paragraph text. Any ideas?

Hey Jeff, thanks for letting me know the options. Ya, importing then replacing would work for now. I'm just trying to update a script for CS3.

Thanks for the response. I'll report it. I can't believe it actually might have been the program's problem and not user-error!

replacing a file in CS3

I'm trying to replace a source file with scripting in CS3. For some reason when I do this, I get the error "this module does not support input". var theimage = new File ("/Graphics/Users/matt/Desktop/story1.gif"); app.project.item(1).replace(theimage); It worked in AE7 - I'm sure...

Hey, thanks guys for all your responses. Basically I'm trying to replicate keyframed animations exactly - completely in expressions. (So for Nab's code, I wouldn't need the getPrevKey and getNextKey functions. It'd be fed with my own time and value...values). Ideally, there'd be a function that I co...

Thanks Atomic, now I understand. So something like this works for me, albeit being "ugly" like you said and a bit of work. Just created the animation how I wanted and copied the values for each frame over. (Oh, and I noticed that Motion Blur breaks this expression, not sure why.) thisFrame...

Thanks for the response Mylenium. Can you elaborate on what you mean about a function that evaluates for each keyframe?

custom eases through expressions

Is there anyway to replicate custom eases through expressions?

For example, you can do this to animate opacity from 0 to 100 from 1 to 5 seconds.
easeOut(time,1,5,0,100);

But what if I wanted to put specific values for speed/influence?

Anyone?

replacing footage breaks expressions

I've got a script that replaces footage files. The problem is that I've got expressions linked to those initial footage files and when they are replaced, the expressions break. The expression gets the footage's duration this: footage("video.mov").duration I thought the newly discovered &qu...
