-edit- My mistake! After messing around, I found that I have two identically named precomps in my project. Naturally, this confuses any script that points to one of them! My mistake. For anti confusion, here's my original post: Hi people, I found another bug, although I think it's After Effects' fau...

I have been at this too long. After a little break I immediately noticed how I should change this: myPreComp = layer.source; for (var n = myPreComp.length; n> 0; n--) { myPreComp[n].copyToComp(myComp); into this: myPreCompLayers = layer.source.layers; for (var n = myPreCompLayers.length; n> 0; n--) ...

Hi, I have a lot of wrongly precomposed layers because of some faulty automation from my part. Now I want to reverse that, but I cannot seem to get this to work properly. Can someone take a look at it? This script is supposed to walk all selected layers which are precomps, and copy the layers in the...

Thanks, but in this case the solid I want to use is already in my project. So I think I need to do the walking through after all.

Hey thanks, it seems to save me a lot of hassle!

Somehow I ended up with a lot of (pre)comps with bad motion blur settings.
Anyone know of a script that copies the values from one comp and applies them to all others?

One more related section I fail to make up; what is best to find all instances in any comp of all selected footage items and replace them with a solid? Like is there a function that tells me what comps/layers use the AVItem, or would I loop through all comps and compare all layers to all selected pr...

Ah now I see it, so I should thanks

First I look for my solid like so: // Check for my favourite solid var gotSolid = false; for (i = app.project.numItems; i >= 1; i--) { // Backwards is faster for finding the solid var mySolid = app.project.item(i); if (mySolid.name == "AL 1920x1080 White") { gotSolid = mySolid.id; break; }...

Exactly! I never understood it had to do with writing .exe or not! Without .exe it works fine, but with .exe and quotes my After Effects sais "You don't have permission to read this file." I always thought it depended on whether or not After Effects was having one of those days. But appare...

Ah I see. And personal information is mandatory.
I don't like it but it's only fair I guess!

It is a commercial script now?

Ah I missed it. But great to see a new version!

Hey I didn't even know there was a V3. Thanks for the tip.

Nab/Hype, why the silent release? I thought there would be a small party here. I'll check it out soon.

You can do it without the cornerpin. You need to track only three corners. If you lay out a screen replacement so it fits nicely, you can parent it to a layer that's the pos/rot/scale average of the 3 points. It will work on some types of footage. That's how I did it (even though I did have 4 corner...
