Scripting Listener for After Effects
Hello guys and girls (?) Having scripted with photoshop before I'm wondering if there's some scripting listener plugin for After Effects. It'd be an awesome tool for script development. I'm not sure how many people script on AE and if it'd be a feature request that Adobe could listen to. Ideas, thou...

Inverse precomp (explode comp to its subcomps/layers)
Hello fellow coders I'm sure this has been written before, but I can't find it. Does anyone know a script that will do an 'inversed' precomp, if you choose a comp, it will take the elements and bring them into their parent comp ? copying pasting layers works in terms of elements but loses whatever s...

End of file when using readln ? (javascript eof)
Hello all I'm using readln to parse a text file line by line (I'd rather not use 'read' if ever I parse a large file), however I have no idea how to catch the end of the file: var myFile = File.openDialog ("Select file","*.txt"); var fileOK = myFile.open("r","TEXT&...

Setting fonts dynamically ?
Hello people
Is it possible via an expression to change the font of a text layer ? It's not documented and is not in the scripting help either...
I've done it in photoshop (for example have a new layer for each font on your system) but can't seem to figure it out in After Effects.
Thanks

fetching live input data -> viewport update
Would this be remotely possible without the use of a plug-in ?
Can javascript 'catch' a stream of data in the background (or even read from a file periodically) and update the viewport without a manual user update ?
thanks

Re: Import Photoshop Layers
Check ImportOptions in the scripting docs, there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to import PSDs like you do do manually

delayed / timed / threaded script ?
hello guys I've written a quick maya mel file that outputs the coordinates of the camera every 1 second or so to a text file, and I'm trying to fetch the data of the text file in AE. I can read it in no problem, but my question is, can I do it with a kind of 'threading'. Can I have a script that che...

Re: Avoiding intersection of 3d layers
Could you be a little more specific ?
You want layers that are behind other layers (that have an alpha) not to show up ?
You could remove the alpha of the 'other layers' or bake an alpha. Show us what you want, I'm a tad confused.

Re: Identifying layers with expressions
Ah ok, I thought you wanted to use expressions to do the deed...
Actually it should be fairly straightforward, as you can query the 'expression' string of a layer

I'll give it a tug later, I do not have after effects at work (shake and nuke)app.project.item(index).layer(index).expression

Re: Identifying layers with expressions
you mean sort between lights, cameras, footage and comps ?
it's fairly easy to do with scripting. If you still need it I'll give it a shot.

By extremely popular request (errr I mean the one mail I got) I'll try to add a much friendlier user interface, I need to code a bit to relax.
