zooper script

and one of my favorite american series...Zeus, Apollo !

If I recall correctly, when you send a comp to the queue for the first time, AE asks for a destination folder (via a dialog box). If these machines have never rendered any file or the output module file has never been set, I guess you would face the problem you mentionned.

Give this a try: findReplaceFromFiles From the header: Given two text files as input, this script will replace the text layers whose text source is contained in the first file with the corresponding text written in the second file. Example: oldData.txt Monday Tuesday 8.30 PM newData.txt Friday Sunda...

You could use a "smooth()" expression on your audio data (see the doc for usage) or play with The Smoother (from the Window menu). Sometimes this helps.

The script can be downloaded here

Usage:
1. convert your audio to keyframes
2. select your video or precomp layer
3. execute the script

A null layer and a parameter called "Max Forward" are created at the top of the comp, this parameter controls the "speed"...

I don't think you can use the audio amplitude (or some "linear()-ized" value to change its range) as a timeremap multiplier because the animation will jump forward and backward, not slower and faster. You need an expression that loops through the comp or layer duration and maintains a coun...

Some hints if you want to try again in the future...

To add a folder: To change the project color depth: To trigger the Import File dialog:

Yes that's right. You could try to create new text layers in the activeItem based on the text source of layers that are located in other comps to evaluate their size.

I was just saying that in some situations (when layers have the same name), the paste operation doesn't act on every layer, just one. I think the reason is that your container stores layer names, so when you want to access a layer you always retrieve the same layer. If I'm not clear, try that: - cre...

Congrats SFR75, very nice implementation 8) A simple remark.. When a layer has not been renamed and is duplicated, the original layer and its duplicate have the same name. If you apply the script on these layers, only one layer will be affected. I'm sure you can easily fix it (if you like to). The U...

Try something like this after rendering the current frame/layer:
var renderedFile = new File(OutputMO.file.fsName.replace("[#]",xstarttime/activeItem.frameDuration));
renderedFile.rename(Location.fsName + "/" + currentLayer.name + ".tga");

Is there anyway to replicate custom eases through expressions? Yes, there is. As suggested above, you can write your own interpolation function that would calculate the intermediate values from the current key and the next one. First you would have to retrieve the keys... Here is an example that in...

(sorry Dale for my late reply I was super busy :cry: ) okay I see.. I think the speed attribute corresponds to the "slope" of the handle, describing the variation of the property's value over time. The influence attribute determines the "length" of the handle's projection onto th...

I'm not sure to understand what you're looking for, could you please elaborate further ? (does the keyframe exist already, which property is concerned, etc...)

"If you have AE CS3...", AE 6.5 or AE 7.0
