You can do this by removing this line (239): slateComp.workAreaDuration = slateComp.frameDuration Now the script does not change the workArea at all. Then change 'Photoshop' on this line (243) to the name of the OutputModule template you want to use: rqItem.outputModule(1).applyTemplate("Photos...

There is probably a more accurate way to to this is, but this will be accurate most of the time:

I'm guessing you are trying to set the inPoint of the layers without moving the outPoint? Your code works when used on comp/footage layers, but when used on solids the outpoint is also moved, but any keyframes stay in place, so the only thing you have to do is store the outPoint before setting the ...

@zlovatt:
In case you don't know: there is a 'clamp' expression function that does the same as your min/max code.

Math.max(0, Math.min(slider, valuesArray.length - 1));

Is the same as:

clamp( slider, 0, valuesArray - 1 )

Are you able to create some sample code that reproduces the problem? How are you importing your libraries? Are you using @include/#include? Using multiple files should not be a problem. I have been dealing with 30+ files without any trouble. I'm thinking it may be a problem with the resolution or du...

Pulling the variables out to the outer scope is not a bad idea, as long as they are still inside your main function (i.e not polluting the global scope). Putting the variables so they are accessible from all functions can be tricky if they are going to change between executions (e.g a layer variable...

Just to be clear: any variable you declare in your script that is not inside a function will become a global variable. You should look up javascript scope. Most people would recomend wrapping your script in a function. So you do not declare or modify any global variables, which can have unforseen co...

You are already able to read most of the comps metadata: comp.bgColor; comp.width; comp.height; comp.numLayers; All of those, except numLayers, are read/write. So you can set to something else to change the comp. Take a look at http://docs.aenhancers.com/compitem/, http://docs.aenhancers.com/avitem/...

Do you have to close and reopen the comp? Or just deselect and select it in the project panel? I can't see any function to close a comp, but if you have to close it, you could try creating a new comp, open it, with comp.openInViewer(), then opening the comp you have changed in the same way. This wil...

It seems to be a bug, but I can't find any information if that is because negative lookahead regex was not implemented in the javascript engine extendscript is using or a bug in extendscript itself. Either way, you can achieve what you are trying to do by using two regexes and testing the string aga...

You can only set one style for a text layer via script, if you need multiple styles you need to create more text layers and find a way to place them. If you only need to change the color, or other properties that is not the font, you can maybe look into using an expression selector on the text layer...

Here is a script that adds a comp to the renderqueue, sets its output file, watches the renderqueue item's status changes and when the item is done, uses the MacOS shell command "mv" to move the file to the correct location. function renderAndMoveFile( compToRender ) {     var outputFolder...

Hey, this is a rewrite of that script which will convert orientation values to rotation values for keyframes on all orientation properties in the active comp. It does not take the original values of the rotation properties into account, so any values or keyframes on those properties may be overwritt...

Hmm, when I try to run the script, and there is already a comp in the renderqueue, the script works just fine. What is not working for you?

Hi Marc! Welcome! When I run this script, I first get an error when trying to access the renderqueue, because there is nothing added to the renderqueue, somewhere in you should add a comp to the renderqueue using  app.project.renderQueue.items.add( yourCompItemVariable ); // In your code that could ...
