Re: Remove All Expressions from Selected Layers

Hi, your loop is wrong. Selected Layers being an Array starting at index 0,  your loop should be ( i < layerNumber NOT <= ) like so: if (layerNumber >= 1){        for (var i = 0; i < layerNumber; i++)        {           var layerNames = chosenLayers[i].index;           recurse_children(comp.layers[l...

Re: How to target a layer other than the one currently selected

you can loop through the layers to find the one named "Hand". this will return a layer with a specific name, assuming you only have one layer with Hand in the name this is case sensitive. var handLayer = findLayer(app.project.activeItem,"hand") function findLayer(curComp,name){  ...

Re: Solid scale to size

Hi Mike, You'll have to create new solid for each layer selected. Solid can only be created from a comp layer collection. Because you don't want to screw up your actual comp and loop by creating new layers in it and therefore changing the indexes and layer numbers, you can create a new comp, add a n...

Re: Create sort of Metadata in AE project

Hi,
Sometimes, I use the comment to store values that I need to retrieve, or to tag layers. It exists inside the project panel for any item. Or on layers in a comp.
