If you don't using a new text editor you could use visual studio code (vs code). It's a text editor that a lot of programmers use and I like it a lot better than the extendscript editor. VS code has a extendscript plugin that will allow you to execute the script in vs code to After Effects. The text...

For those who are unfamiliar with using Adobe Extension Builder this tutorial should give a quick introduction on how to get started.

Hello World, I've started a new tutorial series on Youtube for ExtendScript. These tutorial will be great for beginners and still useful for veterans. I only have one video for ExtendScript so far, but I will be bringing out two more videos this week and I have about 10 tutorials on Expression alrea...

Sorry for the late respond, but for these last two days I couldn't think of any way to use wiggle with another method like valueAtTime. The reason why I believe that After Effect is saying that "valueAtTime is not a function" is because After Effects is saying that there is error using val...

That's weird, so what you are saying is that wiggle is not working at all. If you are trying use wiggle for the position value that's in the same layer then just use wiggle() without adding transform.position and it will work the same as writing transform.position.wiggle(). In theory since valueAtTi...

I'm not completely sure what you are trying to do, but this will make the first code work...

If you are tired of the pain of the Expression editor then learn how to use an external text editor to code expression in After Effects.
 

Under the numX and numY variable (Note: You can get rid of numY, it's not doing anything): var row = thisComp.layer("Null 8").effect("Row Only")("Checkbox"); //Change this by pick whipping this to a checkbox control for X axis only var col = thisComp.layer("Null 8&...

I've got it to work: You don't have to zero your anchor this time, but if you are going to use this code make sure that the image layers are the first layers in composition If you tried using the earlier code, I forgot to tell you that the layers had to be the first layers in composition so sorry ab...

I'm happy that you found it useful.

No problem, glad I could help.

The code above is made to make a perfect grid, but if you want more freedom to offset you use this: You don't have to set the transform anchor to 0 for this code, but it might make it easier to control: var numX = 2; // Change this variable for how many images you want in one row var numY = 4; // Ch...

This might be one way to achieve that. ***When using this code make sure that the values for the transform anchor for these images are both set at 0; var numX = 2; // Change this variable for how many images you want in one row var numY = 4; // Change this variable for how many you images you want i...

You sure can. This is one way you might want to go about it. var temp = thisComp.layer("text").text.sourceText; // Pick whip sourceText from the text layer you want to use var num = Number(temp); // Number is a method that allows you to parse/convert a value to a number data type [num, num...

Before you "Convert Expression to Keyframes" in 2 array transform properties like position, anchor, or scale you can use this var x = Math.floor(value[0]); // Math.floor will round down the decimals to a whole number var y = Math.floor(value[1]); [x, y] For transform properties with no arr...
