Much obliged

Hi, is there a method for moving an item to a specific folder in the project panel. I can't find anything about it in the scripting PDF.
Pete

Hi, I am not sure if this is a really obvious one but what I am trying to do is place a comp within another comp. In the AE interface this would be that same as dropping a comp onto the comp icon at the bottom of the project panel.
Thanks

Hi, according to the Object Model Viewer in the Extendscript Toolkit, the File class has a method called changePath which I can't get to work. For example, here I am trying to move a file from my desktop to my documents folder. var theFile = File("~/Desktop/theTextFile.txt") theFile.change...

Hi I am making a little script to automate making MOVs from AVIs and also to have the new file be saved to the location of the original. Everything seems to be working fine except on the last line I get an error. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? var theDuration = (app.project.item(1).duration); var...

Hi I am making a script that makes an adjustment layer with a levels effect on it and I would like the the rgb gamma property to be an expression deriving its value from the input white property. Although I can get the expression to work as a simple number eg: myComp = app.project.activeItem; mySoli...
