Here is a bit of a hack that works in CC2014 & CC2015 (and onwards, probably..). ( From: https://www.provideocoalition.com/after-effects-menu-command-ids/ ) You would have to check if the command ID is valid for other AE versions.. app.executeCommand(2080); // Equals Edit -> Duplicate A more acc...

I have been using Zorro all day, by the way, and it is a huge improvement to the workflow. Thanks a lot.

Hi Lloyd, Thanks for pointing me to these scripts. They work great, except for not having the ability to isolate properties within the layers. I'd be happy if you considered implementing that in the next version of Zorro. And do you think there will be a problem isolating properties with so-called C...

Hi all, I'd like to see a script that defines and select (highlight) a group of Layers and specific Properties within them, while hiding the remaining Layers and Properties. With more Selection Groups defined, switching between them should be quick and easy. In a complex Composition it can be very t...

One problem that I have ran into earlier with these kind of script, is that they are not able to copy from Custom Data keyframes (say ie. from an effect like Distort -> Mesh Warp).

Does anyone have any ideas on how to achieve that?

I've been getting a lot of these lately:

"Unable to execute script at line 75. After Effects error: Unable to set "width". value -2616 out of range 1 to 30000."

Is it possible to make the script also ignore layers that are outside of the canvas?

Initial tests works great. Thanks a lot for this.

Ignoring adjustment.. That is very clever. Preserving its effect on layers below when the Collapse Transformations is checked. I have no problem with that.

Apparently, the script works great in CS3 as well, apart from the problem mentioned above (ie Photoshop documents with Groups inside another Group, creating a chain of nested compositions in After Effects). However, I have found a workaround. The nesting and layers of the compositions are like this:...

Thanks for this very helpful script. It works perfectly fine in AE7 (Windows) while I have experienced problems in CS3. I think it might relate to CS3 being able to import Photoshop-files with layer sets within another layer set. The files for witch I want the PreComps cropped are like this. Any hel...
