I'm a little bit confused by the numbering of the commandline render output: PROGRESS: 00091 (91): 0 Seconds PROGRESS: 00091 (92): 1 Seconds PROGRESS: 00093 (93): 0 Seconds PROGRESS: 00094 (94): 0 Seconds PROGRESS: 00094 (95): 0 Seconds PROGRESS: 00096 (96): 0 Seconds PROGRESS: 00096 (97): 0 Second...

Sorry, I have no idea what you're talking about. Could you provide a better explanation or a reference image/ clip?

1) i was wondering if its possible to control mask pins with expressions. as far as i know (or as far i was able to figure out) it is not possible. or is it? Not possible. Requires plugins, but both toolsets are no longer available. 2) we all use expressions and expression controls, like sliders, c...

is this possible with an expression... Sure it is. you simply multiply the initial position by the scale factor e.g. p_pos_x=p_size_x=thisComp.layer("Parent").position[0]; p_pos_y=p_size_x=thisComp.layer("Parent").position[1]; p_scale=thisComp.layer("Parent").scale[0]/...

Animate a fade sequence and the use time remapping with a conditional statement. This technique is illustrated in the layer trail example at armoredsquirrel.com, Byron's website.

There's a keyframe to markers script floating around somewhere, maybe this can give you some ideas. I believe comp markers are read-only, though.

Being a Java coder at heart, I really want to be able to use classes , constructors etc. in my scripts. I don't mind if I do this by using JavaScript 2.0 features e.g. http://www.mozilla.org/js/language/js20-2000-07/core/classes.html Or by something like the importPackage() and importClass() functi...

Thx

Copy the mask to the clipboard, resize the layer, paste the mask. the mask will retain its initial size.

Wondering if anyone out there had found a way to load Output Modules and Render Settings using a script. Since I can't create them myself, I'm figuring I can just output the ones that I want to a file and then have AfterFX load that file in at render time. So does anyone know how to load ars and ao...

Hi all, This is my first post, I'm a bit of coding newbie, so please bear with me if I ask obvious questions. But I'll search the forums first, be sure :) My question is whether it's possible to create new menu items within AE (7.x+). I found something in Bridge scripting guide (most of which ofcou...

Hi All, I have a noobie question, plain and simple. How do you run a script? I have looked all through the AE Manual and it does not mention anywhere how to execute a script other than expressions. Are these scripts expressions? So how do I execute them? Thanks File --> Run Script (Professional onl...

Duplicate the lyer, delete all redundant masks. What's so difficult about that?

You need to define a floor somewhere as a numerical value, then interpolate the result. Change the code for position to something like that: yVelocity = 200; //pixels per second oscFreq = 1.5; //oscillations per second oscDepth = 35; //oscillation depth (pixels) drift = 25; // drift (wind?) (pixels ...

I have an animation of some stars falling down , kind of like a fireworks display. I made it with particular and precomposed the animation. I need this to loop continously for 120 frames. Is there a way to do this, so that the 1st and last frame match up seamlessly? No. Particular cannot be looped,...

This thread has been very helpful. I'm getting closer to getting this to work but I'm getting stuck still. Below is my test code. I'm trying to run a script in Photoshop from After Effects. The code below successfully launches Photoshop but doesn't pop up the alert that's in the "target.jsx&qu...
