Hi all, I've rewritten most of the scripts I've posted here, and published them, among with a few new ones, on my website. Have a look at http://bjorkvisuals.com/tools/adobe-after-effects . For example there is: - Nuke to After Effects exporter (3d objects) - Completely rewritten sb_autoRender - Scr...

Thanks for your reply Chris!

I've tested you suggestion and it does indeed work. However, the progress bar isn't updating for each value, it jumps from min to max value as it's finished. Is this the expected behavior? I've tried longer sleeps, but it had no effect. I'm running CC on Windows.

Cheers.

I still haven't found a solution for this. Maybe someone knows of an example script that could point me in the right direction?

I added a progress bar to a script, and everything seemed to work as expected, running it as a Window. However, as I tried to run in as a dockable panel I get an error saying I can't call update(). Am I missing something obvious here or can this not be done? Attached is an example script. function t...

Found app.exitAfterLaunchAndEval in the Scripting Guide. Seems to do the trick.

I'm trying to start After Effects from the command line and run a script at the same time. I do this by executing a .cmd file with the following content: c: cd "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS6\Support Files" AfterFX.exe -m -r D:\script.jsx This works, but as soon as the scri...

Thanks Xavier, that works perfectly. I will study your code and see if I can get an understanding. Cheers!

Anyone? I still haven't figured it out.

Hi all, I've been away from After Effects scripting for awhile, and now when I'm back I struggle with what I expect to be a simple task. I'm trying to create a new Window by clicking a button in my main Panel. However the new window closes as soon as it has been created. If I put an alert afterwards...

One way would be to use the SourceTC expression to read the timecode value and store that as a variable. That works if you for example want to create a new composition with the same timcode as the layer (equal to dragging the footage onto the create composition button).

Thanks for the kind words scribling, I'm glad to hear that you use it! I'm aware of several issues with this script, and when I find some time I'll post an updated version. Funny thing though, I'm not able to reproduce the issue you have. You mean you get double extension (.dpx.dpx)? Any other featu...

Thanks a lot Paul, that explains a lot. I also believe your explanation helped me track down an old bug in another script of mine. Thanks for taking the time!

Paul, once again, thank you for your help. I truly appriciate it. I tried the code you linked to and it does seem to work. However, I'm a bit unsure where to put my functions and user variables. Would you mind having a look at it? I will try to read up more on this as I realize I'm not fully followi...

Hi all, I have a strange problem that's driving me crazy. It might very well be that I'm misunderstanding the syntax, but I can't seem to find a solution. Anyway, the problem is the following: I have a script with a button and a dropdown list. When I press the button the script will alert the active...

Thanks a lot for that suggestion Paul, works perfectly!
