...ZOMFG! Just the kind of hacky workaround we've all been waiting for... amazing, thanks Byronnash!

Sorry for the shameless plug, but I believe there will be some common interest here. As an aspiring Blu-ray Java developer, I have found few places online for people like myself to collaborate and share information. At this early stage in the game, there are many question to be answered, and 'best p...

My guess is you'd need to write a script to 'unpack' all the nested comps into one large comp before using the in built export function again... I'm sure you already considered this as your least desired option, but I'm afraid to say there is no simple 'one shot' feature to do this, that I am aware ...

Tasty!!! Nice touch on the animating GIF too.

Recreating what you describe in After Effects, the slider object seems to manifest itself as a generic 'Property' object. Probing it further with reflection we can see that the 'Property' object for the slider, has the following methods and properties. To see more about reflection see my post here: ...

w00t! I was Googling for a reference to that Photoshop issue; and came across this thread: http://ps-scripts.com/bb/viewtopic.php?p=8015 To quote: Most scripting languages (and some others) have automatic memory management. The interpreter has the smarts (usually) to know when memory is no longer be...

I write Scripts to produce hundreds of data-driven graphic screens and have noticed the same thing - the slowdown is quite significant. So far my solution has just been to throw enough PC's at the render to get it done in time, but it would be very nice to get to the bottom of the issue. I think its...

Care to tell me where that was documented before I go and quietly shoot myself?

http://chrishatton.homeip.net/wp-content/uploads/bridge.jpg A request that seems to crop up time and again is how to read data into Adobe Scripts from Excel spreadsheets. For a long time the standard advice has been to export and read-in via a delimited text file (CSV). There are some situations wh...

We do a lot of transcoding in my work, and find that in many situations where other apps fall down, Canopus Procoder comes out champion.

I think the reason it is not being renamed by your call to FileObj.rename() is that even after rendering, the OutputModule still holds a reference to a (non existant) file without the numbers on the end. Having some experence in this, I think After Effects puts the numbers on at a very late stage in...
