great script. couple questions though. is it possible to modify the script so that more than one effect can be added, and settings of eihter effect be adjusted? for example, if in addtion to the broadcast colors, i wanted to add a levels pass as well with the output white setting adjusted to 249. i...

These are versions of the Compify 720x486 script that work with Footage sources instead of Comps. Basically this script takes any Footage Items that are selected in the Project window, creates new 720x486 D1 Comps, adds and resizes the footage item to fit and gives you the option to add them to the ...

heh. actually i've got another question. is it possible to have it make a new comp from a selected movie and have it do the same thing, rather than having to make a 720x540 comp first? the reason i ask is i usually render everything at 720x540 and then create a new project to convert my movies to D...

thanks for pointing that out.. it's been fixed

COMPIFY-720x486_w_Preset-AE7.jsx

that works.. thanks!

I have a main comp that has pre-comps that start staggered in time. The pre-comps have elements that i would like to be animated using sound keys, but the sound keys output is in the main comp. When i link the items in the pre-comp to the sound keys output, it always goes to frame 1 instead of where...

great addition goldomega, since the Offset plugin does not motion blur!

Small correction to the expression, apparently .speed only pulls a 1 number array, so no need for the [1]:

Add the Distort->Offset plugin to a piece of footage and add this expression to the "Shift Center To" property. If you want a black line or film frame around the footage, pre-comp and do it there. fps= 24; t=time * fps; move= t * thisComp.height; reset=Math.floor(move/thisComp.height); mov...

awesome.. that did the trick!

thanks,

Lloyd

I wrote and expression using the Offset plugin to imitate a film projector: fps= 24; t=time * fps; move= t * 486; [effect("Offset")("Shift Center To")[0],effect("Offset")("Shift Center To")[1] + move] This expression works great until the Offset value gets pas...

By the way, I updated my Compify-720x486 script to work with non 4:3 Comps (it letterboxes them).

Fits selected layers (they can be different sizes and pixel aspect ratios) proportionally to fill the Comp frame by giving you the choice of either cropping or letterboxing.

Hey Scott,

I wrote a script that should do what you want.. You can download it here:


Fit2Frame.jsx

Please let me know how it works out..

-Lloyd

I found my mistake.. I didnt see that the scale values were multiplied by 100 in setscale method. So this works fine. Now one quesion. Is there any similar formulae to fit the comp into letterbox size? Thanks, Payal Hey Payal, Thanks for pointing that out, I modified the script to work with non 4:3...

Perhaps just uploading a copy of your preferences file to a server or storing it on a disk or thumb drive would be the best approach. Then you could manually back up the machine's current preferences, copy over your own, and restore when you are done. That shouldn't be too much work. And that's wha...
