Hello, I need to figure out where an item resides inside my project. I can get parent folder with app.project.item(index).parentFolder and could loop my way through until i hit the Root but i'd rather not if there's a better way. So, to be precise, if i have: Project Root |-- Folder1 |-- Folder2 |--...

Hi,

How do you check if the project has been changed since the last save?
(visually represented as the little asterisk in the title area...)

Thanks

Yeah, just brake the expression string with quotation marks. var myComp = app.project.activeItem; var myLayer = myComp.selectedLayers[0]; var myLayerName = myLayer.name; var myNull = myComp.layers.addNull(myComp.duration); myNull.name = myLayerName + " Wiggle Control"; var SliderXFrequency...

Hi, Waking the thread to check if there's some more info on this. I don't want to use a third party script. Alternatively, i suppose it shouldn't be too hard making a complete script that will mimic the process. Does anyone know exactly what generated report contains (or could provide a relevant rea...

Yup, that works. Just needed an uppercase "L" in numLayers but easy enough to spot. For anyone who happens to stumble upon this thread in the future: var activeItem = app.project.activeItem; var compActive = false; var numLayers = activeItem.numLayers; app.executeCommand(2767); // New Null...

May be an overkill, but it gets me moving forward. How would you check if this particular null was created? I threw something together utilizing markers. var activeItem = app.project.activeItem; var selectedLayer = activeItem.selectedLayers[0]; try { app.executeCommand(2157); // app.findMenuCommandI...

Huh, that's interesting. Your code works perfectly well for me until i have a case when i'm selecting a comp item in project panel that has a layer selected inside. I could have opened up this comp in the past, selected a precomp and than moved on to other things. Later on, when i select a compositi...

Hi. First post here. Novice afterfx scripter, so fair warning in advance. I need to get a name of a composition whether it's selected in the Project window or as a precomp layer in timeline. My pseudocode: var activeItem = app.project.activeItem; if (activeItem is a compItem) { get activeItem name; ...
