i went digging around other scripts and found it.. of course it's not documented in the scripting guide which is not a surprise..

Code: Select all

app.project.renderQueue.item(index).outputModules.add();

I don't believe you can access the name of the project through expressions, just the name of the Comp, which you can get by adding this expression to Source Text: thisComp.name You can access the project's name through scripting. This script will create a new text layer and make it the name of the p...

the only solution we've been able to come up with is to write a script that sets the text in illustrator (although that is not bullet proof either) and brings it in to AE which then properly reports it's height and width

Arrange Selected Layers in a Grid

Arranges Selected Layers in a Grid with a choice to arrange them by Rows first (Left to Right) or by Columns first (Top to Bottom).

Layers should all be the same size.

How complicated would it be to modify this script to work with Selected Layers instead of all the layers in the Comp?

I've been trying to sort it out myself (pun intended :-) and have not had luck so far..

UPDATE!!

While the code i showed in the previous posts works well for single value arrays like opacity, it does not work so well for multi value arrays like position. This code works beautifully for position: fps=15; //frequency amount=50; //amplitude wiggle(fps,amount,octaves = 1, amp_mult = 0.5,(Math.round...

cel animation style hold frame animation

if you want a property to animate on 2's or 4's like they do in cel animation. Set some keyframes and apply this expression. It should work on any property. animateon=2; //as in animate on 2's or 4's framerate=(1/thisComp.frameDuration)/animateon; valueAtTime((Math.round(time*framerate))/framerate)
