I'll play around with it a bit more to see why it isn't moving on to put the file. Did it throw up an error about access to the local file or the transfer being unsuccessful? I need to find some more servers to test with as the four I've tried now work with the client. The reason that there are two ...

I'm glad everyone seems to be pleased with the script... even before it worked. Thanks for your confidence. Download the new version of FTPConnection.jsx which I have now had good luck with on several servers. Based on Disciple's latest report, all should be well in the Mac world. Also, I fixed the ...

Oops. That's what I get for renaming functions half way through. I correct line 92 of FTPConnection.jsx, as you have done, for future downloads. Thanks for letting me know. I didn't have an anonymous FTP server to try it with, so I just put that functionality in on the chance that it would work. How...

That's not good. I can't think of anything that would cause this. In any nominal situation, the script would pop up something. If there are no queued render items, it would tell you otherwise it would prompt you for FTP settings. If it didn't find the scripts upon which it depends, it would warn you...

I had some free time on Saturday so I decided to try my hand at the FTP script. Below you will find what I came up with. I have not tested it rigorously. However, it does seem to work. I was surprised that there doesn't seem to be a way to launch a shell script from an AE script. Thus, I implemented...

As for pixel averaging, two effects come to mind that do this. I am not certain if this is what you had in mind or how they compare to Shake's functionality. Image Control > Color Link colorizes a layer with several types of averages of the pixels from a layer. Render > Eyedropper Fill similarly col...

The default button width is varied based on Windows/Mac and whether the text is Japanese, based on the code in Adobe's example DemoPalette.jsx. I have only used the script under Windows, so I am not certain how well all of the default sizes will port to the Mac. The way UILayout.jsx is presently set...

The following is the UI code from a script that sorts layers within a composition. This demonstrates using the layout manager. // Globals used for some components to retrieve values later var sortBy, optReverse, optSelectedOnly, optUnlockedOnly; // Include UILayout.jsx and any other scripts. include...

I posted the layout manager in the General Scripts Library.
I hope that it is of use.

Script UI Helpers

There seems to be some interest in facilitating the building of UIs. I wrote the following scripts to overcome some of the limitations of Adobe's script UI implementation. Below you will find a brief description of each script. I make modifications to them as needed, so they are still rough and shou...

When I started writing scripts for AE, I was frustrated by Adobe's script UI implementation, too. I ended up writing a basic layout manager. There were a few things I had wanted to change before posting it, but I haven't gotten around to it. However, if there is interest, I will gladly post the scri...
