Output Module

Hi Paynton, the Folder.getFiles() function will return an array of all files and folders as objects in that folder. It also accepts a function that can be used as a mask so that it only returns .ffx files or you can loop through the array and filter out the .ffx files afterwards (might be less confu...

Hi Koby, Both my Batch Search and Replace Paths http://aescripts.com/batch-search-n-replace-paths/ and my Photo Orientation Fixer http://aescripts.com/photoorientationfixer/ scripts work with metadata, the later works with EXIF data specifically. Hope you find them helpful and if you come up with a ...

It's not that straight forward. The AE docs explain it in detail but it still sounds like to me like you are running out of RAM. Depending on how big your pre-comps are and how many instances you have you might be hitting 32bit limits regardless of how much ram you have installed. This would explain...

When you multithreading do you mean that you have multi-processing turned on? If so 8GB is not enough RAM to successfully use MP.
