One tiny change

I'm almost always going to have multiple comps (different res) that need to be updated ... those are the ones I always forget.

How can I have this script update any text layer named "this project" in the entire project?

Thanks again.

Thank you!

Thanks they both seem to work fine. We never have spaces in filenames so don't think that'd be a problem. Thank you very much for taking the time to do this for me. I have one question. Is there any way to do this same thing in an expression, so that it updates automatically? I'm going to add this s...

name on slate

Thanks for the reply. The slate is just an art layer with a bunch of expressions on "number" that retrieves frame numbers and the date ... If I have to add another separate text layer that's fine. I hate having to go through each comp and change this every time I save a new version. Oh, ye...

Another render check

A script that would warn if all render item aren't the same length. I have to render several different resolutions of the same shot ... I use insert and replace and sometimes I forget to check the shot lengths. A dialog that I could add to my render script that would display the length of each item ...

Sure it's possible. I've seen it. Useful Assistance I think sells it. But couldn't you just make a script that has an indefinite loop and waits, say, 30 min before executing again?

Retrieve project name and put on slate

Can anyone help out with a script or expression that can place a project's name on a slate? I always forget to update this f'n text and I get bitched at. For some reason the render queue can call this info for the file name, but I can't figure a way to get it into a text layer or text option. Can an...

Preflight Render Script

I need a preflight script that I can't seem to get right. Here's what it needs to do: 1. Set the project to 16 bit 2. Make sure all renders are going to the same dir (New Render locations.jsx) 3. Save the project 4. Collect the files (I'll set the watch folder) I think this would be easy for one of ...
