Re: Create 50% grey solid

Yes! It took a few tries but it got it working. The values that work are (0.5, 0.5, 0.5)

Thank you!

Create 50% grey solid

How do I specify the color of the solid in script?

I've got everything else covered except the color.

Re: Auto Render 2 (file path, name etc) -- new version

Not really a double extension it was putting ".dpx" at the tail end of the filename. So, I'd end up with XXX_XXX_XXXX_comp_v0021.dpx.[####].dpx Oh, ya know ... that may have been something I altered a while back ... If you don't get it then forget it. My fault probably. This script is a ma...

Re: Auto Render 2 (file path, name etc) -- new version

I found the code that is causing the "Use Initials" to return the format (dpx) in the filename. Line 681 in my version. I've changed it quite a bit ... // Add intials to the file name. if(palObject.grp.left.five.useInitials.value == true){ newFilePath = newFilePath + UV17 + palObject.grp.l...

Re: Expression from expression?

I tried this:
ShotComp=parseInt(thisComp.layer("NAME").text.sourceText.split(";")[0]);
ShotComp.duration/ShotComp.frameDuration-1

... and get this:
... Class 'Number' has no property or method named 'duration.'

Re: Expression from expression?

Thanks for the reply.
The slate comp has one text layer that gets its value from the shotcomp name, but the others are the "numbers" text effect that reports duration.

Can I link the numbers text effect to the text layer?

I can't pick-whip it.

Thanks.

Expression from expression?

Is it possible to have an expression reference another expression? I have a slate comp that references the main comp with several expressions. When the expressions break I have to fix every expression. I'm wondering if I can have one master expression that references the main comp and all sub-expres...

Re: Solos to Render state script

I finally convinced everyone that rendering with Solos All Off is the way to work. So, no need for this script.

Re: How can I get this to work?

Would it be,
fastblur.property(3).setValue(true)
or
("Fast Blur").property(3).setValue(true)?

Neither work, by the way.

Re: Is this possible?

Can I take a look at your code and what you've done with the xml? I can edit and alter scripts to do what I need I just don't know where to begin.

Thanks

Could a script do this? Open a template file; (/path/to/file/template.aet) select "Footage" in project window; open "replace footage" dialog (wait for user assisted file selection); copy name of selected footage; open comp A; select "Footage" (or select all, with all ot...

Solos to Render state script

Is it be possible for a script to set each layers activation on or off depending on if that layer's solo switch is on? I have a problem, I always render with solos "all off" but when I work on someone else's project that renders "current settings" and uses solos like a second act...

Re: Solos and rendering, am I crazy?

Really? Solos work so well with the renderer set to "All off." It was a huge advancement in AE's workflow. Previously, AE had no way of quickly viewing layers without seeing the entire comp. If you remember, we had to deactivate all the other layers, then go through the comp and reset ever...
