Do you want we write it for you or do you prefer some guidance only ? Does this sound easy? To answer ... 3) easy for the interpretation but you can't change the label color (but you could rename approriately the footage items and/or leave a comment "upper" ,"lower") 4) easy 5) e...

a way to create a default mask around the text, through script To my knowledge, no way to get this rectangular default box. I did a quick jump into the SDK guide a few months ago and found the syntax that returns the width of a text, something like myTextWidth = in_data->extent_hint.right - in_data...

From the scripting guide:

Project selection attribute
app.project.selection
Description
All items selected in the Project panel, in the sort order shown in the Project panel.

I would prefer to keep the same order in which the items have been selected, like the selectedLayers attribute.

Hi Darkmoon, I did a quick test : - 1 comp, 1 solid, 5 frames - render queue, BMP Sequence, Format Options - BMP Options -depth 24 Bits, Render Exported images were 24 Bits so I guess this functionnality is not broken. But you're right, if you click again on the Format Options button, the former sel...

Hi slawes, you could add a blank character to the folder names (" comps", " footages"), they should appear at the top of the project panel if items are sorted by Name. You could also choose the "sort by Type" mode, or loop through the items until they've all been scanne...

Hi Jaxson, you can't really "copy/paste" with scripting, instead you create a new object with the same properties/characteristics and assign it to the former one.. something like that. regarding the situation you described, if the masks are straight lines, it should be easy to find the app...

Hi there, i've found this website http://hpcgi2.nifty.com/Nekomata/nekojyarashi/wiki.cgi?ObjectList01 in which there is a list of all objects/methods that can be used in a AE script. i've noticed so many things that are not documented in the scripting guide, like the (app.) method "autoFixExpre...

Great work Lloyd ! For the Windows version, you should add 5 units to the height of the "Refresh", "Show Queued.." and "Set.." buttons (and they'll appear like on your screenshot). I don't know exactly what is wrong with your scheduleTask stuff (to remove the .bat file)...

- access project items by name
- boolean mask vertices attribute that indicates if a particular vertex is selected or not ( "if (myVertices.selected) ...." )

- composition-time markers

That's the problem, the alt-drag command is not scriptable. In addition to the previous " features requests": - convert audio to keyframes - auto trace / creates outlines - more ui elements - easy "key-shifting", like myKey.moveTo(theTime); - setting an activeComp (Darkmoon's req...

hi pdeb,
I've updated this "old" script, you may download it again to see if that fixes the problem.

(btw, a new donwload page for my website with several new scripts is currently in preparation )

nice !
There is also the shift operator ">>" to emulate Math.floor.

scheduleTask doesn't seem to be your best friend :) here is the quick test I've made. I've created a root folder named "Projects" and place a "demo.aep" project inside (with a comp ready to render in the queue). The following script first calls aerender via a .bat command file -t...
