Is it possible to check if a marker exists where the Current Time Indicator is?

Is it possible to access the font property for the "ADBE Basic Text2", "ADBE Numbers2", "ADBE Path Text" effects?

And is it possible to get all the fonts that are installed in After Effects? I'd like to be able to check if a used font is available on our render farm.

Thanks Paul.

How can one get the selected property of a layer/effect, etc? I've tried doing a search but the search tool restrictions keep saying that I'm using words that are too common.

Is there an accurate way to get timeToCurrentFormat to convert to frames? I have a clip that's 70 frames long at 24 and my javascript keeps returning 71 frames. I could add math to force it to be 71 but I have other clips of a different length that do report the correct frame length. So I'd like to ...

Is it possible to control the Auto-Save feature via scripting? I'm guessing no but it's worth a shot to ask. I'd like to control the path and filename that gets saved out.

Is there a way to make a comp start at frame 1 reliably through scripting? I've made a script but sometimes it won't always change the start frame to 1. Sometimes it changes it to 2. I have: var startFrame = 1/24; Which equals 0.04166666. On some computers .041 sets the comp to 1. On some .042 sets ...

I found this thread:

Is this still a bug?

What's the equivalent of "Save Frame As..."?

If I submit my comp through my script AE still adds the [####] padding which I don't want. I've tried the Command ID but that's not doing anything.

Why not? Build your templates and then save them out for others to load up. That's what I do. This puts everyone on the same page for what they should be rendering out.

Good point.

Populating a second array definitely works. No point in messing with my script if it works.

Ah good idea. Thx.

Is there a way to specify which directory AE opens up to with importFileWithDialog()? Currently AE just opens up to the last place you imported from.

Just a shot in the dark--on the Mac, do you have the preference set that allows scripts to access the network? Dan Hi Dan, That was one of the first things I checked. The user didn't have it enabled at first but after enabling it he still gets the same error message. One of my guys thought the word...

I get this error message.

"Unable to execute script at line 9. uncaught exception newImage"

Anyone know why that is?
