I have a long line of text. I want to create a separate layer for each letter without changing the current line's layout (size, kerning etc)

anyone know if there is a script anywhere for this?

This would be a VERY handy script: A script that would collect all the fonts used in an AE project and copy them to a destination. Much like Collect files does for the linked files in an AE project. I realize this is probaby not easy, and would be totally different for Mac and Windows, but WOW how h...

hmmm, this seems to only limit the amount of the wiggle, I want to keep the amount (amplitude) constant, yet, vary the probability of the wiggle.

So sometimes it would wiggle, say 50 pixels at a give frequency, then other times it would not.

any ideas?

I have a simple expression for random wiggle: seedRandom(13,true); wiggle(2,7) I would like to add code that would introduce probability, so if probability = 0 there the expression would yeild no wiggle, and if it were 100 it would wiggle all the time (yeilding the same result as the expression abov...

not sure if this is possible, I doubt it, but... I work in a facility, AE projects are worked on by many artists. If 2 artists unknowingly open the same project on the server, they can unknowingly save over each other's work.. Is there a script, when run, would check to see if anyone else has the pr...

hi Nab, I uploaded before and after screeshots. they are at: http://www.hiredweapon.com/post/script_1.jpg http://www.hiredweapon.com/post/script_2.jpg the project files: http://www.hiredweapon.com/post/trim_script folder.zip again, seems the script leaves unselected comps (that are not precomps of t...

hi Nab. looks like the new script is moving the files related to the selected comp to new folders that the script creates, but other comps and files are not removed (even with this option checked off)

I am on a Windows PC running AE 7

Hi Nab. Seems the script does collect the files and create the new folders but it is not clearing out all the other unselected comps and related elements. So I get a project, as it was before I run the script, but with the added folders w/ collected elements. Nothing is removed from the project. (bt...

oh, wow, I didn't even look, someone just requested this a few posts down!

Well, maybe my post will help describe this further.

Ok, here is a tough one, but a good one I think: Problem: I often need to import only one or two comps (and associated images and precomps) from rather complicated AE projects. I like to work organized and simply so I do want import the WHOLE project, into the new comp, only the stuff I need. Soluti...

perfect! Thanks

I often work with multiple masks and change the colors of the masks to match the modes, for ex: ADD masks are GREEN, SUBRACT masks are RED, INTERSECT masks are BLUE etc. It is possible to write a script that would re-label the mask colors based on this criteria? btw: Yellow masks NEVER work for me, ...

here's a great one: I prefer painting in AE, rather than Photoshop for final output in AE. But the paint strokes are live (non-destructive), and really add up in render time after a while (opposed to PS which is destructive) How about a script that commits ths paint strokes on a layer by rendering t...

this more than answers my question, thanks!

this will work well if you have position keyframes and you would like decay after the keyframes on the y axis (Thanks to Dan Ebberts for the original code) n = position.numKeys; if (n > 0){ t = time - position.key(n).time; if (t > 0){ freq =8; amplitude = 50; decay = 2.0; e = amplitude*Math.sin(freq...
