In scripting/expressions colours are always defined in the range 0.0-1.0

Check out the sourceRectAtTime method in the scripting guide. var bounds = app.project.activeItem.layer(1).sourceRectAtTime(activeItem.time, true); alert("top = " + bounds.top + "\rleft = " + bounds.left + "\rheight = " + bounds.height + "\rwidth = " + bounds....

Here's a script that will select all layers above a single selected layer. It would be pretty easy to adjust it to do different things. Really you need a script that presents a UI to offer different options, but it isn't really worth the effort. You can just use the Shift key to select a range of la...

This script is very useful for finding the correct property paths:

Yes it's working for me. How are you using it? I've got:

That sort function looks about right, but obviously you should test it to make sure it's doing what you expect. I would wrap something like this in a loop afterwards to check the result: $.writeln(selectedLayers[x].index) Another way would be to just loop through all layers in the comp, checking if ...

Once you've applied the expression you can just read the resulting value, delete the expression then re apply that value. Something like: theProperty.expression = "my expression"; var result = theProperty.valueAtTime(0,false); // return preExpression value = false; theProperty.expression =...

It should be:

else if (selectedLayers.threeDLayer == false){

You could either set up your onClicks this way: myPanel.butLink.onClick = function() { LinkOrBake(true); }; ////////////// function LinkOrBake(link) { if (link) { or you could query the text in the button that called the function: myPanel.butLink.onClick = LinkOrBake; /////////////////////////// fun...

You could always create some AE projects that just contain a comp and render queue item for each specific output module template and have those in a folder on your network accessible by the script. If the script can't find the required output module it can look for a project with the same name in th...

I have a feeling looping in reverse won't work here. That works in situations where you're looping through an index deleting things like keys, layers or footage, but in this case it is about moving things in the project window so I would think there's as much chance of messing things up if you loop ...

You could do something like: if (thisComp.layer("Null 1").effect("Checkbox Control")("Checkbox").value) { 100; } else { 0; } The if statement tests if something is "true". i.e if (1 == 1) (if 1 is equal to 1), if (1 < 2) (if 1 is less than 2). The checkbox val...

I have a script called OpenSesame which can be used to open AE projects in older versions, back to CS3. So you could apply the preset to a new project in your current version, use OpenSesame to export it, then reimport it into your earlier version of AE, select the keyframes, etc and save as a new p...

This will fix it:

File.decode(app.project.file.name)

My guess is that this could be due to the items' indexes changing when you move them. You're looping through app.project.items, but changing what's inside it during the loop. I'd suggest storing the item objects you find in another array and only moving them one you've looped through them all.
