Well, I'm no scripter! I really enjoy using scripts, but just have the most difficult time writing them. I basically can't write them, I kinda take pieces from other scripts and patch together what I want a script to do, and try to work on it until it works. Not the best way...
But I have some simple repetitive tasks I'd love to have a script for, and I'm pretty sure it's super easy, and I guess I'm kinda hoping maybe one of you guys could crank it out in like ten minutes.
I would be enternally grateful!!
Here's what I'm hoping to do:
1) - I would have a project open with one piece of footage in the project bin, a piece of DV footage.
2) - You would select the footage item and run the script.
3) - The script would check the footage and see if it's Lower field first or Upper, then import the same footage again and set Upper or Lower to the opposite of what the first footage is. It would also change the label color to indicate it's different.
4) - It would create a comp of the footage, the equivilent of dragging the first piece of footage to the Comp button on the project window.
5) - It would then put the second piece of footage (with the opposite field order) on top, and set the opacity to 50%.
6) - It would then put an adjustment layer on the very top, with a Sharpen effect set to 15.
Does this sound easy? If not, can anyone give me some pointers on what parts of this will be easy or difficult?
