Noob Question how to get started?
Posted: November 19th, 2009, 9:50 am
I understand JavaScript, and I've done some application scripting like using Python with Blender.
But I'm not sure how to get started with AE and JavaScript. I downloaded the Javascript Tools Guide and have been reading through it.
For my first application, I want to make a simple bit of code that puts guides at certain points in X and Y in the active viewer window.
I don't know where I go to find out what kind of API I connect with to access the viewer window or how to describe the guides etc. So any help is appreciated.
We are upgrading a lot of our old files from SD to HD and I want to be sure that any new art is within safe title/safe action/lower third zones. I realize that AE has some limited guides already. They show safe title for HD, but not for animations created at HD and output at SD. But I really want coding advice, not a work-around.
Thank you.
