system.callSystem (run as a new instance?) (AE7.0)
Posted: February 8th, 2006, 3:50 pm
The new "system.callSystem" command from AE 7.0 is a pretty exciting new feature because it allows you to run an external program without having to go thru the batch file / (undocumented) ".execute()" trick.
This new feature sounds wondefull on the paper but it looks like after effects 7 actually freeze (until you close the opened program) when you are using the new "system.callSystem". I guess AE is waiting for the opened program to return something.
Is there any possibility to run a program "as a new instance" with the "system.callSystem" ?
for exemple if i want to run :
i want to have access to AE without having to close the framecycler program first.
Any idea ?
Thanks
