OK, this seems to be an ExtendScript Toolkit issue.
app.project comes up as an error when using this, but not if the script is run manually. What a PITA!
Any further thuoghts are VERY welcome.

Is the project one converted from AE6.5? I had a script once that gave me all sorts of problems until I figured out that my client was running on an old project opened in v7 as "Untitled". Once he saved the project it worked. I'm not sure if that helps you or not...

The only thing I can think of is you haven't set the target to After Effects in the top left of the ExtendScript window....but then that seems a bit too obvious.

Nothing is ever too obvious! At least, not in this case...
It's been a while since I scripted AE (a good 9 months) and there's only so much room in my (FIFO) head!
Thanks Paul

I would concur with Paul. Confirm that ESTK's target menu is set to After Effects. I've never encountered app.project not returning a Project object in AE7.

Sorry Jeff,
What I meant was: YES - THAT WAS IT!
So thanks to Paul for stating "the obvious". Which I had missed.
Duh...

adding that
line is always a handy sanity check! Also I've been wrapping project calls in a try/except block just to be sure, as scripts tend to fall over if you're in a blank project.
Code: Select all
#target aftereffects
