Hey guys. I made a quick movie barcode generator to make these: http://moviebarcode.tumblr.com/ It isn't very elegant and needs to handle large video formats, but it works!

I just got schooled. Here is the result. Nice clean, elegant text layer fitting //Get Text Layer Width var myTextLayer = compElement.layers var rect = myTextLayer.sourceRectAtTime(1, true); var TextWidth = rect.width; //If the layer is too big, scale it down if(TextWidth > targetW){ var Y = (100*(ta...

I'm looping through a ton of layers and I want to run an app.executeCommand(2367); //newMask it fails to make the new mask because I haven't set the current layer to be the active item. I've tried deselecting everything, then selected the layer I'm looping through but its not workin. :cry: //get all...
