Thanks for the quick answers, guys! The first question was one that had been nagging me for forever, but I never got around to posting it. Seems obvious now.

I know the standard way of doing this is to reference the footage by its index number, but I am in a situation where that number will change depending on the file name. Example: I want to import cats.mov into comp but do not know ahead of time what that fo...

RotoBuddy Script -- Makes Rotoscoping Easier and Faster!

Everyone knows that After Effects isn't exactly the ideal software for rotoscoping, but if you work at a small to medium shop you'll probably end up having to do some heavy roto in it from time to time.

Advanced Incremental Save

One of the places I work for switched their naming convention to have the artists' initials AFTER the version number (i.e. test_v01_sw.aep ), so now the incremental save doesn't work properly. I wrote a short script that now allows you to incremental save with the initials afterword and update the i...

Hello! I recently wrote a new script for the place I am currently working. Their naming convention does not allow me to use AE's incremental save button, because they use the artists initials AFTER version number (i.e. "boyrunning_v04_sw.aep"). So I wrote a script posted below that will in...

Dropdown Menu listing all layers in active comp

Hi,

This request seems simple but I haven't seen an example of what I am looking for anywhere. I have a UI where I want to create a dropdown box listing all the layers in the comp. I think I know how to get the dropdown created, but I am not sure how to generate an array of all the layer names.
