"temp" is the name of the variable. On the first line "temp" was assigned the value of the slider, so let's say the slider is set to 50. The second line is the final expression that is calculated, which would be [100, 50]. So, if the expression is on "Scale" it would as...

If you are using AE in English you can just use ("Slider") instead. "ADBE Slider Control-0001" is the matchName of the actual slider--meaning that no matter what language AE is being used in that matchName will always reference that part of the effect--it is hardcoded into the pr...

Not all, but here are a few: app.activeViewer app.activeViewer.active app.activeViewer.activeViewIndex app.activeViewer.maximized app.activeViewer.setActive() app.activeViewer.type app.activeViewer.views app.activeViewer.views[0] app.activeViewer.views[0].active app.activeViewer.views[0].blitPlaybac...

Another fix would be to create a rotoBezier mask on the shapeLayer then just link the shapePath to the maskPath via expressions.

Apparently it's unable to be handled. According to the JavaScript Tools Guide: Messaging error codes Negative values indicate unrecoverable errors... -29 Uncaught exception 57 Cannot resolve reference So, I came up with this ugly solution: maskPath = thisComp.layer(1).mask(1).maskPath; try { if (mas...

I have an animated mask path on layer 1 and I am trying to handle an "After Effects error" with the following expression in source text: try { x = thisComp.layer(1).mask(1).maskPath.velocity; } catch (err) { x = "error"; } The error I keep getting is: After Effects error: can't c...

The ScriptUI scripts in the Window menu should already be in alphabetical order. If you are talking about File>Scripts then I think it lists scripts in this order:

Numbers
Upper-case Letters
Lower-case Letters

At the end of the expressions just make sure it says ".position[2]"

You can also just pick whip the z position and it will put the [2] at the end for you.

0 is x, 1 is y, 2 is z

New Version coming soon: Using pre-existing corner pin effects within After Effects this script: 1) Converts corner pin effects using expressions 2) Creates simple corner pin mattes 3) Rotates corners 4) Adds a simple corner pin 5) Adds ability to round edges of corner pin Supported Corner Pin Effec...

That first script is a mess. I just wrote a much cleaner version where the Undo actually works. I'll post it as soon as I do some more testing.

Here's a not so pretty attempt. You need the After Effects project file (attached) in the same folder as the script. Also the undo is messed up. Maybe somebody better at scripting could help get the undo working, but other than that it's functioning: #target aftereffects { function df_AddPointLights...

Nevermind -- I managed to modify multicopy to flop keyframes.

I would like to "Flop Keyframes." This is similar to "Time-Reverse" with the following exceptions: 1)"Flop Keyframes" would reverse all keyframes in relation to all other selected property keyframes ("time-reverse" just reverses the keyframes in relation to th...
