Re: preferredSize crash
Thanks Sébastien. No matter what engine is selected in ESTK (AE or ESTK), the chosen app quits immediately. It is apparently a Mac-only bug.

Re: Accessing AVLayers
Define the "myLayer" variable outside the function, or modify the function so that it returns the created layer.

Re: Resize layer at every frame to match a given layer
Something like this:
Code: Select all
var comp = app.project.activeItem;
alert("Comp frame rate: " + comp.frameRate);
var layer = comp.layer(1);
var layerDur = Math.round(Math.abs(layer.outPoint-layer.inPoint)*comp.frameRate);
alert("Layer duration (in frames): " + layerDur);

Take a look at this sample and see if you can modify it to fit your needs

Re: UI Panel event-handling callbacks
As far as I know a script can't be aware of such dependencies.

Re: Domino Effect..
This question should be asked in the Expression section of the site. Do a search for valueAtTime.

Re: import mask, keyframe data from text file or svg - elaborate
A script can parse a svg file containing some path data (e.g. polyline), and create/animate a mask/shape accordingly. If you have scripting abilities, look at the Shape() object in the scripting guide for more info on how to access and set mask path value.

Re: linear() in scripting
There are two possibilities for using these functions: 1) write a temporary expression and retrieve the value (preExpression flag set to false). Easy to code but slow execution (ok for computing few values) 2) port these Expression functions to pure JavaScript that a script will understand. Some of ...

Re: Using toString() method to alert directory path...
You could also use the built-in function decode(). Every special character will be decoded.
Code: Select all
alert(Folder.decode(newRenderLocation));

// Comments can produce error
The following behavior has been experienced on a Mac (10.5) with AE CS4. It seems that not adding a newline after a comment (e.g. "// my comment") produces an error ("No closing brace found"). In other words a // comment must not terminate the expression field. For example, this ...

Bypassing layer's frameBlending read-only limitation
For some reasons the frameBlending attribute of an AVLayer is read-only, meaning that you cannot (via a script) set it to the type you want. I was working on a project in which most of the comps contained tons of layers (imported from a Premiere project). Some of these layers were time stretched and...
