By the way, I'm taking your class at fxphd at the moment. Great stuff!

Lloyd, you're a star. Absolutely brilliant. Just what I needed :). One suggestion to improve even more would be to add a "save as" dialog when the project is loaded, as you could accidentely save your project and thereby overwrite your template at the moment. Or load the template as a &quo...

I know of (and use) the "LoadProjectSetup" script. It works great, but as I use AE for a lot of different things, I would like to be able to choose brtween different setups. So my question is if it's possible tp write a script that when you start AE you get a dialog box that asks you what ...

Thank you Paul, that worked :). Never knew about the "Create keyframes from expression" thingy. Quite handy. I still think it would be nice to have a script for this though, maybe with an update buttuon to update keyframes if you move your nulls... Will look into what I can do with my (at ...

Nuke has this wonderful little node calles "Reconcile 3D" that is very handy in different situations. What it does is that you attach your camera to it and you attach an axis node (Nukes "nulls") to it. It then calculates the 2d position of the axis and gives you regular 2d xy po...

That worked perfectly! Thank you for taking the time

Really? So I can't have a slider that changes the (1) value to (2) for example?

Probably very easy, but I haven't gotten it to work yet. I have a comp has a null with an slider control and a text layer with the "thisComp.layer(1).name" expression on the source text. I would like to update the selected layer (1), via the slider control, but it won't let me do this with...

If I have to layers in the project window and drag them both to the "make new composition" icon, I get a dialog box that asks me what layer to take the attributes from. How would I do this by scripting? Say I had a clip01 and a clip02 and would like the comp to take the attributes of clip0...

Thank you Paul, that worked perfectly!

Sorry for all the posts, I got exited of a possible workflow improvement. I managed to add an animation preset.

Is there a lot of work to convert it to work in CS5?


Example script attaced.

Oh, it actually puts the clip01 above the clip01_bg layer already. Now I would only need to apply a animation preset to the top layer and get it to work in CS5. Ideas?

Just tried this and it works great on CS4! I'm looking for a script that does exactly what it already does, but the names would be i.e clip01 and clip01_bg. No alpha. To clip01 an animation preset would be applied that keys the top layer. Would this be hard to do? Also, how would I do to get it to w...

This script is great! I still don't know much about scripting, but I managed to customize it how I wanted it, creating layers, running scripts etc. Timesaver! One thing though, I'm trying to add an image to the UI, but I can't figure out how to do it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I posted this on the Adobe forums a couple of weeks ago: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3021469#3021469 Basically I would like to mimic Nukes' "PointTo3D" node. What it does is that it can find the proper z-position of an object in your 2d plate. You basically select the 2d position of yo...
