Thanks, that did it. I was use to setting values for solids and stuff and only needed the three RGB 0-255 value.

Having trouble getting the "Map White To" parameter of the Tint filter to setValue correctly. My line of code is like this: myComp.layer(10).Effects.addProperty("Tint"); //add filter myComp.layer(10).property("Effects").property(1).property("Map White To").set...

Thanks Paul, works great. I modified it a little more so it loops through all items in render queue and changes them, which is what I will end up needing for a project next week. As always I appreciate the help. Here's the new code: { var activeItem = app.project.activeItem; // make sure a comp is s...

Adding additional output modules without using executeCommand(app.findMenuCommandId("Add Output Module")); I am able to access OM 2 and change it like this... curItem.outputModule(2).applyTemplate(templateName); ...but obviously only when OM index 2 exists to begin with. I was trying to ad...

"Duplicator" Assembled by: David Torno (note that I said assembled and NOT created by) :mrgreen: :) This script was the result of testing i've been doing. I was trying to understand how to build AE dockable scripts. While this is NOT the only way to create them, this turned out to be a mor...

Hey Paul, thanks for the solution and explanation. I understand now why it wasn't finding 'myPanel.butTwo' in the numLayers variable. I feel a little more confident now trying to possibly tackle an update to one of my previous scripts all on my own. We'll see though, lol. Thanks again.

Code: Select all

Thanks Yenaphe, but it didn't work.

I am running some experiments and teaching myself AE Dockable ScriptUI building (yes, I know my first script was a dockable panel, but only with Paul's help. :D ) and I can't seem to find the answer/syntax for retrieving a user entered value from an edittext box within the AE script language. I crea...

This script can be tweaked fairly easily to adjust for a different text document also.

I've had a few people elsewhere prefer a scroll version, so I re-updated it with the original listbox code that Paul worked out for me. You have two options now.

Hi all, First off I want to thank Paul Tuersley for all of his help and expertise. I feel that this script is in a form now that is ready for release. This may not clean up your bins, build a cool effect or create any eye candy for that matter, but I believe is a very useful and practical tool. Ever...

Ok, I've gotten this to a presentable state. I like the interface and the overall minial space it takes up. The listBox option you used eventually gave me an idea. So the new setup is this... WARNING!!!! If you do run this script, it must be in the "ScriptsUI Panels" folder and launched fr...

Paul is there a way to put the scroll on the palette itself? (beggers can't be choosers, I know, but it's worth asking)

The list box setup works great, but the white background is blaring in a dark interface.

Just a freebie script to make a dockable window that loads the current AE shortcuts pref file so artists can have a hot key reference available at all times when working. This would end up including all of those obscure hotkeys that some people use once every blue moon, but have a need for on their ...

DOH! Stupid mistake on my part. I was saving to a copy on the desktop, but running the old code from the ScriptUI folder. Sorry about that.
