Thanks! Yes it helps me. I actually had that guide (CS3 version) but I forgot about it; I read through the CS3 Scripting Guide instead and couldn't find the info. I wonder if that's javascript native because the method I knew (ActiveX I was talking about) goes something like this: myFSO = new Active...

Hi, Can I create a folder on the filesystem? I have a script make some changes to some files, but I'd like it to create a subfolder to store the changed files in. I can read() and write(), but as far as I've found out, I need a File System Object for writing folders. I didn't test if it works but I ...

Hi, I bet you found another solution, but I've written this script for that purpose. I thought I'd share it anyway because it's been the ultimate time saver for me. /********** * LayerNumbers ********** * Filename: RED Precomp Layers Headroom.jsx * Written by: Redsandro - http://www.rednet.nl/en/ * ...

It works like a charm!
I don't really get why it must be like this, but your solution works!
Thanks.

Wow, I didn't even notice this reply! How rude. Maybe it's because I am used to forums auto-subscribing you to your own topics.
Anyway, thank you! I do appreciate this.
I will check it out the next time I have to some tracker fun.

Oof a big document.. have you noticed important differences or updates?

Probably simple, but I don't get it.
I want to clone certain layers via a script. But how do I get expression compatible names for linking the properties? Both property.name and property.name give names containing spaces, which are not good for the dot syntax used for referencing in expressions.

Nice! Thanks.

OMG, AE is awesome!
Thanks.

Adobe should have put a feature movie on that video DVD that came with though. I like watching movies but the manual is written too explicitly to read 'just for fun'.

Now a lot of other animating masks that were perfect mess up the layer though.
I think I know the answer, but I recently learned I am wrong sometimes. But can motion blur be disabled for certain masks only?

What the hell? This is awesome! This is exactly what I want, but better! (Ofcourse after changing blur samples in composition settings to 8+.)
I sooo didn't know this.
Thanks!

Maybe I should feel stupid now.. CS3?
I'll check it out later..

Motion blur only works for moving layers. I mean feathering (not motion-blurring) the right amount for the motion tracked mask to match the motionblur of the footage (the motion blur that is already there), which would obviously increase when the mask moves more (and not the footage so the motion bl...

I was wondering if someone already made something like this. Rotoscoping motionblurred footage is not the easiest in After Effects. It would be good if there's an expression that takes all the points on a mask, and compares them temporally spatially (the positions to the previous or next frame), gen...

And here's a bug I had never encountered before: When there's an unrelated layer in the comp with a name of more than 31 characters that is also the source name so that it gets brackets (e.g. "[32chars(...)]"), whenever you run TrackerViz it mentions conflicting layer names and offers to ...
