Sure, you just need the points in some sort of format (.csv works for me), then read the file (easy), parse the file contents to an array (easy), then set the camera's position on each frame (easy).

I assume that that your path is just points, rather than in / out vectors as well?

This code works on a left / right / left wiggly path... You need a comp with 2 layers: travelling and falling. Every time the travelling layer goes over 300 px it executes the code ONCE, until it then goes under 300px ... then it waits for the next time it goes over. var comp = app.project.activeIte...

ExtendScript Editor

Wahoo! Well done Adobe ... this is brilliant!

The databrowser implimentation could be a lot better, but the interactive ability is brilliant. I've been using Crimson, but the interactive debugging is great.

Is there any way to activate a window via scripting?

app.project.activeItem is read only - but I want to bring a comp window to the front. Is there any way to do that?

Cheers,
Dave

Hi Robby, The problem arises because you are calling the valueAtTime method on a Number (position[1]), not a position Value (position): //bad position[1].valueAtTime(time - 0.1) //good position.valueAtTime(time - 0.1)[1] You may find it easier to understand things in future if you break your code up...

Running scripts from the command line: Scripting Guide ERROR

The example code in the Scripting Guide to launch scripts from the command line contains a grammatical error, that will cause your scripts NOT to run. Basically, the code therin is formatted using an em-dash – rather than a hyphen - (as Windows expects). If you were to copy and paste the code to a...

Thanks vidpat, Sure I could - and that's probbaly what I'll end up doing. For the record, Folder.current only worked for teh current evaluation of a script. As soon as it was done executing, Folder.current reverted back to /Support Files. It seems odd (but understandable) that you can't set it! Any ...
